Evolution 2015 included a massive lineup of competitive fighting titles, and gave every subdivision of this genre that we love at least some degree of recognition as part of the main event. As massive as that lineup may have been, it’s impossible to give every popular game its time to shine. Luckily, dedicated fans always show devotion to their titles of choice by running side tournaments if their game doesn’t make the cut.

This year, two of the games featured in this way were Blazblue: Chronophantasma EXTEND and Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late. Below, we’ve embedded four videos for a total of roughly ten hours of matches in these titles. Give them a watch if you missed out on AnimEvo’s live streams during the busy weekend.

Vega’s Street Fighter V inclusion may have only been revealed two short days ago, but we’ve already learned a good deal about what the high flying Spaniard will be bringing to the fight. Thanks to Gamescom 2015, fans have been able to wield the claw themselves to get a feel for the fighter’s current motion-based controls.

Below, we’ve included three match videos, two of which feature Vega bouncing off walls like we’re used to seeing, and one featuring another recent roster addition: Necalli. Footage surrounding this feral fighter has itself been limited, so be sure to check out that match as well. Initial viewings show proof that Necalli’s hair looks fantastic at all times, but never quite so fantastic as when it catches the air just right when he goes in for a dive kick.

Do note that these matches are far from tournament level, but since this is such an early look at these two characters, there’s plenty to glean from the footage. This is likely not the only batch of matches that we’ll be seeing from Gamescom 2015, so be sure to stay tuned for more.

Like pretty much every game in our scene, learning to play characters in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U competitively isn’t as simple as it seems. This is why it’s quite helpful when players put out guides that completely break down characters and open the door for people to use them in high-level play.

For anyone looking to pick up Yoshi in the latest Smash title, DirectOnFire recently put out a brand new video that should help folks get on the floor with the green dinosaur. This comprehensive guide goes over all of his normal and special moves, including proper use of his vital egg throw. Additionally, it also covers some more advanced concepts, such as his movement, options for edge guarding, kill setups, and more.

Olympic Gaming is back with another weekly helping of high-level Ultra Street Fighter play. This week’s player spotlight shines on Yoro, who levels opponents with Adon’s mastery of Muay Thai.

As always, competition is tough, featuring matches against Bonchan’s signature Sagat and Zv|Kazunoko’s Seth, just to name a couple. If you stick around until the end, you’ll see some live tournament footage as well, much like what we saw in RemyBleu’s video last week.
