What's goin on peeps?! Here's the first 'true' episode of mine and @Gilbagz's new podcast, The Friendly Alliance! The podcast is primarily designed for leveling up the Australian scene while highlighting some of our key players and their stories.

In today's episode, Gilbagz and Cabjoy sit down with Melbourne's very own Googie to talk about how he's transitioned from a new player to seasoned player, and his experiences with the game so far. He talks with us about the progress of his monthly tournament series and the state of the online scene. Finally, we wrap things up by getting hype about Kombat Pack 2 and talking about why we think the chosen characters were good or bad choices.

Let us know what you think!

We just uploaded a mirror and it was flagged within minutes. We're guessing that someone who's bitter in the Australian MK facebook group is messing with us. Erghh...

@Cabjoy how big is Australian mkx scene?

We have decent localised scenes around each of our major cities, but they're so far apart and our majors are so feew and far between that it's difficult to sustain numbers at times. The Sydney scene is quite good at the moment, we've got about 20 to 30 players turning up to our monthly events, with around 10-15 regularly going to @Gilbagz's house for casuals. Brisbane is pretty much dead, with like 5 players max. Melbourne I think frequents around 20 players at their locals too. Adelaide a little less and Perth even fewer.

Our majors tend to get around 50-60 players whoch isn't too bad. Our main issue right now is exposure. It's difficult to get the attention of sponsors because no one really knows about our scene and consequently stream viewers are lacking. The podcast is an attempt to expand on that a little bit, so new players get to know the faces of the scene and people on tym get a chance to hear about us too. :)

Thanks for the support dudes, it's ironic that only the EU players tend to be the ones checking out the thread haha.

Good to know, thanks for giving us a listen man! Anything we can to do keep people up to speed with the Australian scene is good for everyone imo. We plan on doing more educational content on the side of the podcast, but you can always expect our discussions to include some matchup chatter or general gameplay advice anyway. :)

Yeah I think someone in the facebook group is being a scumbag. Since we made a move to a fresh channel it's takes little to no effort to bring a vid down through flags. Unfortunately soundcloud is our best option until it gets rectified,, unless i reupload on my channel.

Yeah. Maybe until the channel gets bigger u could double post on ur channel? Maybe post some other videos on the FA channel and build it up a little first, so youtube doesnt immediately think its some new channel uploading a movie or something.

I reviewed the youtube guidelines that was linked on the deleted video. I dont see why it wouldve been removed.
