Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2‘s Raven is a solid pressure-oriented character with an interesting stance, versatile toolkit, and amazing setplay. He’s an excellent character for those that want to keep busy and control the pace of a match.

Raven’s damage output is on the lower end of the spectrum without his unique mechanic, Excitement, being built up along the way. Learning to build your excitement mid combo and making every hit count is vital to Raven’s success — so check out Sea Leaf Dojo‘s practical combo video above and start taking notes!

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition‘s combo-heavy shoto, Ken Masters, can convert almost of of any situation. And if there’s a situation that can be capitalized on, you can rest assured that Ken-fiend World Warrior FGC has worked to optimize it.

Such is the case with his work in this video, which focuses on the untapped potential of Ken’s MK Tatsu in V-Trigger I. With enough advantage to link big off of it, combined with its unique jump arc, there’s a wide array of big combos you can use from this tool — in the corner or otherwise.

Just because Halloween is over, doesn’t mean you get to escape the spooky stuff just yet. It’s time for the Vampire Hunter Championship 2018!

The Vampire Hunter Championship is Mikado’s annual tournament for Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers’ Revenge. Among Darkstalkers fans, Vampire Hunter is considered the slower paced, more methodical entry in the Darkstalkers series. Don’t let that fool you — If rushdown is your thing, there’s plenty of air-dashing, frame trapping, cross up insanity for you to cheer through. And while tiers are considered less compact in Vampire Hunter overall, there’s still some great low tier representation in this tournament.

Team NINJA brought Dead or Alive 6 to the Middle East Games Con in Abu Dhabi last month. This allowed players from the region to try out the upcoming game; one of those players was none other than noted DOA player and content creator EMPEROR COW. At the event, they were able to spend a fair amount of time with the build on hand (which was the same one from the Tokyo Game Show event).

The video below contains both EMPEROR COW’s impressions of the game, as well as some matches with them and a few other players from the region, including Kuwait’s Mesharey who helped him in figuring out the game’s mechanics. What follows in the video below is an in-depth look into the game and how it has changed from DOA5.

In addition to this, EMPEROR COW has also done a written break down over on Free Step Dodge.

Dead or Alive 6 is set to launch on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One on February 15, 2019.

With over ten months of play in Season 3 of Street Fighter V, the argument over which V-Triggers are dominant have started to reach a general consensus on most characters. While there are a few characters that see practical uses of both V-Triggers — some of which are indeed match-up dependent — some characters have clearly superior V-Triggers.

Nash — while having interesting usage of his V-Trigger II — has mostly seen his original V-Trigger used in competitive play. While both V-Triggers have interesting things off of hit confirms, the second V-Trigger suffers from issues past the initial hit confirm, according to VesperArcade. This — when coupled with it requiring one extra bar of V-Meter — causes V-Trigger II to be more of a liability than anything.

Are you enjoying SoulCalibur VI? Enough souls are burning for this game that our tipline has remained steadily on fire since our last roundup post. Let’s take alook and see what the community has submitted to us today!

Let’s start with IRMaxi‘s starter combos for Maxi. If you are looking to take control of the stance-heavy character, IRM is absolutely one of the best players to keep an eye on.

While largely centered around Talim’s capabilities, this punishment video from FyreNecromancer is required viewing for anyone wanting to shut down basic Mina techniques.

LegendaryWolf Shirou has high damage and tech traps for any aspiring Kilik players to bite.

BLUELINKBR shares some fundamental ways to punish Reversal Edge — without using a break attack.

jmcrofts shares a fairly comprehensive starters guide for Sophitia, covering her basic gameplan and neutral.

And finally, closing us out is GodPress, who shows off an incredibly re-wall splat with Azwel’s Soul Charge Truth Loops.

Thanks to everyone that submitted content to us! If you have some SCVI tech you’d like to share with the world, reach out to us through our tipline.

Red Bull’s qualifying tournament series Red Bull Kumite 2018 will conclude next weekend in Paris, France with its flagship invitational tournament.

The Red Bull Kumite is back for its 4th edition. Mark the 11/11 in your calendar and prepare for merciless action!

— Red Bull Esports (@redbullesports) November 2, 2018

With the event just 9 days away, we now the names and faces of (most of) this year’s 14 invitational warriors:

• Nemo
• ProblemX
• Tokido
• MenaRD
• Daigo
• Filipino Champ
• Gunfight
• Angry Bird
• Bonchan
• Luffy
• Poongko
• OilKing
• Smug
• Fujimura

But you need 16 players for an event bracket — and that’s where the 256-man Red Bull Kumite Last Chance Qualifier on Nov. 10th comes in. The winners of the 8 World Qualifying events will be flown in for free to compete in the LCQ, complete with seeded positions in the bracket. The last two players standing in the LCQ will earn their shot in the finals bracket the next day.

You can catch all the action starting November 10th at the Red Bull twitch stream.

The traditionally poke-heavy Alisa has been given some new tools to play with. You won’t be DB+3ing people to death anymore: with powered up chainsaws and stance moves, Alisa can be played in a more versatile and pressure-heavy way, as demonstrated in the latest That Blasted Salami overview.

Combine this with a new power crush, larger hitboxes, and new frame traps on block and hit, and Tekken 7 has a new robot that’s ready to wreck shop — assuming her DB+3 nerf doesn’t hit her too hard in the long run.
