Hello to everyone introduced to me through Street Fighter 6’s in-game commentary! I’ve been a fan of Fighting Games for over 30 years, now. I consider myself the biggest fanboy of the Fighting Game Community in the world, and I hope I can share that love with you here. ➡️⬇️↘️+❤️

I can imagine her conversation later that day.
"Hey, pretty cool: someone named Antony Hawk at testing today said they were directly related to Tony Hawk!"
"Tony? As in... short for Anthony?"
"Yeah. I asked b/c the name Hawk is...
...oh god.
Oh GOD I'm an idiot!!!" O_o

The most important thing to take away from this tragedy, IMO, is to not give in to the fear. Do not let this stop enjoying the things that we love. Keep going to events, keep pursuing your passions. Keep doing the things you love. We can’t live life in fear.

To help understand why I have the imposter syndrome that I do and why I’m always so hard on and disappointed in myself:

This is one of the most crushing losses for the FGC. Mike “BrolyLegs” Begum has been one of the most positive forces and greatest inspirations in the FGC. Few people have had the self awareness and joy he did, and to say he will be missed is an understatement. RIP BrolyLegs.
To fans of Brolylegs and the people whose lives he touched and inspired. Please take the time to share your moments and memories of this amazing person. The family wishes to continue to share his story with the world and celebrate from now til forever this amazing man.

My take on the Fighting Game difficulty thing: Street Fighter V, I still believe, is one of the hardest fighting games to get into, despite its reputation as an “easy” game. Why? The game doesn’t reward you. It does nothing to make you feel cool. Special Moves are weak.

This has stirred up a lot of discussion. The main things I have to say are:
1) Under Night 2 exists. Anyone who complains about fighting game trends, you owe it to yourself to play UNI2.
2) If you agree with this but also complain about Zoners and Grapplers, this is your fault.
Fighting games nowadays been taking away from unique play styles and that kinda sucks, it was nice seeing different styles rather it be lame,aggressive,neutral based,etc……..
now they are just trying to make everyone play Rushdown style which i just don’t think suits everyone.

This is awesome! This means if I buy an NFT that’s a buff to Ryu’s Fireball in SFV, I get to give King a Fireball in Tekken 7 for free! And Potemkin in Guilty Gear Strive as well! This is revolutionary! It just *works*!

A lot of people might not know this, but Dan was created specifically to make fun of Art of Fighting. He’s Ryo with Robert’s Head. He was designed as a clapback to SNK continually making SF clones. That’s why he sucks. So these similarities are just continuing the theme.

ADVICE: Take one trip to the local Walgreens on the Strip. Buy a fat ton of water bottles. Store them in your hotel. Ice is free on every floor.
The Evo floor will have water stations, however. So this is for all times you need water in your room.

Note to Fighting Game Devs:
By the time you have Season 3, loyal fans have bought every season up to then. By not providing bundles for the game *with* ALL previous seasons, you are hurting your POTENTIAL new fanbase and you will lose money.

Never say, “Why can’t you just be happy?“ Or tell them, “Look how many people have it worse than you!“ Making someone feel bad about being depressed is the absolute worst thing you can do.

Honestly the hardest part for intermediate players is that they need individual attention. Every intermediate player has different problems, so it’s almost impossible to make tutorials for “intermediate players”. There’s so many different issues they could be facing.
There's this funny curve where the FGC is really supportive of beginners and top level players but if you're an intermediate player you can just eat shit and die.
