Week of July 8th to the 14th, 2013.

Fighting Games Weekly is the weekly discussion thread for all things fighting games. News, events, streams, videos, players, drama, everything fighting game related.

Don't know what to watch right now? Check the FGCPros Twitch Group or Jaxel's Stream Viewer. If you want to watch multiple streams at once, you can use Jaxel's customizable multiviewer as well.

New to FGC-GAF is the FGC-GAF Index which lists the fighting games GAFers plays as a neat reference with some rough statistics to boot. To add yourself to the index, quote this post and use the survey link below. Please remember to save/bookmark the "Edit your response" link so you can edit your responses if/when you buy a game already on the list or a new game that releases in the future.

EVO time, baby!

Riding with a van full of dudes from Colorado to Vegas. Not looking forward to riding for 16 hours, haha. If I pop up on stream, I'll be appearing as EFL Chavelo. :D

If any GAFfers want to get some games after hours, hit me up via PM.

Also.

Anybody who follows or knows about the KOF, Smash, P4 community, contact me asap
.
 
That was one of the most feel-good tourneys I've ever seen. Almost every minute of the thing had me grinning. Whether it was the gameplay, or the commentary, or the fact that the finals came down to two REALLY solid players who never really get all that much shine... Just overall, a really fucking solid night.
 
Super hyped for Mahvel

If Chris G losing at the latest NLBC and FChamp losing at the latest Curleh is any indication...EVO UMVC3 Top 8 might be insane.

Controversial post:

I'd rather FChamp or Chris G win EVO than any of the top 3 in Curleh West. Not KBR though, I'd love for him to take it all. I like watching those guys play much more than Angelic/KillerKai/DiosX.

Is Champ heading back to NorCal right now? I want to be there for when FGTV goes live. Gonna be legendary.

Miniboss' staggered hidden missles into finger lasers was pretty awesome. I'm sure there's a counter to it but it caught a few people off guard.

Just seeing that Phoenix flex her clipped wings during this tourney makes me actually appreciate what kind of skill it takes to dominate the meta in Ultimate. I'll take Morridoom before "I can't control it!" any time.

I'm a little surprised by all the salty tweets I'm seeing on my feed regarding the shirtless stunt. I thought it was funny as hell, why's everyone so offended?

what's shirtless-gate?
Don't look at anything on this site or elsewhere and go watch the grand finals archives for the Curleh West that just happened.

I'm a little surprised by all the salty tweets I'm seeing on my feed regarding the shirtless stunt. I thought it was funny as hell, why's everyone so offended?
Damn really, wtf? What are they mad about? What IS there to be mad about?
