As a casual Melty Blood fan, I can attest that something that made OG Melty Blood so amazingly resilient is that it was a beautiful and solid fighting game that any potato Dell Optiplex on your local elementary school running Windows XP 32 bit can play it. The Melty Blood FGC is so grassroots that it spawned from a pile of grass cowshit.

lol i took this photo even now we still don't really know why the airbnb had logs in the first place even though there was no fireplace, but having electricity there was a miracle in of itself given the state of the place

Tsukohime

Imagine showing this image to the Melty Blood cast and telling them the context behind it.

this video is swag and I like how it humanizes the fgc rather than making them out to be sweaty weirdos like most youtubers do

I'm sad I just saw this but a friend and I are the ones that ran those tournaments by the gazebo for a year and change. Towards the end of the run we had people traveling from Singapore, Canada, and other parts of the world to play in front of that snapple machine, and eventually in the actual gazebo. We stopped running it because the city wouldn't supply electricity even when we bought the permits for everything, effectively killing it off. There's a deeper history to that 'bathroom' image that goes way past the *really* tired memes but I'm humbled you touched on how hard the devotion is of the community, so thank you. Subb'ed :D

i love some TSUKOHIME

Tsukihime is a classic VN that recently got a remake, due to Tsukihime Remake, Melty Blood got a new game too.

This is shaping up to be one of youtube's GOAT series.

I don't play a lot of fighting games due to my ape brain but I've always admired the dedication of the communities surrounding them

sukohime my beloved

Very happy you're back and I love this new series. Bite sized, more humour and more appeal. If you don't get more popular I don't know what to tell you man.

Melty Blood is poverty. Melty Blood is passion. Melty Blood survives no matter how niche. Melty Blood will cause your kids to become thuggary. Melty Blood will outlast the human race itself. The final light to be snuffed out after the heat death of the universe will be a lone computer monitor, and on it, the latest version of Melty. It is the rock on the eternal shore. Melty's players will not let the flame die. Melty is. Because its community refuses to allow it not to be.

Love that Zeal & Ardor hoodie btw!

Gotta _be honest_ this show has gotten off to a great start

I'll probably stick around for another episode but so far the new format hasn't really been my tastes. Other people seem to be liking it though so good luck and keep making the content you wanna make. ✌

Bring back the bathroom tournies

Underrated goat video series

Not what I expected, or I just forgot what the first one was like. Probably the latter, still a good-ass time I can relate to the start, except for actively following a scene or more. Think most people who enjoy fighting games have been there. And even in the absolute not amateur level I'm at, making the jump is always wonderful. I'm still itching to play ones I enjoy more, and find more games I'd like. It's like a drug

The image of all time 💻🚽
