Welcome to a new episode of Double Tap! Crashtag and StaticGorilla are back with an episode packed with trailers, delays and announcements. In the Fighter’s corner, Guilty Gear Strive will not have PS5 exclusive modes on launch, the arcade version of the game has been delayed and there will be a Pre-Release Showcase. Tekken 7 had a balance patch while KOF XV gets delayed, but not without a Blue Mary trailer and a Samsho Trailer for Shiro Okisada Amakusa. In the Randoms of the FGC, Playstation announces EVO tournaments, AnimeEVO gets a brand change and TNS has a big Marvel tournament this weekend. Then, Crashtag found a video about most played arcade games, we look at FGcombo and talk about Two Strikes fighting game. Finally, we ask the listeners a community question.

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.

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.
