I hope those who know DED well can take solace in the fact that the entire Toronto scene uses the DED OS as often as possible (and in many ways).

Especially Queege who has multi-layer DED OSs.

RIP 💔

The second interview episode of Spiritual Street Fighter features my good friend, Melee legend, and 3S pending legend @Matteo_R_C! Like my first guest @shoryushoryu, Matteo has helped me tremendously since I met him two years ago, and I know his wisdom can help you, too!

Topics include:
-overcoming tournament nerves
-leadership, practical and spiritual/ethical, in the FGC + community building
-the pain of making fighting game performance your entire identity
-navigating the cesspool of Melee trash talk and his time with "The Hyenas"
-Matteo's rock bottom with Melee mentality and how he refocused on fun
-player expression and inspiration
-"It's the journey, not the destination"
-human connection through gameplay and deeper friendships in the scene
-how Matteo's grandmother taught him the value of helping others
-the time he channeled his anger to beat Mango
-aspiring to values and ideals even if we never perfectly reach them

I hope you enjoy it!

Spiritual Street Fighter Ep. 7:
Steve Prefontaine and the Philosophy of Style

“Some people play to see who’s the best. I play to see who has the most guts.”

This episode explores:
The Philosophy of Competition
Winning vs. Style
illustrations ft. Tokido, Daigo Umehara, Queege, Hayao, and, yes, Steve Prefontaine
Character selection as an aesthetic or even ethical choice
"Player Expression"
and more!

Sorry for the delay on this. I had to replace an important part of my home studio just as I was finishing this up, but I’m good to go now, so expect more soon…!

[Allen Childs (Poe22222) @nowbandnyc]

TY for the nice comments on the latest ep! Someone even used the burning scroll GIF re: "I play to see who has the most guts." That line was all Prefontaine, though!

Link is below!

Also, the 2nd SSF interview pod featuring @Matteo_R_C is ready for release next week! 🔥

[ymd @ymd_sng]

このダラスで開催される大会、3rd strike openはまじで面白い。
熱狂と歓声と地鳴りがまじで狂ってる。
そして実力関係なく行くだけで日本代表になれる。普通経験できるものじゃない。
とんでもなく感情が揺さぶられる。

Canada East Championships 2026 was one of the best Toronto FG events I’ve ever attended. The boys absolutely killed it today.

Looking forward to Toryuken.
