Double Tap is here with a new episode and Crashtag and Static can smell Guilty Gear Strive. First, in the Fighter’s Corner, we look at the Guilty Gear Strive Developer’s Backyard and story trailer. Then, we see the early results of the Intel Open and Virtua Fighter is finally back, but still a port. In the Randoms of the FGC, someone dropped the full strive OST on youtube, TNS puts on a live event featuring UMVC3, live events are getting announced for the end of the year and a new indy fighting game, Coreupt has been teased for E3 and is making waves. Then in the Focus Attack, we go over some of the resources for getting started in Strive. Finally, we hear your answers to the community question from last week.

Andres Mirandes

Video gaming runs in his blood and competition plagues his mind. From the earliest days in the now extinct arcades, to the eSports competitive scene, he looks forward to the next game to test his skills. No stranger to rising salt levels.

Gabriel Medina

I've been playing video games for a while now. I enjoy racing games, RPGs, but spend most of my time with fighting games. My first goal was to get better than my brothers, but now I strive to be better than most while also teaching others.
