RPGrinders EP 736 - Spite Fighter

The fight is on! This week's episode gets highly competitive. Arguing over Trans rights, disagreements about reviews, fighting with listeners, arguing with each other, even a fight to determine the greatest fighting game franchise of ALL TIME?! No participation trophies. We are fighting to win!

The fighting starts even before the news! The chatters and the Grinders disagree about the rights of the Trans community. It's a personal issue to Eric and an important issue to address.

The news is a little later than usual, but not as late as the games being delayed. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Endless Dungeon have both been kicked back but they haven't been canceled. By the middle of next month, the Free-to-Play version of Disgaea won't be able to punch its way out of a server shutdown. At least it's not all bad news, as the city of Detroit will soon get to enjoy the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert!

To win a fight it takes stamina, not unlike what it will take to watch everything the Grinders reviewed! Hours of Japanese cartoons about the human body, American cartoons about the horrors of puberty, the horrors of Infinity Pool, the horror of being dead and still stuck in high school, a surprisingly good Plane, and even the Caped Crusader.

As if the Grinders weren't ready for a fight, the Stinkos are here to add fuel to the fire. A country that is seemingly at war with itself and its government. States that have decided to rule instead of represent. Even some personal battles against bad apps and bad family members. 

Just as the bloodlust comes to a boil, it's time to begin the process of determining the Greatest Fighting Game Franchise of All Time! Will Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li prevail over the Bogard brothers and their friends? Will Mortal Kombat dish it out or become the next Fatality? Can Dead or Alive's physical "attributes" be enough to defend itself against a Guilty Gear assault? Can the realism of the UFC and the Fight Night survive in a genre that is known for being over the top? If Capcom and SNK team up, could they overcome SNK's tag-battle champion?

Goku vs Naruto, we all want to know. 

And that is all just the first round. We do two rounds tonight! The second round is even more shocking than the first!

Did I say that was the last segment? Surprise! We aren't tapping out yet! We have time for one more segment! A free-for-all discussion about the treatment of a nervous teenager at a gaming competition. Was he mistreated or is he just a complainer? 

Now the fight is over! We can all go back to our locker rooms, shower, and head home. Win or lose the fight will continue. Let's get ready to rumble, fight the power, don't throw in the towel, act like you've been there before, and all of those other lame competition cliches.
