Get your tech talk here

Love this podcast. Thankfully there’s a cast devoted to the FGC. These guys are very knowledgeable and I can’t get enough, they talk upcoming games from MK11 to Samurai Shodown. They also talk about the esports scene and what they’ve been playing. Games frequently mentioned is Street Fighter V, Mortal Kombat X, Tekken 7, Dragonball FighterZ, Injustice 2 and much more. They even talk less main stream fighters from Skullgirls to KoF. The last podcast was so interesting where they talked about the comparison of pads to sticks and which games implemented which better. Wish there were more new episodes, more frequently, but I still love this show and digest each episode fully.

love it

so glad to find a good podcast about fgc to help me get back into it, use to listen to gootecks podcast back in the sf4 days when i lived in socal and was lucky enough to play with players such as yeb and shady k on a weekly basis, while i never beat them in a serious match, it was a great enviroment to learn and grow to be able to put a whoopin on my other friends. this podcast has helped bring back that fire to want to get better at games now that dbfz is starting to become an obsession. while i might not live in socal anymore, i look forward to listening to your guys podcast to help motivate me to practice and get better.

A dope podcast for everything fighting game related.

New to the fighting game scene and this is a great way to get updated on all things fighting game. Whether it’s new tech for your favorite fighting game, updates on upcoming releases or events, or even just a funny/dope story these guys do not disappoint. Keep on rocking guys!

Five stars for game variety and FGC involvement

Living in a rural community in the western US has made being involved in the FGC a struggle, but this podcast makes me feel like I'm in the thick of things. The two hosts, Crashtag and DaimyoMezza have great chemistry and are heavily-involved in the fighting game scene in their own communities on the East coast. They always know about the big moments, the gossip, and the popoffs and have recently been traveling internationally to report on some of the big international tournaments They also play a wide variety of games so no matter whether you're a King of the Iron Fist Tournament, Street fighter, NRS nerd, or anime fighting weeb they have the updates for your game. I make a lot of my game purchasing decisions based on their reviews and so far I haven't been disappointed because these two know what's hot and what's not. Easy five stars
K-bohls!

An easy listen

This is probably the most chill podcast I listen to. The hosts are cool and seem to know about a wide array of fighting games and players. A great way to get deeper into fighting games/the fgc. Keep it up!
Curse7781

Fantastic show, great for the FGC!

I like how the hosts give their hot takes on fighting game news & what tips players need to improve on/look out for. Highly recommended!
sausageyeti

Ultra combo

These guys are for real. It’s a great cast for the FGC spreading from Capcom and NR fighters to anime fighters. It’s a great listen!
Greatdane801

Enjoyable and inclusive

Excellent podcast for anyone who is a fighting game enthusiast. It's encouraging to hear a group of guys who enjoy talking about all the many sub genres that make the scene so interesting.
Clash of Kings

I am glad this exists.

This is a solid podcast covering the fighting game community.
