Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 has been enjoying a nice resurgence of popularity, partly due to the release on PlayStation 4, along with the announcement of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. The community has always been active and doing its best to grow, but news like that undoubtedly helps expand interest.

In the face of this new interest, we’re seeing more content popping up on YouTube for the game, some of which you can see below. Here we have a hectic Jill CMV by Hailet Lo’Rain, featuring the S.T.A.R.S. agent going berserk on her opponents. There are enough side-switching antics and kooky interactions to make anyone’s headspin, but just wait till you see what she does to Nemesis.

In Super Smash Bros., using your shield mere frames before an attack hits activates what’s known as a Power Shield, a shield that parries melee attacks and reflects projectiles back in the direction of the attacker. Though virtually every high-level Smash player is aware of this technique, sometimes they get a rude reminder of just how effective Power Shielding can be.

In their latest video compilation, Mr.Pickle255 accumulates 10 insane Power Shield situations from several Super Smash Bros. Melee matches. Top Players like Ice, Armada, Leffen, Frootloop and Darkrain make appearances in the clip. A particular Power Shield from one of these players brings Smash commentator D1 to the brink of tears, but you’ll have to watch the video to see who. Check it out below and subscribe to Mr.Pickle255 for more Super Smash Bros. lists and compilations.

Far less represented in combo videos lately, Dead or Alive 5 Last Round still has great possibilities and flexibility for combos. Especially with the tag team feature, you can see a lot of interesting things.

In this video, we see female ninjas Kasumi and Momiji in quite the combo demonstration. With as many juggles as a Tekken combo video, these two carry their opponents for a long while. With as amazing combos as this–and this only hinting at more–this is sure to tantalize your senses.

Majorboy has been a major threat in Street Fighter V the whole time. He has the execution and the mind games that makes Ibuki viable, and makes it work effectively enough to be ranked high within the online scene.

Fortunately, December proved to be a season of giving for Majorboy, as Ibuki received solid buffs to make her game plan even more solid. Reaping the benefits of this, Majorboy has become an even more sinister player, as can be evidenced by this compilation of his online matches.

Whether they are considered weak, low tier, poorly designed or are just plain unlikable personality-wise, there are certain characters in every fighting game that leave a sour taste in your mouth and makes you wonder why they are on the character select screen to begin with. With so many fighting games out in the wild these days, there’s bound to be a bad apple or two could that potentially be a waste of a character slot.

WatchMojo.com has compiled a top 10 list of who they consider the worst fighting game characters; characters from popular series such as Street Fighter, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat as well ones from more obscure fighters such as Sonic the Fighters, Shaq-Fu and Rise of the Robots are represented in this video. Their number-one pick for worst character is actually quite surprising and amusing.

It’s time for a combo video featuring that king (queen?) of horror, the Alien. This character has seen play at the highest level from the likes of Echo Fox’s Sonic Fox, and still has a lot of viability nowadays. Watch as it tears its opponents limb from limb in this video that features its Tarkatan variation. Primarily consisting of corner combos, it’s still is a great display of execution for the character.

The Super Smash Bros. for Wii U modding community is one of the more active modding communities in fighting games as a whole, and they always seem to be coming up with some really neat mods. We just recently had the Wicke mod–from Pokémon Sun and Moon–and now we get to see a particularly well-done Mega Man mod.

This addition of Bass sees some really nice attention to detail, particularly the texture of the gold bits of Bass’ armor. The mod also sees the Buster effects altered, as well as alterations to Megaman’s up-B–replacing Mega Man’s companion Rush with Bass’ companion Treble. The most stunning effect has to be to the Final Smash, which normally sees various iterations of Mega Man from different games jump in to aid him in his fight. Bass’ Final Smash sees several villains, such as Vile, Bass.EXE, Juno, and Rogue join him instead.

You can download the mod for yourself here.

Pokkén Tournament has regularly been on the edge of our radar; the similarities to Tekken allows for this game to have quite the open combo system, as well as heavy juggles that allow you to extend your combos.

Today, Gengar steps out of the dark and into the limelight. The ghost Pokémon becomes even more ghastly with the number of hits he piles into these two amazing combo videos.
