What an arrogant, disruptive asshole.

Certainly wouldn't have anything to do with that scene if it is populated with pricks like that.

I know, right? Can't believe she assaulted dude and she wasn't even fighting. How you holding Ls before you hold the controller?

She wasn't aware that they patched in a counter-grab mechanic.


In all seriousness, he's clearly a sore winner, especially if they really did have another match to do, and the girl probably didn't help matters by attempted to man-handle him back into his chair.
 
The restraint it is taking some people itt to not find reasons to white knight is palpable
Every FCG event that I have attented has had rowdy moments but that is part of the hype and everyone is generally cool as can be with each other even total strangers because everyone is there for the same shit.
Competition gets you, but it is left at the screen.
 
That's different because it's a real sport.

Im not trying to say video games are a sport. Just trying to see why people have such hypocritical opinions on etiquette from one competitive hobby to another. Poker, also not a sport, has antics left and right from the more marketable players and no one ever complained there.

Don't get me started on Pokemon players who smear shit on hotel walls. How come that doesn't get a stigma attached to it?
 
That was awesome, dude was getting hype as fuck. Dunno what her problem was. She just couldn't deal with so much hype flooding the room.
 
Have you been to some of these events?

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.

The complaint is usually from people who don't compete themselves, i personally have never take part in FGC, but i have compete in a lot of sports, and several others kinds of tournaments and you always gonna find that kind of behaviour out of certain individuals, and is only natural in any sort of competition.
 
This is what I have come to expect of most people that hiss "CISGENDERED" online.
 
Have /you/? Shit like this is an anomaly and usually isn't hyped up like it is in this thread.

Hey, if he attended events in like the MvC2 days, I could kinda see him having that perspective.

But events for the past decade have been way, way, waaay different from that.

A world where one can't celebrate after a victory isn't a world I want to be a part of.

You pop-off after winning a set, not after taking one game. Ain't nobody got time for that.
 
People usually try and forget that stuff like someone taking a dump in the hotel hallways at NEC last year.

Yeah but that is because a good chunk of people do not pay for rooms and just squat (Snarf!) without showering and raiding local puplic bathrooms and if they don't make it...

I'm not even part of the FGC (just enjoy watching it from time to time) and I can't help but applaud this. This is a great post for many types of communities that get generalized.

When I was younger I always wondered why some hotels around anime/gaming conventions would complain about the crowds when given how much money they were making. Then I found out that people (generally teenagers) can't help themselves but literally destroy hotel rooms, lobbies and hallways when let out on their own. It blows my mind the things that I've heard about places like a Days Inn or a Holiday Inn have happen to them during these things.
 
Dude should be getting more credit for his restrained response to that shit. Someone super aggressively lays hands on me from out of nowhere, Id throw an elbow.

I can celebrate after I score a single goal in a basketball game on a playground and I can celebrate after I win the game.
 
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.

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.
 
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.

They're just having fun dude. Showboating, getting the crowd hyped, acting like a fool, that can be a part of that. After he settled down he probably would have shook hands with his opponent. The type of manual dexterity and memorization/muscle memory necessary to be great at fighting games requires a lot of work and dedication, so yeah you can be reductive and say "oh wow he pushed buttons better/smug" but if you were interested in the scene at all you can recognize how reactions like this can happen, be justified, and how they just add to the fun.
