In Street Fighter V Season 3, Falke gives the first impression of a character with a lot of powerful tools at her disposal — but her potential to be a worthy wielder of Psycho Power has yet to be unleashed at this early stage since her release. Here to help us explore the possibilities is NurseLee, whose latest Street Fighter V tutorial focuses on various setup options that are available following Falke’s EX Katapult.

EX Katapult launches the opponent a fair distance into the air, giving Falke the opportunity to do two complete forward dashes, achieve a spacing advantage and still have a window to pull of a damaging follow-up attack. Check it out as NurseLee breaks down some of the cards you have to play once you’ve closed the gap and swooped in for the kill.

Though Krillin is notorious for dying at the hands of evil alien overlords, his appearance in Dragon Ball FighterZ reminds us that he is one of the series’ strongest humans and one of earth’s most formidable fighters. Showing us just what the Destructo Disc thrower is made of is YouTuber rooflemonger, who’s got a full list of tips and tricks for Dragon Ball FighterZ heads who have a Krillin in their lineup.

rooflemonger describes Krillin as a mix-up monster, and that term is about as accurate as it gets. He’s got so many options that you can use to fake out, bait and trap any opponent while maintaining a steady amount of confusion and pressure.

Starting with the basics and building up to his incredible mix-up potential, the instructive video is about 30 minutes long and includes time marks that indicate the different topics explored. Check it out below:

Those who have been users of Twitch since its early days as an up-and-coming streaming platform are sure to recognize the emote of a smug, grayscale face that is known and beloved by many as Kappa. Over time, this emote, used to denote trolling or sarcastic banter, has transcended the world of FGC humor and branched out into the broader, bewildering world of internet meme culture.

Though Kappa has become the most-used emote in Twitch history and has arguably become the universal symbol for sarcasm, even its most loyal users may be unfamiliar with its origins. Whether you are among those who wonder from where Kappa came, or even what it means, theScore esports have you covered in their latest video. They take you down the Kappa hole to the very beginning of The King of Sarcasm’s reign — and even employ the help of a professor of semiotics (the study of signs and symbols).

All Kappas aside, the video is actually quite informative and is just one example of the impact that modern gaming has had on todays’ popular culture. Check out theScore’s What is Kappa? history lesson below and — if you can help it — try to keep a straight face.

Benimaru Nikaido is a common pick among top players in The King of Fighters XIV, and it’s not just for his unrivaled handsomeness or impeccable fashion sense. If you’re looking to achieve high damage and get the corner advantage as quickly as possible, Benimaru is definitely your man, and, of course, it doesn’t hurt to look incredibly stylish while doing so.

The trick with Benimaru is keeping your opponents at close range, since most of his moves require close-quarter contact — but also have impressive wall carry. Plus, his advanced cancel links, though highly damaging, require even more meticulous timing than the average SNK character’s.

Persona’s video demonstrates that if you can make the most of the corner advantage that you wiill most likely have while maining Benimaru, the results are as fabulous as the man himself. You can check it out below, and for more from Persona Entertainment, have a look at his combo video for the hard-hitting dragon gal Mui Mui.

A new Super Smash Bros. game with the entire series’ known roster is a reason for any Smash fan to rejoice, but rather than the size of the character selection, competitive Smashers are likely to be more concerned with the new mechanics that will effect the way the beloved platform brawler will now be played at the higher levels.

YouTube channel Dragon Smash has done a pretty sweet job at breaking down the new mechanics from various bits of what footage we have of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so far. Though the changes don’t seem to be anything too drastic, there is just enough nuance in the changes shown to make one interested — and excited — for the new strategies that will surely come with this new game.

Mui Mui may seem like the type of kawaii fighting character that you pick up just for kicks, but a fighter with a giant dragon in their super attack animation is probably someone you shouldn’t take too lightly. Originally appearing in one of SNK’s pachislot games called Dragon Gal, Mui Mui’s hard-hitting Dragon-Style kung-fu has made her a popular newcomer in The King of Fighters XIV.

Persona Entertainment’s latest combo video demonstrates a few stylish ways that you can put Mui Mui’s superhuman Dragon abilities to stylish use. Check it out below — and be on the lookout for more news of Mui Mui’s upcoming appearance in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy.
