GINE, a dedicated Pikachu player since the game’s release, has been kind enough to record 30+ minutes of his arcade grinding in the latest patch for Pokkén Tournament. Pikachu, the series’s iconic mascot, received a few new attack cancel options in field phase, allowing him to make it more difficult for his opponents to close in. As evidenced by the video, GINE seems eager to explore these new attack methods, peppering them into his zoning-heavy neutral. Many of his opponents are also sporting recently buffed characters–if you’re looking for lots of footage of Scizor, Gardevoir, Mewtwo and Machamp, this is a great place to look, too!

Rivals of Aether is a very interesting indie fighter. It draws much inspiration from the Super Smash Bros. playbook, but a lot of the characters and play styles function in their own unique fashion. Combined with the entertaining sprite style and animations, RoA is certainly a worthwhile game to watch and play.

Today, YouTuber ThirstyWench, along with Phazed, puts together this collaborative combo music video using Orcane (the water-based whale-puppy thing). This video showcases some crazy neutral into surprising kill confirms, as well as interesting teleport shenanigans. This cheeky play is edited to the beat of the song, too, making it quite the show!

Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel is becoming an increasingly popular game for combo videos. Its double assist mechanics and loose inputs allow for similar combo flexibility to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Skullgirls 2nd Encore; if you add the amount of synergy that each character has with multiple assists, it makes this game magical for combos.

In this video, Ignis from the visual novel game Jingai Makyou steps up to slice and dice through foes. She has some powerful combos, including several super combos and cancels that extend the pain for quite a while.

Geese Howard is one of the poster boys of the King of Fighters series; the perennial villain typically hits like a truck while usually being fairly easy for newer players to pick up and learn the game with.

This guide will help you out with learning Geese, and getting to the core of his dark side. While you learn some of his best anti airs–such as standing D and close standing C–it also teaches you more about how to use his counter specials, as well as his most damaging combos.

As the top ranked Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player in the world, TSM|ZeRo’s opinions on the scene, and more relevantly the game, are always a topic of interest. He regularly shares his insight–hoping to help more players improve at the game themselves–and uploads videos with such content regularly.

He has talked about the competitive viability of many characters; this video features Greninja, who he thinks may be seeing a rise as players get his complex tech down. Don’t think Greninja can compete in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U? Water you saying? Shuriken!

If you enjoyed that, he has a playlist with more of his similarly-themed character discussion videos. You can watch that playlist here.

There has been a lot of concern about Chun-Li in Street Fighter V Season 2: with a lot of nerfs–including to her air game, with the frame disadvantage of instant air Lightning Legs–she hasn’t seen as much in the way of top 8 play since the update.

There is one person that aims to be the naysayer to her critics, and that is Nuki. He has played Chun-Li in every possible iteration of Street Fighter, and he doesn’t seem concerned at all with her nerfs. In this compilation, he shows that she is still very dangerous. Featuring a lot of comebacks, a double perfect, and a very clutch performance against r/Kappa|John Takeuchi’s Rashid, this video is exemplary of what Chun players need to be doing this season.

Samus Aran is a solid middle tier character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. She often sees success in the hands of Duck at the highest levels. However, her grab leaves a lot to be desired. Despite its longer range than most, its recovery if you miss is painfully slow, making it easy to punish.

However, if you were able to extend the range further, it becomes less likely to miss… and that’s exactly what you can do with this glitch. If you push down while hitting Z for the grab, you will extend your throw range slightly with Samus. However, if you lose a stock, the glitch resets and you have to repeat it.

The King of Fighters XIV features a very diverse and interesting cast of charcters, and Chinese Opera singer Mian is one of them. The character was made memorable by AS|Reynald at SoCal Regionals, playing her as battery and putting Xiaohai into losers bracket.

In this combo video, we see this expert-level character do some insanely damaging combos. While it mostly features Mian sticking to the ground, there are some instances of her taking to the sky, showing how her dive kicks can combo into each other in Max mode.
