Entertaining combos from a wide range of titles!

JusticeSoulTuna wasn’t the only YouTuber to send off 2017 with a multi-game combo video; Doopliss was sure to offer one as well, and the variety of titles showcased in this video is impressive in itself. Doopliss’ send-off features Street Fighter V (starring Abigail and Zeku!), Tekken 7 (with some violence provided by Paul), as well as Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite; BlazBlue: Central Fiction; The King of Fighters XIV; SoulCalibur V; JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle; Fantasy Strike, and… The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild…?

Here’s to another year of cool combos in 2018!

New year, new me: me who no longer gets hit by dubious Azrael and Tsubaki mix-ups… or something like that. You know you’ve been salty about those characters at least once. Both of them have solid options in getting past blocking, so having detailed knowledge of their attack patterns is half the battle. Warui Neko-kun offers helpful, thorough videos that show plenty of options on how to deal with Azrael and Tsubaki.

The Azrael video is a bit situational, because many of the “solutions” require a Dragon Punch; either way, the video shows common attack strings and frequently tells the exact number of frames left to input an attack. Furthermore, the video shows pretty optimized Ragna punishes, though you’ll have to find your own for your main.

Tsubaki has wider gaps if she decides to go for her overhead, so it’s pretty feasible to hit her with a counter hit for a solid 4k damage combo. The gap is only very big if 5A preceded the overhead though, so the gap will be much smaller with a 5B. It’s best to anti-air Tsubaki’s new overhead, 22B or 22D. One of the harder things to counter is stagger pressure with her stance charge, 5D.

Study the videos above to arm yourself against the two brutes, and if you’ve been getting beat by Hibiki, Warui Neko-kun has also done a tutorial showing reacting against Hibiki.

One of the foundations Pokkén Tournament DX’s Duel Phase is built on is also one of its biggest secrets: “Phase Shift points.” Getting into this game’s meta necessitates learning about what causes a Phase Shift, and since 21 Hits is named after one of those causes, they are uniquely prepared to teach this class:

Phase Shift Points, or PSP, are accumulated during the Duel Phase’s combos and pokes. Learning how to keep track — and manipulate — PSP will help you get the most out of the Duel Phase, and likely steal entire rounds off one or two resets.

It takes a special kind of scientist to play Venom, probably the most calculated character in the Guilty Gear series. This holds true in REV 2, and there’s no better way to start out the new year than with some fresh challenges for the pool-playing fighter.

Sean English takes a bit more of an unusual take on the typical combo movie. His clip, titled “Assassin’s Assimilation,” takes advantage of REV 2‘s challenge record function. In between those challenges, English peppered the video with examples of full-screen carry set-ups, okizeme, and Burst punishes. Among some difficult Bishup Runout combos, there’s a couple of off-the-wall trials with the RISK gauge cranked up to max, and so on.

Check out the combo movie below, and let us know if you have had any success with replicating these challenges!

Chun-Li was one of the most heavily-hit characters in Street Fighter V Season 2, suffering a long list of nerfs that saw all but a select few abandon the character. Those players who once played her may find reason to come back to her, if the list of changes reported at the PlayStation Experience remain intact.

Alongside her second V-Trigger — which gives her better conversions off of her pokes  — she has received several changes, including the return of instant air leg combos and the inclusion of a Crush Counter state on forward roundhouse, all of which prove to make her more viable in the coming season.
