We jump into Mortal Kombat 1’s Pro Kompetition announcement, discussing its proximity to the first event, East Coast Throwdown, and the late announcement’s implications. We also explore the prize pool for Pro Kompetition events and its potential splits. We continue to address increasing bugs affecting competitive play in Mortal Kombat 1, rendering characters like General Shao and Shujinko unusable. Lastly, we touch on Street Fighter 6’s artwork sneak peek, King of Fighters XV World Championship tournaments, Duelists of Eden’s gameplay, an Orange Piccolo mod in Dragon Ball FighterZ, and the Tempest Award nominations, including Street Fighter 6 and EVO, assessing our community’s chances of winning.

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.

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.

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.
