Listened to the first ep the other night. So damn good, and I hate non-structured podcasts generally. Yipes is a treasure tho.

Just listened to the first ep, I love both Yipes and Chris Matrix. But I really don't understand the depth of dislike for Fanatiq using a one button dash in MvC2. Did Fanatiq ever find Yipes/Chris Matrix level tournament success in MvC2? And if not doesn't that kind of prove that it's really not all that big a deal? Didn't players do similar things in SF4 with changing the start button action to be something else to make certain techniques like P-linking easier to do? Is that super frowned upon as well or not really in the same league?
It's just one of those old school fighting game mentalities. Using key inputs like that is tournament legal now if the game allows it.
And Fanatiq was more of a money match monster than a consistent tournament player.
Disappointed it's not about the discount grocery store
No Frills was a generic brand sold at Pathmark, a grocery chain in the Tristate area. If you grew up poor in New York, like Yipes and Matrix, you ate No Frills at some point. I know this because I grew up listening to Wu Tang.

It's because yipes and co are arcade bred. Therefore that shit is frowned upon/lazy. P-Linking with the start button was also frowned upon but it is what it is.
Season 2 has been fire so far. Last three eps have been Sanford, Idom, and Shine. All must listens.
The Shine one had me dying laughing today.
The following moments in Shine history were discussed:

This podcast is so good. Yipes and Matrix are so charismatic and the stories from most of the guests are so compelling that even if you don't follow the FGC you should listen.
Yeah them recapping the FGC time line makes me feel like I was there.
Both parts were great. This show is not celebrated enough for documenting FGC history. It's really a must listen for anybody interested in the scene.
Didn't mean to self promo! I am just excited for other podcasters!! What you are doing is great!!
