Even after not playing this game for about a year I was still able to perfect dodge 5 invincible guard break supers from Godku because I hate him and his red hair so much.
Man I love this silly game, still my favorite anime fighter after all these years lol.

Getting ready to watch the Elden Ring: Nightreign speed run on the last day of AGDQ 2026. NR was one of my favorite games of 2025, along with Hades II and Silksong, which are being run right after. Exciting block, great way to cap things off.

Once thought to be Lost-Media, Blader Crisis is a 2DFM game by Team FK, who would go on to make Fighters Kyodotai - and eventually Chaos Code, under the moniker FK Digital!
This forward-thinking title features an ABCS button-layout, with Personal Actions that vary from character to character!!

Why is there an Evil Zone tournament at GDQ on Wednesday lol. Anyone got the Evil Zone tech to help me learn the game in 2 days? I think I tried it once awhile ago, it seemed like it was a proximity attack based fighter (like Psychic Force), so im not expecting much tech/combos

I will be at AGDQ this upcoming week, if you are going there and see me say hi!
GDQ has happened in Pittsburgh the past few years but I wasn't able to go for various reasons. Now I got my tickets ready and everything lined up to go. I will just be spectating l, chatting and playing games casually.

I am currently not planning on traveling to any major fighting game tournaments in 2026. I will not be at Frosty Faustings this month. Taking time off from playing/TOing FG's to focus on my health and other aspects of life. Thank you for understanding, see you in 2027.

Good turnout for the Pittsburgh FGC Xmas party. Multiple brackets are being run at our Xmas edition of our bi-weekly tournament, but it started off with a Santa only Fight of Gods bracket.

Was watching the newest AVGN video and was completely caught off guard by him mentioning "Jackie Chan: Fists of Fire" as one of the few good FMV games in it.
As the person who first applied to TO it at a major fighting game tournament, crazy to see how its notoriety has grown.

Haven't been playing fighting games online much recently (just some occasional VF5), but I still like to do the obscure FG thing at Pittsburgh FGC locals from time to time.
Cool games we have played recently:
- Wild Disorder
- Secret Meeting 2
- Kizuna Encounter 4 player mode

Crazy to release crossplay and not even notify players it needs to be turned on. (Also push up your delay to 3-4 instead of 1-2)
Important PSA for Virtua Fighter 5 REVO World Stage players:
Crossplay for netplay is not enabled by default!
It needs to be turned on in the GAME SETTINGS menu!
Turn this on if you want to play against players using different consoles online. Not sure why it's off by default.
