Day 03 - The Three Bending Teachers

Today Ben has had the pleasure of being joined by several guests who will repeatedly whoop his ass. Fun!

EVO starts Saturday, July 4th, and Ben totally forgot about that. Watch as he scrambles to learn a new game in time to not get blown the frick up.

Who are the guests? Are they fighting game pros or something? (I don't follow fighting games.)

@numaroth: One is a DBZ Fighterz pro player, the lady I think. And one of the dudes is an EVO commentator

@numaroth: All three of them are prominent players in the norcal fighting game scene and Ben and Dawn (Yohosie) are IRL friends I believe.

A bunch of popular fighters, and now NetherRealm have dropped out of EVO online due to allegations against one of the founders: https://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/29401066/sonicfox-not-competing-evo-amid-allegations-tournament-co-founder-joey-cuellar

I do like this as a holdover for Ranking of Fighters, and guests are almost always a good time, but I'll understand if Ben doesn't want to participate in the tournament.

Edit: Capcom now too.

Edit 2: Mane6, the dev for this game is now out as well.

Them's Fightin Herds seems to have bad luck. Every time their game is about to make a big debut, something happens to stop it.

Ben you should pivot this into a 365 day long feature for EVO 2021. Assuming that even happens.

Well that’s a bummer that Evo is (rightly)cancelled but I loved this feature maybe Ben could keep it going like PokeMonday Night Combat

I like this plan. Probably need to make it weekly instead of daily, but it would be cool if this feature could continue in some format. I was enjoying learning about fighting game techniques and looking forward to seeing how Ben would do in the tournament.

Ben working his way up from Junior Scientist to the kind that gets to wear a coat by actually learning about fighting mechanics could be a series in and of itself (at the risk of overlapping with Ranking of Fighters). Can't think of a clever name for it, though.

No, wait. "Mr. Karate Kid."

Would love to see this being an ongoing feature. Fighting games can be so inscrutable it’s interesting to see a discussion of the mechanics and tactics.
