The folks at Smash and Grab released their latest Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tutorial earlier today. This new collection of footage highlights the abilities and strategic options of Corrin, one of the game’s final two downloadable characters.
True, Corrin released quite a while ago, but Smash and Grab produce tutorials that are quite a bit more than a simple list of how-to-play instructions. If you’ve seen their previous guides, you know that they draw inspiration from the highlighted character’s game (or series) of origin to create content that is both informative and entertaining.
If you’re looking to pick up ways to apply every move in Corrin’s arsenal and have a good time doing it, you’ll not want to miss this video.
The Diablo 3 team is ready to unleash Season 6 but not before Season 5 comes to an end. For players who have not experienced season game play, an informational video has been released to give the wrap report. Check it out and be prepared!
Dark Souls is a tough series and beating it, or even a single boss, is a mark of pride. In the lead-up to the launch of Dark Souls 3, our RPG columnist has spent his week considering just what people love about the game and why others find it just so impenetrable. Dark Souls is one of the last bastions of truly challenging gameplay and that shouldn’t change. But for some, an easy mode might be just the trick.
Yes, it’s April Fools’ Day Eve. The jokes and pranks have already begun. Gaming companies just love to taunt their players with well-played tricks and silly jokes to celebrate the day. We have started our annual compilation and will update it throughout the day tomorrow. As a news editor…well, yeah…April Fools’ Day. But YOU enjoy!
As you’ve certainly noticed, we at Shoryuken enjoy rounding up footage of new characters and new games upon their release. These roundups often feature combos, setups, and various other tactics to help the community grow as a whole. However, in this most recent build of Street Fighter V, we’ve seen enough odd goings-on to warrant putting together the first roundup dedicated entirely to in-game oddities that will certainly result in some head scratching.
First, we have a video showcasing a strange move interaction. Alex’s standing roundhouse moves him forward a good bit before becoming active. It goes without saying that this sort of movement adds extra functionality to the move under specific circumstances, but all of those circumstances may not be intended. In the case of this video, from HeruButterfly, Vega performs a reversal timing EX Flying Barcelona on wakeup, in this case moving him forward slightly as well.
If timed correctly, Alex can perform a standing roundhouse on top of Vega as he does his wakeup and pass through the masked fighter, putting his roundhouse’s massive hitbox into a cross-up positioning and resulting in a crush counter. The timing isn’t terribly strict, but if mistimed it can result in either Alex losing outright or phasing harmlessly through the rising attack.
There’s a good chance this isn’t the only interaction of this kind for the standing roundhouse, but more testing is required.
Vryu123 found a couple of oddities in this build of the game as well. The first involves a shift in frame advantage following an EX projectile depending on which side of the stage the exchange takes place.

The same sort of situation arises directly following a blocked stand short from the Brazilian fighter as well. Any number of things could cause this interaction–likely a hitbox/hurtbox interaction–but as it stands, all we know is that these sorts of inconsistencies shouldn’t exist in a game designed for competition.
Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to figuring out how dragonballjoseph wound up in this sitaution. When taking Alex into easy Survival Mode to unlock a new color, they were met with a screen that was entirely black aside from the HUD. Looks like Survival Mode just got a lot more difficult.
We wrap things up with another video from dragonballjoseph, which offers a quick look at Ken’s newest color: active camouflage.
This is where we would suggest you send us your own buggy findings, but hopefully there aren’t enough to warrant a second roundup of this sort. We’ll have to see!
