In this episode we welcome back Mikey who shares his experiences at Dreamhack Dallas, where he competed in Guilty Gear Strive, Tekken 8, and Street Fighter 6. We discuss some unexpected outcomes, including Mikey’s encounter with Fuudo, and a controller hiccup that led to JDCR losing an important match he was winning. That leads to a discussion about improving tournament procedures. We also touch on the current state of EVO registrations and the early numbers, with Street Fighter 6 leading the pack. Additionally, the conversation covers the rocky ‘honeymoon phase’ of Multiversus since its recent update and some notable issues players are facing. Lastly, we highlight the upcoming Street Fighter 6 balance patches and DNF Duel’s latest updates, including new characters and balance changes.

Jeremiah Ward

Got his start gaming with his two cousins and brother at his aunts house. They had to always play in secret, but he fell in love with fighting games when he got his first taste of an arcade in Maryland. Now looks to grow the community.
