The wait is almost over, yet still excruciating for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. To further add anticipation to our wait, Capcom UK community manager Matt “TheStreetWriter” Edwards posted a video showcasing every single V-Trigger II of the existing cast.

Not only does the video explain what the various new V-Triggers do — something which had already been done in their blog post — but it also gives visual examples of the various followups and possible setups you can do after each V-Trigger. This should add some fuel to the theory fighter fire for the next few days.

Have you ever played an online match and cringed to see yourself on the 2-player side? So do top players, especially Tekken players — who evoke a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors in order to choose sides.

Gerald from Core-A Gaming decided to discuss the differences between sides. While execution can be a factor on both sides in various games, none have it worse than 3D game players, especially in Tekken, as sidesteps are also reversed when on the right-hand side instead of the left-hand side. He also discusses what players can do to mitigate their side problems.

We are only a few days away from Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, and now it’s time to look back at some of the strangest and funniest things that have happened in Season 2 of the game. When this video starts off with an Alex full parry that warrants this response from BornFree, you know it’s going to be good.

From weird hitbox interactions — including Smug landing behind a Birdie, only for Birdie to reappear in front of him — to Daigo teabagging Justin Wong, this video leaves one alternating between laughing hysterically and shaking one’s head.

Any time that Leffen and Armada play each other in Super Smash Bros. Melee these days, we expect to see a lot of fireworks. The two Swedish players have a long history against each other, and as such we see a lot of high-level mind games that you don’t often observe in other matches of the game.

They have recently been trading back and forth, and with Leffen coming out of Losers Bracket at Valhalla 2018 in Denmark, we are treated to an amazing display of clutch factor in this Grand Finals set. Missed the action? Thankfully, there is a replay for our enjoyment now.

YouTuber TheMystyGamer’s latest Tekken 7 combo video puts the spotlight on the FGC’s beloved Tae Kwon Do dude, Hwoarang. Though he has a history of being called a “cheap” character by some, the execution of some of Hwoarang’s high-damage combos can get pretty technical, especially if you haven’t learned to navigate all of his movelist-altering stances.

Technical or not, It’s definitely more entertaining to watch flashy, heavily kick-clad combos be executed on bots than to actually be on the receiving end of them in a match. Check out the combo video below to watch TheMystyGamer kick it with Hwoarang in Tekken 7.

YouTuber Ra3bones continues his The King of Fighters XIV beginner breakdown series with the Ikari Warrior known as Whip. Staying true to her code name, Whip’s trusty weapon of choice gives her attacks superior range advantages that make it easy for her to regulate the spacing of a match. Still, her use of a weapon doesn’t make picking her up any easier, and there is actually quite a bit to break down.

With great range comes great responsibility, and as a Whip player you’re going to want to take precautions to not get snared yourself. Check out Ra3bone’s beginner breakdown below and see if it can help you whip your own Whip into shape.

Of all the new characters in Tekken 7, Katarina Alves is arguably the one you see the least of in a tournament setting. Her intentionally simplified move-set makes her easy to pick up, but also easy for opponents to dissect at intermediate play and beyond. Yes, I’m afraid to inform you: Magic 4 won’t carry you forever, particularly versus players that know how to neutralize it.

Still, that doesn’t mean we haven’t seen Katarina do well in tournaments, with great matches from players such as Weapon X and Yellowtail in tournament play. If you’re ready to learn what makes this character work, then class is in session: Mastermind breaks down Katarina’s range, pokes, and combos in the this installment of his character guide series.

Korea and Japan — political implications aside — have a long-standing rivalry, especially in Tekken. While Japan is the originator of the game, Korea has long held the reputation of having the strongest players in the game, even claiming that Korean arcade parts are better suited for the game!

Yet, in 2017, Evo 2017 champion JDCR was taken to his limits and beaten by Japan’s Noroma at the Korean Tekken World Tour stop. He has since gotten his revenge by beating him during the Tekken World Tour Finals. But now’s the time for the rubber match. In this epic Tekken 7 first-to-ten held in Japan, who will come out on top?
