About this episode
The hosts discuss how to prepare for and enjoy a major fighting game tournament.
How do you turn this show on again? Oh, like that. Ok. Hello, friends and folks! Welcome back to Neutral Game, your newbie friendly fighting game podcast! 2025 was a year where we were both super busy and there wasn't a lot of fighting game stuff we wanted to talk about, but 2026 will be different, starting now. Kyrie and I are gonna be heading to Combo Breaker this year- our second time attending. Between that, playing in locals and online tournaments, and Kyrie's decades of convention experience, we're here to give you advice as to how to have the best possible time at a major tournament: the prep work to do, the things to do on site, and the mindset that will help you get the most out of the experience. Our artwork for the show is drawn by @WistWhistley! Our opening is Scene38 強者の足音, and our ending is Battle6 さあ、戦いを楽しもう!!, both royalty-free offerings from the wonderful Kazuki Kaneko. You can find both our cohosts on Bluesky- Six is @six.scanlinemedia.com and Kyrie is @kyrie.scanlinemedia.com. The Scanline Media Discord can be found here!
