I will  preface this by saying that there are many good, well-meaning guys (and gals) in the fighting game community but there is one overbearing attitude that I wish would change… when we look at fighting game fans online they seem to be the worst fans of anything based on the way they treat their pros. If you are unfamiliar with this scene I will say that if you are a pro with massive accolades the kids who look up to... 

Evolution 2012 World Championship has just ended in Las Vegas and man what a great showing this year. For those that are unfamiliar, EVO is one of the largest fighting game tournaments in the World. Players from different regions compete against one another in a no holds barred match using muscle memory, wit, and complete skills. Some of the games featured this year were Super Street Fighter 4 AE 2012, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom... 

I haven’t been online for a week or so but I am going to wager that after the disappointing defeat of Daigo’s Yun by Poongko’s god-tier Seth, I will not be seeing as many clone twins as I did prior to EVO. I’m just saying, don’t be mad at me, the finals had two old schoolers in Fei Long and dat bish Crimson Viper squaring off – who would have guessed! And while it wasn’t the most exciting... 

It was a little after Soul Calibur IV when it became painfully obvious that my beloved fighting game genre was in danger. The 2D monsters of yester-year were either ancient classics like Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, or flashy distractions like Guilty Gear (do not pretend that this game series was impactful).

Given the surety that anything that can make you famous will come with a good number of groupies and fanbois, I don’t believe the thought to be far-fetched. Now we already know that there are a ton of fanbois that worship the master of their... 

A recent topic arose on whether or not we should interview a local Street Fighter 4 champ in order to clue potential readers in on a few things that would make them better in competition. While Batman333 thought it would be a good idea to discuss timing, execution etc. with a tournament caliber Street Fighter player, Greg Dragon thought differently based on the trend of the internet and negative experiences he had with new-school... 

Hello everyone out there! The bat happened to swing his way out to San Diego Comic-Con 2008. Low and behold I got my dirty paws on one of the most anticipated games out there Street Fighter 4! To spice things up I entered a SF4 tourney held by Capcom only to find that my dreams of becoming a reigning SF champ would soon be crushed by the SF legend: Alex “F-ing” Valle folks! Well do a Wiki on him or something if you...
