Soon it will be a month since the announcement of the SoCal Smash League, and so far it looks like the community-lead tournament series is off to a good start. Judging by the highlight videos alone, the league is bringing out worthy Smash competitors from all corners of the SoCal scene.

Speaking of highlights, 2GGaming has got a fresh batch from Week 3 of the aforementioned leagues Super Smash Bros. for Wii U weeklies. Each week of highlights brings in a variety of unique main characters. While you get awesome highlights from characters using mainstays such as Fox, Peach and Sheikh, this week’s montage also includes clutch victories from the likes of Lemmy Koopa, Ryu, and even a gnarly Pac-Man.

Check out SoCal Smash League’s Season 1, Week 3 highlights below — and find out how you can get involved in the weeklies here.

January 30th is just around the corner, which means that fans will be able to enjoy the full console version of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT very soon.  Continuing to help prepare those anxious for this game’s release, Maximilian has created yet another character breakdown, this time focusing on the highly-popular (and also highly-unpopular!) Squall Leonheart.

If  you are among those who claim Final Fantasy VIII as their favorite game of the franchise, there is a good chance that the gunblade-wielder will be the leader of your three-man team. If that is the case for you, there’s quite a bit you need to know before you go off hacking and blasting on the battlefield, especially if you want to seize victory (and impress Rinoa). Max has got you potential Squall mains covered in his breakdown video, which you can check out below. (If you’re more of a Final Fantasy VII fan with a dark side and a fondness for very long swords, be sure to check out his Sephiroth breakdown as well.)

While Raiden’s appearance in Injustice 2 may have been shocking to some, many Mortal Kombat fans were ecstatic to see the God of Lighting join the fray of the DC deities. As the distance from his October 17th 2017 release date increases and he begins to enter the realm of tournament viability, there will sure to be an increasing amount of Raiden mains hunting for new tech .

Fulfilling that demand for said new tech is PND Mustard, who’s recently created a guide that includes a few practical  max damage combos for Raiden’s Injustice 2 appearance. It should be notice that these combos are focused on activating High Voltage, Raiden’s Trait, and making most out of  the enhancements that come with it.

Check out Mustard’s guide to Raiden’s High Voltage combos below, and for an even deeper understanding of his Injustice 2 transition, check out MK_REO’s breakdown.

HurtboxTV’s new combo breakdown puts an emphasis on speed and weight, as they show you how to pull off a few core strings for Tekken 7‘s Bob. The big-body brawler made his first appearance in Tekken 6, and his finesse as a fighter — and impeccable fashion sense — have made him a player favorite ever since.

Much like his superior physique, Bob’s movelist is pretty massive in comparison to many members of Tekken 7‘s roster. Though he has many moves that make for great pressure and mix-up options, it can be difficult to narrow down exactly which moves to put together for practical combos with optimal damage.

Thankfully for ambitious Bob mains, HurtboxTV’s got you covered in the combo breakdown below. (And if Bob’s not your cup of tea, be sure to check out their other Tekken 7 combo breakdown videos.)
