You can be extremely competitive in fighting games (or other genres) while not lashing out at others in frustration when you lose. This is specially important if this is your career! You're not a "heel" or a "villain", you're just being a jerk.

IMO adding rollback to fighting games that desperately need it is on the same tier as releasing a remaster. It's hard to overstate just how much life it breathes into the game.

Random thought: I saw Sajam was reviewing a tournament so I tuned in. One thing I noticed straight away is that he was stopping to break down a situation whenever a player did something cool/good and honestly? I think we should all be doing that more often.

There's way, way too many people using "drama" as a profoundly lazy and reductionist term. There's countless people in the FGC right now reliving traumatic experiences, hoping that perpetrators are held accountable and that their voices are heard. Don't call that drama.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but any fighting game team that flies out their players to events without the vaccine is being wildly irresponsible. A negative PCR test barely does anything when you're exposing yourself to places with rising COVID cases and *airports*.

"I just wanna play games", "I wanna go back to pressing buttons", etc. would be a less insidious phrase if it actually meant supporting marginalized groups and helping them feel safe *before* you're content with playing. Instead it's mostly used as a warcry for the indifferent.

The fact that the response to Infiltration going to EVO is mixed at all goes to show how well his domestic abuse got whitewashed, that and a whole lotta people are telling on themselves 🤡 I think people can redeem themselves, even abusers, but he's shown no remorse whatsoever.

On the topic of locals, please support them if you can! That said, people who can't make it out to locals can: - Have a disability - Low income - Be too far away - Etc. Which is why your answer to people asking for better netcode shouldn't be to dismiss and say "go to locals"

It's covered in the article, but I want to emphasize that people have to come to terms with the fact that Infiltration has used his FGC platform to silence his critics including his ex, and continuing to support him strengthens his ability to continue doing so.

This whole thing with BushinStyle6 showing once again that he's a serial harasser goes to show no number of beatdowns in a fighting game will fix shitty behavior. Sure, it may be cathartic to some but if you can't even be a decent human being you shouldn't be competing, period.
