Mezza & CrashTag are finishing up the holiday seasons with the final Double Tap of the year. Season 1 has concluded for Street Fighter V, and Killer Instinct is just getting their 3rd season under way. Supergirl shreds her chubby cheeks for a more refined look, and NRS finds time to show off her new sleek model in some gameplay. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite developers are on the front lines for this huge title that seems promising.
Esam Smacks us with some interesting tier list video footage. Namco pampers us with some costumes for Tekken 7, and King of Fighters XIV gives us a playable demo. The casters bring out one of the scariest Focus Attack discussions that bring forth true concern about Akuma's introduction to the cast of SFV. Mezza talks a lot about the current Steam sales and some great cheap grabs if you are looking to get into fighting games, or specific ones you may have been waiting to drop in prices.

#34: Capcom Cup 2016! Dec 01, 2016

Show notes

CapcomCup is this weekend and the competition is already heated. Mezza & CrashTag finally hit the two-year mark of Double Tap, and what better way to spend it giving everyone the download on all the new updates. Injustice 2 gets a Black Canary and pulls and old favorite from Injustice: Gods Among Us. King of Fighters XIV return with an update to graphics, and Tekken 7 releases a Console/PC trailer announcement that is long overdue. Killer Instinct fixes some serious bugs and mistakes in their upcoming patch.
The guys hit a heavy subject of Capcom Cup 2016 contestants and character line up. As usual they never leave you hanging without some good old Randoms in the FGC as they speak about Marvel vs Capcom 4 rumor and Akuma's appearance not being what everyone thinks. They also highlight the modder community once again, as they show off Brutal Ace's Juri SF4 mod for SFV and TheJAMK's Sombra mod for Laura.

#33: The Demon Has Appeared Nov 17, 2016

Show notes

The true demon "Akuma" has been revealed and things are starting to get interesting. After many demon flips to vortexes, Mezza and Crashtag invite a very new, yet seasoned, FGC player to be on the show as their first time guest. Jefford "OG|LilEvil" Castillo has been playing fighting games since 2009 and finally got a break out around 2014/2015 with his Evil Ryu play. He has taken down some formidable foes, and has also continued in splitting his time with studies on top of gaming.
He joins the cast and does a little speculation of his own on the release of Akuma, and also talks about his own demons he faces going head to head in competitive play. Additionally, Tekken 7 receives a Version H Edition and BlazBlue: Central Fiction character glitches are being fixed. That and more on this episode of Double Tap.

#32: A New Generation Arrives! Nov 02, 2016

Show notes

Canada has opened their doors to outsiders for Canada Cup this past weekend. The "New Generation" is here and they are packing a punch. The dynamic duo (talking about Dre and Mezza… us) jump into the fray between old and new players, as more and more younger players create a ripple in the Fighting Game Community. Liquid KnuckleDu takes down Qanba Douyu Xiaohai, and BX3 | Phenom brings BST | Diago to his feet. Mezza talks about Skullgirls’ once in a life time package deal that you can’t beat, and SFV goes on sale for a cheaper price in stores.
As usual updates are still being flushed out with new characters and game mechanic changes. Crashtag kicks out some more SFV mods that are gaining some praise among the community. CBZ | Onuki becomes the kryptonite to the EG Boys & Girl at Canada Cup as they fall one by one.

#31: How can I hold all these Tournaments?! Oct 19, 2016

Show notes

All the hype has been centered around SoCal Regional's this past weekend. Mezza and CrashTag talk about tough competitors Xiao Hai's had to take on to clutch victory over the weekend. Poongko seems more like a Tekken 7 player after taking the tournament with Akuma? They also shed some light on fake GGXRD reveals and the return of Tekken 7's Miguel. Los Angeles gets a taste of what the FGC has to offer in the form of street food during a very popular local, Dead or Alive gets new costumes in time for the holidays, and Pokken gets a new character.

#30: Rise of ESL Oct 06, 2016

Show notes

So many updates coming flying in from left and right as Crashtag and Mezza try to cover it all, from professional wrestlers parrying full supers to top players going head to head in ESL funded Tournaments. CrashTag throws what he thinks may be his top 3 picks for Injustice 2 Batman characters, and Mezza think MVC4 needs more Mrs. Marvel and Rouge. MKX-XL, and GG:XRD get a true over haul on their character balancing and additional moves. Inflitration gets a new view from above as he partners up with Viewsonic, and Twitch Prime talk seems to be kicking FGC players into high gear to stream more.
