Evan Almighty joins Double Tap to talk about how the game feels now that it is in players’ hands and where it fits in the broader fighting game community.

The discussion also covers Alex’s Street Fighter 6 gameplay, the latest Mortal Kombat Legacy update, and Frosty Faustings 2026, along with how new players can start learning 2XKO without feeling overwhelmed.

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.

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.

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.
