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.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, some enemies enter "sulk mode" when they are surrounded by blocks and cannot move, whereby they will sit down and look upset with their situation. Some enemies can sulk but never do so during regular gameplay. Below are all enemies capable of sulking.

So proud to be a part of the FGC since ‘09. Evo25 Top 8 for MK1- I recognize someone who stomped me in SF4 ‘09, his grown ass son stomping now on the main stage. I’m so touched by that and I feel so lucky to be a part of this scene.

I have very few people who I genuinely considered heroic for the creative fields, but Kevin MacLeod was one of them. To learn that the "free varied music for whatever you want it for" guy stopped composing and started prompt engineering AI slop for almost a year is the most depressing twist.
