Welcome to a special episode of Double Tap with our guest Alex Jebailey!

Also, Capcom stated that there will be no Street Fighter 6 news, but we did get a glimpse into the Arcade Cabinets coming. Guilty Gear Strive announces a delay of their new character and stage. Finally, we finish the episode with rapid fire questions for Jebailey from the community and our hosts.
