FGC Philosophy

Hello all!

Last week we did a 2-part tournament in the FGC Quicky episode I talked about day 2, and my experience at GVSU (Link to episode Here).

I've been getting better about having topics at the ready, recording, and editing in a timely manner and that makes me happy!

Points

• 100% don't matter for newer players and more experienced players.
• The important part is what these characters can do, and what your optimal choices are.
• Tier list is a crutch that most players use to help them carry all their excuses.
• Knowing how good a character isn't helpful, knowing what your options are is.
• I've talked about this before but it's worth revisiting that I've played FANG since launch
  • He's a low character and I managed to hit Diamond with him, with the limited time I have.
  • I didn't let teir-list affect my performance when I hit a wall against an opponent I figured out what I COULD do not would I couldn't do.
  • I found unique Ideas to deal with so many situations.
