A year more into that life, does it hold true? Yeah, it's just less stressful. If you're just strictly a pro player, you're kind of forced to make sure you always have to win or make top 3. You have to go to every event and live on the plane. So it gets pretty stressful just from a mental standpoint and a physical standpoint with changing time zones and everything.
But when it comes down to it, from a gaming content creator perspective, I like the fact that it's another option for a lot of people to get into.
When it comes down to people getting into gaming, I would say it's harder to become a pro player compared to a gaming content creator, just because your creative freedom is what you need to create content and grind. While grinding does make you better at the actual game, I think from a competitive standpoint it's a lot harder to stay consistent and get on that level of making top 3 every single time to make money or win a prize pool.
Also, FGC prize pools are very low. So when you come down to it, just from a monetary standpoint, I would say gaming content creators have it much better. Just because Twitch and YouTube are such nice platforms to stay consistent and grind to make some money. When you stream on Twitch, it's pretty awesome.
You don't need 10, live viewers. You could have your own small community and that community is gonna support you with subscriptions and donations. Then, you can also take that content and post it on YouTube and try to build a fan base as well. So you're really having so much more time to just be comfortable and play the games you want to play. With the competitive grind in mind, how are FGC players able to do it for so long?
In a game like League of Legends, it's impressive seeing someone compete for five years or more. You and Daigo have been doing it for 20! Not only that, instead of adapting to patches, you're adapting to whole new games.
And you have to travel constantly. How is this possible? One reason why FGC competitors can stay so consistent, even regardless of age, is I would say our player base is still pretty small.
When you compare FGC to other esports games like League of Legends, there are so many more competitors that are trying to get to that diamond platform or get scouted out an LCS team. So that's one. Two, I would say from the FGC side, we have a history of over 30 years. I think the first competition for Street Fighter was in , maybe earlier. All that history carries over to other players, and some have been playing forever.
Daigo has been playing before me. Alex Valle also has been playing before me. And when it comes down to a new fighting game, anytime a new one is out, it just carries over. They're just really good at understanding how to play a new fighting game. That's another reason why we stay on top.
If you look at Japan, the majority of the top players there at the moment are more older players versus younger players. I think it's one of those things where you can keep playing fighting games for a really long time. Even 20 years from now I would still probably be pressing buttons.
And I think I would probably still beat a lot of players 20 years from now. One rising player that causes a bit of divisiveness is SonicFox.
A lot of people are hyping them up to be one of the most legendary players in FGC history, while others see them competing in too weak of games. Do you think the criticism towards SonicFox is warranted, and do you think they're on the trajectory to be a player spoken of the same way people speak of you, Alex, or Daigo?
SonicFox is godlike. Just because SonicFox started so young and has played so many different games already. I think that my first interaction with SonicFox was like I played Sonic in Killer Instinct. And it was the first round of a tournament. And Sonic was really good. I was playing KI, and I think Sonic was just dabbling into it.
But I was really surprised how good Sonic was. So Sonic's been playing in FGC tournaments for a long time, like eight years now, maybe more. So I do think that Sonic's gonna keep winning more tournaments and doing really darn amazing things. And even though people say Sonic only wins in those games — Sonic did win an EVO for Dragon Ball FighterZ, which was pretty darn huge, because everyone thought that Japan would win that game free. And the grand finals were Sonic and GO1, where Sonic clutched out.
So I think that all the people that say, "Oh, you can only win smaller-base games" I think this is more that people don't like to see consistent winners and want more different variety. Which is fair, it's always fair. When I was growing up and I played in all these tournaments, I kept winning. I had haters all day, I had haters all the time that wanted me to lose. Even people from my arcade wanted me to lose.

User Info: deesteelz1. Justin just started to loosen up. He use to be like daigo, all calm and stuff. He just recently started getting hype and ppl have problem with that cause he can back it up wit no problem.
That's all. User Info: USF. Justin is a moron that's why. The second he lost to Daigo at Gamestop's tourney, the first thing he said: "Oh why was he here anyway? We all know how that went this weekend, he had 2 shots with both of his "counter" characters and he still got a foot shoved down his throat. There is a thin line between trash talking for hype and complete disrespect and jackassery not even a word I know , and Justin crossed it a long time ago.
