Optimization is an important aspect to fighting game combos. No matter how you look at it, getting the highest, most consistent damage off all your conversions leads to more wins in the long run. But not every combo is meant to be a tournament winner — sometimes, you just gotta show off.

World Warrior FGC has seen in more than his fair share of useful Ken tech for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Today’s combos aren’t about utility, and more about style. Multiple mid-juggle cross unders, backwards tatsus, reverse input DPs and more are demonstrated in his latest video.

Once you get put in a situation where anything can kill you in Tekken 7, it’s easy to panic and over-commit to a risky, thoughtless decision. This can get compounded when fighting a new opponent, as you have little-to-no information to work with on what they might be willing to do in order to finish the round.

In situations like this, BoxeR-King suggests, it’s best to play objectively and calmly, focusing on what’s likely going to be used by the character, not the player. His latest video breaks down the theory behind the chip-kill scenario in Tekken — how to analyze it and how to overcome it.

“It’s Turtle Time!”

Are you one of the many players excited to play one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Injustice 2, but unsure of which one to start with? Confused whether to use Donatello’s gadgets, Mikey’s rocket skateboard, Raph’s Hype gauge or Leonardo’s assists? Maybe Agni Kai Gaming’s latest combo video will help you compare their tubular mutant moves!

If you’re familiar with Mortal Kombat X’s Triborg, you likely know what’s going on already — each of the Turtles share some standard abilities between them, but diverge when it comes to their special moves and traits. Agni Kai shows off all four turtles in their latest video; which one looks the most stylish to you?

Bandai Namco’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle had a weird reputation as an auto-combo only fighter when it was first released. As those in the FGC that still play the game would attest, this couldn’t be further from the truth:

And even if you wanted to take the path of least resistance, you wouldn’t be able to with the character Hermes. This complex criminal lacks a combo-able level 1 super, forcing her to instead exploit the game’s nuanced, meter heavy juggle system. She also full employs use of the game’s Stand De-sync mechanic, which forms the basis of many of her juggles in this video. (For the uninitated: a ‘Stand’ is the ghost-like entity standing behind Hermes in this post’s banner.)

If that weren’t enough, she also has a sub-system involving stickers she attaches to her own limbs, allowing each stickered limb to add an additional hit when used in an attack. This changes the way attacks behave in damage scaling and during juggles, and has to be managed by the player since Hermes loses her stickers when she’s knocked down.

All of these aspects of JJBA:ASB’s combo system are demonstrated in GreenPoolBall‘s latest video, which also shows off some useful safe jumps and crossups. If for, some reason, you watch the above video and still think you can auto-combo your way to victory, you should head on over to the very active JJBA:ASB Discord and try your luck.

“I got no such thing as limits.”

Are you looking to up your Blitzball game in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT? Nevillebamshew, aka “NEV”, has put together an excellent visual guide to the technical workings of Final Fantasy X’s Jecht.

Beyond just move startup, NEV has measured and quantified each move’s range and Brave damage. Combining this with a straight forward description of each attack makes this an excellent starting guide for anyone looking to pick up Jecht. Seeing as Tidus’ dad hits like a truck, you’ll want to memorize all of his frame data to guarantee that big boy damage.
