Hello, fellow tech-hungry Tekken-ers! It’s a new week and we have a new set of high-damage combo videos and tricky tech traps to share for the latest 3D fighter juggernaut, Tekken 7.

rooflemonger breaks down his top 10 moves for Asuka:

Tired of scrubs throwing Death Fist at you? Then punish it! Here’s a compilation of cast-wide punishes vs Paul’s Death Fist, courtesy of Proper Tech.

dietydevil is ready to show off his Heihachi skills. There’s a really impressive combo in here that has 4 Dragon Uppercuts!

Kongo Jack‘s Gigas combo video is a grab bag of wall damage and mixup tech.

HurtboxTV‘s combo guide will help you quickly pick up the Mishima matriarch.

Byakko explains Power Crushes, how to use them, and how to bait them.

xMTSento found that if you space properly, Alisa’s d+3, 1 is guaranteed.

BloodHawkTR is back with more applications for his back-turned tech traps on octagon stages. Here, he traps into a back-turned throw with Steve.

Even Kuma has some tech traps off the wall, as ReynosVII shows us!

Evo isn’t long from now… do you think we’ll see any of these crazy tech traps launch someone into top 8?

As most of you already know, Pokkén Tournament is getting an updated re-release for Nintendo Switch, Pokkén Tournament DX. This updated version brings with it new features such as 3v3 battles, as well as the extra characters from the arcade version that didn’t made it to the Wii U release.

Alongside these new additions, Pokkén Tournament DX also brings with it some graphical upgrades. Just how much have the game’s graphics improved? To find out, Digital Foundry did a comparison video where they took the footage from E3, and used that a basis for comparison against footage captured from the Wii U version.

As the video below demonstrates, the most obvious difference is that Pokkén Tournament DX now runs at a full 1280 x 720, compared to the 960 x 720 of the original. In addition to this, the Switch version also features better texture filtering, while consistently hitting its 60 FPS target. That said, like the original, the Switch version still lacks anti-aliasing.

Street Fighter Carnival 9 has just concluded over at World Famous Mikado Arcade! SFC9 is Mikado’s month-long, multi-game tournament series. They are known for playing every fighting game under the sun, so if this is your first time tuning in, be sure to see some of the past entries in this series!

The very last video in SFC9’s series just went up, so let’s catch up on all the tournaments that just went down.

There was Namco’s legendary Tekken 3…

SNK’s King of Fighters 2002…

SNK’s foray into 3D, King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation “A”…

Yeti’s only fighting game to date,  Koihime Enbu…

SNK’s Fatal Fury Special…

A big surprise with SNK’s The King of Fighters XIV. It’s not often Mikado will play something that was released this recently, and probably the only time you’ll see it and Tekken 3 at the same event…

…and to close it all out, a multi-game  single elimination tournament with SNK’s Buriki One, Yeti’s Koihime Enbu, Sealy’s Chaos Generation, Saurus’s Ragnagard, Capcom’s Street Fighter Alpha 2, SNK’s Real Bout 2 Fatal Fury, SNK’s Samurai Shodown 3, ADK’s World Heroes 2, and ADK’s Twinkle Star Sprites.

Mikado is constantly uploading a wide variety of arcade entertainment on their channel, so be sure to check them out!

Of all the new characters in Tekken 7, Kazumi Mishima is the character we have seen the most content for here at SRK. Whether it’s her electric-less Mishima Style, her beauty, or her teleporting pet tiger, the character seems to be generally well-received.

(It’s probably the tiger.)

YouTuber hfblade is here to show off his work with the demon bride. There’s plenty of tigers being hurled, sure, but there’s also a lot of valid (and creative) combo extensions shown off here. Be sure to check out the side-hit floor break on the Forgotten Realm!

They lurk on the ‘net, waiting for tournament gameplay to appear…

We’re all familiar with how chaotic, ridiculous, and bizarre the comment section on an FGC tournament stream becomes. Once the “stream monsters” arrive, the madness begins.

New YouTube channel THE STREAM MONSTER gives a voice to this insanity; check out the first two videos below, sampling the monstrous comment sections from CEO 2017’s Street Fighter V and Injustice 2 finals. Naturally, some of the language is NSFW!

Keep an eye on THE STREAM MONSTER YouTube channel for more wonderful, terrible stream commentary in the future.

SetToDestroyX|Allister is North America’s most recognizable and accomplished Suicune player. Perhaps even the most recognizable Pokkén player, period, when taking into account the fact he was tapped for Nintendo’s Pokkén Tournament DX exhibition at E3. If anyone is going to have valuable match-up knowledge to share, it’s this tournament veteran!

Blaziken is a character that seems terrifying at first — as any character with a screen munching, jab-speed powerful attack like Blaze Kick would. But there’s a lot of gaps and tricks you can use to take advantage of the fire bird’s offense, forcing him to play more honestly with you.

Nintendo’s lead protagonist of ARMS is, perhaps predictably, an orthodox, balanced character. This makes him a great starting place for learning the ins-and-outs of ARMS gameplay.

Equipped with the ability to deflect incoming attacks,  Spring Man controls the ground and can punish predictable opponents reliably. He also gets permanently-charged arms when below 25% health thanks to his “Guts” ability, allowing him to pressure hard and build meter quickly. You may not want to stick with Spring Man, but you’ll pick up footsies and punishment concepts quickly with this straightforward moveset.
