I like fighting games but I went home to be a family man. He/him. I made the FGC Pulse feed and it's pretty good. If you like the stuff I repost, I get it from there. Feed: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:gi4pu6g5itmjtbbkzdvb2mwc/feed/aaablrlu5zqwe

I've spent 40+ hours refining this feed to get the best selection of fighting game content on Bluesky, and I'm constantly improving it. Tap the '...' and pin it as a tab on 🏠, and please 🤍 it for visibility. It's curated and sorted, but it'll surface #fgcpulse for a few hours, so knock yourself out!

Why do they do this

It looks like geocities fan site backgrounds

Also check out the sister feed to sort by new instead of hot. People are out there talking about fighting games, see what they have to say!

It's the year of the Crimson Viper and we're celebrating on the #FGCPulse feed by featuring all posts with #sf6_cviper. Show the world how to execute with C. Viper!

Insane that bro is throwing hands with pins in them. If there was ever a time to try Keysi this is it

I love it when they crash out so hard they can't type

CraptastropheFGC @craptastrophe.bsky.social · 1d

Just don't make the captcha response "open sesame"

CraptastropheFGC @craptastrophe.bsky.social · 1d

This is super exciting, I love these events

Also if I had a time machine I'd go back to 1994 and teach the FGC what a game, set and match is

CraptastropheFGC @craptastrophe.bsky.social · 2d

Ah of course, that makes sense. That's very scary pressure then

CraptastropheFGC @craptastrophe.bsky.social · 2d

Honest question: what happens if they party a tentacle?

CraptastropheFGC @craptastrophe.bsky.social · 5d

Despite several updates, the game never quite won over players? Try "EA is a nebulous purgatory where a game might be under typical development or literally fighting for its life and fans have no way to know the difference"

Fuck this, I was really looking forward to this.

Still in early access, Hyper Light Breaker's ending development and laying off staff: 'This was not our ideal path, but rather the only one available given the circumstances'

Despite several updates, the game never quite won over players.

I think it completely reset Elo from beta and the placements don't amplify your gain that much

How many casuals did you play before ranked launched?

I recommend the chapter of this guide called Strings + Assists. I actually recommend the whole thing, but if you're short on time it's at 2:34.

And stop giving me combos with 3 frame assist extensions, my brothers have made it clear they are not down for that shit

I know a lot of you are waiting for consoles, but 2xko has cross-progression and it could probably run on your toaster

PC minimum specs:

CPU: Intel i7-4790

It is working right now, but I have occasionally had the main body of my feeds completely fall off the last few days. In the past, I've found it was a problem with inputting another feed in a block, and was able to work around it by removing that. these times it resolved itself before I could check.

It's a good season for it, it's got me in the mood and this is definitely the carve this year.

Pumpkin carved like the Vessel from Hollow Knight.

CraptastropheFGC @craptastrophe.bsky.social · 10d

Taking the weekend to get a better ending on Hollow Knight before I get Silksong, and I just have to say no one who's cleared the White Palace or defeated the Radiance in any form has any right to complain about fighting game combos being difficult.

It's weird, but it's especially hard when the companies don't post on this site. Some of the official announcements aren't here until months later, it's kind of a joke
