Get More of Xyzzy’s Amazing Birdie with This Street Fighter V Ranked Match Compilation

If there’s one new name that’s caught the eyes of many these past few weeks, it has to be Xyzzy. The Korean newcomer put on an amazing show with Birdie at both South East Asia Major’s main and amateur tournaments before doing it again at SoCal Regionals this past weekend.

That said, before this, Xyzzy was already dominating online, even making an appearance in top 8 of the online qualifiers for ESL’s Brooklyn Beatdown. More recently, he’s been on a tear through ranked where he now sits at #2 right behind Evil Geniuses’ Momochi.

For those wanting to see more of Xyzzy’s Birdie, RektScrub has put together a compilation of some of his matches online from the past few months. These include matches against other top players, including the angry one himself, Team Secret’s Poongko.

Up Your Ledge Guard Game with Instant Ledge Trumping in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Smash has to be the number-one community for finding new complicated tech in their game. New ways of playing are constantly being presented, from things like better ledge guarding setups to completely new control methods. It’s honestly impressive!

Today, we are presented with yet another step in leveling up your Smash 4 game, courtesy of the Beefy Smash Doods. This tech is another ledge guarding method, named Instant Ledge Trumping. As the name suggests, this tech has characters instantly tethering to the ledge, to lead into a ledge trump back-air or to simply bait opponents into another risky off stage position. Only specific characters who have a tether can use this, of course. Check out the video below for a full description, as well as some example applications.
