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

Since this thread is a little dead, I figure I'd contribute something

So for those of you that remember my post about a guy named neogeomaster I did a little digging out of boredom. For those of you that don't know I'l give a brief description. He's known in the FightCade scene as "The French DSP" because anytime you do good against him he will bitch at you saying you're a cheater who's using autofire/macros.

A basic match with neogoemaster will end like this...

Turn's out he's pretty much made a name for himself outside of FightCade because searching for him on Twitter yield a bunch of different posts (including the pics above) making fun of him because of the aforementioned rage posts after a match, the fact that he uploads his matches on YouTube with titles like "X is a cheater who uses macros". But it's not just FightCade, apparently he's a SFV player too and pulls the same ragequit shit on there as well.

He also seems to have a profile on EventHubs but he's been banned. However, his replies are still visible, and I know it's him because around page 6 one of his replies has that famous "cheater using macros/autofire" line. What really surprised me is that someone vandalized the KOF98 page in Wikipedia to add that "in 2010 was come KOF98 UMFE with better balances between all characters only in Japan in Nesica but since 16th december 2014, steam version released and one of the best kof player in europe neogeomaster help newbies over the world!!!"... Yes, this actually happened, and it was posted by this IP address

He also has an account on a site called CowCotLand, and if you can guess, he's banned from there as well

I tried archiving the twitter page, but the archive didn't save/show ALL the replies from the original twitter search.

So a company named Arika made a follow up game to their Street Fighter EX series called Fighting EX Layer. Being a Japanese fighter, it naturally has shitty netcode. However, for some reason they've decided to improve it over a year after anybody gave a shit. But, now the dev is butthurt that someone uploaded the beta.

Personally I haven't played Fighting EX Layer, but I used to play Street Fighter EX 1/2/3 back in the day and they were pretty cool games, nothing noteworthy, but the Arika specific characters were fun to use (especially Darun Mister... the EX games are the ONLY games where I can actually pull off 360 moves without issues). I've seen gameplay of Fighting EX Layer and it looked fun. I always wanted to try out "Classic Mode" to see if it played exactly like SFEX.

Regarding that tweet, he comes off as a five year old, especially with that "fart poo" line at the end. If he was smart he would sit back and watch what people would do to the code to see if they could improve it and then he could work with them to implement it in the game. You know, ACTUAL fan feedback.

People have been noticing and showing interest in their game for the first time since it was announced and this dummy is going to throw a tantrum and just drain the hype before it manages to gain momentum.

If you think this is something, wait until you see what goes on in the Poverty FGC. Specifically in my neck of the woods, the Heritage for the Future community. I actually helped write a document that talks about all the bullshit that goes on in the community, however the original author claimed that releasing it would ruin their “reputation” in the community so we never released it. Well screw that. Here’s a link to the document if you’re interested, it’s quite the long read.

Small update on this: It wasn't the beta that was leaked, it was an arcade build of the game, it didn't even have online and it doesn't have any of the DLC.

A fighting game server turning to shit because they started catering to people who didn't bother even playing the game on the most casual level but just wanted a social club? Man, this sounds like every fighting game server I was ever in. Glad I ditched that stupid client.
Still, it's a shame every time it happens.

Discord was a mistake. Twitter too. Fucking gameFAQs would be a better place to try to teach players and aggregate resources for niche games, but unfortunately there isn't a better way for finding or organizing matches.

There was a time before social media like discord, and fighting games were most popular long before that.

so wait, no melee at evo even though it pulls in the numbers, but DDR is fine?

DDR is one of those games that has a small, but extremely dedicated playerbase. Everyone who plays it to any serious extent has been doing so since it was relevant, and usually started around 16-20 years ago. I wouldn't be surprised at the notion that it's getting more popular again due to Round1 being in just about every major metropolitan area in the USA now, what with every Round1 having at least one DDR A20 machine.

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.

In my eyes, DDR is dead. The moment Konami cut ties with TOSHIBA-EMI and the Dancemania license is the moment they stabbed it in the heart, and every series since then has been just one frankenstein freak-show. Dancemania was what made DDR what it was in the first place.

Hell, not to mention, we had an entire decade of Betson cabinets and the lifeless husks that were Supernova onwards, with X3 through 2014 not even getting a release in the west, and Konami getting restrictive to an insane degree with cabinets needing permanent internet connections, and only being allowed to run at authorized locations. But DDR A is alright, the new cabinets are pretty good, and DDR finally has plenty of tougher charts with difficulties in that goldilocks zone between Cartoon Heroes and Max 300. (not that the bosses still aren't retarded)

With DDR 2013 onwards, Touhou songs are pretty much the new Dancemania. So that'll attract a lot of new weebs.

I’ve got something to keep an eye on due to Tekken’s project lead being a bit volatile when criticized. According to Arslan Ash, widely acknowledged to be best Tekken player in the world, Fahkumram has been banned from most Pakistani tournaments.
I’ve already sperged here about how that game’s recent updates have been bad, but a SF2-esque Akuma ban appears to be a big escalation.

rip Ono-san, you were apparently a scumbag that had more losses than hits, but you did single-handedly revive fighting games from the dead with sf4.

Here's who replaced him...the SF6 gachas will be fantastic I'm sure.

In more lighthearted news, there was a female-only tournament on the first of this month in SF5. Queens of Quarantine. It went basically as could be expected.

Sorry for the double-post, but this thread is dead and I think this is important enough to warrant a second post. The FGC is also dead, thanks to corona-chan and the Japanese requiring non-working netcode in their games. Fortunately there's a solution to the second problem that's giving all fighting games with inferior netcode a second chance.

The app is called Parsec. It is a screen-sharing service that has low-latency support. This allows players to play couch games online, which is incredibly important for multiplayer games, and infinitely so for fighting games. Gems Chen ran a Soul Calibur VI tournament last week on parsec named SoulCal Distancing and is running one on his twitch channel at the time of this posting. Maximillion_DOOD is playing Marvel 3 online through parsec also at the time of this posting. If anyone has tried playing these games online they'll know playing these games, let alone running a tournament, is actually impossible, and with the recent SFV CPT online tournament being absolutely dreadful for the players this should be good news. I tried running some sets with the typically abysmal GBFV online with a buddy, even though we're in the same city it ran fantastic. It's not as good as games with actually good netcode, but it is leagues better than any other option otherwise.

If any of you autists ever wished to actually play a superior nihongers fighting game online, this is your ticket. Since none of the big studios will ever make good netcode a thing, give this a shot. It's free and you only need the host to run the game, the client doesn't even have to have the game at all.

So I'm guessing this is like FightCade 2 except with newer games as well?

Also apparently SonicFox gave his stamp of approval on this... although not sure if its the same one... his twitter handle is different.
