Learn to Control Ms. Fortune’s Separate Parts with This Skullgirls Encore Combo and Reset Guide

In a game full of interesting characters, Ms. Fortune arguably ranks near the top of the weirdness chart in Skullgirls Encore. Her ability to detach her head in the middle of a fight allows the feline combatant to chain together some furious combos and resets that can deal catastrophic damage.

That said, being able to pull these combos off isn’t easy. To help new players out, Skippy McYay recently put together a tutorial video that teaches players how to beat down their opponents when Fortune is in separate pieces. Apart from the combos, they also demonstrate how to properly use her cranium to head off any reversal or escape attempts.

Learn How to Turn Little Mac Into a Washout With Mario With This Highlight Video from Brawl Karter

Brawl Karter is back with another Mario highlight video for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS. This time however, his video focuses on on particular match up in general, that against Little Mac.

Little Mac is currently considered one of the best, if not outright the best character for the game’s competitive For Glory mode. This is due to the fact that the flat “Omega” versions of the stages used in this mode favor Little Mac’s heavily ground based game.

This highlight video then demonstrates how Mario can be used as a counter-pick for Little Mac, using his FLUDD as a way to overcome the latter’s advantage on the ground.

Desk Showcases Precision Link Combos With Akuma in Ultra Street Fighter IV

Combo video genius Desk is back once again with another Ultra Street Fighter IV combo video designed to make you doubt your own executional prowess. This time, he showcases combos for Akuma that feature multiple links with very strict timing.

The combos shown here work because Desk is delaying certain normals in a way so that it’s the tail end of their active frames hit, similar to how you’d do a meaty attack on wakeup. By doing this, he allows Akuma to recover quicker which means that he’s free to extend the combos.

Check the video out below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Nintendo to Implement Pre-Download Functionality with Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

ssb4-wiiu-pacmankirby-622-crop

During a recent briefing on the end of their current financial year, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced that they will be rolling out a pre-download service on both Wii U and 3DS in the near future. As the name would suggest, this functionality will allow players to download and install a large portion of a digitally pre-ordered game before its official launch date, therefore alleviating stress on the company’s servers for big titles and helping fans get their hands on digital versions much faster than was previously possible.

Nintendo has chosen Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as the first game to take advantage of this new service, which is perhaps the best way to test it outside of a Mario title due to the series’ immense popularity.

Iwata also mentioned that the service will be accessible via download cards sold at physical retails.

As higher internet speeds can be rather pricey, this is also a great way to cater to those with slower download speeds and help them jump into new games much sooner.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is scheduled to launch in North America on November 21, with releases planned for Europe and Japan on November 28 and December 6, respectively. No details have been shared as to when it will be available to pre-order digitally.
