Warrior
I was in an off-top discussion when @TopTierHarley Mentioned his initial encounter with the FGC. I asked how he came across test your might and he said that he was searching for combo videos.
My question to you! I dont care if you're an online warrior, a stay at home stream monster, if you go 0-2 at every event, if I've never met you, or if you place top 8 at every event, how did you find out about the FGC/Testyourmight.com?
The fighting game genres reaches out to probably one of the smallest demographics in video games, how is it that we have tournaments and a community? Most gamers think all a fighting game provides you is an arcade ladder and maybe a shitty story, which is why critics and casual gamers were blown away by MK9 and injustice because of how great the experience is for the casual gamer. This same casual gamer would probably look at you like a crack head if you told him how many hours people spend playing the same fighting game as the same character or just a handful of characters. How intensely and precisely some people study the game, frame data and move list.
What I think NRS/WB needs to do is start supporting our scene just by slightly mentioning it. Imagine if MKX mentioned us to the hundreds of thousands of players who are gonna play it, but would have never EVER known about this community? The potential is outrageous whether it was a mention at the end of the training tutorial in the game, or a simple mention on the front of the booklet inside the game's case.
I wanna hear from EVERYONE Big or small! lurkers and posters! online and offline!

But yea Tom's clear commentary and analysis videos are what tied me to the FGC for a long time, there was something so newb friendly about them even if they were discussing tech I didn't really understand.
