Pac-Man Pummels Opponents in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Combo Video

When it comes to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U combo reels, some characters are markedly more exciting to watch than others thanks to the predictable nature of many cast members. A Bayonetta combo video, for example, will likely include the maligned character carrying helpless opponents into the top blast zone as soon as a round begins, or nailing someone with a fully-charged smash attack after luring them into a Witch Time hit. Captain Falcon will likely land several sweet spot knees, Mario will probably score some forward air spikes…the list goes on.

But some characters have such unusual movesets that anything can happen in a video highlighting them. One character who fits firmly into this category is Pac-Man. Thanks to his access to an array of throwable items each with their own individual properties, his fire hydrant, and even his more mundane moves, Pac-Man leads a life free from predictability.

In a new video from Beefy Smash Doods, JoeCreak takes control of the Namco superstar and dishes out some truly chaotic punishment to all who stand against him. If you like your Smash combos to revolve heavily around improvisation–and pixelated fruit–you’ll not want to miss this video.

Arbiter Now Available for Individual Purchase in Killer Instinct

One of the new faces to join the Killer Instinct cast with the release of Season 3 was Arbiter. This gun-toting, plasma grenade chucking Halo representative has been available for purchase as part of the various DLC bundles tied to the game’s third season, but prior to today, players could not choose to only add Arbiter to their Killer Instinct rosters through an individual purchase.

If you’re not satisfied with the rest of the Season 3 offerings, or just have a hankering to slash some cybernetic dinosaurs and ice-slinging alien life forms with an energy sword, you can now do so without having to commit to a larger purchase.

As a change from the ordinary, Arbiter comes bundled with his retro outfit, all its applicable accessories, as well as his premium accessory set. This does mean that his price is a bit higher than individual characters often are, and he’ll set you back $9.99.

“Kneel to Your [Decidedly Blurry] God,” Gargos Teaser Images Offer In-Game Look at Upcoming Killer Instinct Character

We got our first look at Killer Instinct’s Gargos as part of the Season 3 launch trailer, but the folks behind the game decided to share a couple screenshots of the upcoming character on their Twitter feed earlier today.

Click to view slideshow.

Granted, these aren’t the best images we could ask for, but not even the blurriest of stills could hide Gargos’ massive wings, horns and upper body brimming with coiled muscle. While the first shot contains a more general look at the character, the second gives us an idea of how large Gargos will be when compared to the rest of the cast. Based on the Tusk he’s holding high off the ground, we can see that he’ll have no trouble towering over most of the roster.

We can expect to see a proper Gargos teaser trailer as early as next week. While we don’t yet have an official launch date, we do know Gargos will be joining the Killer Instinct Season 3 cast before May comes to a close.
