The FGC might be the most incredible institution in competitive gaming and over the years, it’s given esports’ some of its most memorable moments.
But where did this scene with such a rich history, built by dozens of iconic games and personalities begin?

Fighting games and the fgc are what keep me playing any video games at all.
Now go watch Hi Score Girl. You will not regret it.
moment 37 is so efing special, people still looking for another great moments but cant even top Daigo's full parry
11:40 Does Miles look like Zeus or is it just me? :DDD
no melee rip
So many old friends in one vid. RIP CF
Will u do a vid about the TF2 comunitty? Without it that game would have been dead.
I love FGC, community have the most transgenders.
All i play is Smash Ultimate, but i love the history behind the whole FGC. Having legends such as Valle and Daigo, all the way to Armada, M2K and Mango staying in the scene really keeps it going. We don't have the money or the support that Dota 2 or CSGO have from the developers, because we support it plenty enough on our own, and i love that.
but hey, Nintendo, psst….
pls sponsor tournaments
What introduced me to the FGC:
1. Tekken
2. Core-A Gaming
3. The Score eSports
4. Daigo Moment 37
TOPIC: GARENA
Why did you guys delete my comment? All I said was that the black kids ruin the scene for everyone and provided evidence to my claims. Low Tier god with his openly salty behavior, FC Jago rigging high stakes money matches, Sanford Kelly throwing his fight stick after losing a match at a tournament, Triforce forcing his players to make fake acceptance speeches after winning tournaments, giving him all the credit to thier sucess. And let's not forget everyone's favorite fighting game competitor Noel Brown, the first person to ever attack another player at a tournament because he lost, except the person he attacked was a SPECTATOR, the guy had a broken leg for god sakes and Noel got upset because he was cheering for Noel's opponent. And then there was that time when Noel viciously attacked his ex-girlfriend at fucking EVO of all places because one of his friends had tipped him off about her having sex with her new partner in one of the hotel rooms at a hotel he himself happened to be staying at. The worst part is that he beat her bloody while she was fully naked and he had the audacity to have the biggest shit eating grin in his mugshot. Thank you for deleting my comment "theScoreEsports" you guys really do your best to not get the word out there…. oh and by the way?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????
the sheer hype of a close FGC match is one of the most insane feelings ever
do a story of vain glory, the first moba esport smartphone
atpQuan
Even though i have seen moment 37 over a hundred times it still amazes me
Why didn't you do this video 1 week later? EVO 19 is in 4-5days away!
(The biggest world championship for Fighting Games, that lasts an entire weekend)
We have limits despite our Variety. Like, never associate the Anime Brawlers like MHA One Justice or Naruto Ninja Storm a game part of the FGC
People say shit about fighting games not having a proper story.
The real epic stories are in the tournament scene.
7:57 man just shave that shit
Capcom didn’t kill Marvel Vs Capcom. Marvel had a lot more control over that game than Capcom and the season pass for the game shows that. I blame Marvel more for what happen to that game than Capcom.
"Street Beaters III" Now that's a knockoff name 2:06
PLEASE MORE FGC CONTENT!
Good video, but I wish you had shown a bit more of the fight on Evo moment 37, that moment is so beautiful.
The only representation Smash got in a video talking about the FGC was that it is debatable whether or not Smash is part of the FGC. Not even a mention of the Wombo Combo.
…Huh
"The heroes of the FGC don't just vanish"
Lemme introduce you to Mike Ross
It feels like this a video youve made 15 times already
I saw the melee.
But i have to ask.
Where the fuck is the melee?
No yipes?!
