The essay regarding patch philosophy for 2XKO is both enlightening and concerning. A five week patch cadence for a competitive fighting game is not particularly encouraging. 2xko.riotgames.com/en-gb/news/d...

"I know the basics of C-Kouma, surely piloting F-Kouma won't feel that different." - me, deeply misunderstanding the situation

The Steam Machine has me interested. I'm going to need a price point, but if it's competitive with consoles I wouldn't be shocked to see TOs messing with them

Refocusing on fighting games I actively have fun learning and playing has been a very good decision. French Bread games are just that good. Gotta dust off my KOF team tomorrow though, XV at the local next weekend and it might be time to learn Kim

Credits rolling on Legends: Z-A. I was slightly positive on it, then the last main story mission actually made me miserable because it crammed all of the worst parts of the game into one drawn out section.

My day was largely one filled with rest (and Pokemon Z-A) but I did take some time to try some C-Kohaku. She's equal parts cool and silly, this is very good for me.

Climax was a revitalization of my passion for fighting games. The post-SQXL break is over, it's time to get back to work.

Mentally, I am still at the Northeast Atlanta Hilton. Physically, I am in the nosebleeds at BoA

Going to bed at 4 am, I have to be in Charlotte by noon tomorrow, let's see what we can accomplish

Forcing myself to hit a workout before I go grind casuals was a good idea, I feel much better

1-2 in MBAACC, as it turns out not knowing what Nanaya does is a problem when you fight two of them back to back

Mint yerba mate save me...

Very funny 1-2 uni run (last game last round with lid R1, then uzuki'd in losers) hit I think I'm actually close to getting clean in this game

Climax! Come say hi, I'll be hard to miss today.

Six hour solo drive down to Atlanta, and I'm at Climax! The state of South Carolina should be thrown into the ocean

The NBA - the greatest thing ever established in America - is BACK. And to celebrate this momentous occasion, here is a massive starter pack of NBA accounts you can follow, all of whom are active:

It's Climax week oh my goodness

We're back! We're teaming up with @wickedrealitygg.bsky.social to bring you our line-up on high-refresh, head to head setups with the much-requested addition of 2XKO! Sign up early so I can buy enough pizza for everyone ✌️ If you know the poster reference you gotta sign up, thats the rule

I'd like to thank @riotgames.com for giving me the opportunity to give feedback on @2xko.riotgames.com.

Somewhere in ArcSys HQ there is a man who just pokes his head out of his office every year or two and yells "add more Gokus" to the dev team

Fighting Warwick is a new level of tilting, Jesus Christ.

Yasuo did not get nerfed hard enough.

If you really want to act like an authority on the state of the FGC, you *might* want to know about successful events running in your own state.

"SQ XL is done, I can rest for a while." *Frosty reg opens* *Climax is in three weeks* "Fuck."

Venue room for Frosty secured! Back to Lombard I go.

Once more into the warzone that is Frosty venue hotel registration

All I did yesterday was lay around the house and play Hades II on my steam deck. Rest did my body good, and Supergiant has once again made a banger.

Wishing you got your hands on the merch you saw at #SQXL2025? We're keeping the vault open for a week. Don't miss your chance to buy before 10/6, and we thank everyone for your tremendous support. sq.ncfgc.org/shop

I'm extremely proud of the work we put into SQ XL this weekend, and it's great to know that so many other teams and events are popping too! The regional resurgence is a beautiful thing.

Got the gang together and directed a regional, start to finish. Where to next?

Mandatory post-event Kenna. As it turns out she is very cool with wearing lanyards, this may be a new thing.

The post-event beer hit my body like a truck. Thank you all for coming to #SQXL2025, I will say more tomorrow when I have slept.

SQXL felt like it was run and done great the entire way through but it definitely has me in the aftermath like

We are up and getting moving ahead of SQ XL Day 2! Lots of action going both in-venue and on stream today: Strive, Granblue, 2XKO, BlazBlue, and MBAACC all crowning champions today!

SQ XL Day 1 it's time to party (set up the venue and run the stage for the MajinObama stream)

SQ XL Raid Trip pre-local was a success (apart from my bracket runs being scrapped thanks to a controller issue.) So now the real work begins bright and early tomorrow.

Upcoming Event: The team at SQ is set to debut SQ XL: Burst la Burst this weekend from North Carolina. This anime centered event is a 2 day festival of anime games featuring players from the Southeast. We will be covering the event throughout the weekend with results

SQ XL weekend is upon us! Lots of last minute things to do today, very excited to see everyone at the pre-local tonight!

Someone is gonna discover they love gunplay this weekend and that's a beautiful thing.

C. Viper looks shockingly intact. Capcom is 2 for 2 on cool characters this season, I pray Alex gets the same treatment.

I am incredibly excited to show everyone how much love and care has gone into SQ XL. This weekend is going to be one for the books

Hey look I actually got some time to do commentary during my own event! (it is absolutely not going to be what you expect)

And that is Closed Beta Grandmaster! Not too shabby for this being my first tag game. I have also not run into anyone running my team, which feels insane given the small roster.

With SQXL2025 just 1-week out, here are the teasers for the winners and losers brackets in our Mystery Tournament! #SQXL2025 #mysterytounament #FGC #kusoge

We're a week out from SQ XL! I'm gonna be running the stage for the Team Spooky stream on both days, looking forward to seeing everyone!

SQ XL: Burst la Burst Event/Stream Schedule: The event begins next week.

Man 2XKO is fun. Messed with my previously theory crafted Illaoi Super 2 double down concept a lot, and actually got a nice hit confirm that had a *lot* left in the tank out of it.

We're proud to announce @junkfoodarcades.bsky.social is our presenting partner for #SQXL2025! 🤝 Southeast excellence at its best. See us in Durham next weekend and check out the new SWORL, buy your next favorite controller, or stock up on parts! Badges are selling fast! https://start.gg/sqxl

I have found ambiguous L/R pressure with Vi - Illaoi that also gives sandwich pressure with active tag. I think my brain understands tag games now and oh my god does it feel amazing

Decided to learn a Vi BnB since I had a little time, little did I know that even without the electrics routing you can still carry corner to corner with this route off of any L/M starter lmao
