Hello Patrons and welcome to another day of voting for our new show. After the last four weeks I've began to learn what kind of games you all tend to lean towards, but I'll be honest with you, I have zero idea what's going to win today, this one is totally up in the air today.

Welcome Patrons to the final week of the first round of the bracket to decide what games we'll look at in our new Spotlight show. Today is a fan favorite vs a hidden gem. Let's see who wins.
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev - So I love Guilty Gear, and I love Guilty Gear Strive. But ever since that game came out all I've heard people say is how much better Xrd Rev is. But Rev is one of the few Guilty Gears ...

Hello Patrons! Welcome to the final day of Week 3 of our Fighting Game Spotlight poll. Today we got a weird one for you, and not just because of how different these games are, but because one of them is Ehrgeiz and that makes everything it touches weird.

Today on the Fighting Game Spotlight Poll it's the battle of the DLC. Again I want to remind everyone this was all decided by a random number generator but I can't help but laugh that two games known for having massive amounts of DLC were both matched against each other.

Hello Patrons! Got to start today off with a correction, yesterday I said our two contestants have the longest names on the bracket. That's because I forgot the full name of Arcana Hearts 3 is "Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!! XTEND" and yes that is the actual number of exclamation marks in the title.

Well it's April so that of course means our number one priority this month is getting the big anniversary Build the Roster out. This year we're doing Mortal Kombat Vs Street Fighter in honor of both these games having brand new releases coming out. As for other projects we're working on, last month I got three episodes of our new Fighting Game Spotlight show written as well ...

Hello Patrons! So hey, funny story, today we were supposed to vote on Neo Geo Battle Coliseum vs Multiversus. Problem is yesterday the Multiversus team announced they were pulling the game down for a year. Now the game will still be available to play offline, but there is almost no offline content. And I do have a few more months before it goes away to record footage, but by the time the video goes u...

Today it's a wild one, anime vs classics. Who will win?

2023-03-22 23:06:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey there Patrons! So I've talked for a while about doing a show spotlighting individual fighting games, just a one off show doing a more casual look at these titles. I'm going to record 12 episodes that will go up biweekly after they're all done and that will be "Season One."
The eight episodes I've picked out are Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Killer Instinct, Rumbleverse, Gigabash, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Shaq Fu, Them's Fightin Herds, and Melty Blood Type Lumina.
That leaves four ep...
2023-03-21 19:21:44 +0000 UTC View PostHello there Patrons! Hope everyone is doing well. Had a pretty busy weekend and had to be out of town for a good chunk of it, but now I'm back and ready to get to work.
So what do we have coming up this month? Well for starters I'm working on the Rumble Fish Retrospective. Ran into a bit of a snag because the person I'd been in contact with to do the title card disappeared so now I need to find somebody else to draw it. But hopefully the video should be up this weekend.
Then after...
2023-03-06 14:24:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons!
So here's the deal. The next video I was going to work on was going to be the much delayed Skullgirls Retrospective. However there's some legal drama around the game right now that I thought got settled back in November, but turns out I was wrong. Looks like the case is going to court in March and then again in May. So in other words if I work on the Skullgirls video it could become my quickest poorly aged video yet.
So yes, the Skullgirls video is being delayed even ...
2023-02-21 22:15:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey there Patrons, I'm mapping out a ton of Street Fighter content coming up later this year when the game releases. And there's two ideas I had that I'm jumping between. I will admit I am definitely leaning towards one over the other, and if I can do both in time then I will. But in case I can only do one, which of these ideas seems more interesting to you?
A) A history of cut characters - We examine characters who were cut from previous Street Fighters, look at the notes for them and ...
2023-02-18 00:14:55 +0000 UTC View PostHey there Patrons, hope everyone is doing well.
So wanted to give you an update on what's going on over here. Working on Part 2 of the Blazblue video and I had all the audio recorded, but as I was editing it I found that a whole day's worth of the recording (about a third of it) has been distorted, it's all staticky and unusable. So we'll have to rerecord that. I'm still hoping I can get it out by this weekend, but it'll probably be Sunday if I'm lucky.
Then as soon as that'...

Hey Patrons. In about five hours I'm going to premiere the new Build the Roster.
But I'm going to give all of you a few hours head start on it. You can watch the new episode here. I will have to take the video off in a few hours when I set it as a "Premiere" but until then I hope you enjoy.
(also if you decide to comment on the video then please don't spoil anything since everyone else won't have been able to watch just yet)
2023-01-24 17:14:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey Patrons. It's still a ways off but I'm working on the schedule for later this year, and as you all know Street Fighter is going to be our big Fighting Game Retrospective this year, being 4 parts in total.
But here's what I'm wondering. Should we...
A) Put out Part 1 of the series around when Street Fighter 6 launches in June (meaning our schedule would go Skullgirls, Art of Fighting, Rumble Fish, then Street Fighter), or should we...
B) Put out Part 1 and maybe part 2 if we c...
Hey Patrons!
So I mentioned that we would start up a Discord Server later this year. Well things have progressed much quicker on that than I expected, and we're about ready to launch it.
But before we make it public to everyone, I'm giving the Patrons early access to it. Just follow the link below and you can all get to hang out in the server a few days before anyone else. Just check the rules first and enjoy.

I want to thank all of you for signing up. No matter how much you donate it really is appreciated. I'll go ahead and warn you that this is all very different from the last time I tried a Patreon so this first month might be full of me stumbling a bit as I try to figure stuff out, but I'm going to try and make this a regularly updated scene.
As I mentioned the tiers each come with different rewards, and the $10 tier will get to ...
