So one of my friends thought this post I made 2 days ago warranted its own thread. I think we've been here before so I brought up new'isher... Information. You all be the judge. I'm out. Gotta beat scrubs in Blacklight Retribution.
The "FGC" is about as realistic as any of those old myths or fables you see portrayed on the big screen such as "Jack and the Beanstalk". Its a good idea, a solid theo ry, and something people liked to see. However right now it really isn't viewed like that on the inside. You have this community divided into so many different sub-factions its ridiculous. Let me pause and say look at American Government. Its only got 2 main sides and and the independents. And we see how their integration can slow down any sort of progress on the issues. Now some may say this comparison is ridiculous since there is no one "designated" leader of the FGC which is true but I'm going to explain this.
As of right now there seems to be more than just 3 parties at this point. (Capcommunity) (NRS/KI Community) (Anime Fighting Community) (Smash Community) ect.. ect.. and all typically only promote the games they're interested in and that creates a small issue. This "FGC" isn't a real united concept. You have people out there calling people "The NRS Fraudulent Scumbags" "Capcommunity Reacharound Elitists" "Tekken is Boring as hell" "DOA is still alive" "Oh you play Anime fighter? You must be a social degenerate" and things of that nature circulating around. So in a lot of cases there are some communities that would rather avoid meshing with other communities as much as possible. Also there's player base imbalance in the mix. I mean I don't know how many times I hop into a non Capcom stream and all I see in chat is "When's Marvel" "This game is ass" "Where's SF4?" "This game is a Street Fighter Clone LOL" "This game is ass" and I know it may be in good fun in some cases. But for any newcomer who sees it, just might take it as law. Which by proxy stuns growth. You see communities having "beef" with one another and each community glorifies the MOST ignorant of things. Hell if I told you right now "Chris G, Miles, and Yipes got into a real fight with Pig of the Hut, M2Dave, and REO". Some of yall would be going BAT SHIT INSANE for the footage and the "HYPE" and "Front page this!". Now you could say no you wouldn't but... wasn't it only a month ago there was a thread about a controversy with a girl on TYM and her SEX TAPE with another player? In which people were saying "Its okay girl don't be embarrassed you looked GOOD doing your thing." Yeah, that was the phrase they were using in her defense... Yep.
Not to mention top players can get a free pass at a lot of stuff. I mean if Average Joe player does some "fraudulent backdoor stuff" people talking about ban him/her from tournaments and deliver some swift judgement. However top player does something on the same level, all of a sudden its "adding to the hype". "Top player comes out and says he got robbed or lost in a fraudulent manner" a whole bunch of people come to that person's defense and start beefs with people jumping on the same guys back. Its ridiculous in some areas. However if some random gets to top 16 and makes an excuse. Oh the community is on that man/woman like flies on shit. "SUCK IT UP SCRUB" "FRAUD ASS" ect. Now its not everyone obviously but we are aware that a vast amount of them are serious.
The FGC is the only gaming community I've seen dysfunctional enough to damn near want to castrate some T.Os. have T.Os not deliver on promises "even pay outs". Then having T.Os and players screaming at eachother "FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR GAME FUCK YOUR MONEY" (see V.X.G. or UGFT9). Literally its like we're becoming WorldStarGaming... That'll be a YouTube channel in 3...2...~
Also a little difference in how things are ran is that there is no standard setups. Its a misconception out there with a lot of people I know who wanted to get into fighting games that "I need a 300$ Hit box too be good." "I need a 150$ Arcade stick." "They make 4 versions of the same game and charge for DLC on top of it" Outside looking in a lot of people see Fighting games as a money pit. So a lot of people don't jump in, but that's partly because the community doesn't advertise that kind of thing too much. I mean when you watch a lot of these Majors being stream its like "PROMOCODE FOR THIS HITBOX 60$ OFF ($240) or something to that effect. Also variant differences. Sometimes one game runs better on PS3 or better on Xbox 360. Then some play on PC at overdose frame rates. Some will soon play on PS4 or Xbox One which will be at 60fps. Also given many games "one frame links" sometimes even the MONITOR can limit your playstyle. Which isn't too common in any other competitive game type. Also to the average person Fighting games get boring real fast. I mean go on XBL/PSN/PC online. After the first 5 or 6 months of the game's release. Those rooms are damn near dead sometimes. Maybe 200 people or less. While in FPS, I can still find games in Modern Warfare 2... Hell I can still find games in Halo Reach.
Also there's always seems to be a large wave of bullying going on in the community that's tolerated and accepted as the way of the land.

Too Long Didn't Watch Videos about some bullying:
Cliff Notes: DarkGuyver_3 helps 3 other people get to EVOLUTION 2013. All he asks is that they chip in gas. He allows them to borrow his car (to go to eateries/restaurants around the venue) nice charitable guy. However the trio of strangers, accuse him of stealing, leave him to fend for himself in the desert (Guyver's car breaks down. The 3 of them get a ride with the police man and DON'T send anyone back for Guyver who stayed with his car to make sure the towing company would come through), the trio lied to this man's wife!... sounds like a captivating plot for the next Liam Neeson film. "Taken 3: EVOLUTION"
Probably seen it before, but apparently its okay to blow people up like this for a laugh.
Numerous other problems though. But I've wasted enough of your time. Thanks for joining me on BlackPreon In Space. See you next Post!
