Since we last broke the news on the discovery of the Rotate Cancel glitch in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, the JJBA:ASB community has been pushing this truly bizarre glitch to its limits. Let’s take a look at some of the ways the community has exploited this brand new tech for a 5-year old game:

Xemasklyr has more than a few rotate cancels to show us. While some characters make better use of it then others, Johnathan’s long legs on his st.C make his particularly useful.

Will Zeppeli used to be held down by somewhat lower-than-average damage. Thanks to Rotate Cancels, this is no longer the case.

Lastly from Xemasklyr, we have Hol Horse’s Gun Loop. Hol Horse already had loops and high damage — Rotate Cancels just help keep things more stable and flashy:

MrMulaflaga shows how you can use even a simple inclusion at the end of juggles for a bit more meter gain and damage with Yoshikage Kira.

Free Meal8WR shows how Wham can intentionally trigger JJBA:ASB’s infinite protection system with Rotate Cancels to go for cheeky mix-ups…

…and how Kakyoin becomes a command grab/high/low mix-up monster, so long as you keep an eye on your meter usage. Shame his damage is still bad, but with tech like this, it probably should be.

Tyadran was one of the original players to show off the power of Rotate Cancels in combos, and he’s got more juggles for several members of the cast here:

Finally, closing us out is GreenPoolBall. By far the most broken-looking implementation of Rotate Cancel appears to the silliness that can occur when combined with Super Jump cancels:

Thanks to everyone that’s submitted Rotate Cancel content over the past few days. Wondering where all this stuff came from, or have an interest in the game itself? Most of the players linked above are from the JoJo:ASB discord, located here.

“Game over, pal! Don’t forget to save. Sweet dreams!”

A new character has appeared in the mystery mansion of SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy, and it’s none other than The King of Fighters‘s Shermie!

It’s worth noting that Shermie is the first character to appear in SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy that is not already in The King of Fighters XIV. One has to wonder if the fan-favorite orochi grappler will make her way into KOFXIV sometime in the future.

SNK Heroines Tag Team Frenzy launches September 7th, 2018 for the Nintendo Switch; a PlayStation 4 release is planned as well.

With the freshly-released Season 3.5 balance patch for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition hitting us like a wake-up Shoryuken (the kind with invincibility) this week, World Warriors all across the globe are scrambling to see what the latest round of alterations for the entire 30-character roster mean for their favorite fighters. We’ve compiled a series of analysis videos, from covering a variety of the cast in these early days.

First off, VesperArcade takes a look at the controversial buffs and quality-of-life improvements to Cammy White — despite the Delta Red member already being considered a top 5 character in the previous version of the game, and how this could seem questionable in comparison to other tenets of Capcom’s patching philosophy with the game.

TheRedGambit provides us with great pre and post-patch breakdowns for Juri Han (clad in her new Lilith Darkstalkers Crossover Costume) as many seemed confused on what the patch’s full implications were for the Poison Spider.

HDJammerz shows us the fruit’s of R. Mika’s wrestling training, as well as an interesting stealth change to her “Steel Chair” V-Trigger II that was left out of the official notes.

Thu Yaj and DeadAceBS analyze the interesting modifications to the Wandering Warrior himself: Ryu.

DeadAceBS also takes a look at everyone’s favorite boxer, Balrog, who received huge buffs to his B3 V-Trigger II.

BGCallisto looks at the improvements to Season 3’s first new challenger, Sakura Kasugano.

Rush G takes a look at the practical buff applications for the fiery Ken Masters, who received great improvements to his Step Kick V-Skill.

BlackPantherN7 looks at the changes for the trio of Menat, Laura Matsuda, and the recently-released Blanka.

Being Vice-President of the Secret Society has its benefits, as changes to the recovery of some normals have allowed Urien to regain his Dangerous Headbutt loops, as demonstrated by Dragon Soul.

Finally, Rainacide looks at what’s different for Shadaloo’s Dictator, M. Bison.

There’s surely going to be more tech and discoveries coming in the weeks and months ahead, but hopefully these overviews will give you a good idea of where most of the cast currently stands, and how you can adapt to or best utilize the changes to your fighters of choice. You can also check out SonicSol’s thoughts on Nash for more.

Injustice 2 is known for its swag combos, and this combo video is no exception. In fact, it advertises itself as such in its title!

As one of the more-recent DLC characters, we haven’t seen too much in the way of exploration with Enchantress since her release. This should change with the tournament season ramping up. However, this combo video shows off a bit of the impractical with her, which in turn shows off her capabilities. With excellent usage of her avatars stemming from her Trait, as well as some amazing inclusions of stage interactables, you’ll see some soul-stealing combos.

Prepare for trouble! And make it double! When evil meets even more evil, you know exactly how grimy a combo video is going to be. With this Blazblue: Central Fiction combo video, you know full well before watching that nothing but sinister combos are heading your way.

Watch as Hazama leads off with crazy combos, only for bad to get worse with Terumi tearing up the Wheel of Fate. With great spacing of meter usage, including several of instances of multiple distortion drives in one combo, you may feel a little dirty after this one.

Nash has been a proverbial yo-yo throughout the course of Street Fighter V. After experiencing success in the hands of players during Season 1, Season 2 saw him suffer due to heavy nerfs. He saw a bit of help in Season 3, but with a new balance patch coming in this week, players of the character had every right to be nervous.

According to SonicSol, he has some nerfs, but also some buffs that help him out. While his V-Trigger II was nerfed to the point that SonicSol suggests that no one will use it, V-Trigger I was buffed to the point that you have far more options using it.
