Evo 2025 (As Told By StaticGorilla)
Evo 2025 highlights (from Static's point of view)...
We tackle the big question: Is 2XKO actually ready for competitive play? After spending weeks in the closed beta, Crashtag, Mezza, and StaticGorilla discuss what’s working like solid character variety and surprisingly stable netcode, to what still needs serious polish before Riot’s tag fighter can truly shine in the FGC. We dig into the awkward spacing issues, questionable balance decisions, and that evolving meta everyone’s either exploiting or complaining about. We also talk about experiences in early 2XKO tournaments. Finally, we discuss where game stands heading into Season Zero and what needs to happen for 2XKO’s future in the fighting game 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.
