Played SO MUCH guilty gear in San Antonio between the tournament at San Japan and playing with the locals. GG everyone, really needed it.
Managed to win the event too but it wasn't clean, but it's a new patch so baby steps
Back home tomorrow night ๐๐พ
Today was quite the day! Everything ran about as smooth as possible through and through. 16 PS5 setups? From the community? Damn.
Thank you to EVERYONE who showed up, tuned in, and helped out for San Antonio's first big SF6 tournament. Y'all are godlike.

475 days ago, we had what we didn't know would be our last FGC community night for a long time.
RCR and overall growth was on an upswing until Covid came crashing through.
Now with Otaku Cafe re-opened, starting July 7th we're back.
Mask up cowboys, we got work to do
The offline social aspect of the fighting game community is its strongest feature over other competitive video game communities. The bonds built through offline competition and traveling to events are something that should be focused on and fostered. Support your fuckin locals.
I think a lot of people would have a better outlook on the FGC if they went to locals and talked with homies more. If your main interaction with it is ranked, online tourneys, matchmaking discords, stream chats, and twitter discourse. No wonder youre gonna grow to resent it lol
Wall to wall fighting games last night. Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Skullgirls, Xrd, Granblue, MK1, Strive, UMVC3 and more! Why arenโt you in this photo?
The Showdown has completed and we now return to our old standard of Wednesday casuals. Join the San Antonio FGC at Otaku Cafรฉ for Console Freeplay!
Most people show up between 5 - 11.
There is no food or drink allowed in the arcade area!

A lot of wonderful people were inquiring about how they can donate to Andy's family because they will be unable to make the charity tourney at the end of the month. A long time friend of Andy/the family has created a GoFundMe that can be found here:

I (Eric) have been vocal in the past about my dislike on how San Japan has dealt with our local FGC but this kind of disappointment is on a whole different level. I implore yโall to consider how yโall support yโalls interests.
This is the owner of San Japan, a popular Texas con. This is what they are saying privately in response to why they donโt invite POC guests to San Japan. This thinking is extremely flawed and should be reconsidered.
It's been a sweaty month. Lotta competitions, lotta heat. Lets chill out and have a lil bit of fun this River City Rushdown.
Tekken and UNICLR double elim, Strive S3+Johnny tournament 2 days in, and SF6 2v2 team battle. Let's do this.

Yesterday concluded San Antonio FGC's RCR monthlies for the 2023 year. Closed out the season with a 5 game bash. There are still SAFGC events to look out for in November and December (like our fgc xmas party), but until then here is the thread for yesterday's results:
HEADS UP! Unfortunate news but we have 2-3 confirmed Covid cases from this weekend's event. If you were at River City Rushdown (or even Mineshaft the night before) and are symptomatic, please consider testing and let us know!
If you aren't symptomatic, test anyway lol.
4 years ago I decided the SAFGC FB wasn't enough. Now the twitter is almost at 700 followers, the discord is one of the biggest and most active in Texas and we're building a youtube!
Make sure to check out our linktree for all of em!
#MyTwitterAnniversary
We're on Youtube!
Going forward all top 8 vods for SAFGC tourneys will be posted here as well as recorded sets, events, etc.
Throw us a sub! January's RCR VOD is being cut up and exported tonight/as we speak.
The golden experience of our local monthly came around again yesterday for River City Rushdown February. Competitors from all over TX fighting it out to be RCR champs in SFV, GGST, T7, and MBTL. Check out the top 8 graphics and top 3 pics of our handsome winning FGC kings below:
