[TheBoyBlunder]

man y'all some herbs.

This is a great piece, I know a lot of fighters (real life fighters, not professional button pressers) that got into the whole fighting scene because they wanted to be like the video game character they played, whether it was MK or SF. WWF was also an influence That video game conditioning was a real thing.

It just goes to show how power a video game can be in ones life.

 

[John Grizzly]

Z list celebrity claims to have preferred MK over Street Fighter.

This is huge news.

Nigga I know the sport is MMA, but the brand UFC is dying.

Since, all the classic fighters are old and gone no one has a emotional attachment to the new cats.
