Any character that has stances in a game can be very difficult to play intelligently, especially for newcomers to fighting games. (Part of that is why Gen was always considered lower in the tiers in Street Fighter IV, despite Razer|Xian’s artful usage of the character to win Evo 2013.)

BlazBlue has a couple of these characters, including Kagura. Here’s a tutorial on how to properly utilize his dive stances to maximize your success with the character: there is a huge difference between him and other stance characters, in that he can cancel his stance changes easily just by hitting 4D in order to mix up his opponents–however, his stance cancel has been slowed down since Chronophantasma. Also, one big thing to note that the video goes over is that Kagura cannot enter the same stance twice in a combo or blockstring, so it is important to train yourself on picking and choosing your stances properly.

We haven’t seen too much Street Fighter V footage of Echo Fox’s Momochi lately–but considering his track record, it’s hard to doubt that he’s staying at the top of his game. In this footage that seems to confirm that statement as fact, Momochi reappears in Street Fighter V online Ranked matches and unleashes a Ken that’s looking mightier than ever.

Just as he made the transition from Street Fighter IV to Street Fighter V Ken, Momochi has adjusted to Season 2’s Ken rather well. With the year and season still being relatively young, it’ll be interesting to see what kind of damage he does in 2017 under the Echo Fox banner.

One of the toughest things to accomplish in Super Smash Bros. Melee is a proper recovery from getting knocked off the stage. This problem is even further exacerbated by the dreaded edgeguard: when your opponent grabs the edge for a handful of frames to make you fall right through to your death.

However, there is a way to circumvent their devious efforts to make you plummet. If you perform an ASDI fast fall technique, as showcased in this tutorial video, then you can make it onto the stage without their edgeguard blocking you. While this technique is most useful with Marth or Sheik, it is still useful across the cast.

Smug is the hot new player on the scene. While we have known for a long time how strong he is with his Dudley in the Street Fighter IV series, he is now completely hitting his stride and dominating every tournament he appears in. Not only that, but he consistently sits either #1 or #2 on the CFN leaderboard. People have had great difficulty dispatching him, including Echo Fox’s Justin Wong and Evil Geniuses’ K-Brad.

With the younger players struggling with Smug’s Balrog, it’s now time for the veterans to take their shot. Who better in America to test Smug’s mettle than Alex Valle? Valle is still known as a giant killer, always taking care of business when it’s crunch time against the world’s best. So can his Ryu stand up to Smug?

Fox vs. Sheik is a very commom match in Super Smash Bros. Melee. However there are so many high-level intricacies involved in the match that–to the untrained eye–may seem trivial.

This is why prestigious Fox main Armada has decided to analyze a match at Genesis 4 between TSM|Leffen and Plup. In this video, he goes over many of the spacing intricacies and mind games involved in selecting options to approach each other. He also discusses some of the stage picks after the initial game, and why Leffen ultimately fell to Plup in the match.

With Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (all but officially) getting into Evo 2017 for its final year thanks to the Player’s Choice vote, everyone is getting inspired to get back into the game. As such, we have here a great ten-minute combo video featuring Dormammu, Nova, and Shuma Gorath that shows off some amazing stuff.

While this video mainly focuses on Dormammu, it showcases great synergy between the three characters. It also shows how much versatility and synergy Dormammu actually has, showing his ability to get lots of combo extensions off of Chaotic Flame into Stalking Flare.

There’s no secret that the Fighting Game Community has had rivalries throughout the years. The East Coast and West Coast has perennially been rivals, along with various players carrying personal grudges. There has also always been an Asia vs. America rivalry, that has gone on since Daigo Umehara first stepped onto this continent to face Alex Valle.

But since esports has taken over in the FGC, things look more tame to Michael Martin. After the back-and-forth between Smug and EG|K-Brad last week–as well as the subsequent reaction to it–Michael Martin poses the question of whether we need more of this sort of thing in the latest episode of “I Got Next.”
