We're returning to the regular one guest interview format this weekend with Krayzie Bone. We've got a lot to talk about. MLG Arena, upcoming tournaments, Slips has ridiculous drama in his life, and I've picked up a second character.

She's not for tournament though. I'll always rep the princess in tournament.

She? I thought it was going to be Kung Lao.

Hmm... Of all the remaining female characters Mileena is the lamest (d+4 and iAS are like an equivalent of Kitana's d+1 and IAF) and she's also the easiest execution-wise. I'd say it's either her or Sindel, the princess' mommy.

It's Mileena. I like that you correctly guessed based on which girl is lamest.

OP updated with a link to the newest episode, feat. Krayzie Bone.


I just realized I forgot to resume listening to the previous episode. I was 1.5h into it, then I had to go and totally forgot about it afterwards.

Yeah, it was a great episode.

LMAO @ at them talking about Sareena for 5mins or so and K7 thought it was Nitara all the time and then he's like "Who is Sareena then?". lol

Kevo and 16bit talking about zoning and how much fun it is when it pisses off others - lol!

I've actually never seen any Rocky films and I think I saw Rambo long ago, but I don't remember much besides some jungle and helicopters? I've seen Terminator I and II long ago and I still remember them pretty well, great movies.


Fujin for MK10, agreed! glasses

K7 has confirmed that next episode will be sometime this week with Foxy, Glue, and Mustard and Ketchup + a segment with Tom Brady!

Can't wait! I can't get enough of Tom lol.

9.95 Phil is coming up sometime soon too, a couple of weeks or so I guess.

Heard the new episode. Great shit as usual. M2Dave seems really cool, and even though I hate Freddy being in this game, I totally respect his devotion to zoning. BTW, the best Nightmare film is "Dream Warriors."

And I know I'm late here, but best of luck with your secondary 16-Bit. I know she doesn't technically compliment Kitana's match ups, but I still think Mileena is a great choice. She requires a moderately different skill set than Kitana at high level, so learning her will sharpen your fundamentals quite a bit. Mastering Kitana and Mileena in conjunction is going to make you a very well-rounded player, and if you plan on using one character exclusively in tournament, that's probably the best goal to pursue. Also, cool to hear you play Rose. She's my main as well. smile
EDIT: Oh, and HUGE congrats for getting sponsored by GGA!


That said, I couldn't disagree with Slips enough about SF4. With the exception of AE, every incarnation of that game is amazing. He's right that the design philosophy behind Third Strike was better, but I'd take SF4's scrubby defensive option selects over Third Strikes ridiculous imbalance any day of the week. Third Strike is a deeper game within the perimeter of five or six characters, but it can't lay a finger on SF4 in terms of style diversity. I'd argue that SF4AE 2012 Edition is the most balanced game ever made. If it wasn't for Mr. Never-Should-Have-Been-A-Fucking-Playable-Character-In-The-First-Place Seth, there would be zero doubt about the matter.

In regarding past episodes, props to the UK guys for defending Metzos. Death is a great player, and I'm sure he understands the game far better than I do, but I'm confident he's wrong about Ermac. He says his zoning, anti-footsies, and rushdown are below average, but that's only a problem if you put those attributes in a vacuum. Utilizing all those skills into one strategy basically means he has an answer for fucking everything. The only reason I don't put him above some other high-mid characters is because he doesn't have armor.

Also, props to Used-For-Glue for defending Noob. That character is not nearly as bad as people say he is. I honestly don't know enough about Kano to judge, but I do know that a Kano player took Dallas Bar Fights a few weeks ago (and he took it over Starcharger, and very good Kitana player).

Finally, props to K7 for making me laugh my balls off at work last week. When that random background guy's voice started to distort during the Krayzie episode, K7 said something like "I'm going to get nightmares from this shit." My co-workers were staring at me cause I was laughing so hard.

Oh, and that reminds me. K7 beat me in an Xbox rankings match a few days ago. Good shit and props.

Saw the post at TYM about the end of KTP. I'm very sad to hear that, but I trust you guys have your reasons. KTP has helped me so much at dealing with my shitty job. Knocking 4 hours out of a ten hour day with a podcast makes life a lot easier.

I don't really have a question specifically, but I hope you guys go into depth about your matches at UFGT. My favorite episodes are the post-tournament ones, so I'd love to hear how you guys felt about the results.

Good luck with your future endeavors, guys. I'm going to miss the hell out of the show. It's a great combination of humor and analysis, and currently, it has no equal. Look forward to the final show.

I was very surprised when I read about it. I thought they were gonna keep going at least up until Evo2k12 and have at least one episode post-Evo. Hmm. I'm curious to hear what they have to say in the final episode.

Yeah 16Bit, happy for you bro. Glad NRS is trying to continue to improve on design by hiring on people that play MK9 at the level that you do. I'm not talking about strategies/tactics either. Dude you traveled about as much as Brady it seemed like. Moreover, you seemed passionate about the community and the life of the game. So yeah man good luck testing at NRS, just don't turn Injustice: GAU into princess fan-spam. Actually...nevermind...that would be awesome.

FINALLY got to hear the last episode. Great shit. Loved the post-UFGT conversation. The pizza hut stuff was fucking hilarious. Loved the meat-cheese discussion.

Good luck with your game testing endeavors, 16-Bit. If you do end up testing MK10 specifically, and Li Mei IS in the game, make her OP. Do everything you can to make that bitch broken. I don't think my boy Smoke is coming back, so I need my original secondary!

Gonna miss the hell out of the show. Best wishes to all of you. smile
