Live On Three is hosted by Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham, Rod "Slasher" Breslau & Scott "SirScoots" Smith and will air today at 7 PM EST.
Episode #70 airs today as first show back, with Mortal Kombat 9's recent release as the main topic of discussion. PowerUp 2011 occurred this past weekend with major tournaments and an EVO qualifier for Super Street Fighter 4, Marvel vs Capcom 3, Tekken 6, and Mortal Kombat 9. To much of everyone's surprise, Mortal Kombat 9 had the most concurrent viewers of any game on stream, and had as much or more hype than Marvel and Street Fighter.
LO3 #70's special guests will be Evil Geniuses' Justin Wong, PowerUp 2011 MK9 Champion Tom Brady, and MadCatz's MarkMan. We will discuss if MK9 can be a stable high-end competitive fighting game with the likes of Street Fighter, Marvel and Tekken, how the game feels from a longtime Capcom player, and if the popularity will continue after the PDP and EVO tournaments. Additionally, there was much controversy at PowerUp regarding bracket changes in SSF4, and accusations that Justin Wong purposely lost to Noel Brown in the Loser's Bracket Finals. Inkblot appeared on Wakeup SRK this morning, Justin and EG manager SirScoots will be addressing these issues.
