Since I will be doing a big trip here next week, I figured I would document my trip! I will be going to Combo Breaker, and then I will be traveling to 3 different Six Flags corp Parks!

I feel like my journey has been super interesting lately. Between school, competing, and commentary, I have been so lucky to be able to do all of them simultaneously. BUT I WANT TO BE STRONGER

With the anime awards thought it would be cool to post this for posterity. I REALLY loved both Frieren: Beyond Journies End and Apothecary Diaries, and these results reflect that.

Feels good to do well at locals after doing so poorly at showdown, but I know I have a lot to work on before Combo Breaker and EVO. I feel like I have the right drive right now to do well in bracket, I just need to practice well and stay positive.

I took a lot of L's in bracket at Showdown, but I had an overall great time. Def the best Texas Showdown I have been to so far, with very few complaints overall. Hope to do better if I ever get another chance at a Showdown bracket, but its not looking likely next year.

Just wrapped credits on Monster Hunter Wilds and it was a joy to play! All the small gameplay updates in this game add up to a much less annoying experience and improve upon the already great hunting gameplay. No full review is coming, but it's great, and you should get it.

Signed up for Evo! I don't know if I will be able to make it this year for sure, but I am confident in my ability to figure it out. Evo has been a true treat these past 2 years, so I can't wait to see what it offers and compete at the biggest tournament of the year yet again.

I will not be writing an article about it, but I recently dove into Zenless Zone Zero and it has kind of impressed me! It's not a masterpiece but its story was getting me interested by the time I hit the last chapter. Can't wait for more story!

It feels weird knowing that Frosty Faustings is happening this weekend and I am not going. I have so many good memories of going to Frostys and I hope next year works out in my favor to go back. Good luck to all of the Texas homies who are going though!

I made a end of year write up about the best games I played this year. Some are new and 1 is a old, but I think its been a great year to play games and I played some definite fantastic ones. maxdavisarticles.blogspot.com/2024/12/best...

Best games I played this year : 2024 edition

I played more games this year than I ever have. This included quite a few new for 2024 fighting games like Tekken 8, Under-Night Inbirth 2 ...

Sonic 3 knows what it is and I am so happy that it does. It perfectly contrasts with other movies based on comics and video games that do not understand why people like those properties. It was fun, it had Jim Carrey hamming it up, I recommend it.

Got 65th in street fighter 6 and 17th in BBCF yesterday at CEOtaku. I was quite close to making it out again but I think my lack of motivation to grind recently really bit me. StilI, had a great time commentating some Strive and I'm looking forward to today where I will be doing bbcf top 8.

Max davis (HoloFGC) @ Combo Breaker @maxdavisjournalist.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I am insanely tired from traveling, but I am happy to announce that I will be doing multiple commentary blocks this weekend for #CEOtaku. I'll say something when doing them but I am so excited to be part of such a great cast of commentators this year at taku.

Interesting year for my twitch watching. So much good fighting game stuff happened this year so I am not surprised those are my most watched people. Here's to another great year on twitch I guess.

Never been prouder of what I accomplished in a single semester. I made a lot of good work and I am proud I did. Only one left till it's over 🥳

Kind of fascinated by Arcane's ability to make me care about League of Legends but I do love me a good animated show. It Stood out in so many ways and looked fantastic at all times.

I am finally at the final part of Metaphor ReFantazio and the thing that stands out to me the most is still the world and its themes. The game has so much to say about society and the messages and metaphors (ha) are much more natural than Persona 5.

On a brighter note, I am 35 hours into Metaphor: Refantasio, and I can confidently say it's my favorite Atlus story. I am not sure if the gameplay is as good as something like Persona 5, but the context of the story makes me enjoy it a lot more than that game. Article when I finish but it's great.

Shout out to anyone who got their Epic Universe tickets today! I can't afford to spend that much to go for one day, but the ticket situation seems promising enough right now to get just a single day when those go on sale. I'm glad that other than the price, it was not that hard to get tickets.

Max davis (HoloFGC) @ Combo Breaker @maxdavisjournalist.bsky.social · 17/10/2024

It sucks that Universal is making me buy a 3-day ticket for just 1 day at Epic Universe next year but I should have expected that. I'm glad I still have family in Orlando because otherwise, it would be way too expensive for me to plan a trip next summer.
