#18: A Family Man Returns Apr 20, 2016

Show notes

First podcast threeway! Seriously though, Mezza, Crash, and Mikey combine their powers to talk FGC! Though only covering the second half of April, plenty has been patched, updated, and officially released! They discuss the man, the myth, and legend: Guile. What can the family man bring to SFV? (Doesn't he already have a pension at this point?). West Coast Warzone 5 concluded this weekend with some great matches, and not so great impressions of character moves. Will the future of the FGC be on the PC? Sit down, relax, and listen to a couple of idiots talk fighting games!

#17: LET’S DISCOVER SOME SH*T! Apr 05, 2016

Show notes

Next wave of fighting games have been released in droves. We dive into SFV's direction now that the first majors have passed. Pokken has hit the US shores and has already received interesting reception from not only the hosts, but fans as well. Coming out strong, with a season with over $100,000 in prize money, is Pokken going to be taken seriously, or is it just a fad we won't see past Evo?
KOF14 had a marathon of characters unveiled. Promising 50 characters by release, and now currently on their 10th trailer, they are living up to their word. SNK Playmore isn't the only company pumping out content. Netherealms and Iron Galaxy have now released their own respective DLC Seasons of new characters, costumes, and updates to both MKX and KI. Some are receiving new content while Nintendo has officially called the end of DLC for Smash 4, but how much more could you add?
This week's Travel Segment is brought to you by the "A". Mezza packed his stick and headed to Atlanta to compete in Final Round 19. Let's see how he did in this week's podcast. (Spoiler: Not too good)

Show notes

2015 has now come to a close. We take a look back at what has evolved and pushed the FGC forward this year. Are we getting closer to the holy grail that is E-Sports? Not only has the competitive scene gained a lot of attention, but the players as well, with new companies have thrown their hats into the ring to support world class players. Who's been picked up? Also, the release count has been very high this year. Mortal Kombat X has been unleashed and is already heading towards a second season of ESL competition in 2016.

#12: Climbing Community Nov 05, 2015

Show notes

*If you took the photograph above please contact us so we can attribute proper credit.
Street Fighter V is on its way up, and some new games to join the mix. As Capcom and other companies start making changes in their games and ways, the community is diversifying how they help one another. Top players such as D-Link|LordKnight, AG|Glitch, and many others have started to teach both new and experienced players how they can get ahead of the curve. With all these big tournaments coming up soon this seems to be good support for upcoming players. Listen as we talk a bit about the direction of Street Fighter V and the community.

#10: First to 10's end at 13? Sep 08, 2015

Show notes

We return to our regularly scheduled coverage of fighting games, in which plenty are getting a face lift. Now that August is behind us we managed to not only go to the classic Summer Jam we all know and love in the east, but also make it to PAX Prime as well. A new season of competitive gaming is starting up and with that we are seeing a slew of new announcements for both new and old games. New characters, stages, costumes, and game revisions have been announced for several games. Several anime games are receiving a new look with some updates, announcements, and even some characters combining two different franchises. Also,is your character getting the hit with the Nerf Hammer? NetherRealm is at it again with the patches. Have they learned their lessons yet? Predictions on the next season of the Kombat Pack 2 is up for grabs. Who do you want returning to Mortal Kombat?
What is Double Tap without any drama to report in the FGC? MVG finds itself in the cross hairs of someone looking to exploit its players. It's lonely at the top fellas. New releases of some favorite characters not only bring the hype, but also the skepticism of the community in their viability. R. Mika was revealed – a character the FGC has been wanting since the days of Street Fighter x Tekken – and she brings the showmanship, strength, and the goods to the game's latest entry.
In this Travel Segment, Mezza talks about Summer Jam 9. The highs, lows, why he is free in Skullgirls, and the fact that some guys can't get enough of a legendary beating from another guy with a funny hat. Join us as we dive right into the start of the 2015 FGC season!
