While customizable arcade stick options have been available for a long time in the form of custom builders, ready-made DIY stick cases have become increasingly prevalent on the market, as of late. We recently showcased the FightstickAsia EXC Samurai case review that Jonyfraze had put together, which is currently on offer at Paradise Arcade Shop. Another option has entered the ring — as he now has put up a review for Marvelous Customs’ Average Joe DIY stick.

While you can purchase the stick fully assembled and populated with parts in their CEO product, going the DIY route allows you to mix and match your parts to your preference. In this video, Jonyfraze goes over the features of this acrylic case and how to assemble it. He also notes that despite being acrylic, the case has a good amount of weight to it, allow it to sit firmly in your lap.

In Tekken 7 tournament play, Rage Drives tend to fall into one of two categories: either as a neutral tool or as a combo extender. This isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but you’re a lot more likely to see Rage Drives used in the way they are clearly built for. Clear examples of this are Heihachi’s powerful combo-filling stomp, or Xiaoyu’s mix-up low combo starter.

Lars’s Rage Drive sits at an odd place, then. It can only be done from “Silent Entry” stance, so it doesn’t quite have the explosiveness of, say, Paul’s Rage Drive Death Fist. But it also doesn’t wildly increase the combo damage output on Lars’s Juggles, only netting him another 5% or so typically.

This is where JusticeSoulTuna‘s video comes in: here, he examines the strength not of Lars’s damage output from Rage Drive, but the rushdown setups afterwards. On block, Rage Drive puts Lars into his “Dynamic Entry” stance and leaves him at +7 on block — enough to counter-hit freely with DE 2. It also gives him an uninterruptible throw attempt from DE stance, if you think the opponent’s throw-breaking is less than stellar. If the opponent gets hit by DE 2 on normal hit instead of counter-hit, you also have another counter-hit setup for B+4: an underrated safe, high-damage on counter-hit, unparryable mid.

It was last at Evo 2017 that we had a major announcement from Sector-K Games on their sci-fi indie fighter Punch Planet. In the interim, the development team has been quietly toiling away at their engine, improving game speed and polishing up animations.

They’ve recently released a in-development teaser for the game, showing the announced cast’s combos and mixup potential. Based on this footage, we can see that the game seems to be moving in a more reset-heavy direction. If you love or hate this design decision, you can let Sector-K Games know directly: they stream development of the game live on their Twitch channel, and are always looking for player feedback.

Punch Planet is in development for Steam by Sector-K Games, and you can find more information about the battle system and story on their official website.

It wasn’t that long ago that Bandai Namco surprised us with the new DLC announcements of Phantom Gundam and Nightingale for their new arena fighter, Gundam Versus. On Sept 26th, you can add Gundam Age’s pilot Flit Asuno to that DLC list, with his Gundam AGE-1 suit.

This DLC also comes with a host of new strikers: RGE-B790 Genoace, RGE-B790CW Genoace Custom, WMS-GEX G-Exes, CMS-328 Desperado, and AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1.

While none of the recently-announced DLC has English trailers or confirmed release dates outside of japan, the timing of this batch is close to the North American and European launch date of September 29th.

Even with the number of tournaments for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite taking place this past weekend, that hasn’t stopped players from pumping out content for the game. For this Monday’s round up of MvC:I videos, the focus is purely on combos, with a number of interesting videos dedicated to them.

That said, we do have a couple of tutorial videos here as well. However, they’re both also dedicated to combos! First up, TrueUnderDawg has put out a video guide for any prospective Captain Marvel players, looking to figure out how to combo with her.

Following up on that, for characters that use flight cancels, Meoang has put up a guide.

Meanwhile, for those who caught some of the Arthur action in tournaments this past weekend (including SoCal Regionals’s grand finals), Mikeydactyl has shared a video demonstrating a combo for the Ghouls and Ghosts lead that uses his gold armor super.

Mr. Wright, on the other hand, shows off some combos for the team of X and Jedah.

MFreshness on the other hand focuses solely on Gamora, and some of the crazy combos that she can do.

Finally, legendary combo video creator FINAL SHOWDOWN has put up three videos. The first two are dedicated to the game’s “average man” Ryu. Showcasing some cool combos, including a corner loop with his hurricane kick.

He follows that up with another combo video, this time showing off some interesting combos for Strider Hiryu.

Both the Ryu and Strider Hiryu combo videos are labeled as “part 1,” so expect more content from FINAL SHOWDOWN in the future.
