We're back after an unexpected hiatus! On this episode we discussed MK1's story expansion "Khaos Reigns," give our impressions on Heihachi's return to Tekken, and talked about the indie fighting game Coreupt. We talk about the recent announcements from Arksys at Tokyo Game Show including Queen Dizzy, new mechanics for Chip, an update on Dual Rulers, and a announcement of the second beta for the team mode. We also explored some issues facing the FGC community, like the lack of a central hub for communities and the challenges of bringing in new players.
