The Fighters Generation webmaster Frank Yagami is counting down his top 10 fighting games

For 15 years, The Fighters Generation has been known for its in-depth reviews of any and all fighting games to hit the market. As part of his new Fighters_Gen vlog, the webmaster Frank Yagami has decided to count down his top 10 fighting games–in no particular order–over the course of 10 separate videos. Being a self-described “’80s kid,” the games on this list are titles he grew up playing in the arcade, and come with a lot of personal stories of his experiences, as he describes his love of the various mechanics, characters, and sound and art style.

His first two entries on the list are Samurai Shodown II, which he first played at a local arcade when he was 12 years old, and Street Fighter Alpha 3. These videos are a great watch for anyone looking to relive some old memories, or to gain some insight into a longtime member of the fighting game community. He also encourages viewers to share their own top 10 favorite fighting games in the comments!

Joe Higashi dosen’t need stun combos! Playergodaines shows off Joe’s high damage in The King of Fighters XIV

Recently playergodaines showed us the potential of Tung Fu Rue, and demonstrated a situational stun combo with him on King of Dinosaurs. That was a surprise, but stun combos for Muay Thai practitioner Joe Higashi are not. They’ve been with the character for multiple games now, to the point they have overshadowed the character’s built-in potential without them.

Playergodaines wanted to counter this perception. In the description he mentions that he wanted to show “how (Joe) does above-average damage without relying on difficult stun combos.” The result of this work is stylish, informative, and above all else, practical!

[Editor’s note: as this video immediately preceded the new version 2.0 balance patch, some of the tech may work slightly differently in the game’s new build.]
