What's crackin' everybody!? We're back with another episode of The Friendly Alliance, this time featuring none other than Sydney's Arnold! We discuss how Arnold began with fighting games and his approach to learning new games, characters, preparing for tournaments and much more! We go into detail about how to learn new characters in MKX, learning how to use training mode, how to approach those early pools matches in tournaments and our personal weaknesses as players, among others.
Audio only option isn't up yet, but will be in the next few days. We're expecting the next episode may be slightly delayed due to Gilbagz and Vlad being overseas, but I intend on uploading a few bits and pieces soon so keep your eyes on the channel. Check it out below:
