Can you love something and be viscerally disgusted by it at the same time? Doesn’t something have to break? City of the Wolves would likely not exist without the Public Investment Fund. SNK probably wouldn’t either, and I can’t blame anyone who developed this game for using this opportunity to make something they loved. But people like Ronaldo get thrown out of the fighting game community. Guys like Infiltration, a multiple-time EVO champion who was convicted of beating his wife, and TempestNYC, another EVO champion who couldn’t keep his hands to himself. The list goes on. This community is deeply queer, largely made up of people of color, and extremely protective of its grassroots origins and the people in it. Corporate, moneyed influence is something it — no, we — have always fought against because this community is ours. We built it. It’s not for sale. Every year, some of the greatest fighting game players in the world turn down the chance to compete at the Esports World Cup for life-changing money because it is funded by the Public Investment Fund and they do not feel safe, as queer people, in Saudi Arabia. I’m sure City of the Wolves will headline the next event in Riyadh next year, and more people will have to decide what they believe. At some point, you are who you choose to be.

Will feature 9 characters (Tizoc being the one not available last time) and Training mode.

Did anyone try it out in the previous beta? And if so, what did you think?

So who’s watching capcom cup? Anyone you’re excited to see? I always hope Punk does well. Any steamers you prefer for it? Tier predictions?

The venue this year looks interesting, I don’t really get it but something about being important in sumo?

It starts 12 pm jst 3/5, so very soon.

I made a post here a few days ago complaining about content all being elsewhere, which was nice to vent, but doesn't really help the situation. Now I've decided to be the change.

Let's actually talk a little. What games do you all play? Tell me what you like about them!

Personally I've always been big into Street Fighter. I enjoy almost any fighting game, but the SF series is the one that I have by far put the most time into. I'm having a blast with SF6, even if I am just a diamond rated scrub. :D

Just venting, but if you want to avoid Twitter it means missing out on easily 90% of FGC activity, and the remaining 10% is almost all Discord and Reddit.

RIP SRK.

I just love this game, and it's neat to see some background on it. Also cool to see FGC content from smaller channels like this.

Mai from Fatal Fury promises to warm you up when she bounces in to #StreetFighter6 on February 5. Don't keep her waiting or she'll use her ninja trickery on you.

LMAO

Sega has officially announced the development of a new Virtua Fighter game.

  • Justin Scarpone, Sega’s global head of transmedia, confirmed during an interview with VGC that a new Virtua Fighter game is in the works.
  • Key Points:
  • The last mainline release, Virtua Fighter 5, was released almost two decades ago in 2006.
  • Since then, only minor appearances of Virtua Fighter characters have been seen, such as in the Yakuza series and Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown.
  • Speculations point towards this game possibly being Virtua Fighter 6.

This news marks a significant milestone for the series, which has been somewhat dormant in recent years. What do you think about this development? How might we see Virtua Fighter evolve in the future?
