Blue Blurs for Life!
I know we all are grieving for the passing of Terrance "PushaTee88" Moore, but I feel that to honor his memory we must push forward with the promotion of his favorite fighting game. And apparently, Mr. Adam Isgreen a.k.a. Ishmae1 from the Ultra Combo forums agrees. In today's textual stream, he goes on to pay his respects to Terrance while recounting his own experiences with the dude, before proceeding to highlight game issues that he and Iron Galaxy are working to address at this time. Oh...and is that a teaser for "Not-A-Mummy" at the end there?

Before I get to talking about anything else this week, I’d like to say a few words about Terrance Moore (aka PushaTee), who passed away recently after collapsing at The Runback. I met Terrance at EVO, and the impressions he left with me were that he’s exactly the type of person that I get up in the morning and go to work to create games for. He loved the FGC, he loved KI, he was friendly, social, and great to hang out and chat with. He was excited about gaming, the entire community of players, eager to share tips on things he’d discovered, got excited talking about characters both new and old, and happy to talk to you about the stuff he didn’t like, always in a positive and constructive way. And I think that’s really the biggest thing I took away from meeting him – he was a positive influence on those around him and brought you up just by being in his presence. Seeing him again, I certainly would have smiled immediately and greeted him just like any longtime friend.
I know I’m only a single point of contact he had in his life, but his family and friends certainly have my condolences and sympathy in their time of loss. I know he’ll be missed dearly.
R.I.P. Terrance Moore
To be honest, it’s pretty hard to do the rest of the stream in my normal upbeat style at this point. In the spirit of being positive though, I’ll cover some things that are topical in the community right now:
Anyone remember trading cards that had a big image on the back of them that you had to collect all of them to see?
Have a good weekend. Be a positive influence to the people around you.

Hello everyone,
Before I get to talking about anything else this week, I’d like to say a few words about Terrance Moore (aka PushaTee), who passed away recently after collapsing at The Runback. I met Terrance at EVO, and the impressions he left with me were that he’s exactly the type of person that I get up in the morning and go to work to create games for. He loved the FGC, he loved KI, he was friendly, social, and great to hang out and chat with. He was excited about gaming, the entire community of players, eager to share tips on things he’d discovered, got excited talking about characters both new and old, and happy to talk to you about the stuff he didn’t like, always in a positive and constructive way. And I think that’s really the biggest thing I took away from meeting him – he was a positive influence on those around him and brought you up just by being in his presence. Seeing him again, I certainly would have smiled immediately and greeted him just like any longtime friend.
I know I’m only a single point of contact he had in his life, but his family and friends certainly have my condolences and sympathy in their time of loss. I know he’ll be missed dearly.

To be honest, it’s pretty hard to do the rest of the stream in my normal upbeat style at this point. In the spirit of being positive though, I’ll cover some things that are topical in the community right now:
- We’re aware of the issues around not seeing ranked progress before and after fights – changes are coming.
- Fightcard changes are coming too.
- There are more selection slots for character customization coming. The first change will be that there’s no more “default” for each, so you have 2 slots for standard costume and 2 for retro that you can customize accessories to. We’ll be talking about this more soon.
- We know there’s been some issues with people spending KI Gold. Thank you to those players that are directly helping us with this.
- We also know there’s been some issues with veteran rewards. Thank you to the players that are directly helping us with that as well.
- There is an entirely new ranked system coming early next year.
- There are tiers of ranking that you rise through while playing ranked. Once you hit Killer Rank, the real challenge begins.
- All Killer ranked matches are best of 3. KI is a game that gets better the more you play against someone. We’re embracing this for ranked play.
- There are multiple systems coming with this that will heavily punish bad sportsmanship. Be a good player, win or lose.
- Until the new system rolls out, use the old system, learn characters, learn strats, get your game in order.
Anyone remember trading cards that had a big image on the back of them that you had to collect all of them to see?
Have a good weekend. Be a positive influence to the people around you.
