Trash Talk

In 2007, Maximilian Dood pointed a camera at an arcade cab and recorded himself playing Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. 18 years, 8.4k videos, 1.86 million subs, and 1.5 billion channel views later, and Maximilian Dood has become the leading figure in content creation in the fighting game community. With his infectious passion, Max has brought hundreds of thousands of new people into the fold of fighting games and gaming culture as a whole. On this episode of Trash Talk, we discuss Max's humble origins, his journey to reach where he is today, and Max's perspective on the past, present, and future of the fighting game genre.

Prior to the release of 2XKO Season 1 and console release, RIOT games has flown out several influencers to preview the newest Champion, Caitlyn. With word of this getting out, the FGC is in outrage over how this compromises the competitive integrity of the game as major fighting game tournament Frosty Fausting's is right around the corner. However, this is not the first time fighting game pros have gotten unfair advantages in competitive play, so Brian and iDom will cover the history of unequal early access in FGs such as the Ban the Testers movement for Injustice 1 and the Street Fighter 6 Beta Crack

On this episode of Extra Trashy, we're joined by  @iDomNYC  and  @Robtvplays  to get the bottom of an epidemic in the world of Street Fighter... the downplay. Who downplays the hardest? The Ryu mains? The Mai mains? Maybe the Sagat players? Let us know what you think in the comments.Episode: Extra Trashy #24Recorded on: December 29th 2025Follow us:
