Street Fighter 6 Reveals Ed, Tekken 8 Launch Week, and a Degree in the FGC

This week we start with the latest Street Fighter 6 trailer, sharing thoughts on the new DLC character, Ed. We delve into Ed’s background, speculate on gameplay changes, and analyze a cryptic tweet hinting at a collaboration. As we get ready for the release of Tekken 8 we discuss its accessibility features and welcome the new era of fighting games. We also discuss a concept that merges Marvel characters with a Mortal Kombat feel, an Arcade Time Capsule in VR, and UC Berkeley’s “The Art of Fighting Games” course; exploring its academic legitimacy and potential impact on education.

Video gaming runs in his blood and competition plagues his mind. From the earliest days in the now extinct arcades, to the eSports competitive scene, he looks forward to the next game to test his skills. No stranger to rising salt levels.

Got his start gaming with his two cousins and brother at his aunts house. They had to always play in secret, but he fell in love with fighting games when he got his first taste of an arcade in Maryland. Now looks to grow the community.
