Last week saw the reveal of a huge Urien bug, in which his hurtboxes are removed upon usage of his second V-Trigger. This potentially looked game-breaking, but ultimately made little impact on the first tournament since its discovery at Evo Japan — where no Urien players found themselves in top 8.
Regardless, VesperArcade has made a video detailing how the bug is reproduced, which allows the lost hurtboxes to remain missing for 40 frames after he recovers, if Urien pushes no buttons after performing a V-Trigger tackle. Here’s hoping that Capcom will fix this bug soon!
Don’t miss the grand finale to UDON’s cross-universe rumble!
At long last, UDON Entertainment’s comic crossover saga Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers has reached its conclusion! The final installment of the limited series — issue #8 — has arrived in stores today. Here’s UDON’s story synopsis:
The frighteningly furious fighting game crossover comes to its chaotic conclusion! The demonic Jedah’s master plan threatens not only the World Warriors and the Night Warriors, but the universe itself! It’s the final chapter of STREET FIGHTER VS. DARKSTALKERS!
Well, aside from the grand scope of Jedah’s threat, that doesn’t tell us very much. But these preview pages offer a better glimpse into what to expect in this final issue:
Who’s ready for more Dragon Ball FighterZ gameplay? Despite the (lovingly) sarcastic answer of “Not Namco,” DBFZ continues to dominate the minds (and social media feeds) of the FGC. As usual, the more people play the more they discover, and we have just some of those discoveries right here. Let’s jump into today’s submissions!
Leading today is jmcrofts, who covers some system mechanics not taught in DBFZ’s training mode, such as reflect properties and Level 3 DHC’s.
GLHFtv breaks down jump cancel scaling vs. 2H combo filler.
Here’s an absurdly powerful juggle loop for Golden Frieza from Victor Thammavong.
CDV|WhiteBl4ck shows off the giant damage of Goku Black.
As usual, Clayton “Final Showdown” Chapman has some flashy and powerful combos to show off. Check out the Frieza fireball loops, in particular!
Hit’s unusual moveset means he has to take some different combo routes to get decent damage. As Warui Neko-kun shows, though, damage scaling works out pretty well for Hit overall.
SupahFro64 shows off his corner combos with Cell. I kind of wish there were more characters that could whiff special moves mid-combo, purely for showoff-related purposes.

As you all may know, ARIKA broughtFighting EX Layer to Evo Japan. This build in particular featured the first publicly-playable appearance of fan-favorite Doctrine Dark in the game.
For those who weren’t able to check out the game at Evo (or those who simply want to see Doctrine Dark in action once again!), ZERP was able to capture some decent off-screen footage of the game at ARIKA’s booth at the event.
The footage features a fair bit of Doctrine Dark play, and even a mirror match.
In addition to the above Doctrine Dark footage, they’ve also shared this footage of Shirase and Allen Snyder.
Fighting EX Layer is set to launch on PlayStation 4 sometime later this year.
SRK’s Electric Wind God Vids is back with another episode! We received a request to create a tutorial for performing the Electric Wind God Fist technique. Considering the name of our series, it’s a little silly we didn’t do this sooner, huh?
This is one of our most straightforward videos, focusing little on theory and heavily on execution. Ultimately, that’s all there is to the EWGF: refinement through practice!

With Capcom Pro Tour and Tekken World Tour’s announcements looming on the horizon, we are still in the free agency period where teams are most apt to snatch up the best players on the market to represent them on the tournament circuit. Team UYU has already made some signings in Tekken and Street Fighter, and hasn’t stopped doing so yet.
Just announced was the signing of Brian “Brian_F” Foster to their growing roster. The Street Fighter V Balrog main joins Tekken players Princess Ling, Fergus, and Jeondding, anime player Beautifuldude, as well as fellow Street Fighter players NL and Kami on the team to start the season. Much like NL, he was always on the verge of qualifying for Capcom Cup 2017, finishing in 39th place on the leaderboard, and also finishing in 5th at the North American Regional Finals and 3rd in the Last Chance Qualifier.
So it's official, I'll be representing @UYU_GG in our goal to grow the FGC and give the people what they need: more fundamentals.
Thanks for all the overwhelming support everyone, it means so much to me.
If you thought tech was frozen in Mortal Kombat XL, think again. The game may have taken a back seat to Injustice 2 since its release, but there is still a community surrounding the title that still have passion for it, and combo videos and tech continue to surface.
This particular combo video features Sub-Zero in all three variations, showing off corner carries and freeze combos for days. We also see some amazing corner-only combos, with great juggles into grabs.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Ike is definitely one of those characters that can be described as a sleeping giant. He’s a slow-moving powerhouse in a game that prioritizes speed and movement — but with the right timing, a good effort and a little bit of “ETHER!” you could make up for what he lacks in agility with sheer might.
Dragon Smash has created a highlight reel pinning down 10 moments where Ike players went absolutely savage. Most of these plays come from top player Ryo, who is definitely someone you want to study if you’re interested in maining an Ike that is tip-top.
Check out Dragon Smash’s “Top 10 Brutal Ike Plays” below, and for the rundown on another one of Smash 4’s sleeping giants, check out Izaw’s Art of Mewtwo video.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is one of the most successful launches of a fighting game — ever. With a large influx of players coming in off the popularity of the anime, people who are becoming serious about the game — but may have never played a fighting game seriously before — may be looking into which controller is best for the game.
As Twin Galaxies states, and is often stated by the fighting game community, controller usage is completely subjective and your performance on various devices may vary. However, they break down multiple controller options — including joysticks, controllers, keyboard, and the Hit Box — in a way that is simple to understand for players new to the genre.
Enchantress has been out for only a short time in Injustice 2, and we’re already seeing a great deal of content for her. For people who are looking to pick her up, there is a growing treasure trove of information at your disposal.
This combo video goes from practical to impractical, as you learn exactly what Enchantress has to offer. Starting with meterless, you then move into what you can do with her various meter burns. While damage is not displayed, the focus of this video is instead seeing exactly what’s going on during the combos.
