#103: Red Bull Conquest Oct 18, 2018

Show notes

T-Minus two days before Soul Calibur VI finally hits the shelves and the hands of the FGC. Dead or Alive Festival will have a new build ready. But before then, we have Crashtag and StaticGorilla going over Red Bull Conquest as the Philadelphia Event has passed in the World Warrior Segment. Injustice 2 had a few characters on deck that unfortunately didn't make the cut, including a demon that like's to rhyme. Crashtag gives a final look at his custom built stick from our friends at iFixRetro.
We saw last week as EchoFox started cutting ties with some prevalent names in the FGC, but a certain couple has been cut without any official statement. One of Philadelphia's best players finds a home on a new team and who says you have to wait till Dead or Alive has to release to enjoy some Tina and Hitomi action on this week's Modz.

#102: Speculation Station Oct 11, 2018

Show notes

The dry season is kinda still upon us here in the FGC, but that doesn't mean we can't get some interesting conversations this week. The Muscle duo themselves (Bass, and Tina) are announced alongside DOA5 favorite Mila bringing DOA6 to 17 characters so far. The footage was taken down during last week's episode but Inferno has made it's way to the stage of history with the official trailer finally released, but is he a Weapon Master?
The dreaded 8-frame input lag is being addressed by Capcom but Crashtag doesn't think it's enough for the game's flaws. Fantasy Strikes adds a visual that teaches you the way of Frame Advantage. EchoFox cleans up house dropping certain players and a lesson is taught by StaticGorilla in this week's Focus Attack. Ever notice how Mr.Satan and Nappa look alike? We didn't either until we saw this week's Mod-Highlights!

Show notes

After a long haul of 100 episodes. Static G and Mezza kick the new season off with episode 101! Time to teach a lesson to the community! Least that is what 101 sounds like. This week being a little bit smaller in comparison it still packs a punch as the team invest quite a bit of time talking about E-Leagues Smash Ultimate invitational that will air on TBS.
Mezza brings up some key points about the 1st qualifer for top 8 of WOG. Static G tries to decipher the Inferno footage that was taken down. Fighting Ex Layer gets a steam version and its bringing a lot of focus on it rather then the Playstation 4 version. In the Randoms Of The FGC sagetech on twitter finds some interesting fun with Cooler's Counter Super. Omen of Sorrow Pre-Order is now hot off the press!
Of course a Focus Attack ain't a Focus Attack with out something to jog your brain. Mezza talks indepth his experiences with Soul Calibur VI Online beta and his early impressions. Mods are still booming and The JAMK, Ultima647, and OniFox return with a few goodies.
