7loco put together a seriously beautiful combo video for their new Ori Community Montage.

The 4th installment of the Rivals community Discord Combo Contest (ran by Pantch) is under way. This time it’s bigger than ever with a $250 prize pool and a sweet trailer.

Anguish has some great dev mode videos showcasing how to get started with it if you’re new, as well as some montages of his own builds.

Destination: Fight 5 took place a few weeks ago and featured some of the European scene’s best. You can find the whole top 8 on their channel.

And rounding things off with a few combo videos we liked:
