There’s something iconic about Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-‘s I-No. The sultry witch with a mean guitar is perhaps the most literal reference to the game’s rock ‘n’ roll themes. Whether it’s her long-ranged notes or Chemical Love, I-No finds a quick way to close in on the opponent and start playing whatever game she wants.

Waffle is here with a helpful video focusing on a specific type of mix-up she has: a corner cross-up. After a knockdown, she can relatively easily get behind the opponent to surprise them. Waffle shows a variety of combos that can lead up to that. As the video goes on, they start to include more advanced I-no tech, such as Faultless Defense Cancelling to cross-up and a fake cross-up with Chemical Love on okizeme.

“The point I was trying to make is that you can get it from many different setups and angles, thanks to how free-flowing Guilty Gear’s combo system is,” Waffle told SRK. “I managed to get the setup from pretty much every I-No tool.”

Waffle posted a couple of helpful notes in the YouTube description: “If you’re lost as to what is happening… In Guilty Gear, you cannot cross people up in the corner. However, if you end your combos with an S dive low enough to the floor, they bounce off and cannot recover in time to tech and move a pixel away from the wall giving you enough space to squeeze in between and get a meaty cross-up.”

If you have any I-No questions, ask them here or in the I-No discord where I or other I-Nos will be more than willing to help.

I have a bunch of tech in a .gif format in a jumbled list atm, if you want to check that out.

There’s YouTube versions of that in a playlist, although it’s missing a few of them.

Over the weekend, a tournament in Japan concluded after a two-month series of qualifiers. Braver’s Revel 2017 found competition across Japanese regions to bring them all together to a national stage. As the bouts are over, we have footage of matches leading up to the top 8 as well as Grand Finals, for those who missed it live.

First up, here’s a series of matches before top 8:

Next up, here are the final parts of the event:

It’s definitely worth it to see the hype conclusion to this fighting series in BlazBlue: Central Fiction. For a breakdown on who was qualifying, refer to our previous Braver’s Revel post.

While single-character combo videos are certainly the more traditional type, many creators like to show-off their mastery of multiple cast members. Meru does just that, unifying members of BlazBlue: Central Fiction with eerily thematic combos.

Strike=The=Bloodedge manages to make nearly every character in it look like Bang. As they dance around the screen in heavy-movement choreographies, they follow the training dummies in dizzying patterns. It’s good to see cast newcomers Mai and Susanoo show off what they got, as they are the newest characters in the game. We also see some wild patterns from Naoto, Es, Hibiki, and Ragna the Bloodedge.

This combo video definitely emphasizes flair over practicality, but it’s definitely worth watching, even if just for inspiration. For some character-specific ones, view this Jin Kisaragi BBCF combo video and Es combo movie.

“Enter the Tekken tournament, a brutal competition between the world’s best fighters, grapplers, robots… and BEARS.”

Dubbing the Tekken series the “world’s most violent game of hacky sack,” the Bandai Namco series gets an Honest Trailer from Smosh Games. While it’s a satirical, humorous take that tackles the franchise from its roots up, it’s surprisingly accurate. They don’t leave out any of the ridiculous aspects of the series.

It’s nice to see another fighting game getting this treatment, as they usually do this for only the highest-profile games. Two years ago, they also did a Street Fighter Honest Trailer.

Tekken 7 is on track to release on June 2nd. We also have some confirmation of post-release content for Tekken 7.

Since Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe released for the western audiences on Steam and PlayStation 4, there’s never a better time to pick up a new character. One of the wackier characters is in the cast is Cait & Sith, two siblings who creatively string their attacks together. With moves like “Suicide Little Sister Set,” how could one overlook them?

According to Crimefighter, who compiled several video tutorials for the character, Cait & Sith is vastly underplayed. Here’s a practical combo primer to get started. The YouTube description includes a Wiki link for transcription of the moves:

Here, Crimefighter goes through explaining an unblockable safe jump with the character:

There’s also a video explaining a tech that works against rolls.

Be sure to follow Crimefighter’s YouTube channel for more videos and ask him questions on Twitter if you’re looking to get into the game.
