This week we start the show talking about the announcement of a new Virtua Fighter at The Game Awards, move into the addition of Clive Rossfield in Tekken 8, and then the upcoming balance patches for Guilty Gear Strive. We also discuss the importance of quality assurance in tournament setups following some complaints about the inconsistency of PS5 as a competitive console. This is our last new episode for 2025. After our winter break, well be back on January 7th. See you next year!
