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.

In other news:

• Elena finally gets her Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer—but does she still have that annoying healing?
• Mortal Kombat 1 support ends with a Definitive Edition—what’s next for NetherRealm?
• Guilty Gear Strive’s source code leaks, leading to Unika’s gameplay dropping early.
• And Nintendo nukes the Super Smash Bros. dating app ("Smash Together") before it even launches. Why? (We have theories.)

Tune in for the hottest (and messiest) FGC news of the week! 🔥🎮
