FGC Philosophy
FGC Philosophy is about leveling up inside and outside the virtual arena. Learning from Fighting Games and the FGC as a whole we can grow together. As a competitive player, I strive to always improve and I want to share that knowledge with others. I also know that what you learn in one area of your life can be applied to other areas of life.

It's been a whole dam month but we're here. New episode, new year, new goals! Let's talk about that.
As of recording this, I had just gotten back from Chicago. I went to a "Major" fighting game tournament called Frosty Faustings. I didn't compete, but I went to train and socialize. In this episode, I share my experience and thoughts on the event, and future goals for myself and this podcast.

A few years ago Megamaxstar and I discussed the future of the FGC and Project L. For those who don't know Project L is the codename for the fighting game that Riot is making. Riot is the creator of League of Legends. Megamaxstar joins me once again to talk about the new updates to Project L that drop last week! We watch the video diary and discuss the future of fighting games.

Baldurs Gate has been out for a while now and I can't believe the discussion happening right now. Some are saying that this game is so good that we should NOT expect other developers to make games this good! I get into this topic, explain the general discussion and get into my own opinion.
Let's do this.

My journey to mastery on Street Fighter 6 has been a slow one, but not unproductive. In this episode, I reflect on my journey so far. I also discuss the specific goals I want to hit along my road to mastery. It's easy to forget that success is about the journey, not the destination. This series is helping me to stay humble and to work hard.
Here are my current Street Fighter 6 goals
- Improve my hit...
This week's episode discusses my early goals for Street Fighter 6. This is a shorter one but I plan to have some great follow-ups on this journey.
Thank you as always for your continued support!
Best,
Tavian "The Philocypher" Napier

It's been a long week but I've survived! This weekend I had to host back-to-back events on the same day, leading to a 12+ hour day! The first event is a grade school Rocket League tournament and an academy awards-eque event.

Hey all,
This episode is I'm taking time to reflect on my focus and dealing with Attention Deficit Disorder. I don't see ADD as some sort of "death sentence". Yes, it IS hard to focus at times, but I've learned over the years that I can improve my focus. I don't have to let ADD dictate what I'm doing or thinking at any given moment. I still have much more to speak on in the future, but for now, please enjoy this episode.
Thanks...

Been under the weather lately. When I recorded this I was still feeling horrible, but as I type these show notes I'm feeling words better!
