Welcome to the first Special Edition Episode of The Friendly Alliance Podcast! The Friendly
Alliance podcast is an MKX podcast co-hosted by Cabjoy and Gilbagz that is primarily designed for leveling up the Australian scene while highlighting some of our key players and their stories.
Off the back of our recent fighting game major, Battle Arena Melbourne 8, we bring the top 8 (or most of it...) into a KOTH to have some games and have a good time. We talk a bit about ourselves as players, our thoughts on Battle Arena Melbourne 8, opinions of characters and much more.
We had some technical difficulties at the start, with some troubles connecting to each other and some serious lag for a while. This all smooths out within about 30 minutes, so the gameplay after that is easier to watch.
Our list of guests:
[NSW] Wazminator (D’Vorah All Variations)
[NSW] Gilbagz (Cryomancer Sub-Zero)
[QLD] Castiel (Piercing Mileena, Demolition Sonya Blade, A List Johnny Cage, Royal Storm Kitana)
[NSW] Cabjoy (Quan Chi All Variations, Goro DF/KW)
[NSW] Friendo (Impostor Shinnok, Shaolin Kung Jin)
[ACT] Ghost Police (Sektor, All Variations Ferra/Torr, War God Kotal Kahn)
[VIC] Pan1cMode (All variations Jacqui Briggs)
Since this was recorded straight from the PS4 there'll be no MP3 version of the podcast. Sorry!
Timestamps:
00:00 - Intro and getting to know the top 8 and thoughts on BAM8 (seems like there was some issues with audio on Friendo/Godspeed. Sorry!)
49:15 - Reflecting on the state of vanilla MKX
1:07:55 - How we feel about MKXL right now, and how the current meta is different in Australia than the US
1:13:30 - Gilbagz and Pan1cmode shed some light about punishing Alien
1:31:00 - Small bit on Combo Breaker and how the Australian player mentality compares to the US
1:39:00 - Top 5/Bottom 5 characters in the game
1:51:10 - Opinions on how the UK guys will perform at Combo Breaker and the neutral game in MKXL
2:00:25 - How we would nerf the top 5 to make them more in line with the mid tier
2:35:00 - Characters that have been nerfed/have issues
2:56:00 - Thoughts on how the meta would change if in tournament, the winner wasn't variation locked (but still character locked)
3:06:00 - More ideas for novelty tournaments + random discussion until we wrap things up
