Do We Need More "Beef" In The FGC? May 24, 2024

Show notes

IS IT "SOFT" TO WANT TO WELCOME MORE PEOPLE INTO THE FGC? The topic of wanting more FGC beef came up on Social Media, saying it was better in the "old days" and that the FGC has gotten too soft these days. But is that really true? Is the FGC soft? Was what happened in the past really the glory days? Or was it... like... not cool at all?

Are Pro Players Obligated To Play Sets With "Randoms" That Hit Them Up? May 22, 2024

Show notes

NO ONE HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO PLAY ANY SETS. AT ALL. Some drama erupted in the FGC (surprise...) when UMISHO made a couple of Tweets about palying sets with random people jumping into her DMs. It sparked a debate discussing what the responsibilities and expectations of top players are when it comes to playing newer players and giving them chances to fight against you. As usual, the topic is a lot more complex than people think. And James tackles it head on. == TIME STAMPS == 0:00:00 Intro 0:05:25 Both Sides Are Actually Correct 0:08:40 Emotional Tweeting 0:11:15 We Have No Infrastructure To Help 0:14:13 Empathy Empathy Empathy 0:16:41 Are Top Players Responsible To Help Beginners? 0:20:13 Offline Vs.

WITH ALL THAT'S SAID AND DONE, THE GAME IS REALLY IN A VERY GOOD PLACE BALANCE-WISE! The way the balance has shaken out in Street Fighter 6 has turned out strong.

Are You Less Of A Player For Using Top Tier? May 08, 2024

Show notes

STOP TOP TIER SHAMING! Top players can fall victim to the discourse out there, and it's never more evident when we talk about how strong a character is. People tend to want to downplay their characters because they're worried they'll be discredited for being carried by a top tier. We have to stop this discourse! James explains why! == TIME STAMPS == 0:00:00 Intro 0:05:10 Downplaying Characters 0:07:23 Not Discrediting The Players 0:10:20 Tier Lists Are Real 0:13:02 Avoiding The Nerf Hammer 0:17:14 Recognizing Top Tier Is A Skill 0:20:53 I Thought Kim Was STRONG! :-( 0:22:29 No One Can Say MenaRD Is Carried! 0:24:29 Pick A Top Tier! 0:28:00 It's Healthy To Discuss Tiers 0:32:16 Stop Top Tier Shaming 0:36:06 TRUE Broken Chars Would Be Devs' Fault 0:40:53 It's FUN To Use Top Tier! 0:43:54 Bored Of Same People Winning 0:46:10 You See The Flaws Of Your Character 0:48:02 If A Mix-Up Is Real, It's Real 0:51:14 Will Kim Location Test Buffs Help? 0:53:04 What Strong Tools Actually Are 0:58:03 Closing Thoughts Find the YouTube version of this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnoI4ChR004 Get the audio version of this episode here: https://soundcloud.com/ultrachentv/toptierdiscourse Soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/ultrachentv Itunes - http://UltraChenTV.com/iTunes Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4nOFXvdcuJng3Y14qK3CVF Join the UltraChen Discord! https://discord.gg/VAmkUdp Please consider supporting our Patreon! http://patreon.com/ultrachentv Twitch - http://twitch.tv/ultrachentv Twitter - http://twitter.com/ultrachentv James Chen http://twitter.com/jchensor https://www.twitch.tv/jchensor #FGC #Esports #Podcast
