Street Fighter V is still going strong after Evo, especially with Juri just being recently released. Through all the hype of shiny new characters, dedicated Laura players are still out there–despite being considered low tier, Laura has a lot of tricky setups that she can perform once she lands the hit.

YouTuber Paulo Junior took the time to show off some of the Brazillian grappler’s meaner mix-ups. She has cross-unders, pre-block traps, crossovers, meaty mixups, and more.

It’s tough to find any high-quality footage of Pokkén Tournament’s newly added Darkrai. Not just because the its arcade-only; the pitch-black Pokémon seems, on the surface… complicated. He comes packed with his own character-specific mode (Dark Void!), and he has an intricate set of delayed projectiles; he’s a low-health, option-heavy glass cannon.

It would take a dedicated player to churn out a winning strategy for him this quickly, less then a month after his arcade release. Of course, who else but Potetin would be the first to give his opponents nightmares? This is the same player that played the most characters in top 8 at Evo 2016 of any game, after all!

These videos were shared with us thanks to twitter user Monkey_Engine. There are three matches currently on the account, including one with the legendary Gengar player Sasahune.

There’s great zoning and decision-making, showing off Darkrai’s out-of-the-box strengths well. It’s a pretty amazing sight to see a Suicune player get frustrated and try to go in during Field Phase.

The wait for a console release date for Darkrai (and possibly others) seems to just get longer.

To compliment their Super Smash Bros. Melee recaps hosted by their resident analyst and Ice Climbers main, PG|Wobbles, Panda Global has kicked off an equivalent series for Smash 4, where players come on to walk through the main events of big tournaments. As their pilot episode, Panda Global has drafted in barrel technician MVD to recap the top 32 of this year’s Evo.

The presentation of this series is a cut above the Melee pilot, complete with short clips from select games and full screen graphics showing each individual player, their character, and who they lost to during top 32. Every player gets their moment of analysis, which is a welcome touch–as most recaps tend to solely focus on the top 8, as that is where most of the excitement takes place.

A potential criticism of this pilot is that PG|MVD sounds like he’s just reading off a script, which makes him seem strangely distant from the information being presented–this man is incredibly knowledgeable about the game already, and had firsthand insight of the tournament. Make sure to leave your own thoughts and constructive criticism in the comment of the video, to help improve the series.

Using jabs on wake-up in Street Fighter V can be a fairly effective way of keeping an opponent in check; they can easily slow down the offense of a player that isn’t on the lookout for them.

For those interested in learning how to punish them properly, KikoMasterRD has put together a series of videos focusing on meaty setups to effectively punish those pesky wake-up jabs with Chun-Li, Juri, and Guile.
