One year ago this Wednesday, Kenny and Nick (that's me!) started this fighting games podcast and it's still going strong... SO WE'RE CELEBRATING!!!
A random screencap from Marvel Super Heroes because, well... why not?
For our anniversary-cast, Kenny and I reveal the secret origin of the HyperComboCast and share some factoids about ourselves. Plus, we answer an unexpected phone call from Kenny's mom, who talks about her love for the Dead or Alive series.
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! The Hairicane has arrived to help Nick get a handle on Justice League Task Force. Released in 1995 for Sega Genesis and SNES, this weird fighter features some of DC Comics most famous heavy-hitters.
NOTE: In this episode, we share our non-expert opinions on the Genesis version, which is pretty different from its SNES counterpart.
ALSO NOTE: All of the incredible ass shots we caught in our screencaps.
Unlike the Marvelous competition produced by Capcom, JLTF is a relatively obscure video game...
...and after playing it for two hours, it's pretty obvious why this this Condor, Sunsoft, and Acclaim production isn't often cited in the annals of fighting game history.
Still, we enjoyed the shit out of it, especially the music by Matt Uelmen.
JLTF is highly recommend to players who like retro gaming and a good laugh.
Plus, listener feedback from David Rodriguez and a special 8-bit version of Felicia's UMvC3 theme song as performed by MrBulbamike (check him out on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter).
After that, it's some hardcore WW7 conversation! Kenny details the game's evolution as a sorta-sequel to SUNSOFT's Galaxy Fight: Universal Warriors, and Nick compares the feel of the game to a hybrid of Pocket Fighter and Darkstalkers.
Then Kenny runs down the Waku Waku 7 characters... which include a farting robot, a chubby bunny monster, a super-powered android maid, and a police robot piloted by a Mario lookalike and his dog.
Of course, that's not all -- Kenny discusses the game's fighting system and Nick shares some thoughts about WW7's depth and design. Plus, after the end theme, a musical treat.

Then, after the end theme -- in a shocking turn of events! -- Nick goes rogue and talks about a beat 'em up (GASP!) called Dynamite Cop, and how it changed his life for the better after his lackluster experience with SFxTK.
Kenny Riot brings John "ZanSam" Amenta back to discuss what attracts them to certain fighting games.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm a dick!!! If you've listened to the AudioShocker Podcast before, you probably already know that. Anyway, this episode has some audio issues (background, heavy echo, noises), so I've included a special "Nick the dick" intro on this episode for future guests of the HyperComboCast and the AudioShocker in general. HAPPY LISTENING! - Nick
Kenny Riot discusses how YouTube video creator, Miles923 a.k.a. Maxamillian of "Assist Me", basically said everything else he could've said about all the current controversy surrounding Street Fighter X Tekken.
Instead, Kenny proposes an idea for a convention for fighting games, after telling all you listeners to rep AudioShocker at it's fullest.
