In their own words
Dustloop
Dustloop is a free, publicly editable web wiki about competitive air-dashing fighting games, mainly titles from Arc System Works. Its instructional pages cover movement, defense, frame data and character attributes, with the aim of helping players improve. Listed games include Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, DNF Duel, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Remaster. A general strategy section discusses ideas such as rushdown, turtling, frame traps and offensive fuzzy guard for readers who understand basic game mechanics. Pages support matchup search and patch or version filters. Dustloop runs on MediaWiki and is written in English. Users can create an account; most pages become editable after the account has existed for 24 hours. The community-funded and operated site links to a Discord and community portal. Dustloop says it is unofficial and not endorsed by or affiliated with featured developers. Its history traces back to gamecombos.com and a move to the Dustloop domain in 2006.
MetaTFT
MetaTFT provides Teamfight Tactics statistics, data, and tools on the web and through a Windows desktop app. The app runs on Overwolf and can respond to events during a match. Its current-meta comps include board and positioning information, leveling and rolling guidance, and unit, item, counter, and performance details. Live scouting displays lobby player tags and recent games to help identify playstyles and likely comps. Match history records round-by-round details such as position, health, economy, experience, boards, and screenshots. Early game comps are available in the app; Patrons can also access them on the website. After a Riot policy change, MetaTFT stopped displaying augment statistics and describes an expert-maintained tier list instead. Win Chance estimates the chance of winning a round using a neural network trained on hundreds of thousands of rounds. The model does not account for positioning or crowd control, and its page reports 75% correct winners on a validation dataset. The free plan costs nothing. Membership plans cost $3 a month, $5 a month, and $10 a month, billed plus VAT; the listed page does not show their benefits.
