THIS IS AS GOOD AS TUNA WITH BACON!!! Not content to give all us fans the Marvel Vs. Capcom collection, Capcom also announced the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, including... yes, indeed, including Capcom Vs. SNK 2!!

THIS GAME AIN'T FOR NO BEGINNERS! James didn't get to play much of the Alpha Lab, but from what he experienced and heard from others, this game is not a simple game by any stretch of the imagination. People may think the game is supposed to be beginner friendly with the one-button Special Moves, but this might be one of the more execution heavy games in a while!

COACHING CAN DEFINITELY HELP OUR SCENE! The topic of coaching came up once again in the FGC. And although it's been talked about on this show before, James has not dedicated an entire episode to the topic. So here is James's take, and yes, he thinks coaching should absolutely be allowed in the FGC! == TIME STAMPS == 0:00:00 Intro 0:04:02 More Roles For Players 0:06:05 Officializing Coaches / Making Rules 0:09:38 No Realtime Coaching 0:12:18 Great Potential Coaches In The FGC 0:13:44 Old Man James / Not Enough Roles 0:17:33 Providing A Future For Players 0:22:19 Ramifications Of Coaching On Wins / Schedules 0:28:18 Deal With It!

HAS EVO STRAYED TOO FAR FROM BEING A TOURNAMENT? Some people (most of whom don't attend Evo anymore) have criticized Evo for becoming too much of a convention as opposed to being a tournament as it used to be. James weighs in on this, and talks about why Evo continues to... well... evolve!

VIEWERSHIP, VIEWERSHIP, VIEWERSHIP! The same things get brought up every year after Evo, namely the prize money. But there's a lot more to discuss for this year, such as the new venue and the issues that arose from the queue to get into the arena! It was kind of a blow up, so how should they fix it?

HE DID IT! HE DID IT! AND THE US IS FINALLY NOT WINLESS SINCE SFIV!!! Punk the mad lad did it! He won Evo, and while I'm super happy for him, there's a lot of other interesting tidbits and data about the SF6 tournament at Evo thanks to some of our good friends like CatCammy6 and such.

ONE OF THE MOST SURREAL EXPERIENCES THE FGC HAS AFFORDED ME! Somehow, through some weird twist of fate, I had the opportunity to hang out with Bill Walton for almost a whole day specifically to talk to him about Fighting Games. He was really wise and had a lot of really interesting advice and such. Obviously very sad at his recent passing, but that I can say we crossed paths at some point is definitely a blessing.

HARADA IS A CERTIFIED REBEL! Social Media every so often does elicit some amazing conversations and stories. Someone talking about Soul Calibur prompted Harada, the director of Tekken, to write a VERY LONG AND VERY DETAILED account of what happened at Bandai Namco and why Soul Calibur fell off so hard after Soul Calibur II.

A 25-YEAR OLD GAME HAS OVER 1,000 ENTRANTS? WHAT?!? Evo registration has ended and as customary to their tradition the entry numbers were released for every game.

RASHID NOW WINS BACK TO BACK DREAMHACKS! IS HE THE BEST CHARACTER? The talk of DreamHack Sweden is definitely Big Bird winning with Rashid!

THERE WAS NO WAY I BELIEVED THIS COULD EVER BE AN ACTUAL THING!!!! (Apologies about the static-y noise in the episode, will look into trying to fix that for the future!) There are no words that can describe how much the Marvel games meant to James and his Fighting Game career.

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? James talks about it from his viewpoint! == TIME STAMPS == 0:00:00 Intro 0:01:38 Is The FGC Too Soft Now? 0:05:05 We Already Have Heels 0:08:23 Legit Good Rivalries 0:11:07 Caring About People's Well-Being 0:15:27 Fighting Games Are Emotional 0:18:05 The Scope Has Changed 0:26:45 It Is Different Nowadays 0:29:51 Do We Want More Heels? 0:33:00 Stop Glorifying OG "Beef" 0:37:50 "I Survived The OG FGC" 0:40:28 We Want People To Enjoy Fighting Games! 0:42:56 Closing Thoughts Find the YouTube version of this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDDgLAp7UAc Get the audio version of this episode here: https://soundcloud.com/ultrachentv/doweneedmorebeef 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

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.

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.

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.

WITH THE WAY SO MANY FIGHTERS HAVE LAUNCHED, SF6'S LAUNCH SHOULD BE PRAISED! So many games have launched recently and not launched very well.

IS THE PROBLEM ACTUALLY GUESSING, OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? In the Modern Vs. Old Fighting Game discussion that's been permeating social media of late, one topic in particular keeps cropping up: guessing in Fighting Games.
