Charles - like me - is a nerd of all flavors. But I have never met somebody in my personal life with a deeper appreciation for fighting games then this man. He's got all the games, the custom arcade sticks, the art books, the toys, everything. I had a fondness for fighting games, but his enthusiasm for them has been intoxicating. So when Capcom announced the release of Capcom Fighting Collection 2, we thought it would be fun to create a consensus top 10 list of our favorite fighters. Entirely subjective of course. But if you disagree you are wrong. 

It’s actually kind of wild—we’ve gone from being teased for liking this stuff to living in a world where there might actually be too much of it. I never thought I’d say, “Yeah, I’m a little burned out on Marvel,” but here we are.

This is where the influence of gaming heroes really clicked. I realized that while I might not be a superhero, I could still act like one. All those training montages and moral choices in games gave me a blueprint. So I leveled up my life.

What we are is a small, passionate team of lifelong gamers. People who are genuinely curious, honest, and excited about the gaming world — just like you. That independence gives us freedom: the freedom to react quickly, follow the stories that matter, and speak candidly without layers of corporate oversight.
