I love all kinds of 2D fighters but yea there's really nothing like VF. At this point I almost separate them in my mind as different genres because the experience and mental approach is so different

PSA 2xko on Steam Deck Windows 11 install offline seems to run well in matches, Noxus stage looks like the best performing. Exact performance stats pending. No luck getting the offline executable to work with Proton

Woah, incredible. The release of Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots today has crashed both the eShop and Steam. Guess fans are really excited to see a sequel to their beloved game after seven years

Putting out another call to help me update the FGC Locals spreadsheet! If your local fighting game tournament isn't on here, please add it, and if it is, help me keep it updated!

We currently have👏551 active locals👏listed but I'm sure there are more

if nothing changes by next summer, this is the last chance for our community to push back. The big ask is not spending $2000 to go to Vegas to play video games once. I'm not expecting much but it at least feels possible because the requirement for protest is simply not doing jack shit

EVO co-owner RTS fully acquired by Qiddiya

The Saudi PIF-funded Qiddiya deepened its investment in RTS in August as NODWIN Gaming acquired Sony's co-ownership stake.

learning vf is basically just a process of being made to feel like you’ve never played a video game before for a couple hours every session before your opponent has to pick up his kids from school

Virtua Fighter community is unique in the sense that the people who will mostly whoop you aren’t gonna be young people with time on their hands

It’s gonna be grown ass adults with wives and careers

Dear Rynge:

MOTW is my favorite 2D fighting game of all time, and has been since the day I first played it in the arcade circa 1999.

Putting a literal real world rapist in COTW killed my desire to buy the direct sequel to my favorite 2D fighting game of all time.

How about you shut the fuck up?

Madness Descent | Ein. Just ein. @eindrifteraston.bsky.social · Aug 21

Like far it be from of me all people accusing ppl of not playing games, but really now? Rynge saying this when I do not ever recall a time he has ever commentated KOF or even Samsho is just....

Like people who have been Fatal Fury fans all their life were mad about this too ya know. 💀

@Rynge on Twitter

"the thing that be confusing me about so many ppl being so mad about guest characters in COTW is....these are the people that weren't playing SNK games before COTW! why you acting like you care so much bout the roster when you weren't even playing their previous games?"

A sparring session between two community organizers!

Sente has been amazing building up VF communities all over Ohio and he has a very strong Aoi too!

It was a blast sparring with him and showing him a lot of fine details in the matchup 🙏🏼 #VF5REVO #PlayMoreVF
