Last chance (for now) was this past Wednesday night. We’re currently in the process of breaking everything down and putting it all into storage (or selling it off) until we find another permanent venue.

The WNFC dojo was one of the most wonderful places to see come to be and as such a sad thing to see go. That said? What a wonderful swan song for it, couldn’t of asked for better. Here’s to the future of WNFC and the Vermont FGC

Wednesday Night Fight Club @wnfc.bsky.social · Jun 19

In a space that can comfortably hold 18-20, we had 34 people tonight. Standing room only. Every station packed. Every A/C unit taxed.

What a way to end an era.

If you’re living in or near the Chittenden County / Burlington area of Vermont, and you enjoy fighting games (or video game history), then this Wednesday night is YOUR LAST CHANCE to experience one of the largest repositories of fighting game history on the planet.

On behalf of everyone involved with WNFC, @wnfcdojo.bsky.social, the Vermont FGC, the wider FGC, and everyone who supported us in any way possible, thank you. Thank you for believing in us. Thank you for powering this experiment.

We are not finished. Nowhere near close to it.

Because we’ve been doing something much different than every other fighting game community scene, not just nationwide, but *worldwide.* We initiated an experiment that yielded genuinely beautiful results, something that the world could certainly use more of, especially right now.

Wednesday Night Fight Club @wnfc.bsky.social · Jun 16

As such, WNFC and @wnfcdojo.bsky.social will be going into low-power mode for the next few months or so, and during that time, we’ll be restructuring precisely what it is we offer, how it is we can offer it, and what it is we can continue doing to best support the community we’ve built.

Wednesday Night Fight Club @wnfc.bsky.social · Jun 16

And if we couldn’t provide a substantially better value for families and attendees than every other option available in the local area, the prevailing wisdom was to not abandon our core ethos to stay alive in our current form.

We decided to do what all fighting game players do: adapt.

Wednesday Night Fight Club @wnfc.bsky.social · Jun 16

We found ourselves facing a dilemma: do we raise prices on everything and diminish the value we presented compared to other activities and programs in the area (as we were cheaper overall than just about every local afterschool program and extracurricular activity), or do we close our doors?

Wednesday Night Fight Club @wnfc.bsky.social · Jun 16

Sadly, we’re subject to the same whims of fate everything else is, and with the costs of everything rising, our revolutionary little project has found itself priced out of existence. Unfortunately, we can’t continue to provide the programs we have at the low price points we’ve maintained.

We accomplished so much in so little time, & we’re proud to have had the feedback of parents & caregivers that have expressed how we’ve changed their kids’ lives for the better. Our adult community has also been fiercely supportive and dedicated to furthering our cause of an inclusive space for all.

Wednesday Night Fight Club @wnfc.bsky.social · Jun 16

For the last 2.5 years, we’ve been the primary focal point for the VT FGC, & the dojo has not only been a weekly locals venue, but a daily afterschool program built to teach kids how to tolerate adversity, how to problem solve through setbacks & failures, positive interaction with others, & more.

Tonight begins the end (for now).

From 5pm-Midnight, $10 gets you in for all night play on the largest collection of fighting games in the American northeast.

The dojo closes its doors for good on 6/30, so tonight & next Wed. (6/18) are your final days to slap buttons with us (for now).

Parrying is only good when it:

1.) Requires tight (not impossible) timing

2.) Is simple enough for anyone to use without significant difficulty

3.) Is strong, but not all-powerful

4.) Offers obvious benefit, but disadvantageous if used incorrectly

Which is why Guard Impact remains the 🐐

Parrying is the best thing in video games

Can’t help but feel this take is a massive misread focused solely through the lens of entirely subjective bias.

Correlation is not causation. Ever.

Please stop blaming a Korean-American creator for things Japanese fighting game developers choose to do, design or implement. It smacks of looking for something easy to blame, and if you knew the Japanese developer mindset, you’d know that by and large, they don’t give a damn what westerners think.

Core A Gaming's Buffs over Nerfs video has been a plaque on the modern balancing of fighting games and there is no arguing this statement.

how is anyone safe on @bsky.app when convicted and registered sexual abusers can use the reporting system against non-problematic
