Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite tech continues to pour out like a waterfall, so it’s in everyone’s best interests for us to break down the best of the best, and throw them into this handy roundup for you to grab tech from. There’s a lot of characters with new tech today, so be prepared to take a lot of notes.

Firstly, we have some new loops for Frank West. In these first two videos, we see zombie loops with Ultron that work in the corner and midscreen and avoid the use of the tripod.

In the third video, we swap out Ultron for Captain Marvel, but see the return of the tripod into the zombie loop mix.

Next, we have some sick space stone setups with Thanos that in a matter of two incorrect guesses could cost people a character.

Next up, we have a series of videos from Rooflemonger, who shows off the combo potential of Haggar, Morrigan, and Ultron, while also going over the basics of each character in great detail.

Next up, Xero18 shows off some more Spider-Man tech. This one deals with getting an additional OTG off of Maximum Spider, which acts as an OTG itself. By tagging in your partner and positioning them midscreen, you can OTG and extend your combo.

Next up, we have some heavily stylish and optimized combos for Jedah. These definitely show off the capabilities of the character in solo mode.

Did someone say they want more Lightning Loops? Zero decided 7 years of them wasn’t enough, and Captain Marvel agrees, as she has a solid setup for the loop handy.

Anyone that has watched Filipino Champ play is well aware of how dangerous Dormammu’s rose garden is. This move could be one of the biggest reasons he got his win at SCR, but like all great tech, we learn how to deal with it. Using invincible moves alongside pushblocks, it becomes pretty easy to punish a blocked rose garden.

To complement that, here’s a compilation of all the invincible moves in the game.

With the discovering of the Hit Stun Decay glitch, people are working night and day to optimize it. Here’s a pretty disgusting space stone loop using the HSD glitch, starring Thanos and X and directed by none other than desk.

Finally James Chen takes the time to show newcomers how to build and execute combos in this edition of Execution Corner.

Tune back in for more crazy Marvel tech. May your lab time be fruitful!

The experience of playing Tekken 7, or really any 3D fighter with large move-lists, is built around the constant discovery of different characters strengths and weaknesses. It’s impossible to know everyone’s frame data right out of the gate, so there will always be some move someone is using versus you whose frame safety is much worse then it initially seems.

But in 2017, it’s easier to move past this barrier then it has ever been before. In Scallywag 93‘s latest tutorial video, he breaks down 10 common launch-punishable tools that you need to learn to destroy on reaction. These are not gimmicky tools — everything listed here are viable weapons your opponents will be looking for ways to use against you. Being able to nullify them consistently will put you a step closer to mastering each of these match-ups, so go hit training mode and start learning!

With the recent discovery of the hit-stun decay glitch in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, players are starting to develop super long, touch-of-death combos. If you’re still learning Marvel’s systems, it can be awfully daunting to even recreate these 100+ hit sequences, let alone think of your own. To help players who may be struggling to perform these mammoth combos, Novril has created a short tutorial which should aid you on your quest.

The most important thing to do is to break one combo down into a series of small sections. Practice each section multiple times by itself so you can build up your muscle memory. Once you have mastered each part, try linking them together in the same sequence — pausing to practice transitions that you struggle with. Keep on doing this until you can do the whole combo without any mistakes. Don’t forget to do it on both sides of the screen, just to be sure!

Make sure to take breaks if you are getting frustrated — as well as to give your hands a rest from all that work. It is a long and laborious process at first, but you will get better if you practice regularly.

“Super Street Fighter Carnival 2017” is under way! SSFC is the regularly occurring tournament series of Japan’s famous Mikado Arcade. Don’t be fooled by the title- this series cherishes a variety of vintage arcade games, bringing out hype and high level play. SSFC2017 is the current tournament season, scheduled to go from Oct. 11th through Dec. 17th. Its previous season, SSFC2016, was covered here.

Three events have already completed: Fatal Fury Special, King of Fighters ’95, and World Heroes 2.

If you can read Japanese (or if you want to play everyone’s favorite game: deciphering Google translations), you can preview this seasons’ games and player scores with Mikado’s public Drive document. The next game scheduled on the 16th is SNK’s Korean-developed Fight Fever.

You can follow the action by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.

One of the most important things in Pokkén Tournament DX is picking the right support to assist you in battle. I’m not sure that Machamp needed more damage at his disposal but one of DX’s new supports, Litten, opens up some notable combo possibilities for one of Pokkén’s premier grapplers.

And it’s not just damage — when Machamp gets low on HP, Litten gets powered up with a multi-hitting, high damage explosion. If this connects, Machamp has enough to self-buff with his Bulk Up special move, and then still combo afterwards. This is really good for match-ups where Machamp may not have many safe opportunities to actually apply Bulk Up. Combine that with Litten’s counter piercing properties and decent charge time, and this could very well end up being a relevant support for the original wrestling Pokémon.
