#178: Do Online Tournaments Matter If I Win? Jul 21, 2020

Show notes

Crashtag and Staticgorilla are back but scraping the bottom of the barrel again in search for some fighting game news. In the Fighter's Corner, we address some rumors of a possible upcoming Smash Bros character, as well as a very obscure announcement for Samurai Shodown. Lastly, Bandai Namco hopefully will have some fighting game news but it seems unlikely. In the randoms of the FGC, we take a look at tier lists from very different players in Street Fighter V and we take a look at a discord spreadsheet that highlights your favorite video game communities. Finally, we answer a community question that we looked over but is still relevant to the online community that we are finding ourselves in.
