As I celebrate my 45th Birthday in July of 2026 I look back on a blessed career in the Fighting Game Community 👊🏾🇺🇸

Some names:

@ProtomCannon, @Pond3r, @jchensor, @GunterJPN, LA Akira / White Gerald / @OkamotoKitchen, Black Gerald, @AfroCole, Bob Painter, Martin Hector, FlipMeign (Mark Acero), Joanna, TobiasNYC, Kris and Omar from VA, Castel, DLC outfit @TheAlexValle, @Sirlin and many more!

[tragic @fightelement]

@ProtomCannon @Pond3r @jchensor @GunterJPN @OkamotoKitchen @AfroCole @TheAlexValle @Sirlin Trivia: TTG was coined by @derek_omni IIRC.

There was also a TTG2 (following year), and a very small TTG3 at a different location (1999).

[tragic @fightelement]

@SuperDojo Trivia: Alpha 3 Nationals is where we all met Daigo for the first time, and I coined the nickname "The Beast" which has stuck forever.

It's also where the lesser known "Press Some Buttons Cole" meme came from. @AfroCole =)

[DR.B : EVO 2025 Champion of CVS1 PRO @ EVO 2026 @DRB3000]

To @SuperDojo aka Mike Watson : I may not ever win an @EVO Award despite attending 25 years this year since B5 in 2001, winning a world title & numerous Top 3’s/Top 5’s/Top 8’s, REF’ing over a decade, tournament organizing, commentary, & having many moments and highlights since the EVO 2002 DVD dropped but I’m SO PROUD of you big bro for winning an EVO Hall of Fame mention. You deserve that, I remember you being kind to me when I first came in the scene at 20 years old. My senseis are @AfroCole , X-Rolento aka Jason Nelson, & Graham Wolfe. You were also a mentor to me back then and still are now even with me approaching 45 years old this summer ! Much love familia 🙏🏾🙌🏾🖖🏾🇺🇸

See you tonight 🥳

[James “jchensor” Chen @jchensor]

Not the first time this has happened. 😆

For Dead or Alive 4 at Evo West, Jason Cole (@AfroCole) overslept the entirety of pools. But there were not many entrants and, iirc, everyone except one person in the pool was DQ’ed. He showed up for Top 8, so we just let him play. LOL!

[CoN MarikMaki (以前は Milky J) @MarikMakiEnt]

I'm really enjoying @Evo's interviews with Champions, but I would really like to see other greats covered such as @cUrSe_MightyMar @RyanJosephHart @PerfectLegend @AfroCole @KDZaster @sanfordkelly and @robertlcombs just for quick names off the top of my head!
