Listen "FP16 - There are Characters and Affiliations and Things Happen"

Episode Synopsis

This week, we all Evolved for EVO 2024, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world. We're talking about all the juicy announcements, the tightest plays we saw, and all things fighting games. We played some Guilty Gear, some Tekken, and some Street Fighter 6 to get us into the EVO mindset, with varying degrees of success. Tristan's going pro with his Azucena, whereas I'm a Slayer main now. We've got an episode jam packed with movie and TV reviews, tons of news, and we try to beat the heat with a beachcore aesthetic. This is Frame Perfect.
