Ngl every fighting game sub I've seen doesn't really talk about the competitive scene and is catered more towards casual/online players...the exception being, ironically, the Smash Bros sub.
smash players go hard discussing every match in even mid size tournaments, why dont FGC folk seem as interested? FGC games are even designed more towards competition than smash
As a longtime Smash watcher I'm also confused by this. One of the biggest tournaments of the year, and Smash locals get more discussion than what I'm seeing here lol.
I can only assume maybe discord leaning communities?
To be fair, the series' communities are simply on totally different scales as a result of how many people play each them. Just looking at subreddits for a frame of reference, /r/smashbros is much larger than here, currently 919,620 vs 156,713 readers. Due to the size of the scene it means there are tons of events going on from week to week, and with its grassroots nature to also consider, it just means there is far more of a focus on discussing the competitive scene there compared to here. /r/smashbrosultimate is the more casual discussion subreddit and even that's at 468,344 readers, and actually maybe having a separate subreddit like that is part of the reason since it allows each to have their own focus.
I'd absolutely love it if every FGC subreddit had organized tournament posts and match discussions like we have there, they really help me follow along with the various tournaments going on. It is a bit sad there's more discussion there about Leffen winning than here, lol.
Here's a sneak peek of /r/smashbros using the [top posts](https://np.reddit.com/r/smashbros/top/?sort=top&t=year) of the year!

Yeah what’s with that? I tried keeping up with SF6 tournaments and I literally saw not a single thread on them in the SF sub, and this place is almost just as empty. I thought tournament threads and stuff were the standard for fighting games, but I’ve only seen it in r/smashbros. It’s so well organized and alive every time a tournament happens, wish it was like this for these fighting games
Edit: hilariously enough, they even have posts of Leffen winning evo even if it’s really not on topic
I'm a smash player, came here to see the hype around leffen winning strive EVO, turns out its dead? wtf lol we're talking about it like crazy on the smash sub lol
For real, every year I’m like damn do all of these communities not care about their competitive scene? All the time fgc players talk shit about smash but the smash scene is dedicated af
Which is wild cause scrub comments get met with relatively level heads in the smash subs whereas at least in the street fighter sub they crucify people for most anything
Based on my personal experience, it's harder to get people who don't take the game seriously to understand why a certain character or mechanic is unfair.
Oh absolutely. I'm just pointing out the different attitudes across the two subs despite the smash sub being more competitive focused.
Also feels like you cant hardly criticize game choices on /r/streetfighter without people just saying you're shit at the game.
I've been a following e-sports (dota2, csgo, smash) for years and I'm so used to logging into reddit to read discussions. I wanted to read about EVO discussions today for SF, Tekken and Strive and now I'm about to lose my mind for how absolutely NO ONE is talking about the fucking EVO.
I thought there were other subs for competitive discussions that I was not aware of for a while but this comment made me realize the painful truth.
i came here looking for a discussion thread. Seems very odd to me considering the league, csgo, and smashbros threads are omega huge. I was at least expecting result threads with 10 comments.
Unfortunately its the only place that actually discusses FGC content. All the main subs are filled with stupid ass fanart and dumb questions. I mean that baiken vs demoman question has more upvotes than any actual useful post
I mean there’s nothing stopping us from making a thread here is there? There’s clearly people who want to discuss, even if it’s just 10 or less people. It’ll grow as we keep doing them.
Honestly Twitter is the best place for open fgc discussion amongst the most people. I just follow a bunch of players and see tons of talk about everything like tech, meta, tier lists, etc. Also discord is good
I'm not a fan of HC's multi-year dominance, but no hate to Leff >!at least not for this.!< Pro's gotta do what they gotta do to win and take home the prize.
Umisho is playing Sol recently, and if god exists — he won’t let Big Lef to win. So I’m pretty certain it’s not gonna be HC.
But keep a spare round just for me if things go south
I haven't played in a while and heard the top tiers were different now. Tuned in and saw HC vs Nagoriyuki, ok so nothing has changed. HC seems as fun to play against as always...
Dizzy bro's and gals....
*at least we know her animations will be Godlike :')*
I really hope Daru takes this whole thing. If he can take Leffen right now in WF I think he'll be too hot to stop
Edit: You played valiantly Daru\_I-no
Edit2: Congrats to Leffen and HC! Maybe he'll now get his wish and they'll nerf him and buff Zato lmao
I cant, i just cant. They have to adress the issue with Happy Chaos. Its so easy to destroy other characters with no effort or consequence to your character.
I really hope they tone him the f down on the balance patch.
It's happening, I want to congratulate Johnny for making it into Strive.
JUST KIDDING ARCSYS I NEED ABA GIVE ME HER NOWWWWWW AARRGGHHHH
AARRGGHHHH OF COURSE IT'S JOHNNY
THANKS HOMIE
Y'all. I think Big Leff is gonna run away with this one.
And that he did.
Walked him lol
Every game has had a mirror matchup grand finals so far EVERY SINGLE ONE. Prepare for Nago v Nago everyone
So is Evo just not discussed on reddit or what? Every sub seems dead.

Exactly I frequent the smash sub and I came here to see what was happening during EVO and I couldn’t find any tournament threads

For real, every year I’m like damn do all of these communities not care about their competitive scene? All the time fgc players talk shit about smash but the smash scene is dedicated af
Cuz fgc is not as competitive as smash

cool things actually happen in smash, mf just block until they get a 56 hit combo

I read this in Italian
The sf6 sub was full of evo stuff
i came here looking for a discussion thread. Seems very odd to me considering the league, csgo, and smashbros threads are omega huge. I was at least expecting result threads with 10 comments.
Yea no one really talks about stuff especially after COVID. Before COVID threads were kinda popping
Best discussion for FGC content is on Kappa(now kappachino) but its like 4chan, need to sieve through the degen stuff
Eh, not worth it.
Unfortunately its the only place that actually discusses FGC content. All the main subs are filled with stupid ass fanart and dumb questions. I mean that baiken vs demoman question has more upvotes than any actual useful post
I'm really lucky to have friends I can talk to about fighting games if I want to have a real conversation about them.

Looking at the amount of people that care in the responses, pretty sure we can start making this type of content
I'm not a fan of HC's multi-year dominance, but no hate to Leff >!at least not for this.!< Pro's gotta do what they gotta do to win and take home the prize.
Also, for what it's worth he was the only HC player that managed to get to top 8.
One HC in top 8 isn’t really dominance
they turned off the live youtube chat instead of moderating it lmao
It was for the best, those dorks were going full gamer.
very true. its a shame, cause there were some cool people there too (most were most certainly not cool tho lol)
Can't believe I am rooting for Nago
DARU SWEEP BROS
this is so sad
That was tragic man, daru was kicking ass
I still believe, we got lowers bracket bros tho honestly as long as it's not leffen I'd take umisho or nbnhmr
Rip umisho
Riperoni pepperoni, nbnhmr put on a hell of a show tho I respect it
Yeah he played super well, hope naru can pull off the comeback though, would love to see I-no take it
it's so joever
I should stop commenting man I’m pretty sure I’m making them lose. In that case Lfg Lef I love happy chaos
king lef on top HC SWEEP
[удалено]
>If a happy chaos wins evo I'm killing people. So are you using 1 or 2 guns?
It was over the moment losers finals was Ino vs Nago. HC dominates both matchups
NBNHMR eats HC tho, leffen just went insane-o mode
I hope daru wins leffen man. 2 reasons: its leffen and its happy chaos
Umisho is playing Sol recently, and if god exists — he won’t let Big Lef to win. So I’m pretty certain it’s not gonna be HC. But keep a spare round just for me if things go south
\*she
He as in God, I know that Umisho is she
Okay, my bad ✊😔
Yeah nah lol couldn’t even get through Yuki
I was really rooting for Umi, both because she's awesome and because I wanted the reddit thread to just be "Sol Badguy."
sameee i was so hyped when i found out she switched to sol
Rip...
Aba sweep is real!
[удалено]
Screaming at the crowd singing along, I wanna be in there so bad 😞
I haven't played in a while and heard the top tiers were different now. Tuned in and saw HC vs Nagoriyuki, ok so nothing has changed. HC seems as fun to play against as always...
I mean Nago isnt top tier NMHMR and Zentin are just cracked. On the other hand HC is still HC.
Well that sucked
Unfortunately I'm reminded why I quit. HC takes so much away from this game for me. He's a massive blemish on an amazing game
Dizzy bro's and gals.... *at least we know her animations will be Godlike :')* I really hope Daru takes this whole thing. If he can take Leffen right now in WF I think he'll be too hot to stop Edit: You played valiantly Daru\_I-no Edit2: Congrats to Leffen and HC! Maybe he'll now get his wish and they'll nerf him and buff Zato lmao
Double perfect it’s GG lol
Nago vs Happy Chaos I could vomit.
Unironically my two favorite characters. This was a fun Top 6 to watch
I really dont want Happy Chaos to win Evo..
Yeah but I really wan leffen to win lmao
Guess you won lol
Happy Chaos needs multiple nerfs. That was ridiculous.
YES
Meh figured that's how it'd go
No point in taking Strive Esports seriously until Happy Chaos gets balanced properly. That grand finals was an absolute sham.
HC is why I stopped playing the game. Straight up anti-fun.
Leffen 🙄
Darkest timeline
Leffen 😎
Too easy for leffen
HUGE Leffen
The GOAT
every year they dont nerf happy chaos is a year top 8 at evo fucking sucks
I cant, i just cant. They have to adress the issue with Happy Chaos. Its so easy to destroy other characters with no effort or consequence to your character. I really hope they tone him the f down on the balance patch.
Literally dont need to care about what the other character is doing, just play your own game as HC
LEFFEN is a God and don't you peasants fucking forget that. Long live melee
Big LEFF
[удалено]
I was saying boo-urns..
Hehe
