Ultra Street Fighter IV Decapre Combo Video

Been having a lot of fun lately with this evil Cammy clone. In this combo video, I explore a bit more towards intermediate to advanced territory, as I try and make use of her tougher links. I even manage to build on my crouching medium kick into heavy Rapid Dagger combo to create something even sexier. Check it out!

DC Comics Deck-Building Game: Crisis Expansion Review

The latest entry in the DC Comics Deck-Building Game franchise is Crisis Expansion Pack 1. This expansion is compatible with the main game and Heroes Unite, though it cannot be played on its own. By adding this expansion to your collection, you’ll get new heroes, new main deck cards, and new cards to support Crisis Mode. This new gameplay variant turns this competitive deck-building game into a cooperative one by forcing players to collectively fight through adverse gameplay events in order to defeat the villains and super-villains before time runs out. Having this as an alternative to competitive play makes a lot more thematic sense, as it was bothersome before to think that the heroes would intentionally hurt each other in order to be the better hero. However, the execution of this gameplay variant leaves a lot to be desired.

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: Blanka (EnigmaMount) vs Rose (jettFTW)

Most Blanka players rely heavily on shenanigans to score victories. Here, EnigmaMount systematically picks my Rose apart by letting me rush in and punishing all of my mistakes. This one one of the most sobering matches I’ve played in recent memory.

Some Nights

Some nights, when I’m playing Ultra Street Fighter IV online, I feel like I’m invincible. There are sessions where I go the entire evening without losing a match. Most of the time, I’ll win about 80% of my matches. In the grand scheme of things, that’s still amazing. Most recently, I had a miracle run with Decapre, where I took the character from 2,000 BP to 10,000 BP in two weeks. For context, I’ve played as Akuma on-and-off for years in the Street Fighter IV series and never got higher than 5,000 BP.

Last night was not one of those nights. In fact, it was easily my worst night ever in Ultra Street Fighter IV.

Ultra Street Fighter IV battle: El Fuerte (jettFTW) vs Balrog (IfretDginn)

Despite the fact that El Fuerte is arguably the most hated character in the cast, I’ve been a fan of his since the original Street Fighter IV. His fighting style is so unorthodox and reliant on good reads that it really takes a special player to make the most of him. I’ve noodled around with the character off-and-on since then, and never really got anywhere with him.

Inspired by Pepeday winning the Ultra Street Fighter IV Tokyo Game Show tournament with El Fuerte, I picked the character up again to see if I could make anything of it. Clearly, I have a long way to go, but at least with Pepeday making some noise on the scene, I’ve got something to aim for.

The Board Game Night Playlist: Intro to Board Games

Ticket to Ride 10th Anniversary Edition BoardWelcome to the Board Game Night Playlist! In what will hopefully grow into an ongoing series, I put together a playlist of games that you could use for your next board game night. Ideally, each playlist is created with the thought that all of the games on the list could be played within an evening of gaming. Also, I’d like for each playlist to contain some sort of thread that ties them together. For instance, I want to make playlists that are tuned for specific player counts, themes, gameplay mechanics or other logical through lines to make the most out of your next session.

This first playlist was inspired by a board game night we had with Mat and his now-fiancée Liza. Neither of them had played board games in years, with most of their experience coming from playing mainstream hits like Monopoly or Scrabble. What set of games could we pull together that were equal parts fun and accessible? Our picks out to be excellent choices, as we had a great night and inspired Mat and Liza to seek out more great board game experiences for themselves. This first playlist is the exact lineup of games we played that fateful night. If you’re hosting a board game night with newcomers, or are new to the medium yourself, try out this introductory playlist!
