It appears as though T. Hawk got tired of diving at people, and just wants to focus his ki energy on chucking plasma instead. It also seems as though Zangief got tired of bears and went after birds instead — spinning birds, that is.
With these move swaps created by the great Bob Sagat, the natural look of every single one looks like it could easily be another Rainbow Edition in the making. Whether or not anyone will take this further than this or not, it’s enjoyable to see a fresh coat of paint on the characters.

GameSpot Versus and their weekly East vs. West battle is one of the most notable events to watch for a Super Street Fighter II Turbo fan. With top players and unique play styles, this event always delivers on hype.
This week’s event did just that — not only in names such as Tomo and TMF, but in character diversity. This tournament’s featured characters are those that rarely see the light of day in competition, such as Boxer and O. Honda. We also see a rare glimpse of O. Sagat — a character that is “soft banned” in Japan, but completely legal in the west.
Omen of Sorrow‘s Erzébet Bathory was always a likely choice for the first DLC character: she features somewhat prominently in its story mode and was one of the most requested characters upon release. Her announcement today as the first of AOne Games’s “Season 1” DLC characters may not be a surprise, but the fact that she’s absolutely free, is:
Omen of Sorrow – Free Season 1 Characters Announcement
On top of that, AOne Games intends to release all future DLC characters for free, as well. It’s pure speculation, but the glyph graphic at the end of Erzébet’s trailer above indicates that we have three more DLC characters on the way. Not bad!
With the release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — and the recovery frames added to exiting shield — powershielding has become less pragmatic. But the newly-found parry mechanic out of shield has gained massive prominence thanks to the frame advantage — similar to Street Fighter III‘s parry system — given to you if you execute it.
With the input window of the parry being tight, ZeRo explains exactly how the system works, and even gives pointers on how to practice it before taking it up against real opponents. He also explains that it is not necessarily a mechanic you want to abuse on every single move, but will help you take advantage of the depth of the Ultimate system.
Daybreak has released a new developer diary series for PlanetSide Arena. In this episode, Lead Designer Tony Morton shines the spotlight on the classes that players can expect in the upcoming battle royale when it launches on January 29th.
Due to having to visit his family for the holidays earlier than expected, rooflemonger has had to unfortunately cut his 12 Days of DBFZ Tech-Mas series a few days short, but has still provided us with a stocking stuffed with some great Dragon Ball FighterZ tech and tidbits.
First up, are some post-Super Dragon Rush setups for Bardock, utilizing Super Jump Installs that can dramatically increase the Low-Class Saiyan warrior’s damage output before landing a Snapback. However, it is corner-exclusive.
Next, we have some blockstring pressure from everyone’s favorite Super Saiyan 3 Fused rat-boy, Gotenks!
Moving on, we’ve got some fantastic mid-screen combos and Saibamen resets for the Great Nappa, most of which are now only possible due to his recent buffs in last month’s balance patch. However, this does require Gotenks’s Galactic Doughnut Assist and only works with the Medium Saibamen.
To continue, rooflemonger brings us some unseeable, unreachable mixups with Earth’s strongest human Krillin, utilizing his Level 3, Scattering Energy Wave.
For the abrupt finale of Tech-Mas, we have some optimal corner combos for Super Saiyan Vegeta utilizing multiple reps of his Interceptor Kick, as well as some Android 16 block strings, and a “Christmas Miracle” for Broly that’s sure to brighten your day.
You can also check out the first three Days of Tech-Mas, which featured Broly corner pressure setups, a Fused Zamasu tag glitch, and some Android 21 mixup options after her air Level 3, thanks to buffs in the recent patch.
Blizzard has pushed out what can only be said to be an amazing video showcasing all of its game worlds and how fans / players are united through them. It’s an emotional look at a company that has created some of the most beloved games of all time.
Have you been wondering what happened to your main in Street Fighter V, but reading patch notes is too tedious and you haven’t had time to step into the lab yourself? Thankfully, the UK FGC has you covered.
In a recent onslaught of uploads from Tyrant and Packz of Frame Advantage, you now have a way to visually watch what the changes did to your character. They also cite what they feel like were bad design choices by Capcom and what they feel like were fair changes. This 34-video playlist covers every character.
