Version 2.01 for King of Fighters XIV impacted some characters more heavily then others. For Luong, whose arsenal is centered around long range poking and pressure, her changes were mostly quality of life buffs, such as hitbox adjustments and her Close HK being given the low property it looks like it should have.

Still, the execution shown off in Y. Xiao’s latest video is impressive. Close to the ground tiger knee inputs are used for air QCB+K’s to extend damage and setup up for 50/50 resets in the corner. The biggest point in her favor though is the system wide health adjustment: now that some characters have 900 health, Luong has guaranteed kill combos various members of the cast.

You may have your combos down for your character, but how good is your stage awareness? As BoxeR-King demonstrates in this excellent tech video, your understanding of the stage layout could make all the difference in your Tekken 7 games.

King players have obvious reasons to watch this. Anyone, however, should be able to learn about how to take advantage of breakable walls, octagon stages, and other nuances in stage awareness. In the end, this is not about pre-canned strings,but about knowing how to adapt your combos on the fly to your positioning.

With the Wonder Woman movie being in cinemas and Injustice 2 having a special event dedicated to the Amazonian princess, now is the time to start learning how to play the daughter of the gods. Luckily, Injustice 2 tutorial maker rooflemonger is on the case, creating two videos which go over basic combos with Wonder Woman, along with some general tips and tricks.

Wonder Woman excels at frustrating opponents with her Lasso attacks, before closing in to do damage with her sword strikes and shield bashes. Her Lasso Grab is a great ender, while her EX Shield Toss is perfect for extending combos. Do note that it does take some practice to nail the timing following an EX Shield Toss, so make sure to head into the lab to learn the window.

If you’re one of the several people who are spending the weekend grinding out Tekken 7, you may want to take a break from the Training Room to earn some additional Fight Money. With there being hundreds of customization items to unlock, you may be stuck in the Treasure Battle mode for a long time to find that perfect hat or set of glasses for your character.

To speed up the unlock process, noted tutorial maker novriltataki has created a short video, showing how players can easily grind out items and Fight Money in Tekken 7’s Treasure Battle. This strategy does require a controller with a turbo button, but most arcade sticks come with one so you should be fine. You simply pick Katarina, assign Right Kick to the button used to confirm menu selection and make the turbo button spam Katarina’s 44444 combo.

Just leave the bot running for a few hours and you should come back to a fat stack of Fight Money and customisation options. It does take the fun out of playing through Treasure Battles yourself, but it is the price you pay if you want to turn Yoshimitsu into a sword-wielding hammerhead shark.
