Show notes

If you're girl wears a lot of blue, and can summon weapons to attack the opponent, that's not your girl. It's Vergil, I mean Anre. We finally see what he brings to the table before releasing on January 26th. We can an closer look to the Guilty Gear Strive offline modes in the new video but don't fall asleep or you'll miss Meitenkun's return to KOFXV.

#203: Sephiroth is not Broken and the FGC Gets a Code of Conduct Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

The Fighting Game Community has finally become a zero tolerance zone with the new code of conduct rules that are being implemented by community members. Is it safe to say Sephiroth is not as broken as expected? With no Static Gorilla around Mezza, and CrashTag take on the policies of Capcom Cup being cancelled due to covid-19. Some randoms in the fgc lead to sonicfox in full support of Skullgirls for Frosty Faustings. Lets not forget a some images of Mortal Kombat movie. A little bit of good and a little bit of bad follows.

#202: King of Fighters 15 is No Myth and is Baby Vegeta Overrated? Jan 12, 2021

Show notes

SNK gave us the double take with a delay on KOF15, only to release a trailer less than 24 hours later. Mezza and Crashtag breakdown KOF15 with it's new coat of paint and Samurai Shodown reveals it's boomerang wielding character for Season 3 Pass. Dragonball FighterZ gets a new patch on Weds, but we already have a breakdown of Super Baby 2. But is he going to be all that and a bag of Tuffles?
Garuda also makes an appearance as another costume for Akuma in Street Fighter V, but the trailer is making waves for possible nerfs in 2021. If you missed the boat or didn't know which fighting game to jump on, we got you covered in a new segment breaking down "Why you should play" on this week's show.

#201: Anji Mito flutters to 2021 and FGC-punk 2022 Talk Jan 05, 2021

Show notes

Press continue on 2020? Nah, we're in full effect with our first show of 2021! We're gearing up for upcoming news, but in the meantime Mezza and Crash take a look at Anji Mito's trailer debut for Guilty Gear Strive. Looking very true to his original gameplay, we're gonna have to wait until February to round out the 15-man roster for Strive. The best Street Fighter costumes don't even come from a mainstream game!? Street Fighter Duel concept artist has a modern take on the classic rosters that we just can't look away from.
Tough Love Arena has been jumping on our feeds and we check out what could be a fighter drawn on a piece of paper during study hall. But is it a fighting game at it's core? Now that 2020 is in our rearview mirror, what can we expected from the FGC in the future for 2021? Will invitationals become more common? Even if offline events can return, will we move away from the progression we've had with online events?

We've made it to the 200th episode! First we visit the Fighter's Corner with a brand new announement for a new fighting game, Dungeon Fighter Duel and we look forward to the character trailer for Anji Mito in Guilty Gear Strive and reflect on how Guilty Gear has truly changed over the years. Soul Calibur 6 gets many tier lists from top players and there is a calendar that lines up all the upcoming online events.
Next, in the Randoms of the FGC, a famous Marvel Vs Capcom 2 infinite combo is performed by an instrument and with a beat and we look at the latest build of Hyper Dragon Ball Z which is similar to Dragon Ball FighterZ. Then we take a look at a hottake that has got Crashtag in a frenzy. Finally, in the Focus Attack, we take a look back at the last 200 episodes, reflect and think about where we will go from here.
