If you’re apart of the fighting community, specifically the recent tournament at St. Martins, then you’ve probably heard about the collusion between ChrisG and Flocker and the outrage from the spectators hungry for the matchup that met EVO grand finals quality. I was pleased to see the responses from companies like MadCatz that will no longer sponsor tournaments that allow such fun-sucking financial arrangements.

I am a person that considers fighting games a sport. I know players, their tendencies, their weakness, and their strengths. Granted, no packs of cards and gum - gum hard as adamantium - will ever be made with my favorite players’ stats, but I get just as excited when I see Gamer Bee get on stage against Mike Ross as when any slugger steps up to bat or a closer steps on the mound.

All I ask is that the competitors on the stream invest as much into their play as I do in being a fan of the sport.



In unrelated news, I saw “The Wolverine” and it sucked a hard butt. The end!
