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
Pinned
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!
I think fighting games can unlock the key to happiness, no exaggeration. The FG grind starts out buzzing with exhilarating potential but sours immediately if expectations exceed performance. The way to keep the joy of the early days is to identify and release definitions and expectations of success.
Perhaps the most unexpected thing I learned from teaching fighting games over the last ten years is that the things people need to learn the most aren't really fighting game skills but life skills.

Fighting games just give you a fun way to expose these gaps before real life does.
FROM MASHER TO MASTER 2 IS OUT!

If you want to get into fighting games but don't know where to begin, this book will guide your journey.

I've been thinking about fighting games as an example of the pursuit of elusive mastery, and I'm wondering: Have any of you ever made the jump from fighting games to martial arts? Cause I've been looking into BJJ, and I feel like I'm standing at the bottom of a mountain, but it's not unfamiliar.

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

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.

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

Ekko and Ahri is a story combo I wasn't expecting but it works, the cinematic is up there with Riot's best

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.

#2xko is offline for the weekend, and it's got me thinking how it's cool that it's already avoided the tragedy of multiversus with its offline mode. All characters unlocked, no need to connect to a server. Even if it never came back, it would still have a scene for years. Nicely done.

@2xko.riotgames.com I wish you'd post the news updates here as well so I can quote the videos directly

My campaigning to get Teemo deleted from LoL has successfully managed to get him into two other games

Sometimes people ask fighting game questions to the void and the void doesn't answer. Follow the FGC Fresh feed and become the void that answers
So something ive always been curious about why is x men vs street fighter preferred over marvel super heros vs street fighter

One of the reasons I like the feeds feature in bsky is without it I'd never see this

2XKO is here! We're celebrating by featuring posts with #2XKO tags in the FGCPulse feed.

I see ppl wishing that bsky had better fighting game tech but listen: be the lab monster you wish to see in the world. We'll make sure your work gets appreciated

My brother and I actually had someone quit playing 2xko against us because "2v1 isn't fair" 😂

Watching eskay surprise and delight BrianF with clutch 2xko duo plays and game knowledge when he thought she was gonna wanna backpack is peak content

Come to think of it eskay surprising and delighting Brianf has always been the juice of their crossovers and this is just the perfect package for it
