As previously shown, Arc System Works is packing each of the characters in Dragon Ball FighterZ with a ton of references to the original source material. We’ve already shared videos detailing the references for Gohan and Vegeta, as well as Majin Buu and Cell. Now it’s time for newly-revealed characters Piccolo and Krillin to take to the spotlight.

Being a character that’s been around since the the earliest days of the original manga, Krillin’s references cover a lot of ground. This even includes obscure panels and scenes from his earliest appearances as a kid training alongside Goku. Piccolo’s, on the other hand, are easier to identify, since majority of his appearances are from the “Z” portion of Dragon Ball. Additionally, both also have what seem to be references to certain moves they had in the earlier Dragon Ball Z fighting games on 16-bit consoles.

Master Raven is one of the more unorthodox characters in Tekken 7. She lacks a standard hopkick, has poor punishment options, and relies heavily on advanced stance and crouch dash use. None of this means she’s a bad character (far from it!) but it does mean she has a learning curve that could prove daunting to new players.

That’s why a guide like sneaky coyote’s is so useful. More then just frame data, this guide gives a detailed breakdown of every move, its risk, and its usefulness. Since a large chunk of learning a character is just breaking down a move-set, this guide is a great starting point for Apprentice Ravens.

If you’ve watched top-level tournament play for almost any fighting game — especially Tekken — you’ll have heard the term ‘”okizeme.” Often shortened to just “oki,” it is the art of pressuring your opponent’s wake-up to force them into an unfavorable position. In order to teach newer players what to do following a knockdown, as well as how to defend against certain forms of oki, rooflemonger has created an okizeme crash course for Street Fighter V.

Starting with a basic explanation of okizeme, rooflemonger goes onto explain how meaty attacks works, common mixups following a knockdown, how to perform a throw loop, and a quick primer on frame killing. It’s just over 20 minutes of useful information, so it helps to have Street Fighter V open at the same time to test out the things rooflemonger mentions. While this guide won’t turn you into an instant oki master, it should prepare you for the next time you’re knocked down in the corner.

With all the frenetic action, and screen-filling fireball and beam attacks in the new gameplay videos, it can be hard to pin down exactly what the special moves of characters are in Dragon Ball FighterZ. This can be somewhat confusing for players looking to learn more about the newly-revealed characters in the game.

For those who curious to learn about what the special moves of new characters Piccolo, Krillin, Trunks, Android 16, and Android 18 actually are in Dragon Ball FighterZ, this video from Super Best Friends Play’s Woolie is right up your alley. He shows the inputs of the moves, while also demonstrating them a few times, showing them in slow motion, and even explaining some of their properties. This reveals some things not immediately apparent from just watching videos — such as one of Android 18’s “Android 17 assist” moves acting as a counter only for assists, as well as her level 3 super changing when Krillin is on her team.
