We kick off with the end of the 2XKO Alpha Lab, sharing our final thoughts on the alpha test and some balancing issues like the defense mechanics. Shifting gears, we discuss the new Mortal Kombat 1 trailer featuring Cyrex, discuss her gameplay, speculate on how the character updates might impact the game, and talk new story details. We also talk about Beetlejuice’s fantastic animation in Multiversus, provide details on the Marvel vs. Capcom collection’s leaked release date, and delve into Versusia’s gameplay in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising. Finally, we preview the EWC Tekken 8 event and the highly competitive group stages ahead.

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.
