#ReasonsToComeToSQXL Winning the "legendary" Lunar Legend Tsukihime DVD that @pineapplehour.com told me about in detail at Round 1.

Please come take this from my home, it haunts me in my dreams

Unfortunately powerlifting is *also* a hobby with little-to-no money in it, so I can't even joke about seeing a gap in the market.

I pretty regularly stumble into powerlifting discussions where people complain about high profile meets regularly having bad stream experiences (or no stream at all!) and I can only laugh at how normal streaming has gotten for fighting game events at literally every scale.

We're proud to announce SQ is part of TEAM ARC CREATORS! NC's biggest anime event will be even stronger with @arcsystemworks.com 🔥 Guilty Gear -Strive- is leading the pack with 77 entrants pre-registered! See us offline to enjoy anime fighting games together 🤝 #SQXL2026

I am fortunate enough to have a pretty overkill PC so Tokon running badly is workable, but getting 40 ping, 8 rollback frame connections because the other machine isn't running at 60 FPS is brutal.

By the Way: 60 Days left to sign up for Mystery. We are currently at 42/64 There won't be a 2nd extension after we hit 64

Current Tōkon thoughts: gameplay is fun, although I think the stage transitions triggering off of throws hurts the pace of gameplay a lot. Training mode could use a frame bar but is otherwise pretty feature rich. Connections have been a mixed bag though.

Blending motion inputs with simple inputs is maybe the worst modern FG trend for this reason. Please pick a lane when designing a game.

We need to stop fighting game devs from making overloaded control layouts. Tōkon does not need to be a nine button game 😭

Boot up the Tōkon beta, immediately have a saturated CPU + the game doesn't recognize my leverless. Off to a hot start here, Sony.

Training mode and combo trials being obnoxiously obtuse to interact with are baffling.

Launch Avatar reminds me a whole lot of launch SFV, just with the addition of a massive number of baffling UX decisions.

Last year, we reached this milestone with less than 30 days left to register. Today, we're here with just under 60. There's a lot of hungry anime players out there.

With just under 60 days left to register, #SQXL2026 has surpassed 200 competitors! The team is working hard to welcome you back to Durham, North Carolina for an even bigger show this year. Don't be late to crossing fates!

The next issue of WARRING TRIAD is ready! Registration is live for our Anime FGC local in Greensboro, North Carolina 🤘 📅 Sunday 8/9 🕹️ #AvatarFighters #MARVELTokon #MBAACC #UNI2 #VSAV 📍 @wickedrealitygg.bsky.social ➡️ start.gg/warringtriad21 🎨 crab #WarringTriadGSO

How do you rip off one of the worst fighting game titles in recent memory and make it so much worse in the process?

Don't forget to tune in to the group stage of Valiant's Road To The Top, where these fantastic players will be fighting it out for a playoff berth and the opportunity to play for a free pass and entry to Guilty Gear Strive at SQXL! Stream link below!

I'm really proud of what we put together, from the merch itself to the awesome announcement video. The more long-term goal of making sponsorships sustainable may not be met by this particular release structure, but I think the lessons we learned are very valuable.

The SQ x ID merch fundraiser has come to a close, so I wrote up a summary of how it went and what we learned from the experience: pineapplehour.com/subsidizing-...
