The more characters are added to Guilty Gear Xrd, the more time you need to spend in the lab. Fear not, though–especially if you’re a Leo player. Sharizord worked on an extensive compilation that shows unsafe moves from the entire cast, and how to punish them. The playlist below includes extra videos that cover specific REV 2 changes, so skip one video to see the guide for the latest version.

At the very end, there’s punishing Baiken and Answer, the two REV 2 newcomers. What’s particularly valuable about this video guide, however, is how applicable it is to every character, even if you don’t play Leo specifically.

Another important video to highlight are some practical option selects. Sharizord displays how to more easily catch backdashes from certain cast members with a specific setup. There’s also a way to use the guard point on his normals to option-select-parry a Burst. They show some additional measures on how to do a stylish Burst counter from the back turned stance as well.

Sharizord also recently made a quick tutorial to improve your Leo Whitefang. However, if you’re looking to read up a little on everything Leo does and his match-ups, there’s a countering Leo guide as well, recently updated.

The first week of Injustice 2 is drawing to a close. There’s been great tech, combos, salt, and triumphs. Judging by the influx of videos still pouring out of the NRS community, this doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. Here’s what we’ve got for today!

Famed NRS player and commentator Mustard has some concept combos to ensure Scarecrow’s Traumatize is always ready to terrify.

ETCChile has a sick stage interaction loop combo with Batman; it’s a meter-heavy but flashy way to steal that last 50% from an opponent.

Mad Ice King‘s slick combo video shows off the high damage potential of Green Arrow, both off jump-ins and some of his sneakier overheads.

CrossUPDP takes you from the meterless basics of Darkseid all the way to some big damage super confirms.

Skullgirls is a game that’s undergone many changes since it first released 5 years ago, both in its community and in the game itself. Through all of those changes, the game’s managed to maintain the same sense of freedom that it started with; while those ridiculous 30 second combos don’t exist anymore, the open-ended nature of combos is very much alive.

Skullgirls player duckator, noted for winning both of the 2012 and 2013 Evo side tournaments for the game, recently constructed an amazing CMV featuring Filia. This video focuses on landing outrageous confirms, both alone and with assistance. While most of these are pretty impractical in real matches, this is definitely worth a watch.

On May 19th, 2016, M2 Co. LTD and UNKNOWN GAMES released their only fighting game to date on the Steam platform. To celebrate the release of the grounded 2D fighter Koihime Enbu, YouTuber hfblade put together some slick combo videos for the Guandao wielder Kan’u and Bident user Chō’un.

Both videos are an impressive display of the counter hit crumples, wall bounces, and ground loops this combo system has to offer…

… but his Chō’un combo video really pushes the mid-combo cross-ups to the limit, a flashy byproduct of this game’s loose juggle system.

hfblade makes a lot of combo videos for various anime fighters, Tekken, and more–so be sure to check out their channel!

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3’s TAC infinite’s continue to be the gifts that keep on giving. This new TAC infinite for Morrigan, however, is a bit unique for one reason: it involves a Hyper Combo.

Michael “Chamakito” Benitez has discovered that Morrigan can perform a Team Aerial Combo infinite in the corner that involves her combo-ing back into her Finishing Shower hyper combo. While this technically means that the combo isn’t a true infinite (she can’t continue once she’s out of meter), the video below demonstrates that she only really needs to use 2 bars to effectively kill most characters.

One of Guile’s most significant changes in Street Fighter V‘s second season was his V-Trigger going from 3 to 2 bars, as well as timer consumption alterations for his Sonic Break–drastically altering the Air Slasher’s Sonic Boom loops, and making them shorter overall.

For those looking to master the new variant–which players like Team Liquid’s NuckleDu and Twitch.Hx.CYG BST|Daigo Umehara are currently using in tournaments–VesperArcade has you covered with a new updated guide that breaks the new loop down into three phases, which can also be altered based on whether or not you have Critical Art available. Keep in mind this tech will still work after the new balance update arrives with Ed, at some point in the future. You can see the full guide below, to get you on the path to chucking American plasma like a pro.
