Here are some FGC-related videos that I'd like to archive for easy access:
Fun video to watch: Tokido's amazing EVO 2017 run
Skip to 4:20 for the biggest flex in gaming history.
Core-A Gaming - The Three Types of Fighting Game Players
LA Akuma's Human Potential series - Hidden wisdom from a SF2 OG
One of my favorite matches ever: Haitani vs Juso in Super Street Fighter 4
Evo 2013 Super Street Fighter 4 - Grand Finals - Xian vs Tokido.
This one is important for me because I like Seth Killian's lecture at the beggining about the importance of empathy in the context of competition.
Also, it's the best SF4 grand final because it's Gen vs Akuma, who are in-game rivals. Both of these characters felt like extensions of the players controlling them. It's anime as fuck.
