Push blocking is a good defensive tool available to Injustice 2 players. Timed right, it can be used to break out of a reset or a mixup and slow down an opponent’s offense.

As part of their new series of tutorials in preparation for Evo 2017, ETC Chile have released this video showing how to deal with push blocks. Specifically, the video showcases ways to punish push block attempts both in different situations — such as during a reset attempt, and also in the neutral. Mastering these should help players continue their pressure, and allow them to discourage their opponents from using push block!

Lee “Infiltration” Seon-woo is one of the most dominant players in the history of the Street Fighter franchise. If you’re an aspiring Akuma player looking for ways to flesh out your game, you could do worse for a teacher than this international champion.

In this video with Core-A Gaming, Infiltration spends just under an hour taking you through everything there is to know about the Dark Hadou user. There’s move analyses, hit confirming, shimmies, option selects and more for you to study. It’s preceded by an advanced guide to Street Fighter V in general. Infiltration also made a beginner’s guide to SFV as a whole, if you feel like you need to brush up on the game first.

The character used by For Glory players everywhere, Captain Falcon is known for his blinding speed, flashy playstyle, and ability to wipe out stocks in a blink of an eye — as long as you don’t kill yourself. To help struggling Falcon players better optimize their character, MySmashCorner has dedicated his latest combo and neutral guide to the spandex-wearing racing driver.

MySmashCorner has also interviewed YP|Fatality to get his thoughts on Captain Falcon. Along with discussing the character’s strengths and weaknesses, the world’s best Falcon outlines some good stages to counter-pick to, as well as his best and worst matchups. While Captain Falcon has a decent matchup spread, Fatality recommends that you either main the character, or don’t play him at all. It’s solo or bust.

Swamp Thing is generally considered to be one of the weaker characters in Injustice 2. That said, just because he isn’t considered “top tier” doesn’t mean that he can’t dish out some decent damage!

In this new combo video, Ronald Rogan demonstrates some combos that will make any player respect the protector of the Green. Included here are max damage meterless combos, interactable uses, damaging punishes, resets, and even some impractical (but stylish) combos.

Thanks to Raz0r for the tip.

A look into what drives competitive spirit — and where it can lead you.

Originally premiering back in February 2017, Jonathan Rouzier’s indie documentary Road to Evolution explores the drive to compete and improve in fighting games, through the experiences of his cousin Cliff Rouzier as he trains to compete in Street Fighter at the biggest arena for fighting game competition: the Evolution Championship Series.

As some of you may already know, there’s a hitbox viewer available for The King of Fighters XIV: Steam Edition on PC. However, for some, simply seeing these in motion at regular speed may not be enough to fully understand them. For those players, Overheat’s GameTime has been putting out a series of videos showing the hitboxes in slow motion.

Players can now see how they shift from frame to frame, giving them a better idea of how they work. This can help demonstrate why certain moves whiff at certain points in time, and why they get beat out in others. Overheat’s GameTime currently has slow motion videos for Ralph, Nakoruru, Athena Asamiya, King, Iori, Kim Kaphwan, Ryo Sakazaki, Xanadu, Geese Howard, and Terry Bogard. You can check these out below.

In addition to this, their channel has also previously uploaded slow motion hitbox footage of other games, such as Street Fighter V.
