Do a whole article for the FG announcements today. Please.

Thuggery in the FGC isn’t just tolerated, it’s normalised. Which...honestly, I’d rather they keep it that way than have it be neutered by “eSports” bullshit.

One for every time of day lel

Phew, thought the TLX-GT will miss out. But I also miss a competitor: Monster Tajima. Where is he, these days? It’s quite hard to find news about him.

How the crap does one cast modern Tetris games...alone? Will casting 2P battle Tetris require two commentators? Three?

Then I reckon we already have a metric to measure SonicFox against Japan with.

Mio dio in paradiso. At least Williams improved enough to be fighting to get out of Q2. Ferrari isn’t just regressing, they’re decaying.

Related take:

Now that you mention JWong though...yeah, it’d be tough to find a Western GOAT (non-Smash) between the two. I say both of them are, but part of me would first want to see SonicFox go after either Daigo or Tokido to see how he stacks up.

That’s canon. Legit canon, with Ken going “Alright, test me” and Chun-li just snapping ahead with flash kicks. And they just go back and forth, back and forth...

If I get all seven, do I get to beat Leffen?

The world will end before we see the final Rebuild. Not even a bet, it’s just certain.

I’ll give you this take: SonicFox is ARGUABLY the best FGC player in the West (excluding Smash).

legends never die

Legit want to see Magnus Carlsen play this.

Capcom can’t just make him a consultant at this point: he should be part of the dev team straight-up. Even have Ryu be named Ryu Umehara, but that’s on the nose.

And it’s difficult to name players in professional gaming who are similar. Faker? There’s a case for it considering his legend still lives with him (he’s “The Greatest” despite not being the best today) even as the team around him has changed and ebbed and flowed. Flash? Certainly, but I reckon Serral can supersede…

Now that the game has Versus, it’s time for an invitational. I’m so stoked to see how the likes of Amemimatayou and Doremy play with Zone powers and how that can change the dynamics of Tetris fights vs Puyo or Friends.

Well, for all intents and purposes, GT3 has BECOME the top class. It’s GTE that’s experiencing the meltdown, and now that both Ferrari and Aston Martin are using the same sort of design philosophy (your 488 or Vantage GT3 car can be a GTE car with just a few parts swapped), it’s only a matter of time before the SRO…

Not surprised, but unlike some higher-profile exits in sportscar racing right, I’m not disappointed, mostly because I reckon both Acura and Penske can get by. That said, what’s stopping either of them from just bailing on IMSA proto entirely?
