Episode 79: MadEx 2025/The Music of "Pokken Tournament"

About this episode

The episode features interviews from MadEx 2025 and a discussion on the music of Pokken Tournament.

The first segment (1:06-13:40) is a pair of interviews from MadEx 2025*, where I got to meet dub director Lisa Ortiz, as well as a winner of the Super Smash Bros. Doubles tournament.. The second segment (14:57-53:46) is a discussion of the music of Pokken Tournament. Anne from Pikapi Podcast joins me to go over the tunes from this one-on-one fighter. The title may not have gotten as much traction as Pokémon wanted, but we make sure to give it due consideration. As usual, there’s a game discussion after the outro. *A press pass was provided for this event.
