Tekken 7 isn’t just a new installment in Bandai Namco’s long running franchise–the game is supposed to be the finale of the Mishima family storyline that has dominated the series’ plot for over two decades. Thus the game’s story, and how it closes out this chapter, is something many fans are looking forward to.

This is the focus of a new trailer for Tekken 7; the trailer below shows the connections that everyone has to the Mishima family, while also building towards what may be the epic conclusion of this story arc.

Giant Swing, one of King’s many command grabs in Tekken 7, is the bedrock of the Feline Luchador’s mixup game. Japanese King player Doctor is back with another English-subtitled guide to help you get the most out of this frightening toss.

First, Doctor walks through some useful techniques to practice, such as buffering and preforming Giant Swing from crouching attacks. Once you’re comfortable with these two methods, you can start applying Giant Swing in place of virtually any situation where you’re likely to attack–including strange situations like during an empty jump, or after canceling his built-in sidestep throw.

If you’re a fan of wall splats and divekicks, then you’re probably also a fan King of Fighters XIV’s Mian. As Y. Xiao demonstrates in the combo video below, she has a monopoly on both.

The Bian Lian performer received a number of buffs to her “Bienkyu” divekick in the latest patch, one the most important being the increased juggle capabilities on the EX version. Between this and various damage buffs in 2.00, this mobile fighter is now also a damage beast. Be sure to catch the 4-bar 100% combo near the end!

Vanessa’s flashing swaying and street boxer style make her look fun to play, but those crazy combos she pulls off aren’t easy. Thankfully Colifowerz is here to show aspiring Vanessa players how to bring their A-game into the ring.

Speed is definitely one of Vanessa’s strong suits.  Studying her moves you can see that–for the most part–she recovers quickly, strikes fast, and can quickly change the pace of a match if you know how to use her. The balance of this lies in her execution, which is challenging yet rewarding for those willing to put in the time to master the inputs and sequences.

This basic principles and more are mapped out in Coliflowerz’ quick combo guide for Vanessa. Be sure to check it out as well as his other The King of Fighters XIV combo tutorials

With people tending to focus on whatever new games are out these days, it’s easy to forget that new things can still be found in older games, even decades later. On creator however who’s been doing a great job highlighting older games is Clayton “Final Showdown” Chapman who has returned with a new Marvel vs. Capcom 2 video.

In the video below, Final Showdown demonstrates a concept for a new infinite combo for MvC2’s Hayato. Now the loop he shows below is just a concept. There are a few other things that need to be done before it can be considered usable, such as figuring out good ways to get into the loop, as well as seeing if it deals enough damage in the long run before the game’s loop killing “undizzy” system hits. That said, the combo itself looks promising, and we can likely expect it to appear in one of Final Showdown’s combo videos in the future.
