#128: That Look Like Marvel May 24, 2019

Show notes

Arcsys has jumped off the deep end and decided they will one up NRS when it comes to patching as the team goes in to a deep dark void of when buffing gets out of hand. In the fighters corner there is talk of Soulcalibur VI Season Pass creation equipment being available. GrandBlue Fantasy Versus gets its first live battle content with Daigo vs Fuudo. StunFest special invite event has a winner and it seems like the character was a little unexpected. SnK also celebrates Samurai Showdown with a very Mini, Mini, Mini Cab. SonicFox talks the Mortal Kombat 11 tango tier list.
Mezza talks indepth about BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle patch 1.5. The update with Seth, Teddie, and heart as they come off very easy but scary. The Randoms of the FGC has some awesome yet intriguing things going on. Static G gets a sponsorship, Capcom receives a massive Ken guide, Pac mans birthday statue and a lot more. Of course plug and play comes around this week as Mezza gives you the speakers and the monitor to boost your gaming experience just a tad bit further.

Show notes

With all the talk about Samurai Showdown and Power Rangers the DoubleTap team leaps into action as they hit us with the real patches that went under the radar or did they? With Dragonball FighterZ stepping up to a new patch CrashTag drives the notation that patches are happening. From the game changing drastically to silent unreasonable buffs to Android 17. Bandai & Arcsystem will be caught cleaning up there act in this episode. SnK loads us up with beyond expected 44 minutes of gameplay that has the team pretty astounded. NetherRealms doesn't skip a beat with leaving people speechless or having more to say about the story and new characters shown in their trailer.
Reintroducing Noob Saibot to the community with slight designs the team also hears the fortification of displeasing feelings of the fans or rather community. Namco gives us Amy the rapier apprentice with Mezza even challenging big Dame to a first to five. FELX finally receives updates for Sharon the gun wielder and Terry "Wild Wolf" Bogard. Capcom reunites us with Kenji from Red Earth and Static Gorilla is mesmerized by the attention to detail.

#121: No Assists Mar 22, 2019

Show notes

This week's show is full of some new blood. Dragonball FighterZ shows the next DLC character, GT Goku! Power pole equipped, and hopefully a hidden super that involves the number 4. But GT Goku isn't the freshest news, a new patch is coming within a week with buffs going to everyone. Bad characters getting good and good characters getting some new tricks. MK11 and Netherrealm just can't catch a break in leaks. Seriously, call Mario or something at this point.
Jacqui Briggs and Kotal Kahn get some sun on the Kombat Kast this week as well as their intro trailers. Eleague has a showdown ready, and if you're in the area, C2E2 will have some new characters and story in the works for MK11. Raphael's main squeeze is coming home March 26th. Make sure to check out Toushinsai's FLEX ceremonies as Sharon makes her debut in the game. Also, it's apparently over for Yugi.

#120: TWT 2019 is Back! Mar 15, 2019

Show notes

With Tekken World Tour back in action. So Are the boys of the Double Tap team as they find there way to the booth with all three like a Devil May Cry extended series. As always the boys bring in some good news and some bad but bad is never bad when talking about NetherRealms as CrashTag gives us a crash course on Mortal Kombat 11 Kotal Khan teasers along side Erron Black. Mezza gets side tracked into the world of Final Fantasy Dissidia NT and its free to play mentality. Power Rangers looking not so hot or rather hotter than its initial announcement as they show more footage and gameplay of its 3vs3 heavy hitting action.
Static Gorilla is still skeptical but the others seem a bit more on board this time around. Capcom still never seeming to impress but might have swayed some this time around as they link up with the company UNIQLO as a sponsor for Street Fighter V. The team finds themselves flipping the table and getting a bit more Esports levels with their numbers and talk in the Randoms of the FGC but they still polish it off with some good old Devil May Capcom combos. Mezza finds a slick deal websites for your everything and CrashTag finishes off with the one and only mods of the week coming in hot.
