I can believe it, fighting games are the only genre that summons a mad rage in even the calmest people they never knew they had in them.
"You've got that killer instinct."Watched a dude get stabbed over a game of MVC2 because he was a hothead and talking shit.
I've seen some rough shit, and been in a few fucked up situations in the arcades when i was young. Not surprised at all.
I still miss the arcades tho'.

Yeah I've seen this before at my local arcade too. Never knew why people get so upset at throws. It's like let's play rock paper scissor but NO ROCK!!!That's the thing, you don't have to be good for them to do that :(. Just throw a person in SFII and you could be looking at some fists coming your way.
That and killing the other player in 1983 Mario Bros. by knocking them into enemies. I came close to getting my ass kicked a few times.I can believe it, fighting games are the only genre that summons a mad rage in even the calmest people they never knew they had in them.
So arcade douchebaggery showed that gamers were trash long before Gamergate.
Blame Netflix, they don't release weekly so you have to wait till all the episodes are release, which will be at the earliest in December. Fansubs are available if you just can't wait.I saw this scene in Hi-Score Girl on Netflix!
Which reminds me, where is season 2?
I thought it was supposed to be out in October...

If MOBAs were on arcades in the 90's they probably would have had a murder rate it's sounding like.I can believe it, fighting games are the only genre that summons a mad rage in even the calmest people they never knew they had in them.

Getting beat up in the arcade for no reason was practically a rite of passage in 1994.
I don't smoke but if I ever get lung cancer, I'm blaming the arcades of my youth.The arcade I went to in the 80s-90s was a seedy-ass gang hangout that was so permeated by cigarette smoke if you stayed in for more than an hour you'd come out with a greasy film on you
Yeah it was pretty bad for a long time and still is depending on the game. Several years ago there was an incident at a tournament broadcast that blew up when a player who was commentating tried to argue that sexual harassment was normal and just party of the atmosphere.TIL that FGC's toxicity is widely accepted as a cultural norm...
I've been watching Smash Tourney rage compilations sporadically the past few weeks. Pretty sure I saw this one. Guest caster was making a rape joke, then tried to defend it and they ejected him and apologized on stream.Yeah it was pretty bad for a long time and still is depending on the game.

This made me genuinely laugh, and recall the horrors of hearing that. People get piiiiiisssssed of when you throw them, especially repeatedly
This one was on a Street Fighter X Tekken promotion. It was Aris Bakhtanians responding to the question "Can I get my Street Fighter without sexual harassment?"I've been watching Smash Tourney rage compilations sporadically the past few weeks.

You can't. You can't because they're one and the same thing. This is a community that's, you know, 15 or 20 years old, and the sexual harassment is part of a culture, and if you remove that from the fighting game community, it's not the fighting game community—it's StarCraft. There's nothing wrong with StarCraft if you enjoy it, and there's nothing wrong with anything about eSports, but why would you want just one flavor of ice cream, you know? There's eSports for people who like eSports, and there's fighting games for people who like spicy food and like to have fun. There's no reason to turn them into the same thing, you know?

I'm sure that was a very traumatizing time for youSome random girl kissed me in the arcade because I gave her a quarter so she could beat the Simpsons with her friends.
