In the background (with a vivid light filter and a light blue overlay), Jackie Sparkles wears a ushanka. Over him is hot pink text reading the following:

Hard to imagine someone who wants the game to succeed saying something like that. I think the scenes for all the other games you are interested in will be lucky to benefit from the work you do next year.

I usually think of CT as being part of new england (in general, not related to fighting games), and based on a little bit of research it seems like that is usually the consensus. Also the logo for the site includes them haha. In terms of FGC, they do feel like a distinct but related scene

There's also a lot of stuff in Connecticut that isn't included here at all, but idk if they should be included in NE for our purposes (and just in general this site is better at including most stuff in ma than other states)

I think you could link me for "retro" brackets and maybe tamn for snk stuff. In general, it seems rally hard to keep the calendar up to date so I'm not sure how much utility it has vs a list of things that happen regularly together with links to see the details about those events.

I'm absurdly lucky to be in the situation I'm in, but I'm pretty happy with the balance I've struck. One week a month of 3s and then the rest of the time getting into something new (+ sms and mbaacc occasionally). A month feels like enough to get a feel for the game while still keeping it fresh.

A top 3 picture for Melty Blood: Type Lumina.
OmniRabbit is on the left, pensively chewing the remains of a snickers bar, or at least miming it through his mask.
Nathan is in the center, standing proud.
Winters is on the right, giving a peace sign.
