A good friend, community member and training partner is dealing with an unimaginable loss. If you're able to help (donate or share) it's appreciated https://t.co/T4uD70bSic
it is part of a very big systemic problem from my perspective. when discourse on the West is dominated by *shallow* conversations of tier lists and character strength - it creates a disconnect and stuff that should be appreciated goes unnoticed.
it is something very easily seen in SF6 when it comes to how educated the JP audience is on the game but i saw this same difference between western and JP audiences from following pro wrestling for years. it is eerily similar.
@jchensor this was such a great video James! I love watching these in-depth breakdowns from different people, its great to see some long form content in the age of tiktok
FGC Truths - Gandido Edition
During my time in the FGC, I was proverbially known as a labbing maniac, having written many detail-rich guides. I think that gives me a particular POV on things.
Here's some thoughts for those who want to compete at a higher level (thread)
Not sure if anyone follows me here anymore but my band Bending Light released a record today. It's on all of the streaming platforms as well as Bandcamp.

Venue internet got you down?
Try Offline Mode for Startgg by @jmlee337! This offline-first client lets you see and report matches offline, then syncs online once internet is back.
You can even grant per-pool access to report matches from other browsers on your local network!
@RobTeeVee the MU kinda sucks for Cammy but she doesn't have much strike threat (typically just lights), which makes her command grab less scary.
burn her stocks with drive rev and stay drive positive and run strong offense when you get the advantage
idc what anyone say but sometimes, you need just a bit of delusion to push yourself. most times, even when I knew otherwise, I had to feel I was better than my competitors to get what I wanted, even if results said otherwise. This isn't applicable only to games. general life.
I should be a bit more generous to myself and accept that I hit top 8 3/6 tournaments I played in the last year (which is better than 3/12). It is a testament to the strength of the scene and I need to work harder if I want results.
missed another locals top 8, have only hit top 8 3 times in the last year (after doing 11/12 first 12 tournaments). Gotta figure out what to change and soon, definitely feeling my age, not sure how much longer I have to compete
@GranTODAKAI PS5 w/o VRR is pretty rough, but if you play on dhalsim\jp\guile stages, the performance hit is the smallest. It's atleast a known quantity at that point adjust
PC can vary so much from setup to setup it adds a lot of doubt
optimal PC > optimal PS5 (but not by a whole lot)

pulling sample data from the GOAT @NeoJudai 's motivation academy into my project (maybe a lil more global appeal than my locals). Is this kind of stuff cool? Is it missing some cool stats to track?
just a slop front end at the moment. gonna release backend stuff as open source with documentation at some point. may package it as a docker container / stand alone app of there is interest
1/ been messing with a https://t.co/WpkcfVzy0s scraper that aggregates some stats (individual player stats, top 8 performance, head to head), idea being something you can run for your locals / tournament series (possibly use as an obs overlay)
