Latest Episodes:

#89: Daytonnnaaaaa!!!! Jul 09, 2018

Show notes

Nice weather, great matches and wrestling is all anyone can ask for. Unfortunately Crashtag is not at CEO in Daytona this year but StaticGorilla has made the journey and is here to tell us all about it. But also we have plenty of trailer reveals this week as a certain Dragon Gal shows up for SNK Heroines and the Wind Princess herself storms into Soul Calibur 6. If you didn't make it to CEO to check out the current build of SC6, we have just the right Youtube video for you.
FLEX has been released over a week now and we're hearing about potential announcements at EVO 2018. The latest DBFZ tournament standings have Leffen flipping the script on his tier list with the Yamcha looking solid after Kazunoko's victory. No episode is not complete without some mods from the community. Also, did we say that we're going to EVO?

#88: The Mayor is Sworn In Jun 28, 2018

Show notes

We countdown the dates to EVO 2018, and with that the FGC is currently feeling a little calm. BlazBlue Tag Battle gets a new patch that keeps things in check just in time for CEO. Fighting EX Layer is releasing within 24 hours of the show and OG players are dusting off their arcades sticks to play. Do you need a 1080ti to run Soul Calibur 6 at 60fps? Not really but we know what will help you keep your frames high and input lag low.
The new mayor of Metro City has arrived and he's putting his political views to the streets with some elbow grease. Is Cody Travers enough to shake up the SFV game? StaticGorilla opens the book on what to do for your first tournament as he gears up to go to CEO 2018, all this and more in this week's episode of Double Tap. Also Crash has some balls for you to look at.

#87: Get Paid in Bison Dollars Jun 21, 2018

Show notes

Feels like a dead week in the FGC. Luckily for you Crashtag and Static Gorilla are here to keep your match-ups tight. SNK Heroines gets their Trophy Data leaked and shows Terry as being a playable character!? A new set of DLC characters drop for BBTAG ranging from a fighter with nine lives to a detective with killer aim. We're getting closer to the release of Fighter Ex Layer (FLEX) as a new build is ready just in time for CEO. Speaking of CEO, it's the first stop to the Dragonball FighterZ World Tour and it's right around the corner?
Who will have the most epic intro music this year? Street Fighter V takes a page from Overwatch and has lootboxes coming with the Mayor of Metro City in the next patch. What happens when an anime studio teams up with the gods of anime games? Would you participate in a tournament that would pay you with magic internet money?

#86: What the Shit Nintendo!? Jun 18, 2018

Show notes

E3 2018 is now over and the FGC is not immune to it's hype, rumors, and let downs. "Fighter's Corner" is bringing us new announcements, from characters to new releases this week. SNK Heroines gets closer to a fully released roster, is it just in time for EVO 2018 for something special? After a warmhearted farewell from Koei Tecmo earlier in 2017, the Dead or Alive series finished its support for the fifth game in the series, or so we thought. Dead or Alive 6 has been announced at E3 showing us familiar faces but with some sacrifices that might make the community a little wary but still excited to see the girls back to play rougher than ever.
Blazblue Cross Tag is now receiving it's first set of DLC characters on June 19th, even though modders have had access for a week now, it'll be everybody's turn next. Dragonball FighterZ World Tour is announced and the speculation is high as to the quick turn out for Arc Sys after "letting the community" take the reigns for only a couple months. Summit of Power has concluded and Crashtag has a heartbreaking news from Ed Boon. Nintendo has a nuke and EVERYBODY is getting hit and Future Gohan receives a mod that makes him whole again.

#85: Kool at E3 Jun 07, 2018

Show notes

Ed boon might be infecting everyone's minds as CrashTag & Mezza try to decipher his Kool message at E3. Blazblue cross tag is officially released and it didn't seem to do so well with the PC port. Rumored DLC to pop up fairly soon as well. Tekken 7 got datamined and there are possibly many DLC characters to be released. Fighting Ex layer receives a proper release date. Everyone is crying over Maxi's return and he looks older yet clean.
Vegito & Zamasu are here and making some noise as iKevinX references the manga and anime in a side by side comparison to the game. Capcom gives us a Ryu Arthur challenge skin that goes well on top of Ryu's stance and moveset. In the Randoms of the Fighting Game Community Beyond the Summit releases a pretty legit Poster. Soul Calibur hears rumors of Final Fantasy Characters announced at E3 and Terrordome: Reign of the Legends see's some light through the darkness as this indie game gets a kick starter.
In the Plug & Play the Hori Fighting Commander 3 Gamepad is talked about along side the Hori Pokken Tournament Pro Pad. Scuff Impact Honey Comb controller is a bit expensive but packs a punch as the Double Tap team talks heavily positive about it. The Focus Attack well focuses in on the MK11 possible announcements and the NetherRealms Tradition. Mod highlights showcase Vergil DMC4 by Mazinilya, Zamasu gets his own Kai pack by Lavish and Future Gohan is armless but classy by Nemix.

#83: It's about the Community May 25, 2018

Show notes

Sunny day means a good day for the DoubleTap team as there aren't a large amount of updates but their is still a good amount of interesting things in the air. In the "Fighter's Corner" Arcsystemworks put out a new release trailer for Blazblue Cross Tag Battle and revealed the release date for Europe. Namco throws us a bone as Mezza speaks a bit on the new free Tekken 7 costumes. CrashTag is really hyped for Fighting Ex Layer's gameplay of Hayate and Cracker Jack.
SNK announces Love Heart as the new addition to SNK Heroines. Bandai & Arcsystem released their Fighter Z Cup with a introduction video into it. Vegito and Fused Zamasu received an actual release date. Namco standing strong they bring back an original cast member Yoshimitsu to Soul Calibur 6. Nicalis has seized everyone's hearts with Shovel Knight gameplay but Mezza speaks on the new arrivals of Lionsgate and Helen as they receive trailers for Blade Strangers.
Little talk of Street Fighter V but possible Cody trailer could show up at Combo Breaker. In the "Randoms of the FGC" Capcom vs SNK sprite work has a comparison video to show the differences between art direction. Nintendo has announced the Super Smash Invitational players. Combo Breaker has put for quite a interesting number count for registered players. Official Eleague player list and who made it. In the "Plug & Play" there is a new Microsoft Adaptive Controller that was created for disabled gamers and non gamers. Within the "Focus Attack" the team leads into Stunfested waters as StunFest an event in France was poorly ran due to some back in structure. Mod Highlights are little light but heavy with the color coordination as mod artist Fewtch drops a Cell Color Pack you can't ignore.

#81: Where's The Content? May 10, 2018

Show notes

Where is the beef? Where is the guts? where is the content? Nearly missing the starting time Mezza comes swooping in as CrashTag just gives him a stare of death. Surprisingly you know that means it is go time and as always the dynamic duo is at it again with the updates but sadly there has not been many updates. Arcsystemworks finally went live with the beta for Blazblue: Cross Tag Battle. Accompanied by a very interesting cinematic opening. Bandai cracks a bit with a not so good Dragon Ball Fighter Z patch update or cell just keeps dodging a bullet literally. Nicalis, Inc. kicks it off strong with their new game Blade Strangers and they added a few new characters to their small yet growing title.
Isaac from "The Binding of Isaac", Quote from "Cave Story", and Azure Striker from "Gunvolt 2". Capcom still kicking out some costumes after the release of falke as they give us a forgotten guile costume. In the "Randoms Of The FGC" OG breaks into the Fighting Game Community with sponsoring, "Swedish Delight". Forger Esports signs HumanBomb and there is some leaks in the FGC as we see more information released on reddit about Dragon Ball Fighter Z and more. Summit of Power voting standings are still going strong but narrowing down. In the Plug & Play (Hardware Talk) Mezza gives you some insight on a solid portable recorder/stream equipment and shows off a Corsair Void Pro RGB Wireless Headset for those that travel.
The "Focus Attack" the team gets Julianno "Initial_J" Morales a top level Blazblue & Under Night In Birth player to talk about his interaction and experience with Blazblue Cross Tag Battle and its Beta release. As always the mod highlights are booming this week as CrashTag nose dives into the heavy hitters section of mods. Kicking it off with TheJAMK's Juri cosplaying as Hela from Thor Ragnorak. BlitzMightyN7 shows us Ibuki can dress like Sheik. Doctor doom and Cell fates cross paths as they both fuse together in this DBFZ mod by Rybread.
