Brush Up on Your Super Smash Bros. Melee Matchup Knowledge: Fox vs. Falcon, & More

Knowledge is power, when it comes to any fighting game. The better you know your character, and the better you know the match-up, the more likely you are to come out on top. It helps competitively, but it can also make spectating more enjoyable.

With this in mind, the folks over at SSBM Tutorials put together this detailed Fox vs. Falcon match-up video. This video covers a lot of Falcon’s options in neutral, as well as recovery and post-shield and pressure options. Study up so you can better handle any Falcons that come your way.

If you enjoyed this, SSBM Tutorials have other similar videos on their channel. There is a Falco vs. Marth guide, like the one above, but there are also more general guides about how to deal with specific characters like Shiek or Ice Climbers.

SSFC2016 Brings More Arcade Action with Fighters History Dynamite, Kenju Tournaments

SSFC2016, Mikado’s multi-game tournament series, continues! Just like last time, Mikado is showing off more 2D footsie-based action, and unreleased curiosities.

If you look through Data East’s back catalog, you’ll find quite a few odd fighting gems. The best known of these, perhaps, is Fighter’s History, a fighting game series that ties in to Data East’s peculiar mascot, Karnov. Fighter’s History Dynamite is the much-improved sequel of the series, and you can learn a little more about it’s mechanics on SRK’s Wiki.

As before with “FORCE FIVE,” “Kenju” is a cancelled fighter for Sammy’s Atomiswave. The 2005 project looks a little more rough around the edges mechanically then the previous Sammy entry, but seeing Japanese players spar in uncharted territory is always a treat. Kenju appears to have been aiming for the anime market, as evidenced by heavy air dash based movement and chain combo system. [We also featured Kenju in a previous article. – Editor]

As always, you can follow along Mikado’s upload schedule on YouTube, or try to catch them live on their UStream.
