BlazBlue: Central Fiction is a bit of a daunting game to pick up. It not only has large character cast, but there’s plenty of game mechanics that have been tacked on over the years. While the title does feature a robust tutorial — with hints for specific characters — sometimes it’s better to have someone talk to you through it, or you want to learn on the go. YouTuber Koefficient created a thorough video that unravels the Wheel of Time.

He starts out by explaining the gauges around the screen, particularly delving into the Burst Gauge, which is shared with the Overdrive mechanic. Related to it are Active Flow and Exceed Accel, which are an empowered state and a special move from Overdrive, respectively. After that, Koefficient explains Barrier and Crush Trigger, then goes into more basic mechanics, like throws and throw teching.

Have a friend who keeps getting Purple Thrown, or someone who’s been looking at BlazBlue, but not fully understanding it? The video might be just for them. If you’re looking for guides specifically for characters, look into videos from Level 482 Productions.

While there are many options when getting up off the ground in Tekken 7, in most cases a tech roll is one of the safer options you can employ. There are ways for the opponent to punish tech rolls, of course, and few are as painful (or as gimmicky) as getting hit by an unblockable.

And if you find yourself matched up against Tekken 7′s King, staying on the ground to avoid the unblockable sets yourself up for one of his many ground grabs. All of this is demonstrated (from ranked matches, no less) in LEGION TEKKEN‘s latest video.

There’s also some bonus wall combo content showing the hilarious damage output of King’s parry in a very specific, wholly unrealistic situation.

Continuing his series of Dragon Ball FighterZ character breakdowns, Maximilian moves on to the most iconic and influential antagonist of the entire Dragon Ball franchise, Frieza, who seems to serve as the pure zoner of the revealed cast.

After noting that he possesses several multi-hitting normals — which allow him to create long pressure strings in conjunction with Assists — Max dives into the tyrant’s specials, which allow him to really shine from full-screen, as well as what he calls, “some of the most interesting super combos in the game,” which involve multiple Level 3s.

Frieza has the only true transformation in the game, as Golden Frieza is a Level 3 Install that increases his speed, in addition to a damage boost. Once the timer runs out, you can hold down certain buttons to summon Sorbet to a fire a laser from his ring for an extra bar.
