Fighting Game Community (FGC) General - The history of FGC drama, general FGC shenanigans, and directory to more eccentric individuals and subcultures within the community

I think this is going to turn out similar to the zoosadist leaks, where after the initial perpetrators were discovered, it's going to be revealed that pretty much all the high level and active members of the community were at least fully aware it was going on, even if not directly involved themselves.
The big difference being fgcs are going to go overboard and throw anyone they're asked to to the wolves to try and appease muh e-sports, while furries closed rank and protected the pedos and animal rapists. Going to be interesting to keep an eye on this once direct accusers start placing other names at the scene with knowledge the abuse was happening.
 
The greatest danger is to have the fame going to your head and becoming so unlikeable even your fanbase can't stand you anymore.

Or you molest a child.
A slip of the tongue, a change in algorithms, or shifting trends will leave you penniless if you don't have a plan B.

No successful Youtuber is successful because of ad revenue alone, though. They're making deals, getting sponsored, and generally investing to perpetuate their wealth, especially with how finicky Youtube's ad revenue system is.
 
Hey @Null, might be time to update the headline. They cancelled Mr. Wizard so hard that tons of big companies backed out of EVO 2020, so now the event itself is cancelled too. The biggest fighting game competition in the world just got cancelled by one man's bad penis decisions and now DSP is dancing on its grave. :story:
Phil seems like he's actually having fun with this...Based?
 
This is the best timeline. I can only hope and pray we get to drag some game journalists down into the cesspit as well.
Sadly game journos gave minimal coverage to EVO results and coverage and therefore can't be dragged in, since they didn't like video games that had been out for more than 2 months in the first place. Publishers weren't paying them to cover EVO and their decade-old games.
 
You're missing the point. I mentioned PDP as the ur-example of the sort of thing that can help you against getting canceled: building your own community, around you, as a person. As I said, personality-driven.
You know who built his own cancel-proof community?
This guy.
You know what it earns him?
Not much.

I'm sorry, what?! Dare I ask why? DDR hasn't ben relevent since DDRX came out and everyone shat on it for being terrible, it's only gone downhill from there, especially since their songlist has casual shit in it.

The version released 4 years ago (DDR A) was the first American release since X/X2 that didn't have shit machines, was connected to Konami's online services like the rest of Asia, and had a widespread distribution in chains like Dave & Busters and Round1 so it kinda had a mini-revival? Also it meant qualifying for Konami's BEMANI-wide "world championship" in Japan for the first time so the US players could finally btfo the Japanese alongside the one Korean who was already crushing the Japanese and probably would've continued if not for mandatory military service.


Not to bash too much on casual shit, but you kinda need casual shit nowadays to attract casual players who don't know anything besides "Butterfly". Like that's mostly why Guitar Hero/Rock Band/Just Dance took off eventually while DDR started tanking.

My fringe guess; DDR must be really popular with Troons/progressive types and they'll try to save face by having some fags in drag dancing to Ariana Grande or some K-Pop.

As someone who plays sorta seriously, but isn't really a part of the "community," it's pretty much this minus the Ariana Grande/K-Pop part (can't risk stream being taken down for copyright) though it can get more of a workout than that. It's just the loudest people have been constantly screeching "DDR NEEDS TO BE AN E-SPORT TO BE RELEVANT AGAAAAAAAAIN" not realizing that:
  • DDR is cliche and boring as hell to watch after awhile
  • All gameplay is practically the same, there is no "strategy" besides step on arrow and don't fuck up more than your opponent
  • If you want to practice outside of tournaments, you have to either be near an arcade chain with the latest version, or be part of some super secret tight dark web-like clique and pirate arcade data + shell out $$$$ to have your own machine and a place to play it in, because Konami is nippon ass backwards.
  • Konami is strict as hell when it comes to streaming any of the latest versions of their games outside of Japan that isn't at an arcade chain like Dave & Busters or Round1. Again because Konami is nippon ass backwards.

Forgive my naivete, but who's that? At first I thought it was someone blasting Cuellar, but I guess they're actually defending him? It was difficult to read amidst the confession on how much he loves cock.

Also forgot to mention, if this tournament will be organized by LTG and DSP, you will not be allowed to use characters which LTG deems as "braindead" in the Street Fighter tournament. It just so happens that you'll only be left with 1/10 of the roster to choose from.

No shotos, no zoners, no mirrors, no vortex, no oki, no super, no ex moves, no ultra, no super, no vtrigger, no assist tournament

It's gonna be Divekick!

Makes sense. I used to be super hardcore, dark web-like into PiU back in 2006-2011. Andamiro wasn't super anti-piracy and plenty of people modified their cabinets to include unlicensed songs and charts (6 minute DragonForce songs with charts that make you look like a possessed sperg experiencing cardiac arrest in an attempt to build stamina vs licensed tracks for competition), but they did start being super into K-Pop and faggotry as the 10s rolled on, bringing with them plenty of troons and weirdos who played on easy charts all day and hogged the cabinets, eventually leading many of the former comp groups to slowly lose interest. Andamiro's tournaments also garnered more interest in choreographed "performance" charts in contrast to feats of coordination & rhythm like the prior decade.

Eventually my husband and I just bought custom platforms, hooked them up to a small PC, installed Stepmania and play in our basement.

It's a shame; the scene was really something I cherished in my teenage years and seeing it replaced with K-Pop fags and fat troons who think stepping on 3 notes at once is a feat reminds me of everything else IdPol-tards seize and diminish.
