Tune up your ninjutsu skills with this Bang Shishigami combo tutorial video

Have no fear, for the Japanese ninja, Bang Shishigami is here! Bang is one of the original BlazBlue characters, hailing all the way from 2008’s Calamity Trigger. Though he isn’t a very popular character in Central Fiction, he still remains a unique and complex character with very cool ninja tricks.

Hentaitop is back with a new combo collections video covering Bang. As usual, their videos start out with a few informative screens that explain his moves. There are a few layers to him involving resources. He gains Seals with his Drive, which unlock special skills for his Overdrive as well as give him access to a new Distortion Drive should he have all of them. He spends Nails whenever he uses different types of projectiles either for neutral or in combos. The video starts out with more basic combos that take advantage of such resources. The variety of combos covers midscreen and corner techniques from many starters, including throw. And as always, the latter combos in video increase in complexity and incorporate Overdrive and Rapid Cancels.

Check it out below, and also take a look at Hibiki CF combos for different style of ninjutsu.

Learn to play with a Progressive Mentality in Tekken 7 with PepperBeef2Spicy

Everyone suffers from plateauing when learning a new fighting game. When this happens, it can be difficult to figure out how to progress in your learning. This is particularly true in Tekken 7, a game with years of legacy systems — it can be overwhelming just to know where to start learning when there’s so many things to catch up on.

It’s important to note that all players of all levels experience this. PepperBeef2Spicy, an accomplished Tekken tournament player, admits as much — progressing and improving isn’t a magic change that occurs overnight, but rather a gradual shift in how you approach thinking about your gameplay. In this video, he goes over how he managed to adopt this mindset to improve — and how you can too.

Falke “float glitch” discovered in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition

New fighters, new glitches.

Filipino Champ encountered an entertaining/aggravating new glitch while streaming Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition not too long ago: it seems Falke takes her Guardian Hawk persona seriously enough that she wants to fly — or at least hang motionless in the air, above a rather confused opponent. [Audio NSFW!]

Definitely more floating like a butterfly, than soaring like a hawk. The cause of the glitch is unclear, but appears to possibly involve her “Windstoss” air throw. In this instance it’s accidental, but we don’t know if it can be deliberately replicated à la the classic game-breaking Street Fighter II arcade bugs. Fortunately, while it stops Falke dead in the air, it only takes a swipe from Necalli to get things back to normal.

Let us know if you’ve encountered this glitch!

Gunvolt is the latest character addition to Blade Strangers

Nicalis has revealed another indie game character that is joining their upcoming Blade Strangers. Gunvolt, the titular character from Inti Creates’ Azure Striker Gunvolt series, joins the fray in this crossover fighter.

Azure Striker Gunvolt and it’s sequel are the first IP self published by Inti Creates — a company more known for making the Mega Man Zero and Mega Man ZX games, as well as the ill-fated Mighty No. 9. The games themselves borrow a bit from the Mega Man Zero and ZX games, something which can be seen in how Gunvolt moves and plays. You can see a bit of this influence in the trailer that Nicalis shared over Twitter.

Blade Strangers launches on Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC this Summer.

Catch some Blake footage and full movelist rundown from the BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle tournaments at KSB 2018

KSB (KVO x TSB) 2018 took place in Japan last weekend, a fusion of Japanese and American efforts in the fighting game scene, and one of the main attractions was the latest build of BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle. It featured a few fighters from one of the Character Packs — Kanji, Platinum, and Orie, along with the RWBY member Blake.

Although we’ve seen a gameplay overview of Blake, we haven’t really had a chance to get many impressions of her. Thankfully, KSB attendee, Rurouni, was there to experiment with the character. Their BBTAG Blake overview is a fairly in-depth guide of her abilities and normal attacks. She has some very good pokes, and her jC attack is very interesting: it’s a type of a teleport, blink-strike (which, story-wise, is consistent with her skills, which also include shadow clones). Some of her special attacks, translated as “Shadow Kick,” “Shadow Pounce,” and “Shadow Trick,” have multiple follow-ups which can be done even on whiff. She can also make three types of clones, Stone, Shadow, and Fire. The first one blocks an attack, the second masks her movements a little (some properties may not be discovered yet) and the last one is an explosive EX version of the move.

Check out a picture captured by St1ckBuG of Blake’s movelist, and review the action below from KSB to see Blake as well as other fighters in action. The BBTAG beta starts on Wednesday for those who pre-order the game from PSN.

Rising Up: Season 3.5 — Important changes for Kolin, Ed, Abigail, Menat, Zeku, Sakura, & Blanka

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition has only been out for a few months, but the community has been voicing strong opinions about various characters’ Season 3 changes; in light of this, Capcom released a mid-season balance patch which sought to address some of the most common complaints about the game’s engine and the characters in question. This patch also includes various small balance changes to every character. Because of this, I’ve prepared a series of videos on ShoryukenTube showing off the most important gameplay adjustments on a per-character basis.

Continuing from my last three posts, this week covers the second season of DLC: Kolin, Ed, Abigail, Menat, and Zeku, as well as the season 3 characters who changed in the 3.5 patch: Sakura and Blanka. Many of these characters saw very little revision in the season 3 patch — probably because they were still very new — and thus this is their first serious rebalance. Abigail was notably significantly buffed in the Season 3 changes, and has now seen significant adjustments; calls for his debuffs probably justified the 3.5 patch in the first place.

If you missed the previous videos, check them out here:

Rising Up: Season 3.5 — Overview and important changes for Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, M. Bison, Vega, Dhalsim, & Zangief

Rising Up: Season 3.5 — Important changes for Nash, Karin, R. Mika, Birdie, Necalli, Rashid, Laura, & F.A.N.G

Rising Up: Season 3.5 — Important changes for Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri, Urien, & Akuma

That’s all for this update series; I’ll start it again at the next significant balance patch. Until then, I’ve got something special coming up on the horizon, so stay tuned.

Should you play Bullet, BlazBlue: Central Fiction’s rushdown grappler?

BlazBlue: Central Fiction‘s Bullet hasn’t had an easy road in the game. She was never considered a strong character, and for some reason, she seemed even weaker than usual in 1.0 Central Fiction. However, the 2.0 patch tuned her quite a bit, and if you haven’t considered playing her before, or just don’t know much about her, Apolo’s latest video should help out.

Apolo made a video before about Bullet 2.0 patch changes, which included significant buffs. If you’re really interested in her as a character, don’t be discouraged by tier lists, especially now. Though Bullet does struggle with many characters in the game, in particularly zoners who can keep her out, she can dish out pretty intense pressure, particularly when she has a chance to get fired up. She also has some good normal attacks, particularly jump C, which is commonly used to set up safe jump pressure.

Check out the instructional video below that lays out her strengths and weaknesses; if you’d rather switch gears, the creator also recently covered Dizzy’s pros and cons in Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2.
