The Beefy Smash Doods list their five new mode requests for Super Smash Bros. on Switch

The Doods offer their wishlist for new gameplay options in Nintendo’s upcoming Smash hit.

Super Smash Bros. games tend to have only a few gameplay modes utilized by the competitive scene — memes re. Fox only on Final Destination notwithstanding — but Nintendo isn’t shy about packing the games with lots of other ways to play than just the basic stock or timed battles.

We can expect the same in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. title for the Nintendo Switch, and the Beefy Smash Doods already have some ideas on what modes they’d like to see introduced in the next Smash. How about an “Iron Man” character-elimination face-off (already present in Project M)? Maybe the return of Target Test — but with an added stage builder? The introduction of a move-cancelling Turbo Mode? They describe these ideas, and more, in the video below.

Welcome the new Mayor of Metro City with this extended cut of Cody’s preview theme for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

New, moves, new threads, and new tunes for a returning fighter.

Cody’s reveal — and his new job as Mayor of Metro City, apparently Haggar’s flawed solution to keeping Cody out of street fights — has gone over pretty well, presenting a fighter that brings old tech in along with some interesting new ideas. And his moveset isn’t the only thing that’s updated for Street Fighter V: his trailer features a new theme for Cody that — like his gameplay design — mixes old and new together.

VesperArcade uploaded this extended cut of the trailer’s preview theme for your enjoyment, while you wait for the mayor to arrive:

VesperArcade also took some time to look more closely at Cody’s changes in the reveal trailer.

Tyrant and Packz go into The Lab to explore how to defend against Cammy in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

Learn to better protect yourself from the former Killer Bee’s sting.

Cammy is arguably among the strongest characters in Street Fighter V. If you’re facing a Cammy player that knows her tools and abilities well, you’re in for a tough fight: her speed, range, and pressure/mixup options are formidable.

And while her strengths are making her a more frequent pick for many, if you want to stay in the “beat them” instead of “join them” category, Tyrant and Packz have teamed up with Red Bull Gaming Sphere London to bring us a new series called The Lab, in which they’ll look at how to improve your defensive game in SFV — and Cammy is the first test subject. In the extensive video below, they examine her strong points in detail, and explore what your options are on the defensive side.

VesperArcade breaks down Cody’s changes as shown in his reveal trailer for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

A closer look at what we can see so far of Cody’s “unique” political platform.

Cody’s new Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition incarnation has been revealed, and is coming to SFVAE on June 26th. As short as a reveal trailer is, it can tell us a lot about what to expect from a new character’s gameplay — and VesperArcade wastes no time jumping in to analyze what we’ve been shown of Cody’s new and returning abilities.

He comments that in the trailer, Cody’s overall animation appears slightly improved over what we’ve seen from prior Season 3 fighters, fitting for a hard-hitting street brawler (Sakura and Falke have both come under criticism for floaty, “soft” move animations). Zonk Knuckle and Ruffian Kick are still here, but no more Criminal Upper (outside of his “Criminal Punisher” Critical Art). He talks about how his V-Triggers look interesting to use, points out how his new target combo draws from his Final Fight moveset (as well as looking very useful), and more in the video below.

Cody — the new Mayor of Metro City — steps into Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on June 26

Cody busts outta jail once again — and takes Hagger’s job!

As promised via a series of teases over the weekend, the closing of Street Fighter V top 8 at Combo Breaker 2018 saw the reveal of the official Cody gameplay trailer for Arcade Edition, giving us our first good look at the next Season 3 DLC fighter. In between some live-action atmosphere setting, you can see both familiar and unfamiliar moves from the returning fan-favorite — including how his trademark weapons return in the form of V-Triggers.

Cody comes dressed for success in his new role as Mayor, launching with four alternate outfits — include two “Nostalgia” costumes, the second based on his classic Final Fight origins. While the Battle costume will be included in the Season 3 Character Pass, expect to be “taxed” a bit (for the good of Metro City, certainly) to fight with the premium Nostalgia or Final Fight outfits.

Expect Cody to join the Street Fighter V roster on June 26th!

And: don’t you think Mayor Cody’s live-action incarnation looks a bit familiar…?

Control the Duel Phase with BadIntent’s Pokkén Tournament DX footsie primer

Space control is ultimately one of the most important parts of any fighting game, and that includes Pokkén Tournament DX. As Pokkén Pro BadIntent explains in his latest video, it doesn’t matter how big your opponents combos are if they can never hit you:

Though Pokkén may do things a little differently thanks to the inclusion of Pokkén’s guard button, the classic elements of 2D footsies are still there in Pokkén’s Duel Phase. If you’ve been struggling to get out of mix-ups or force your opponent to open up, check out BadIntent’s introduction to Pokkén’s complex spacing game, and get ready to level up!

Tekken 7 collaboration “Project Rainbow” shows off high damage and execution for Hwoarang, Leo, and Eliza

Famed member of the Tekken combo group KYSG, Guc11, recently teamed up with YouTuber A A JOB to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Tekken 7‘s combo system. The results are the creative and clever conversions below, dubbed “Project Rainbow”:

Fans of Hwoarang, Leo, and Eliza are in for a treat — as are fans of the insanity that can be pulled off in Tekken’s open-ended juggle system. There aren’t too many places you’ll get to see cross-under anti-bear juggles, 85% juggles off of Leo B+1+4, and back-turned floor breaks in the same place.
