Fans of King of Fighters have been pretty satisfied with their latest title update. The expansive roster and the prominent tournament presence, in addition to the attentive developers releasing patches for the game, is a lot to love. Below, we rounded up just samples of what the community enjoys so much about their game.

Our first portion of the roundup consists of a few compilation videos, pieced together by 8Sin-Am. Daimon, Mature, and a Nelson compilation. There of course more such videos on his channel, if you are interested.

Next we actually have a player highlight reel, featuring Xiaohai’s performance at Canada Cup 2016. There are some intense exchanges here, it’s definitely worth a look.

We also have a combo exhibition featuring Robert, courtesy of COMBONAUTS. In addition to this exhibition we also have a short exhibition with Kukri, showcasing some cool stun combo setups with him.

In contention for the best Karin in the world (with EG’s Justin Wong), XusesGB has compiled a grand compilation for the 2D God Mago, via his match replays on the CFN. Most of these replays have Mago facing off against players from Super Platinum to Super Diamond rank, so some top-quality matches ensue in this replay collection.

Holding at 13th on the Capcom Pro Tour leaderboard and a Diamond Rank on the online rankings, Mago should be making his way to Capcom Cup in December–and will have his chance to establish himself as the top practitioner of the Kanzuki-ryu fighting style.

Being one of the top-ranked Super Smash Bros. for Wii U players in the world right now, TSM|ZeRo has been putting a lot of his extra time into teaching other people how to play the game better, and how to have a healthier competitive mindset on his YouTube channel. Today he tackles the “playing to win” mentality.

He does mention what he believes the origin of the hate for players who pick top tier characters in Smash 4 is, as the game started using Nintendo characters and was about fun initially, but this may not be the case. Those well-versed in the FGC should know about the Domination 101 articles that Seth Killian wrote over 10 years ago. This same mentality that ZeRo talks about has been present in the FGC for a very long time, with “cheap” being the go-to insult before “top tier” was a thing.
