EVERYONE IS CRYING ABOUT ZANGIEF! IS IS JUSTIFIED?

Zangief got buffs. And now, suddenly, everyone is complaining and crying about Zangief. What change made him so good? And are the complaints justified? Why is everyone so upset whenever Grapplers can fight? Why does everyone hate Grapplers so much?!? O_o

IS IT "SOFT" TO WANT TO WELCOME MORE PEOPLE INTO THE FGC?

The topic of wanting more FGC beef came up on Social Media, saying it was better in the "old days" and that the FGC has gotten too soft these days. But is that really true? Is the FGC soft? Was what happened in the past really the glory days? Or was it... like... not cool at all? James talks about it from his viewpoint!

NO ONE HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO PLAY ANY SETS. AT ALL.

Some drama erupted in the FGC (surprise...) when UMISHO made a couple of Tweets about palying sets with random people jumping into her DMs. It sparked a debate discussing what the responsibilities and expectations of top players are when it comes to playing newer players and giving them chances to fight against you. As usual, the topic is a lot more complex than people think. And James tackles it head on.

WITH ALL THAT'S SAID AND DONE, THE GAME IS REALLY IN A VERY GOOD PLACE BALANCE-WISE!

The way the balance has shaken out in Street Fighter 6 has turned out strong. Obviously some characters need help, but at the top level, the game has some strong parity between the top characters. Here's where James feels everyone has ended up!
