Trouble with Axl Low in Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR-? Here Are Tips on How to Counter Him
Match-up knowledge is a great asset for any player in a fighting game, and when it comes to Guilty Gear Xrd -REVELATOR- mainstay Axl Low, it’s a key tool to increasing the odds. At first look, he seems like an unfair character. The time-traveling Brit doesn’t stop at having full-screen normals and specials; his arsenal includes a number of strong reversal attacks, an unblockable, and more.
Reddit user Satsuasdfg has been compiling “Counter Strategy” guides that explain characters’ tools and ways to deal with them. While they strongly recommend finding out specific punishes your main can use, they offer general tips on most of Axl’s repertoire.
For example, make sure to come up with a big punish on Axl’s dragon punch move, Benten. Since it doesn’t make Axl jump or move up closer, it’s sometimes difficult to step in for a bigger combo. As for Rensen, the green chain move with two follow-ups, air-dash YRC is a good way to beat out his options. Sol’s Bandit Bringer works great against it, and since the move has fairly long recovery, characters like Sin or Johnny can punish it fast with their own special moves.

Spin-Off “Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits” Now Available for iOS
While primarily a fighting game franchise, Street Fighter is no stranger to the puzzle game genre. Back in the 1990s, Capcom expanded the franchise with the puzzle game spin-off Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, now they’re doing so again with another new title called Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits.
Now available for iOS, Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits does a slightly different take on the puzzle genre than its predecessor. While Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo followed in the falling block genre popularized by games like Tetris, Columns, and Dr. Mario, Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits borrows from the panel based match-three system pioneered by Panel de Pon and more commonly seen in games like Bejeweled and Candy Crush Saga.
Like its predecessor, Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits changes up the genre with a few fighting game inspired mechanics, such as combos, meter building for character specific special attacks, and of course, the ability to fight other players. Those interested in how all of these play out can check out the gameplay trailers below.
Street Fighter Puzzle Spirits is out now for iOS. Interested players can download the game from the App Store.

Mai Shiranui, King of Fighters 2000 Costumes Coming to Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round on September 13
While we’ve known that the King of Fighters’ Mai Shiranui was coming to Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round, we’ve never had a concrete date for her release–until now, that is. According to DualShockers, this week’s issue of Famitsu has confirmed that the original fighting game kunoichi will be coming to DOA5 on September 13.
When she hits Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round, Mai will also be bringing with her some King of Fighters-themed goodies, in the form of a KOF 2000 costume pack. The DLC costume pack will have outfits based on Mai’s KOF 2000 teammates Yuri Sakazaki (for Ayane and Hitomi), Kasumi Todoh (for Kasumi and Momiji), and Hinako Shijo (for Honoka and Marie Rose). Like with most new DLC costumes, these will feature clothing damage–fitting, considering that SNK was one of the first companies to include this in games such as Art of Fighting and, of course, the King of Fighters.
You can check out some scans of these, as well as Mai’s own outfits in the gallery below.
