I have decided that I will be perusing Fighting games full time, and that I will be working hard to become a professional FGC esports player.
I'm ready for the grind
This is why SFEXOnline exists.
We bring Street Fighter EX matches together in one place: organising footage, crediting players and uploaders to make the scene easier to find.
Celebrate 29 years of EX Plus Alpha through our archive👇

29 years later, people from Turkey to Chile to the UK are still playing Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha online through @Arkadyzja.
They’re running sets & sharing matches.
The EX series is connecting people across the world, and we want more people to find it and join in.
Japan’s Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha release looked strikingly different from the NA and EU versions.
Years later, Evan Nixon created this brilliant wireframe redesign as a perfect tribute to EX’s distinct visual identity.

EX Plus Alpha brought the arcade version home and made it bigger.
Dhalsim and Sakura joined the roster, new modes were added, and every fighter received a CG ending.
Japan also got new text epilogues after beating Bison.

Artists, if you want to build a strong community online, start by truly being a part of it. Think of yourself as the founding member—someone who sets the tone and energy. Even the briefest positive interactions can turn a casual listener into a lifelong fan.
My optimistic view on London is most of the things you want in music and culture are here already. If it feels missing, it’s either not in your ends, not affordable to you or you don’t know it’s there. If what you want doesn’t exist you can be part of building it.
One of my takeaways from ADE is most of the people that were pitching start ups would be better off investing in an artist / artists they believe in and building the idea around them. If I see an artist using the ting already I’m interested. Otherwise you are just burning cash.
Apple Music just introduced a new feature allowing artists to promote their tour and show setlists on their profiles.
Here's how the new Set List feature works:
I’m not gonna charge $5000 for a beat to an unsigned artist with a day job. That doesn’t make any sense.
At the same time, artists can’t expect me to sell them exclusive beats for $50 either.
Let’s all be more realistic.
More young artists are focusing on vibes over songwriting and structure, a direct byproduct of the modern creator economy. Vibes are essential, but to turn curiosity streams into repeat listens, the writing has to improve.
