Imagine ruining the joy of so many people depressed by a global pandemic by shutting down their brilliant solution to play the game safely with others from their own homes. It really seems like
@NintendoAmerica
doesn't care about them.
Game designers: "We share your video around the office and discuss them when they come out."
Educators: "Could you make a version without swearing so I can use them in class?"
r/Games: NOTHING TO DISCUSS HERE
I still can't believe there's a Simpsons episode where Homer gets good at a fighting game by grinding in an arcade. It was even a year before Street Fighter II came out. Homer is the ultimate OG.
Some people have wondered why there are so many Asians on my channel, so allow me to explain. I live in Asia. Let me know if you have any further questions.
I'm officially a family man now. Been together for over 12 years, so it was about time. Like a best friend, she's always there for me and keeps me looking forward to tomorrow.
After 4 months of grinding, we finally finished our new studio/fighting game venue in Seoul. Core-A Studios will provide content services in the day and beatdown sessions at night. This Friday we're doing a grand opening and you're welcome to join! See
@CoreAEvents
for details.
I've been focusing on video work to pay rent for our FGC venue that's been closed for half a year due to covid. Filming Blackpink for Google pays more than making videos about sonic booms (read: hire us our portfolio is dope). That said, new uploads will resume this month!
Aside from being backed by a giant like Riot, Project L is exciting to me because it's being made by people who have been solving fighting game problems for decades, from tournament organizing all the way to netcode. Love what I'm seeing, and I hope we get more updates soon.
Really cool to see the throwback to the ASSIST ME! series on the UMvC3

stream. It's insane to think this level of FGC content existed over 9 years ago.

Here's a cool story, bros. I won $200 for winning this game at Evo 2019 (more than what people got for 7th in Tekken!). I wanted to support the devs, so I returned the money in exchange for Steam codes. They gave me way too many, so I've been hiding them in my videos.
People "ruining" party games by playing serious is hilarious to me because it makes "non-serious" players get the most serious.
"Chill bro go easy, we're just having fun with this party game. Also, you have no friends and will never experience intimacy."
Crazy, there's now a
@riotgames
booth at the Incheon airport where you can play Valorant/League or sit in a lounge area during downtime.
@OOOD85
won some swag for getting a high score in an aim game, good job bro.
What's great about fighting games is that we get to see players express such diverse play styles/philosophies and watch them clash in competition. I think this is why anything that credibly threatens to homogenize the players creates controversy in the FGC.
We got stamp cards now. Come 12 times, and get one free visit + drink. ์คํฌํ 12๊ฐ๋ฅผ ๋ชจ์ผ์๋ฉด 1ํ ๋ฌด๋ฃ ์ ์ฅ๊ณผ ํ๋ฆฌ๋๋งํฌ๊ฐ ์ ๊ณต๋ฉ๋๋ค. Check

Covid-19 has made things difficult, but it's allowed me to buckle down and work on some videos. Beginning of April will launch with an analysis video, and another analysis for May/June. Also, a new channel is in the works. Thanks for waiting and stay safe out there.
Yesterday, our apartment building caught on fire which started in a restaurant. Everyone got out safely, but just a reminder to know your fire escape routes and have carriers ready for your cats.
Thank you
@draggles
for the tour of the
@riotgames
LA office. It was nice to chat about Project L and the FGC, learned a lot. You guys also have really high quality food, I'm jealous. Off to NorCal now!
2XKO reminds me of game names like "Capture the Flag" where the title is the game's objective. Not having any reference to the motif with an IP like LoL is extremely bold and actually pretty sick. This is the biggest gameplay-over-graphics flex you could make, lol.
I hope
@riotgames
understands that the FGC celebrates players playing multiple fighting games. Knowing the FG background of a player is often key to understanding their playstyle, and I hope commentators will be allowed to mention those other games.
Itโs still just a hypothetical situation, but pretty disappointing seeing players say, โIโd drop everything for the Riot Fighter if they forced an exclusivity contract.โ
All those years built up to this?
After a month of insulin shots twice day and blood tests 5 to 7 times a day all at home, we got Pancho's diabetes into remission (no longer needs insulin). Cheers to a long life of standing in front of my screen when I'm playing ranked.
Happy New Year! My resolution for 2023 is to become a full on content creator again.
Last year, we were so busy with client work I barely had time for my channel. But this allowed us to grow our team, and now I have more time for Core-A Gaming again. Pretty excited for 2023!
Finally got around to my stick art experiment where I take a thin veneer of flame maple wood and dye it like you see on guitars. Would be cool to see how good a pro could do it.

Okay! The Legendary Wolf himself from the Fatal Fury series, Terry Bogard, will be joining the Super
#SmashBrosUltimate
roster as DLC fighter 4. Look forward to his release this November.
Got tired of borrowing/dragging PCs around when traveling, so I made a mini-itx build for editing/gaming. Thing's tiny but takes full sized GPUs!

It's amazing to see how much people appreciate peaceful protesters these days. I remember when they were called sons of bitches by the president. Is this progress?
Just realized fighting game notation can make for some easy to remember strong passwords. For example: CH,d/f+2,pewgf (obviously, don't use that ever now).

I was kindly invited to do a TEDx talk at Yonsei University. It'll be on Nov. 25th and be about making video essays. Finally, an actual excuse for delaying my content :)

Anytime I see a match up list itโs always 5-5 for the mirror match you are making it for or they are not part of it
Donโt you think some mirror matches could be a bad match up? I donโt think its 5-5 all the time depending on the game maybe?
Pancho was diagnosed with diabetes today. Vet wasn't sure why as his pancreas and weight were fine. I just gave him his first insulin shot, and he took it like a champ.
Just played Guilty Gear Strive sets from Korea to US west and east coast, and it felt great. 150 to 250 ms ping with little to no teleporting. Makes me want to grind.
People saying Go1 should have put on heaphones, but why is no one suggesting he bring his own screeching friend to fight back? Oh yeah, because that would be annoying as fuck.
