oh wow...just read the stuff with flash Metroid, I play him a few times in ranked as well. Mika has some derpy stuff, for sure, but so did a lot of characters. If you play Flux in a set you'll know he doesn't just rely on gimmicks to win matches, he's a fellow student of SF.
Man...I kinda looked up to anyone 'known" in the FGC a bit, and now I realize most of them are just a bunch of losers who happen to be good at a video game. What a piece of shit. Furthering my determination to stay as far away as possible from this toxic, juvenile, immature FGC.
I even hit Flash up multiple times asking for a set after a good ranked match because I wanted to play a solid Vega. No response from him or from Nuckledu. Damdai at least messaged me back and played a few sets with me b4, but most of these guys are corny. Overgrown adolescents too afraid to talk to women so they have to grope and harass the few they see in the FGC events.
Pathetic....

See, that's not fair. There's a lot of people who put in time and effort into building this community. Xian literally responses to everyone on Twitter, people like Mike Ross and Gootecks strive to keep shit together for even new players, James Chen is constantly retweeting even the smallest of combo videos and events, and people like Yipes and co. are amazing in and out of person.
I mean, they are all human beings. You get some in a group, and a select few are going to be assholes. That's like with literally everything and getting all general diminishes the work of the good ones.
And as for responses, like they probably get hundreds a day. With life and responsibilities, they aren't going to respond to literally every single one of them. I've met up with LI Joe, Ricki, KBrad, and Art, and a few others at PAX. They were nothing but nice. Valle and Xian talk to me on Twitter all the time.
Don't let some well known shitlord ruin it for you. We are all part of the FGC, even the people in NeoGAF. Obviously we aren't shitlords or mean, but we do have a few people who could stand to be less trollish. Does that make NeoGAF garbage then?
It just rubs me the wrong way to see people call the FGC toxic when it has, for the most part, been the opposite. I feel you on getting games from the pros, but you aren't the only one pinging them.
