If you're at Evo this year and you have the means, if you have any JP players in your pool, offer snacks/water bottles or even dinner if you can. $25 USD is currently 4k JPY (about $40 worth of purchasing power in Japan). Traveling in the US _hurts_ rn.

TL A girl in junior high came to Evo Japan with her parents and proceeded to run a train over the competition in a puzzle game released in 1997. A winners side run all the way through grand finals.
個人的にEVOJ初日で一番衝撃を受けたのがマネーアイドルエクスチェンジャーに出場していた女の子。保護者の方と来場していたプレイヤーで、まだ中学生とのこと。彗星の如く現れて、凄まじいレバー操作で見事W側のまま優勝。1997年に発売されたゲームでこの展開、格ゲー以外も熱かった。

For anyone who thinks VAs or localizers for games have a cushy job, here's the dub script for Cyberpunk 2077

"today at Caliburst some of the new folks from the UC Berkeley fgc group were asking how much money we made off our events."
wrote a little bit on cohost about how money can travel in our local fgc. just a little generosity can bring a lot of value!

Playing ST with a Smash kid:
Kid: How do you throw?
Me: Towards and a heavy.
Kid: Oh, MvC style?

Tldr; local arcades on average profit 6 yen per 100 put into non-prize games.
【淘汰の波】街のゲーセン、売上100円あたりの利益は平均「6円」

近年はクレーンゲームが主流となり、従来のアーケード機を主流とする店舗レイアウトでは集客力の維持が難しくなっている。さらに、電気料金の引き上げなど、運営コストの増加の影響もあるという。

Fun fact: @GO13151 's first trip to the US was sponsored pretty much solely due to his untouchability in Melty. That year I watched him bracket-lock 5 Animevo tournies and win every one of them, playing straight from Saturday morning until the hall closed. 1/2

If anyone wondered why NorCal Unist is the way it is, it's because even after an 80 man tournament, they'll be here, grinding sets

Seeing everyone at @norcaldogfight last night healed my heart. It's so good to see everyone again! As more and more people get their second dose, I look forward to catching up with even more of you :) Thanks, as always, for coming out.

It's 2023. Ono gets up on stage and after talk-shouting something incomprehensible over the mic, tries to get a selfie with everyone in the crowd doing Satsuki 623C
Not like Kamone and his team spent years on this or anything haha
Totally fine for an exec in another company to get the coverage on this I'm sure

I think a lot of my frustration in talking to my parents and an older generation of Asian people about what's happening in America can be boiled down to trying to cut through decades of calcified fear. Let me clarify a little more what I mean.

With every ounce of seriousness I have, let me say that my best, most satisfying moments in video games is when someone I taught a game becomes better than me at it.

Getting the word out, would appreciate it if you spread the word to your friends; GC events (office hours and tournaments) will be cancelled for the coming week. Infection rates are still CLIMBING. It's irresponsible to have a few dozen ppl in a warehouse all day. Updates to come

Sorry for the late post; huge thanks to everyone who organized and came to #RESSHOUMANIA ! Events like this really take me back to early 2010 FGC; it really fills the heart 😌 The dedication of @pattheflip @kohquette @AALanline and all the other Resshou staff stands as a...

Hi Everyone! The bivalent booster is out now and it offers protections against both strains of COVID. We will be requiring the new vaccine for all GC members starting December 2nd 2022 (the first Friday of December). Stay healthy and safe, all!

I kid you not, whenever I see or hear someone say "WHY IS *insert NorCal anime player name* FUCKING EVERYONE UP IN ST?" I have to sit down for a couple minutes to allow the uncontrollable laughter of sheer joy subside.
You know that feeling when you help someone that had no skill in playing fighting games at first, but you work at it rigorously, and now they are on stage winning and having the best time imaginable? THATS WHY I DO IT! #ProudTeacher

Given the current state of spread of the omicron variant, GC will be suspending operations for the coming week. Please please please take this opportunity to get your booster shot so when we open up again, everyone can be ready to go. Stay safe, and happy new year!

Lots of people may not be old enough to remember, but before Batman TAS, animation was almost exclusively vacuous drivel made to sell toys. B:TAS was the first series that gave children enough credit to tell them stories that commented on human nature, society,

Anyone old enough to remember this? Aka the biggest con job perpetrated on the American FGC?
You know kiddos, back in my heyday we only had three options. Either we got sticks made out of metal forged by a 5th generation Japanese blacksmith named hori, had to go to the Bronx to hustle a guy named Gerry (with a G) for a Mas stick, or we went to EB games for a pad 😡

This is what defund the police ACTUALLY means. All those things police get called for that would be better solved by someone NOT in body armor and with a loaded gun will now be handled by trained people not in body armor, without a loaded gun.

Out at 7th place in ST. Bittersweet. I was able to take one of my childhood idols John Choi down to the last point of hp, so I can't feel bad about that. But I was knocked out of tournament by someone I've beaten before; he's just improved past me. There's work yet to be done.

Harm reduction is still beneficial while addressing systemic issues. The point of these is that they're immediately implementable, without ballot measures or lengthy processes. At the very least, they will serve to show where your local politicians stand.

LRT: If there's only one lesson I can give, from my years as a gamer, is that it's ALWAYS, without exception, more effective to expand a community around a game or IP by sharing the joy it brings, rather than expressing scorn for those who don't know.

testament to the amazing things that come from loving your game and community; people will feel it and respond in kind. We, as a community, cannot thank them enough. Keep showing up. Keep being good to each other. Keep playing Guilty Gear. 🫡

It is always morally correct to bully corporations
Helldivers fans -- we’ve heard your feedback on the Helldivers 2 account linking update. The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.
We’re still learning what is best for PC players and your feedback has been invaluable. Thanks again for your continued support of Helldivers 2 and we’ll keep you updated on future plans.

Sponsored an international player who never had competed in a paying tournament to Evo, watching him go pro 2 years later, and see him eventually make a career of it, get married, and win Evo. :)
