Welcome to the PAX East 2013 Fighting Game Community events blog.

Divekick and the Lang Zone

Divekick is confirmed for PAX East, it's listed on the PAX East under Dave Lang's Iron Galaxy, which is in the top-left corner of the Exhibitor Hall.

With the recent trailer released showcasing new graphics, UI and gameplay additions, It'll be very interesting to see what new gameplay changes are found by players there.

And of course if you missed it check out the

new trailer that Jeff put up last night

Fighting Game Community Panel

MarkMan, Gootecks and James Chen, three big names in the FGC will be hosting this panel on Saturday at 5PM in the Arachnid Theatre.

As the growth in competitive gaming and eSports rises, one community is primed and ready for the spotlight: the fighting game community. Influenced largely by the success of games like Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the fighting game community has grown into a cottage industry with members planning and organizing their own events, content producers streaming live and on-demand footage and prominent members getting hired by major developers based on their accomplishments in the community.

Join community leaders for a discussion about the current state of the FGC and its major events and projects, as well as the what the future may hold for the growth of the community.

This seems like an interesting panel to attend, hopefully it'll be recorded in some capacity so that I can watch it too.

Next Monday: Final Round XVI Preview and FGC News!

I'm super pumped to play Divekick. Game of the show 2013 for sure. #ESPORTS

The other stuff is just a distraction from Divekick.

@morbid_coffee: Have fun, see what new gameplay you can find in it!

Wish I could go to pax. I want to play Divkick too!

Just a small update, Divekick will also be at Mad Catz Unveiled on Thursday, which hopefully means that Spooky will be able to stream it.
