FGC Goat debate is funny cause no one talks about the real stuff.

1st: The discourse is too lenient on their evaluations.

Things that ACTUALLY matter:

– Quality level of competition

(Who plays your game? Is it filled with storied players?)

Someone winning in a game with multiple world champions also trying to be the best is different than someone winning a game where there isn’t.

– Ease of Win condition

(Is all you have to do is get one hit then touch of death/setplay?)

(Does the game allow for cerebral gameplay by giving you a lot of options to evolve the meta with?)

– Do they meet every official challenge?

(You can’t be the GOAT by ducking. MJ and Kobe never did)

– Being a Multi Game Champion is overhyped. The competition quality isn’t the same in every game.

Example: IMO the deepest competition pool in the past and today have always been the most stacked in Street Fighter, Fatal Fury/KOF, Tekken, Virtua Fighter.

These games are much more storied competition wise than anything else.

Being a MULTI GAME CHAMPION in those games is most impressive. Use this as your guideline.

Entering a bunch of games and winning vs competition that don’t match the above doesn’t matter in my opinion in the grand scheme of things. It sounds good though.

I also see this discourse that you “have to keep playing” or you fall off the rankings.

Michael Jordan has to keep playing in the NBA to not fall off the rankings?? What is this nonsense? No.

Join me on stream today. Fatal Fury ranked to simulate the ft2 tournament standard and got sets planned with some top tier comp that placed in the top 100 at EVO in Fatal Fury. Also at some point I will learn more Sagat in SF6 and playing Art of Fighting 3 too.
