Kula has frozen herself on the high end of the tier list in The King of Fighters XIV, and she is finding herself a staple of many high level teams. She is capable of playing the rush down and zoning game, and deals out copious amounts of damage when she has the opportunity open up.

In the Combonauts’ latest combo video, she shows off a lot of the latter. In some very situational setups, she shows that she can deal well above 75% damage to the cast, and skates through it in relative ease.

One of the keys of landing massive damage at the end of a game of The King of Fighers XIV–especially if you are facing your anchor against your opponent’s anchor–is through advanced cancels. This mechanic–which allows you to cancel your super into another for the cost of two bars–relies heavily on meter, but allows you to get close to or actually kill very easily.

With the 1.12 update, it’s important to know what options your character has for Advanced Cancelling. Here’s a video that showcases the wide range of advanced cancels in the game, minus Angel and Vice–who both lack the mechanic.

While Sega hasn’t been doing much with their Virtua Fighter intellectual property, we have least been fortunate to see how characters from the series would play in a different 3D fighter. With several of them making a cameo appearance in Koei Tecmo’s Dead or Alive 5 Last Round, we can only hope that their appearances can help spark an interest in a Virtua Fighter 6.

For now, let’s look at this Sarah Bryant combo video in DOA5LR. She shows off what she can do in the system, including some nasty stage-specific combos. She also has a plethora of power launcher combos, something that has no real comparison in Virtua Fighter.

K’ is a strong character that continues to stay relevant throughout The King of Fighters series. He does more of the same in The King of Fighters XIV, setting fire to his competitors left and right.

In this combo video from the Combonauts, K’s combo prowess is on full display. While there are indeed a few situations that are impractical, such as catching a jumping opponent full screen in Max Mode or hitting on the tip of a whiffed DP, the combos here are extraordinary and show off fully what he can do.

Marvel fans have been enjoying themselves quite a bit lately; in the fervor that arose from the Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite fans have been casually going back and getting into the older Marvel titles.

One such Marvel fan is jmcrofts, who has been making it a habit to learn older games and make videos about them. This time around he tackles Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, which had the 2v2 system that’ll be returning in MVC:I. What we see jmcrofts doing here is mostly learning about the game, he will be returning with actual sets he plays with his newfound knowledge.

Melee players, many at the top level complain about chronic wrist and hand pain, brought on by years of competition by playing with the Gamecube controller.

Whether you are a professional fighting game player, a casual tournament goer or someone who just plays games a lot, these stretches are worth trying if you are experiencing any discomfort while playing for extended periods.

For the longest time, many have rated Ness as better than Lucas in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tier list. With top representatives like FOW, the best back throw in the game and great combos off of grab, many considered the original psychic child to be the better Earthbound character.

However, with the steady decline of Ness mains and the growing number of Lucas mains, opinion is starting to shift in Lucas’ favor. In his latest character analysis video, TSM|ZeRo seems to agree with this, stating that Lucas has better recovery options compared to Ness, a better grab game due to his footstool combos off of down throw and a better neutral game, thanks to his zair and PK Fire.

ZeRo also feels that Lucas has more potential to grow as a fighter–thanks to his amazing grab game–while Ness’ simplicity will ultimately limit his further development as a viable character
