Advertise on podcast: Here Comes a New Challenger

News has come to interrupt the book club! EVO France has come and gone, and with it a lot of news for 2XKO, Arc System Works games, Tekken, and more. We go over all of the announcements!

Troy and Brandon battle it out in a first-to-10 matchup in DNF Duel! Austin hosts a casual episode of matches and conversation before we give our full retrospectives next week for the DNF Duel Book Club episode. What do you guys think of this 8ing gem? Leave a comment below! Let us know what you guys think of the episode and what other fighting games you want us to cover in future book club episodes.

In this episode, the boys go over the news stories that have happened recently, along with announcing their new book club game!

The FGIS (Fighting Game Investigation Squad) are back to talk about 2XKO ending development at the end of the year, talking about what went right and what went wrong. Garrett also babbles about Looney Tunes and Star Wars for a little bit

We talk about the newest game released by Arc System Works, what we like about it, what we don't, and the massive issue that is the PC port.

In this chunky episode, the boys talk about Melty Blood: Twi Lumina gameplay reveal, Tokon Open Beta, and mostly about the release of Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game. Garrett also poses the question if Sokka and Katara can do the Arctic Shake

We go over the Avatar beta this week!

Did we go to EVO this year? No. Did we watch it at home? Kinda. We go over the news at EVO, what we saw, and our issues with watching it at home.

Austin and Garrett do a duo episode to cover some news topics like Season 3 of City of the Wolves, the Tekken Cartoon, and new Avatar characters. (Episode is 184 since there are two episodes on the backburner, waiting on a host's internet connection to improve so they can send their audio)

The newcomers talk about their weeks and get into a large amount of fighting game news that includes, Virtua Fighter Crossroads, Avatar, Tokon, 2XKO, and Street Fighter 6

The boys are back from traveling and they brought a friend! Ben is one of Garrett's and Austin's friends, and he decided to come down to Chicago to go to Combo Breaker with Garrett and he's here to share his experience. Garrett also talks about one of the worst teams he spent $55 dollars on at an auction tournament, and some news is discussed along with opinions on the newest (at the time) Tokon build

We do a first to ten with Brandon and Troy in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising in preparation for Combo Breaker! This episode is meant to be paired with video of the two playing, and will be included once that has finished editing. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/fvtTP5Usc9

Evo Japan just happened and with it, a floodgate of news! Garrett also saw Mortal Kombat II in theaters and talks about his thoughts on it

We tackle the topic of combos, what we like, what we don't like about them, and what our favorite system of combos are!

In this rambly episode, the boys talk about a little bit of news, such as Goku Daima in Fighterz, and the buttercream gang!
