Final Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite character tutorials: Jedah, Frank West, Doctor Strange, Rocket, Firebrand, & Spider-Man

We’ve finally arrived at the final six official character tutorials for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s 30-character launch roster, courtesy of FingerCramp and Unequalled Media. This final set looks at the “Distressed Lord Of Death” and co-ruler of the Dark Kingdom, Jedah Dohma, Frank West, Doctor Strange, Rocket Raccoon, Firebrand, and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

As is customary, Capcom UK Community Manager Matt “The Street Writer” Edwards provides a brief character overview, before dissecting each fighter’s specials, Hyper combos, and unique skills — such as Spider-Man’s Web Glide or Jedah’s ability to cancel his forward and back dashes into each other for extremely tricky movement angles. He then moves on to basic and advanced combo breakdowns — displayed at both normal and 50% speed — before closing on a recommended choice of Infinity Stone. We also get a listen to each character’s new theme — though Firebrand’s mistakenly seems to use Arthur’s again. You can view all six videos below.

Capcom Japan has also released their own trailer for the self-proclaimed “Vampire Savior.”

You can view all of the other character tutorials that have been released at the links below.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam PC. The first six DLC characters, Sigma, Black Panther, Monster Hunter, Black Widow, Winter Soldier and Venom, will also likely get character tutorials closer to their releases.

Bring on the bloodshed with this 2.0 Ragna the Bloodedge combo tutorial video

It’s time to dust off the protagonist, Ragna the Bloodedge. The main character of BlazBlue: Central Fiction received some tuning in the 2.0 update. As typical for most of the cast, these aren’t really sweeping changes that dramatically affect his gameplay. However, there are some new combo paths and more optimal sequences that can boost your damage and bring on more pain to the opponent.

Hentaitop comes back with another combo collection video. As usual, they provide a really good primer at the beginning that explains notation, and all the move names in Japanese and English. Every combo has damage and inputs listed. You’ll see a variety of combo starters to give you all-around knowledge of Ragna’s combos. The video ramps up the damage later on as it reaches Rapid Cancel and Overdrive sections.

The same author also recently published an accomplished Terumi combo tutorial video.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 will feature fully playable versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and VIRTUAL-ON

If you cast your minds back to 2016, you may remember that we reported that Yakuza 6 will allow players to play an emulated version of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown within its in-game arcades. Well, with the recent announcement of Yakuza Kiwami 2, you’ll be able to go further back into Sega’s history.

Located within one of Kiwami 2’s Club Sega arcades, wannabe gangsters can play a few rounds of either Virtua Fighter 2 or VIRTUAL-ON. From on the little footage we’ve seen, it’s not currently known if these emulations are based on the original arcade games, or their Sega Saturn ports.

For those who never played these classics — or simply want a trip down memory lane in between beating up street thugs — keep a look out for Yakuza Kiwami 2 when it comes to the West in 2018. The Yakuza development team are also working on a Fist of the North Star-themed Yakuza game, so we may even see a port of Hokuto no Ken making it into that dream crossover!

Check out Monster Hunter in action in this Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite showcase footage from TGS 2017

At this week’s Tokyo Game Show, we got our first look at Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s Monster Hunter, via a new trailer. In addition to this however, Capcom also showed her off during their stream. The showcase had her in the hands of some of Capcom’s staff. They demonstrated a few matches, allowing us to see more of her moves, her specials, and the insane amount of Hyper meter she seems to have.

For those who missed it, Xuses has uploaded a 25-minute recording of the showcase to his YouTube channel. You can check it out below:

Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL-ON shows off some new footage at the Tokyo Game Show

One of the more unique fighting game crossovers that will be coming out next year is Sega’s Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL-ON. This 3D mecha fighter combines the classic VIRTUAL-ON gameplay with characters from the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime and light novel franchise.

At the 2017 Tokyo Game Show, Sega finally showed gameplay of the game — for the first time ever. Despite the anime crossover elements, the game itself plays in traditional VIRTUAL-ON twin-stick fashion. What the collaboration brings, however, is some new mecha designs, combined with some rather unorthodox attacks, and some extra in-match dialogue with anime-style cut-ins.

For those interested in what the game looks like, Kira A has shared the footage from Sega on their YouTube channel. You can check it out below.

Toaru Majutsu no VIRTUAL-ON launches on PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita — in Japan — on February 15, 2018.
