    Ivy Insights

    The Double Tap – A Podcast for the Fighting Game Community is a must-listen for any die-hard fighting game enthusiast. As a long-time listener, I can confidently say that this podcast consistently delivers honest opinions and great content that sets it apart from other gaming podcasts. The hosts, Crashtag and DaimyoMezza, have an incredible depth of knowledge about the FGC and their chemistry is unmatched. Each episode is not only informative but also highly entertaining, keeping listeners engaged from start to finish.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts' extensive knowledge of the FGC. They cover a wide range of topics, from upcoming games like Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown to discussions about the esports scene and what they've been playing. They even dive into lesser-known fighters like Skullgirls and King of Fighters. This breadth of coverage ensures that there's something for everyone, no matter your preferred game or playstyle.

    Additionally, the hosts' passion for fighting games shines through in every episode. Their lively discussions are filled with humor and camaraderie, making it feel like you're part of a conversation with friends. Static Gorilla's character sound impersonations add another layer of entertainment to each episode.

    However, one downside to this podcast is its release schedule. While the quality of the content is top-notch, episodes are not released as frequently as some listeners would like. It's understandable that creating high-quality episodes takes time, but more frequent releases would be greatly appreciated by dedicated fans.

    In conclusion, The Double Tap – A Podcast for the Fighting Game Community stands out as one of the best podcasts in its genre. With its knowledgeable hosts, engaging discussions, and entertaining banter, it consistently delivers informative and enjoyable content for any FGC enthusiast. Despite its less frequent release schedule, this podcast remains at the top of my must-listen list. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the fighting game scene, this podcast is a valuable resource that will keep you informed and entertained.
