So, yes, our Dragon Ball FighterZ roundup series is lasting as long as the 5 minutes it took Namek to explode. And that’s thanks to you making the barricades of SRK’s tipline bust open with DBFZ content everytime we check it. That DBFZ is still maintaining this type of activity is, from my experience, unprecedented. Everyone really does want to be a Saiyan, I guess.

Let’s see what else the community has sent in!

Zissou breaks down exactly how (comparatively long) assist recovery works in DBFZ.

Doctopus shares a solo 4.4K combo for 1-bar starting, with Vegeta’s divekick.

Clayton chapman shows of the combo potential of both forms of Vegeta…

… Gotenks…

… and Ginyu! These Ginyu mid-screen setups are particularly impressive for the way they still set up Ginyu’s Force without assists.

Speaking of Ginyu, Ninja demonstrates a powerful glitch involving the meter consumption of Ginyu’s Milky Cannon DHC.

OkaySway gives us a greater starter combo guide for Hit, including some advice for alternatives given different situations.

And for those of you that praise Lord Yamcha, Dandy J has some excellent tech in regards to Yamcha’s ability to pull opponents out of the corner…

…and Sword has a safe jump setup!

And last but not least, Jtails breaks down Adult Gohan’s moveset.

As always, if you see anything worth sharing, let us know by submitting a tip for our next roundup. Thanks everyone!

Guile was already a solid character in Season 2 of Street Fighter V. With his fast charge times and his ability to build a wall that was difficult to get around, he was far and away stronger than most of the competition. Season 3 has given even more of a reason to pick the character up, with his V-Trigger II.

This V-Trigger allows him to not only do a double flash kick with his EX Flash Kick, but his normal version also shoots out a projectile which can make it tougher to punish his blocked Flash Kicks. In this video, VesperArcade discusses the many uses — and the strength — of this V-Trigger.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is not yet a month old, and I’m starting to see a lot of new balance changes shaking up the previous character usage.With all these new match-ups, it’s important to learn the full extent of your own character’s changes. In light of this, I’m doing a series of videos on ShoryukenTube showing off the most important gameplay adjustments for each character. I’m making one video a day in this series, until I’ve covered all characters.

I’m doing the characters in the order they appear on Capcom’s official patch notes. The order seems to be SFV’s twelve returning characters, the four new characters, the first season of DLC, and then the second season of DLC, in order of release. This week I’ve covered Rainbow Mika and Birdie, as well as series newcomers Necalli, Rashid, Laura, and F.A.N.G. With these six characters, I’ve now covered the base roster of the game.

Continuing with last time, I’m also doing a video covering each character’s new V-trigger II. These new V-triggers significantly affect gameplay, and they have a lot of intricacies that are not well-defined in the game’s demonstration mode. So, I look at each character’s new V-Trigger in detail here, and explain its uses.

That’s sixteen characters down, now only the DLC to go! Check out my previous videos here:

Rising Up: Season 3 — New V-Triggers and important changes for Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Cammy, & Nash

Rising Up: Season 3 — New V-Triggers and important changes for M. Bison, Vega, Dhalsim, Zangief, & Karin

I’ll continue with both series every day until I’ve covered all characters, which should take about a month total. Keep an eye on the ShoryukenTube YouTube channel, so you don’t miss out!

Some time back, we shared some off-screen footage that players took of Fighting EX Layer at Evo Japan. Now, we’re back to share more footage of ARIKA’s much-awaited fighter.

The new footage comes courtesy of the YouTube channel ARIKAFGC. The channel itself is dedicated to ARIKA’s games and features a lot of content featuring them. The videos below features Doctrine Dark, who made his publicly playable debut at Evo Japan.

Fighting EX Layer launches on PlayStation 4 sometime later this year.

Do you like high level execution? Do you have anything resembling interest in Pokkén Tournament DX? If those statements are true for you, you’ll see in Mewtater‘s latest combo video that Aegislash was almost certainly meant for you.

Aegislash is built around what is likely a reference to Namco’s SoulCalibur series: just like the Greek characters in SC, Aegislash has just-frame inputs on a number of its moves that give it additional damage. Combining these precise inputs with Aegislash’s many solid okizeme setups (and a Guard Impact like Parry… hmm!) and Pokkén’s latest character shreds life-bars quickly and stylishly.

While Ibuki’s bomb in V-Trigger I was very strong in Street Fighter V‘s second season. However, many top players are adopting her second V-Trigger in Season 3, which sees her throw out a giant shuriken.

While the jury has been out on whether or not it is the most viable option, Shanks Luffy has compiled a quick video, showing off the combo potential of Ibuki’s Fuma Shuriken. Included in the video are various tournament-viable resets, along with a few fun tricks you probably won’t see in a tournament set. These include pulling five target combos in one combo, eleven kunais in one combo, and a seventy hit combo that includes a Critical Art.

It can be easy to exaggerate the complexity of a character in a 3D fighting game due to the size of their move-lists. Once you understand how an average character functions in an engine though, it can make learning new characters fairly simple. But when a character defies the standard logic shared among many in the cast, it can make learning and playing that character much more difficult.

That’s Steve in Tekken 7. He’s easily punch parried, lacking in standard launchers, bad punishment options — if you said this about any other character in T7, you’d likely write them off immediately. But those facts ignore his true strengths — his complex stances, his pokes, and his exceptional counter-hit tools. Learning Steve is like playing a different game then everyone else playing Tekken, and that’s why the Feature Film length of That Blasted Salami‘s latest guide is vital for anyone ready to dive into this character. Good luck, pugilists.

While getting full combos off of counter-hits can be tricky in any game — as you may catch one without expecting it — Tekken 7‘s Claudio has a solid counter-hit launcher in his 4,3 string. Because of its short start-up of 12 frames, you can actually interrupt some of your opponents pressure if they get too greedy with it.

Getting the counter-hit is actually easy, but the fun part is getting the conversion off of it reliably. Fortunately, this video shows a plethora of options to convert with, including his back 4, as well as Starburst. Using these will be key to getting damage in critical moments.
