It's been long overdue, but we now have a general purpose NorCal Anime Fighting Game Community Discord.
Please help spread the word! I know there are many smaller discords that people in Norcal hang out in but I would like to have a general crossroads.
In case 4 neko arc matches in a row on stream wasn't already a sign, we got some real cursed energy at our
@norcaldogfight
locals today.
Feast your eyes on the Hurtbox.
Had a dream where there was a vtuber fighting game, and it was being run at climax of night and the crowd was chanting "eekum bokum" along with the korone player in grand finals.
In the year 20XX, guessing is considered an anti-competitive mechanic, so all fighting games have a universal system in which time is paused after each meaningful in-game interaction.
Each player then must write down a 3-5 sentence explanation of why they made each choice.
So, my stick was hooked up to my ps4 and pc, and i guess while netplaying GG on my PC, i somehow accidentally nagivated to the PSN store and bought like $200 worth of games.....
a dude who doesn't even play the character changed a bunch of the route tables on the dustloop +R Johnny wiki because he felt the beginner combos were "weirdly hard"
'Unless Sonicfox plays Melty for 10 years he aint opening up GO1.
This aint that "KI" you're so good at.
Is this your first anime fighter?'
ULLLLLLLLLLLL
Hold up.
I see tons of screenshots about bad writing in Ready Player One.
Why the hell haven't I seen this one posted yet. This actually makes SAO look good.
Baby unblockable route for consistency. unblock into 2a 236 seems important for consistency. Adding an extra normal in between 2a and 236 adds a lot of instability.
there is (weirdly) a max distance kohaku can forward dash here, which auto spaces for the right hisui distance.
Combo videos are literally how I have my current career as an artist, my dude.
+R Johnny combo theory hinges entirely on presenting you with choices rather than an ultimatum.
Probably the most embarrassing take I've seen in a long while, and it reeks of not playing enough fgs.
ATTENTION GUNDAM PLAYERS: I have confirmed that the side tournament at EVO 2023 is canceled. I apologize for any inconveniences, and I know at least one person who flew here for Gundam
I've been running Gundam at Evo every year since 2012, and it sucks to have the streak broken.
On the subject of character choice when trying to pick up UNI, never forget the classic:
watch high level match footage until you get inspired by a character.
The easiest way to stay motivated in any fg is that moment when you say "damn that char is so sick, I wanna do that"
The lobby conversation is INSANE lol. There's a guy at the front desk saying an employee came into his room to inform them of something, saying he's about to buy out this hotel and needs paperwork to acknowledge letting people enter rooms uninvited
I cannot believe both "FGC needs better netcode" and "support your locals" are being twisted into negatives as well as being used as counterpoints... Can we go back to last week's "FGs I think are overrated" drama LOL
kamone, french bread battle planner:
'Been rooting for GO1 for a long time, but tbqh even from a fg dev perspective his defense gives me problems.
if you don't get opened up even a little by stuff like impact break (DFC's universal overhead), the game's rules fall apart"
Since ppl asked: here's what I bought on accident lmao:
CoD Black Ops Cold War Ultimate Edition
FFXII Zodiac Age
Minecraft
CoD: Black Ops III
CoD: Black Ops 4
Cod: Warzone
Cod: WWII
Battlefield 4 Premium
At least I can answer "What was the dumbest thing you've done recently"
Top chess players going in so hard they're burning 6000 calories a day in tournament from the stress alone meanwhile FGC top players can't handle an 8am pool 😭
The first time a chess grandmaster told me they lose around 10-20 pounds during the course of a *single* tournament, my jaw was on the floor. I spent a year embedded in the bizarre world of weight loss in chess. Here is what I found:

<paraphrased discussion about anime>
Bears: I don't like it when the guy and the girl both like each other but they just feel each other out and don't do anything for the whole anime
Omi: So you're saying you don't like neutral game
Last night I dreamt the next GG2020 trailer revealed Johnny. But he was a stance you enter as Baiken. Like, Baiken had a Johnny mode.
Kenny was next to me explaining "we were thinking of what we haven't done with Johnny yet and he's never been a stance."
Woke up screaming.
to be clear, he took the beginner combo table and reformatted to the new format, which is fine.
what's not fine is adding routes and rewriting most of the route summaries like you know how to play the character at all, without discussing it with me or anyone else.
A better topic imo. Post your own to fix current FGC twitter.
Anime I hate: Eureka 7
Anime I think is overrated: My Hero Academia
Anime think is underrated: Ajin
Anime I love: Gundam Build Fighters
Anime I secretly love: Noein
Favorite anime of all time: Honey and Clover
I dont think there are people I respect less than Charlotta players. May players, Jack O players, Millia players, Vat players, all several tiers above anyone playing this character.
As per usual, I did not remember everything I wanted to say on stream so I'll just say it here again: there is no way this event would have been possible without the amount of sheer generosity from everyone. I am deeply moved by the amount of faith people put into me. Thank you.
I'm super happy, not because of bragging rights or names on lists, but because we have a great opportunity to show more people how awesome UNI is.
Everyone has put in so much work to grow this scene - I'm glad it has led to this. Seriously good shit. See y'all soon.
I may have missed some but here's a list of JP players in the EVO UNI bracket. Can't wait!

We have not peaked as far as CMVs go yet, but it's been depressing seeing the trend of new fighting games drift farther and farther away from having good CMV potential, and few people motivated to push the medium amidst better ways to create "content".
I asked kamone how they came up with the color names and it's exactly what we expected. They hella looked up stuff in a dictionary until they picked something that seemed cool LOL
Y'all talking about the fire wheel with inquisitor and i'm out here asking why kunoichi has a better firewheel that goes across the screen, a double jump, a teleport into air actions, and some naruto frog BS but aiite.
Fighting games have only been around for a few decades. Trying to call out people as being fake fans for caring about potential new versions of legacy games is just so god damn narrow minded.
We can each play w/e we want, but we should never discourage new games as a community.
As always, too frazzled to have said everything I wanted to during closing ceremony:
-Playlist goes up tomorrow
-Our merch is what makes this possible, one of the easiest ways to support us.
-We are a small event. Every single piece of feedback is huge for us.
#Slashback2024
Lastly, while I understand that hydegaming on YouTube is the easiest source of UNI for lazy people, that channel steals JP footage then actively FLAGS the source videos in order to preserve monetization. It is an actively malicious channel that I do not condone supporting at all.
So
@ApologyMan
just asked Mori for Hakumen and he said he'd put him in if vineeth dances around naked with only a Tengu mask covering his junk and post it on Twitter. And Mori said he'd RT it.
I'll never forget the first L I took in a video game:
My first pokemon R/B match w/ someone via link cable - I was bodying him but then he said his game d/c'd and showed me
his GB's dead screen.
So I pulled out the cable, and he showed me that he just turned his contrast to 0
I hope GG2020 hits record breaking sales and ASW's takeaway is just like "okay so we just need to feed into everyone's horny levels to sell our games got it"
Looking forward to omega thot ABA in GG2025

Giveaway ends August 7th!
you know those meme-y ahegao all over print hoodies?
can we make one but its all Slayer normals?
Like, holy shit as I'm typing this out I'm realizing how amazing this would be.
Watched all of the Combo Breaker UNICLR VOD review by clearlamp earlier today - there are some small points but I'll highlight what I think is the biggest / takeaway presented by clearlamp, and the most common critique throughout the matches in this thread.
I'm only 10-15 minutes into this Top 8 CB UNI analysis stream VOD by
@ClearLamp_o
but he gives some EXTREMELY concrete analysis / advice. Someone should really translate this because imagine being able to have the world champ watch your vod and giving you 1 to 1 advice!!
Also today was the first Time I showed my face at a public event since eltnum JAV and every single norcal person there was just like brett what the fuck is going on and what is eltnum jav
So, we just confirmed via testing for Gundam MBON: The new changes to network filters have made it so the old filters will kick ALL wireless players by default \o/
If you want to play w/ wifi players on a filter, you need to use the NEW filters, which specifically allow wifi
Ok FGC, show me your best photos of running sets in...shall we say "unusual" spots: at the airport, waiting in line, in the lobby of the Westgate (shoutouts to Evo 2016).
If you are involved in stream production for major tournaments that feature Under Night:
Please please please. Stop placing your event watermark directly over the vorpal grid. You basically ruin the spectating experience for anyone who actually plays the game.
On a tangential note, while it may seem silly to say this on twitter dot com, I've found discord to be way more clique-y than anything else.
In most of the discord servers for games I play, I've found myself to be viewed as an outsider because I don't actively participate.
Heart is basically a marvel/dragonball character btw.
beam attack, doom rocks, reality stone, all with air versions. super dash, dragonball normals, yeah. probably gonna be popular lol
Oh god lmao, something I edited won an emmy and I was too cheap to actually pay the union fee this year lmao so I'm not in the emmy application credits hahaha.
Oh and before I forget:
I will be at EVO, which means Gundam will be happening at EVO, for people considering traveling. More details need to be hammered out obviously, but we've been doing this since 2012 with no signs of stopping, so see you there 👍
