This GIF always puts a smile on my face. Find a passion and let it give you joy and happiness. For me, first and foremost is music. Fighting games are a not too distant second. "Fighting Game Goodness" isn't just a tagline. It's a way to spread positivity for the genre. ENjOY!

After 500+ ranked battles, I managed to get to S-rank. Pretty happy with myself. Glad Terry got me over the line. Looking forward to ranking up characters individually when we eventually get the update to Ranked Match mode. #FatalFury #CotW #SNK

Last and not least, gotta give the biggest shoutout to @necromancyblack.bsky.social . For coming alongside me on this road trip to Sydney. Hope you had an amazing time at #OHN19 and basked in the goodness of all things Virtua Fighter. I very much enjoyed our conversations. We did QLD FGC proud.

Major shoutout must certainly go to the organisers that made #OHN19 happen. The OzHadou team
Youssef
ichijin
Kyokugen
Gilbagz
Shoutout to the volunteers, bracket runners, commentators and everyone who attended the event.

Floof, undoubtedly the best Rimururu in Oceania. It was a close encounter in the Grand Final for the (DIY) SAMSHO tournament between Floof and I. He was close to taking it out. He is a big supporter of Heavy Slash and all this Samurai Shodown in our region. #OHN19

Apart from me competing I also had the opportunity to do commentary at #OHN19. Did comms in Top 4 with TrashTierHuman for FFCOTW and Top 4 for KOFXV with FishelFGC. Great opportunity to work with these two who are amazing at delivering the hype and knowledge of the games.

Taj Garou @tajgarou.bsky.social · Sep 10

I am back home on the Gold Coast after another road trip to Sydney for the #OHN19 weekend. Forgive the lack of posting, but I hope to share some moments and highlight some awesome people very soon. Gonna rest and unwind for a bit. Take Care.

Taj Garou @tajgarou.bsky.social · Sep 4

My #OHN19 experience kicked off today with this rare gem. What a way to start a weekend of #SNK fighting game goodness. #AOF3 being at SWC Finals has got us playing this underrated classic and enjoying it. Back to Fight Again. OSU!!

1 week to go before I fly to the US, my first EVO there. Feels unreal that I finally, will get to witness fighting game goodness on the grandest of scales. Las Vegas is gonna be cooking with its nightlife, don't think I'll be sleeping much. Will take in every moment and enjoy it.

Taj Garou @tajgarou.bsky.social · Jul 22

I AM LIVE for a casual session of Fatal Fury Goodness.
Open lobby for players in Oceania region to come and play. Let's play, chat and enjoy some games.
