“People Just View Me as Another Player”: Sherry Jenix Talks to Yahoo! Esports about Confidence in the FGC

Sherry “Sherry Jenix” Nhan of Gamester Gear is one of the best female players in Street Fighter. Starting out as a C. Viper player in Street Fighter IV and transitioning to Necalli in Street Fighter V, she is constantly on the move to the events, grinding out her understanding of the game the hard way. Being a woman in a predominantly man’s world does not make her road easy, but it is obviously one that she knows how to handle.

When she sat down to talk to Yahoo! Esports, she talks about the need for confidence–especially for women–in playing. She also talks about the struggles that females face when entering the scene, as well as the difference she sees in perspectives between the offline and online scenes when dealing with her, and how she handles the inherent drama thrown her way by the FGC.
