We ran a promo for Empire Arcadia at our last charity event as part of putting POC FGC creators front and center. I haven't heard anything about him. Should I be aware of things?

It wasn't a sponsorship. More "hey this is a BLM focused charity event and I am a white guy so I'm gonna try to stay offscreen as much as I can and turn the podium over to POC folks". Our entire first day and most of the second day's commentary were POC and we wanted to showcase creators in the FGC scene during breaks, bumpers, etc.; EmpArc had just come back from Africa with a slick little mini-doc that we aired during a break that featured him heavily.

I would not work with/look for sponsorship from any org of which I am aware aside from UYU though, you're right. They seem to be good people and both Fergus and Spag are far and away my favorite people in Tekken.

I'm new here. This year, during COVID specifically, is the first time I've paid any attention to the FGC outside of my local Tekken scene, at all. And nobody in my circles knew of any rep.

God dammit.

Silly goose, you're here forever.

My BIL just got me to buy a copy of Street Fighter V after he saw Soul Calibur II and Masters of Teras Kasi on my emulation setup.

It's lots of fun playing a modern arcade fighter, but uh... wow. I'm gonna skip anything tournament-ish.

Also I'm considering turning a lovely knockoff PS3 controller into a fightstick, is Sanwa the brand to go to for switches now? I know Happ switches were like the original US arcade controls, did they get shittier since the 90s?

It would be hard for Happ to get shittier than it already was. Just buy Sanwa.

I dunno if JWong has ever done anything terrible, but dude's definitely an enabler.

Like, I sincerely believe having a defensive first reaction to being told a friend of yours is a possible abuser is natural. If it isn't I think you're a sociopath or you weren't that close to that person in the first place. Sonicfox is a good example for what I mean, I don't think his answer to the Nakkiel situation is unreasonable, and his answer to the Mike Z situation was pretty good too. But then you have people like Justin that just ignore everything and go about their lives like nothing ever happened and they can justify everything their friends have done because they're their friends, even when there's a lot of evidence pointing towards their pals being poo poo. It's one thing to want to hold them accountable and hope they become better people, it's another thing to just let them be and give them a platform.

He 135% knows about a ton of shady poo poo first-hand. He's been in the scene since he was a child and these guys were bullying his rear end around too from all the stories I've heard. He painted it more nostalgic than a lot of stories I've heard, but he's always been at ground zero. Why do you think everyone's pissed at him without him having to say anything? Everyone knows he knows poo poo and has known this poo poo all along. I mean, from what we know of the stories coming out him knowing and not ever talking about it is probably why he thrived in the scene.

That's true yeah. Honestly the fact that he's still playing sets with Noel in 2020 of all things says all you need to know about him. Not even getting into him being friends with Marn still

The Happ parts you knew from the 90s were never made by Happ, they contracted a company called Industrias Lorenzo to make it for them. In the mid-2000s, Happ merged with a Dutch parts company called Suzo and ditched IL to make their own. These are 1000% worse than the IL parts. IL is still around, and you can buy them at paradise arcade or focus attack or whatever

I hope it burns down and new people take up the mantle. I don't have anything actually useful to say, I'm just upset and sad.

Like other people pointed out, Sanwa's probably what you should get, Seimitsu's also really good, and for the stick if the part you liked was the bat top then it's easy to get one that'll screw on in place of the ball the other sticks would come with.
