A-cho arcade in Osaka, Japan has been known as a hotbed for retro fighting games for a long time. If there’s an arcade board for it, odds are that it will be found in this mecca for retro fighters. Street Fighter EX2 is no exception, as the game receives frequent play at the establishment.

While Fighting EX Layer has proven to be a worthy successor to this late ’90s title, watching these videos show how much the mechanics of the new title differ. While you may see some noticeable changes – -the custom combo Excel system and the lack of back rolling on knockdown — many things, including loose juggles and cancelling supers into supers, remain the same.

Anna Williams is in the running for one of the most-polarized characters in Tekken 7. This offensive-minded stance character might have gigantic frame traps and powerful, unseeable lows, but her punishment game easily ranks among the worst in the game — there’s even some slow, snake edge-style lows that she can’t launch punish, since her fastest WS launcher is i18!

That means that if you choose to play Anna, you have to approach her in a way wholly different from the rest of the cast. If you’re interested in the DLC Willaims sister and don’t know where to start, this character breakdown from That Blasted Salami should help you get started with this unique, atypical Tekken character.

Though Roy may have won a pre-release Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournament, Pro-Smash legend Mew2King sees more potential in a different Fire Emblem character: newcomer Chrom.

Roy’s recovery might be better, but Mew2King’s analysis reveals that Chrom might just be better in every other way. Combo potential, kill trades, frame advantage, speed, and more all seem, on the surface, to swing in his favor: check out Mew2King’s video above over at Most Valuable Gaming to get an in-depth breakdown on everything we know about Chrom thus far!

While the execution barrier of Arc System Works’ BlazBlue series was lowered significantly upon the release of their high-octane title BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, that doesn’t mean that the layers of depth have gone away. The tag system has certainly provided a large amount of complexity, due to the myriad ways to utilize it in battle.

Active Change has been one mechanic that has been daunting to new players of the title, with it not only being useful to add a layer of mind games to assist calls, but also to extend combos by switching characters, allowing for your team’s synergy to truly shine. This short video guide from Zankoku shows exactly how to gradually incorporate the mechanic into your gameplay.

For those who still feel like applying Active Change is daunting, try to break it down into parts. FIRST find the opportunity for the assist call, THEN look at possibilities from there. You can use it for conversions, or an additional mixup layer, or even for extra safety. pic.twitter.com/eIc2HHKSIm

Tira has often been one of the most difficult characters to master in the Soul series. With her being designed around two stances — Jolly and Gloomy — her mental instability makes her play also very unstable. This is further complicated by the fact that Tira will randomly start out in one stance, and can actually be knocked into a different stance by your opponent.

TrueUnderDawg aims to bring some stability to your Tira play with this tutorial. While starting on universal moves shared by both stances, he delves into the myriad ways to switch into a different stance, while going into stance-specific buttons and combos that make things easier to cope with while using her.

Many have been quick to assume that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is nothing more than an “expanded port” of Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U. Yes, the reused assets and similar play-styles do point to this conclusion, but enough has been found thus far to truly show the differences between the two games. What really matters now is character adjustments.

Most of the changes to characters are uncertain so far — all we have to go off of is promotional material and demo booth footage, reducing what can be found to “accidental” discoveries. The full game will release in about a month, which will open the floodgates to frame data, move properties, and visual details… but despite this, theory videos and early impressions are already surfacing the internet. Below is Mad Ice King’s analysis of Robin’s changes, based off of the content that is available so far — if you’re looking to tip the scales on December 7th, it couldn’t hurt to prepare a little bit.

With many Street Fighter players disillusioned with the direction and decisions made with Street Fighter V, the “Mysterious Mod” hack of the PC version has offered a refreshing take on what decisions could be made to make Street Fighter V a more interesting game for all players. Its fast and loose system mechanics, with varying uses for V-Meter, offer a unique blend of options, combos, and depth to the title. The upcoming update could push that even further.

Touting second critical arts for all characters, Mysterious Mod shows new utility for each character in the game. While all of the new critical arts use recycled move animations from their characters’ current arsenal, the unique use of camera angles make for some amazing-looking design ideas from the developer.

If you have missed recent videos from video game publication Giant Bomb, they have started a segment where they rank every fighting game ever created. This is based not only on aesthetics, but also off of their own understanding of the gameplay and mechanics.

Having seen the footage from AnimEVO this year, the guys take on Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S alongside Dragon Ball Z: Hyper Dimension. For the formerly-mentioned title, they place it above many titles, citing its low barrier of entry coupled with high depth, and called it an enjoyable experience with a good flow. This was enough to put it as #18 on their current list.
