Electric Wind God Vids is back and we’re picking up where we left off: picking apart Eddy’s stances. Last week we gave an overview of the very annoying Relax stance. Today, we’re covering his Handstand stance: a larger stance that serves as a more transitional state then an all-out mix-up stance.

Despite the lack of a un-seeable power low, though, Handstand can murder you with crushing mids and fast power crushes if you aren’t careful. Learn when the gaps appears off his transitions and Handstand becomes more liability than leverage for Eddy’s mix-up game.

Want to play a meter-using character in the Tekken 7 but not sure if Akuma’s stubby limbs will work for you? Worried about how new Geese will be, and just want to jump in to a character that’s already understood? Maybe Tekken’s Mistress of the Dark, Eliza, will compliment you.

Tekken player UFOrange has put together a great Eliza combo showcase to show off what the immortal seductress is capable of. This dive-kicking, fireball-chucking monster has no lack of versatility or punishment options, and can dump her meter into many situations for big damage.

Do you want to play as a Bear in Tekken 7? Are you on a losing streak because you have no idea what Kuma does? If you fall into either one of these camps, FrameWhisperer Tekken‘s comprehensive Kuma & Panda guide is worth your time.

In the past, Kuma has been a low tier, gimmicky character with an inordinate amount of range and knowledge checks. This, combined with an odd hurtbox that can change juggle options for his opponents, can give new players trouble the first time they encounter him in the wild. But in Tekken 7, the Bears now also have decent block punishment options and combo damage, making them an even bigger threat then they ever were before.

There’s no question that wall combos in Pokkén Tournament DX hurt. Many characters are capable of pumping out almost 40% or more damage optimally, without spending any other resources.

But just in case that’s not enough for you, there is a glitch with wall combos in Pokkén that let’s you completely bypass the damage scaling your combo should be taking. As demonstrated by 21 Hits, combining this glitch with resets can lead to round-winning situations off of a single scramble — what can you come up with for your character?

CrossUPDP is back with more of his “MAX DAMAGE” combo tutorial series, and today he’s tackling the much-maligned season 2.5 Ryu.

While Ryu may have gotten his Dragon Punch back thanks to the mid-season balance patch, many still regard the original World Warrior as relatively weak in SFV. We can see here, however, that has less to do with damage output and more to do with the situational, counter-punching nature of his toolset. Ryu’s damage output still hurts when he scores his hits, sometimes even out-damaging and out-stunning the glorious Lord Bison for the same resources. Which just goes to show: damage is a good thing, but it’s not everything when it comes to the overall strength of a character.

No one has ever accused Tekken 7‘s Lee of being an easy or straight forward character. You rarely see the character in tournament play due to the complex nature of his combos and overall game-plan, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t an incredible reward for your excellent effort.

This is exemplified in his Magic 4, a counter-hit fishing 11-frame high that can lead to upwards of 44% damage without rage. Lee player TZMurakumo shows off this tool in his latest combo video, with a series of progressively more impractical and powerful combos for the adopted Mishima.

King of Fighters XIV combo makers COMBONAUTS are known purveyors of the impractical. Following up their series of 100% combos with the whole cast, COMBONAUTS makes their grand return with goofy mid-combo projectile parries, unlikely anti-air scenarios, and more.

You’ll almost definitely find more optimal uses of meter then these combos, but will you find a cooler way to finish your opponent? Maybe not. This wild creativity is what COMBONAUTS specializes in, so if you like what you see, be sure to check out their channel for more great KOF content.
