Just finished the whole podcast @coolcmcgee . I enjoyed the whole thing and wouldn't mine turning in for another one. Any idea or set date when the next one will be ?
we do not have anything set in stone right now but the next one will probably be sometime next week
 
@coolcmcgee Cool, I'll be looking forward to the next one then. As for the bad habits topic I agree with whiff punishing grabs with another grab is what a lot of intermediate skilled players struggle with. Me for example as a Yoshimitsu main used to do this pretty much all the time when you really should just be going for a 6K whiff punish. Ever since I've go into the habit of using Yoshimitsus' 6K for my whiff punish it has improved my game by a lot. Since his 6K wall splats it leads into one deadly wall combo for 100+ damage and makes for decent oki or ringout too !

Good job on the podcast everyone !

just quick feedback about the podcast:

definitely going to need some better microphones,
sound proof your room a bit so you can clear out some of that background noise Because the mic's you're using now is capturing everything, and that added with your voices it muffles everything and really takes me out of it.

in terms of the content, it seems cool but I would think a little bit more about the presentation of your content.
Right now it's a struggle for me to listen to more than 5 minutes of this because of the sound quality. I like that you guys added a table of content because that really makes things easier to find topics that I'm interested in listening to, but I also feel it's not really needed. If you guys want to get recognized and want people to listen in on the full podcast, just give a brief summary on what you guys will be discussing.

also.. speak clearly. You guys have to understand that talking on the radio is kind of different than talking naturally, and when you're speaking on the mic, you have to watch out for pops and "s" sounds so speaking succinctly and enunciating will definitely get people to want to listen more.

but a lot of the issues are coming from poor mics.

but fun stuff regardless. I look forward to hearing more from you guys in the future.

Yeah im not sure why there was that buzzing in this recording that usually doesn't happen. We will make sure it does not happen Again. also we usually just have a list of topics and pick them on the fly so it is somewhat hard to say what we are talking about beforehand. Thanks for the feedback
 
mm not really what I was getting at. I mean when you upload your podcast, you should already know the content in which you discussed because it seems like you're uploading after the fact.

I get that you guys might be live streaming which I feel is a bad idea unless you have great equipment for it.

But again, if you're uploading your shows onto this thread, I'm saying you don't need to put a time table here. just give a brief summary and let people listen. (^ ^)V
