This week on FGCism, we break down all the wildest moments from Combobreaker 2025—from the hype Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact playtest to the unexpected MKXL revival stealing the show.
But it’s not all hype—SNK is in crisis mode after a brutal Vice article slams Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, leading to Kenji Matsubara stepping down as CEO.
Meanwhile, Tekken 8’s Season 2 patch misses the mark, forcing the old dev team to return for damage control.

- Guilty Gear Strive’s source code leaks, leading to Unika’s gameplay dropping early.
