Week of December 30th, 2013 to January 5th, 2014.

Fighting Games Weekly is the weekly discussion thread for all things fighting games. News, events, streams, videos, players, drama, everything fighting game related.

Don't know what to watch right now? Check the FGCPros Twitch Group or Jaxel's Stream Viewer. If you want to watch multiple streams at once, you can use Jaxel's customizable multiviewer as well.

New to FGC-GAF is the FGC-GAF Index which lists the fighting games GAFers plays as a neat reference with some rough statistics to boot. To add yourself to the index, quote this post and use the survey link below. Please remember to save/bookmark the "Edit your response" link so you can edit your responses if/when you buy a game already on the list or a new game that releases in the future.


Last week's thread. An archive of previous FGW threads is available here.​





Last week, on December 23rd, 2013, the fighting game community lost Nelson Reyes, better known to many viewers as EMP Remix. Going by "the most electrifying man in digital sports entertainment," Reyes was a prominent member in the Marvel vs. Capcom community, known best for being a seasoned veteran in the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 scene. Our hearts are with Reyes' family and friends during these tragic times.

A memorial fund has been set up to help Reyes' grandmother with funeral costs, and if you wish to help out, you can donate at this link. A charity tournament will also be held this coming weekend to help with funeral costs, which is detailed below.​

Wow, I remember watching this when Marvel 3 first made it's debut. I remember Sanford shitting on the game, and agreeing with him for the most part, but I still played the game and gave it a chance. After EVO 2011, I resigned to the fact that the game was stupid and dropped it. Then Ultimate Marvel 3 came out and I decided to give the game a second chance. After about five months I again resigned to the fact that the game was stupid and dropped it again.


Rest in peace, Remix.

a review on that mit fighting game thing

50 Shades of Grey. The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Ferngully.

The greatest stories ever told now have new company with the release of this amazing publication. Congratulations to Todd Harper, whose works now join an extraordinary league of media.

Though not as lengthy as the time Jane Goodall worked with the chimpanzees, Todd Harper was able to observe the natives of the FGC in their natural habitat. For an entire night, rare species like Africanus Americanus, Latino Americanus, and even Asian Americanus were seen playing fighting games in peace. Todd then spent 1 hour trying to understand their language, and was confused when he was called "free" for wiggling his "fightstick" and "mashing" buttons during blockstun in "Aquapizza," the flagship title of the fighting game community. He even attempted to communicate with them using proper English before going home and reading various kotaku publications instead. In addition to his grueling firsthand experience, he used approximately 31 minutes of difficult research using the Google search engine.

Todd's deep understanding of the American arcade culture's metamorphosis into the modern fighting game community is truly remarkable. He presents a wealth of resources in an easy to understand format for the reader. His breakdown of twitch.tv chats are incredibly insightful, and help illustrate the picture of the common FGC native.

The culture of Digital Fighting Games: Performance and Practice is an amazing piece that helps civilized people in the eSports community understand the sexist, misogynistic, and barbaric ways of the Fighting Game community. This work shows that despite their long history of grassroots competition, various goodwill projects, and rich, diverse ethnic makeup, the FGC is a flawed, violent machine that needs to be tamed by the eSports legions. The team behind this publication will go down in history and will never be forgotten.
