@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 !
