Often, some fighting games can seem intimidating to players new and old. Below are a bunch of resources that may be of aid to new players, or handy as references.

  • How to play Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Universally recognized as the most fundamental of all fighting games, sometimes starting in the past is the best way to get a heads-up for the new generation of games.
  • Learn How To Play Fighting Games Free eBook from Shoryuken is a fantastic primer for new players to the genre.
  • Footsies Handbook is a guide to the potentially elusive, but integral part of doing well in any fighting game.
  • NeoGAF's Arcade Stick Thread is the place to go for questions about anything arcade stick-related.
  • Step Up Your Game is an editorial series by Justin Wong that covers a multitude of topics, notably focusing on strengthening your mental game and playing smarter instead of harder.
  • Tips for first time competitors will help you straighten out those nerves and expectations when you head out to your first tournament.
  • Domination 101 is almost a cult classic article in the FGC, which has Seth Killian telling us how he really feels about the idea of "cheapness" in fighting games.
  • Team-building Guide by our very own film lover-slash-cannibal Karsticles, which helps make it easier to approach team-building in MvC games, and games with similar synergistic elements.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";174862236]I warned everyone that I wouldn't add anything productive ^_^[/QUOTE]

It fits perfectly
 
That "Weekly GB" made me laugh. Congrats on the responsibility, God's Beard. All the moaning and criticism means we actually like you, so it's okay.
 
I got really used to that FGC banner. It was cool how it was a character select cursor over popular games.

It's the first thing I noticed.


Also, I'm sure you know this but "smh" usually stands for "shaking my head."

I appreciate that you put your own spin on it. Not bad actually. But, you're missing the "Events" part showing which tournaments are going on this week. I really look forward to those.

I appreciate the humor, GB (Weekly GB is honestly gold which I'd love more of!), but I think OP general text should aim for informative (to laymen) rather than funny to members of FGW. Enzo's text was good, I think.

Edit: tbh, it's just the first intro line that's different, so not much of a complaint I guess lol
