I don't follow this stuff and I didn't know who Shinblade was, but that video is fucking great. Guy was hype because he won, the girl is in the wrong
 
In my experience these tournaments are a bunch of people just yelling out phrases they read on the internet. Walk into a Smash tournament and within 3 minutes you'll guaranteed hear "so salty", "i can't even", "believe", "the hype is real" etc.

Next tourney I'm getting "who bitch this is" started.
Fuck, man. I just cringed so hard that I broke three ribs.
 
r/kappa is the intersection of FGC and 4chan in terms of attitude, basically stream chat in permanent form.

The girl apologized at least.
 
Quite a few, actually, Mostly local, but I keep up with the tons of streams for big and small events. I've immersed myself in what other players are doing all the time, offline and on.

There's drama here and there. That's to be expected. It's a large fandom with passionate players.

However, there are far more moments where people are nice, respectable, friendly, and within the boundaries of hype, just all around decent people. You and others on the outside don't see that.

You don't see how welcoming my group is to literally anyone who chose to play, how we pass tips from player to player instead of hording it. The gaming parties that go late into the night, the online tournies with hilarious commentaries, and even hype chants that get everyone feeling excited.

When players die, everyone in the community is affected. That's how great this shit is.

None of that gets highlighted. Instead, you get one or two slightly dramatic events that the internet blows out of proportion, especially compared to other things outside gaming.

I'm sorry your friends had such a bad time at Seasons Beatings. But I know for a fact that's a rarity. It's incredibly ignorant to assume it to be bad based on one or two events you see.

Now, some locals are better than others, but I've been to the surrounding areas of mine and I haven't had a bad time once. The whole reason I felt comfortable in this big city is due to the fighting game scene and everyone in it.

Drop the generalizations, guys. It's not good for you, and it's really not good for a community that's largely amazing and welcoming.

(Funny thing is, the dude isn't even in the wrong here, so I don't know why people are using this as an example of the FGC being awful.)



Sorry, I should have put that /s there in the first place. But I agree. There's a huge double standard with this shit and it's incredibly annoying.

lol, I hosted a local group for years. I'm fine on the outside, though, if that is the case. I understand the generalization defense, but there is going to be popping off, intimidation and betting, etc at these events regardless of how many 'decent' people there are there. The good with the bad.

GASP Popping off!? You mean people don't just silently meditate on victory?

And betting? My word!

Well there's a middle ground between "popping off" and meditation you know. Just bow and tip your fedora like a classy, ethical gentleman.



Fuck, man. I just cringed so hard that I broke three ribs.

It's a bit nightmarish at first, like all the worst memes just came to life. You learn to ignore it and have fun playing though.
 

Great comeback, good reason to pop off and get hype.
His opponent was loving it too, guy behind them was smiling and into it.
Great shit.
People have to cause grief when everything was positive.
Why the beast had to come in and go for the grab when everything was positive makes no sense.
 
I've always wondered, is "cisgender" supposed to be an insult? Because it's always used that way.
No, it's not supposed to be an insult. It's just a word people use to say like "you wouldn't understand." Referring to someone as cis is no more insulting than saying "you're just my mom; you don't understand my friends and me."

However while moms and dads can handle it like mature adults for the most part, anti-SJW can't do so and have to pretend that racism and sexism is dead and anyone striving for equality is a deluded fool.
 
In my experience these tournaments are a bunch of people just yelling out phrases they read on the internet. Walk into a Smash tournament and within 3 minutes you'll guaranteed hear "so salty", "i can't even", "believe", "the hype is real" etc.

I've never heard those phrases it a smash tournament.

Last tournament I went to had this black kid saying "That <x> tho" literally every time I landed a hard hitting move like Jiggs rest.


Though to be fair, it was a Smash 4 tournament so people didn't really get hype. Except for when some young girl beat one of the guys there even though he was obviously sandbagging because all she was doing was mashing the CStick as Kirby.

There was also one guy there with a fedora who literally tipped it at me and I had no idea whether it was meant to be ironic or not.
 
That guy doesn't look like he takes shit from people, so I'm surprised this ended up with confusion of being suddenly grabbed instead of thrown fists

Sounds like a GAF thread in response to a comic book movie announcement.
 
That shit could've ended up really badly. Dude handled the situation well.

Yeah, definitely. Considering how easily he overpowered her, he could have seriously hurt her if he wanted to. She and all her friends that were shouting for him to be DQed should be banned from all tournaments.

Oh no, not betting.
 
For real. I would have asked questions later if I'm grabbed out of nowhere and someone is yelling to sit the fuck down.

Those guys hopping in to get him disqualified are the real assholes, honestly.
Yep. That passion makes stuff fun. Trying to stifle it with real aggression is what kills things. Zero fault with him.
 
I love how he didn't even know who he was dealing with, possibly expecting someone he knew who he had tension with, then he finally gets a good look at her @47sec and the confusion in his voice when he goes "who da fuck is this?" #dead
 
This entire culture confuses me. I'm not an active participant by any means, but even in person my exposure to it has been something similar in terms of attitude. What I take away most from this video is the complete shift in attitude to calm him down. The complete lack of social awareness is just staggering and feels set up.

That's Asperger's my friend.
 
Damn! He totally pushed buttons better than that other kid! Hes probably so successful at life!

This is why I dont go to gamer functions....I like games but a lot of gamers are fuckin strange.

Sweet insight. Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to? Wouldn't want to miss out.
 
reading the reddit link someone posted she tried to initially get dude disqualified by grabbing him in the hopes that he would retaliate by hitting her.

Damn that's messed up.

She genuinely calls him a cisgendered fuck at 1 minute in.

Well that settles it.

Walk into a Smash tournament and within 3 minutes you'll guaranteed hear "so salty", "i can't even", "believe", "the hype is real" etc.

This is why I don't go to shit like this. I cant handle it. I can hardly handle it here sometimes already.
 
I don't even get this situation. He was gloating, she caught some feelings, tried to manhandle him to his seat and then? I don't get the point afterwards. Did she just want to see him play again?
 
That's a lot of "Asperger's" going around then. Not so sure that is the ultimate diagnosis for everyone in this video or in similar circumstances.

Well, lack of social interaction, awareness, and social reciprocity is kind of the cornerstones of the autism spectrum. Given that the majority of those people's relationships likely exist online only, it gives some support to the idea that they can't adequately interact in a social environment.
 
Pretty much.Why should he be "DQ'd" when he wasn't even in the wrong? She grabbed him, end of story.
Apparently he was friends with the girl.

It's not surprising that violence broke out when you have the anime community there. It's a violent culture.
 
Speaking of tournaments, winning 1 or two games against someone and acting like you killed them them from the scene comes across as really confusing.

Maybe it's just me getting too used to playing ggpo where 1 or 2 wins against someone means fuck all in the big picture where ppl play each other a lot. Only when they get 10 streaks and so on do ppl have legit boasting.

winning 1 or 2 games is basically not enough games to gauge who really is better unless they get 1-manned twice or something and it's just really luck who gets the wins first. I guess that's the balance between setups and tournament format/time though. If it where up to me it would be last 8 in a round robin first to fives with loadsa setups.
