LAST TIME ON FIGHTING GAME ERA HQ
We escaped to a newly discovered planet to wish for a new Era and bring back our dead friends back to life!
But the evil space overlord, Capcom, is trying to DESTROY the FGC!
But wait...we have our heroes to save us: Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite and....SMASH?!?!
Street Fighter V takes a shot at Capcom first because after all he is the PRINCE OF ALL FIGHTERS.
But he dies before he can get a hit in.
Tekken 7 is pressed on defeating Capcom and saving the FGC. With great potential, spirit, and HYPE.
He's got a strong character line up, incredible depth, and wonderful polish but...He fizzles out right when he's getting started! Can anyone save the FGC from Capcom?!
But wait - HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! Dragon Ball Fighter Z has anime-like graphics and was trained in heaven by Arc System Works. But everyone knows anime games die and can't last in this landscape. Can we really put our faith in such a game?
Not wasting any time, Capcom kills Marvel vs Capcom Infinite without mercy.
"DBFZ! HELP!"
A new hope lies in Dragon Ball Fighter Z to save fighting gamers from poverty and busted locals. Will Arc System Works triumph over Capcom? Stay tuned!

Local meet ups are the fighting game community. Participate in your locals to help the games thrive, have competition, make friends, get the opportunity to travel, and grow as a player.
ZombieBrian's FGC world map has a list of most every fighting game local in the world. If it's not on there, search for your nearest city and then fighting game community on Google. Usually you'll turn up a Facebook group. We're big on FB groups and Discord for planning meet ups.
FGC Tournament Schedule courtesy of EventHubs.
Free eBokok on How To Learn To Play Fighting Games by Patrick Miller is a must have for those new or even intermediate.
Tips for the first time competitors in the tourney scene
Domination 101 series of articles made by top players back in the day on SRK. Many have been lost to time and server resets but you can still find them. Here's one of the more famous ones.
Footsies Handbook is the Bible on high level fighting game strategy. It's good to go through each one multiple times. You could deconstruct each one in a very analytical manner.
Playing To Win by David Sirlin is another FGC cult classic that embodies the spirit of becoming truly high level, which is the goal for many, and the mindset one should instill to reach it.
Drunkard Shade's Exploring Fighting Game Series which aims at helping new or intermediate players rise to the ranks of high level.
Reddit's r/fighters isn't a bad resource for those trying to get into fighting games.
DustLoop Wiki has all pertinent information and resources for many niche anime fighters. Using it is invaluable for progress and information. Mizuumi is also an alternative for such games.
SRK's wiki is just as invaluable depending on the game. Super Turbo and Ultra Street Fighter IV's wikis in particular are indispensable regarding the amount of information and knowledge within them.
Tekken 7's frame data is available via RB Norway. There's also an app available for mobile. Same for SFIV/V via FAT.
Drunkard Shade's Guilty Gear Crash Course is not only a fantastic resource for Guilty Gear but anime fg fundamentals in general.
MarkMan's arcade stick thread for whenever it pops up.
Remember...WE ANIME NOW!
Any other suggestions to the OP would be nice.
