Rickmuladrip has nothing to do with RIZE anymore. We took a chance on him as someone who claimed to be passionate about improving on our development path.
Unfortunately he was on his last chance by yesterday & following more outbursts we can't have this toxicity within our team.
Extremely sad to hear that a member of the Tekken community "Fuhito" has taken his life.
Remember many people are going through things you may not be aware of, be kind.
Gaming is a privilege and not a war ground.
Also, If you need to talk, I'll always listen.
We've been looking at lesser known games recently and the Lethal League Blaze in particular is doing work for their respective scene. The game is crazy, on the surface it looks like a Dodgeball Smash Bros with Jet Set Radio chars but it's much deeper than that, try it out!
I feel like Fightcade 2 is MASSIVELY under-looked right now.
I'm able to play games like Rival Schools 2 (PJ), VF4FT plus unreleased Naomi based FGs with rollback.🤯
This opens up a world of possibilities, not only for Virtua Fighter on PC, but also in theory:
- Soul Calibur 2 HD Online
- Soul Calibur 5
- Tekken 5
- Tekken Tag 2
- Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate
- Darkstalkers Resurrection
+ More
New era cards are stylized similarly to the title cards on the VF5US Launch trailer. Of course the leading and tracking is slightly different, the type foundry could also be different, but the aesthetic is very much in line.
Is this a clue towards VF6? Could be a reach.
Can you actually believe that a while ago people actually told me that
@RichieAO_
wasn't deserving of his sponsorship because he's hadn't been offline yet?
Look at this man, look at what he is doing for the UK and
@RizeGamingPro
!
Massive growth and nothing makes me prouder 💚
Thinking of the names that Richie has taken this weekend I am not sure if that's the best single run we've ever had in RIZE? Like the names on that list are silly.
Good news, I've managed to secure a UK Event space that will allow for a VF Tournament to run along side Tekken in the new couple of months. Full details to follow in the next couple of weeks.
"Eminor? That Orange rank Eliza?"
"Dante? He's never got Top8"
"Chickenmaru? He will struggle offline."
"imortalXsoul? Theres better options imo"
"AyoRichie? Isn't he mainly a streamer?"
All real quotes.
Don't Doubt The Scout. Proud of how we do it.
I don't know if I've ever said this on twitter but running
@RizeGamingPro
isn't like running "a business" to me.
I do it out of passion and seeing people grow. Seeing communities grow.
Seeing people believe in themselves and believe in their hard work.
That's why I do this.
Just an update on my health to those interested:
I'm doing better, I've got a stomach infection I am on antibiotics for but they seem to be working - and hopefully not at risk of blood infection.
My liver function is low because of the infection which is why I felt so bad [1/2]
I'm happy to confirm
@BlankaLDN
is now part of the
@RizeGamingPro
management team, and will be working on an array of our projects as part of his studies 🔥🙏
Sometimes, you just don't know what people are going through during these times - and dropping a follow or chatting with a small streamer who is just doing it for the company or interaction, can really make their day.
I can't speak for others, but that makes me feel good 😊
You've heard of the Korean Backdash.

The good thing about this is, if you can't quite get the hang of it, then that's ok because it's totally useless.
Home.
I couldn't stay for tomorrow unfortunately but I've had a really great time once again at this amazing event.
As ever I've loved all of your company, seeing old & new faces.
Our players did themselves proud and I'll do a sep tweet on my thoughts soon.
Enjoy tomorrow 💚

IMAGINE cheating and still losing games 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Wait, do you think you could beat even me without your cheats? I don't.
If I cheated like you I wouldn't lose a single round, it's so cringe you regularly lose 😂😂😂😂😭😭
Well guys it's been a pleasure spending the weekend with you all again, you're the best community I've been apart of.
Thanks everyone who supported us and helped run VF5, especially
@justinxavier21
for making it possible.
Sorry if I didn't get to say bye in person. Next time.
Around a year ago
@ChickenmaruTK
told me he was retiring, whilst known as one of the best players in Europe. It was something I tried to prevent and encouraged him to push even further.
Well its with a heavy heart today the day finally came when the retirement becomes reality.
This article I wrote holds a little more weight now, given the context around healthy industry competition to 3D fighters.
No competition == Less pressure.
Back from my long weekend holiday and feeling refreshed!
Can't tell you how much I needed a break - I may be tired from all the walking but I'm mentally fresher! 🙏
People confuse good player with good person a lot don't they?
I don't vibe with people who dismiss other because they're bad at a game, or hang off every word of someone's opinion on real life situations - purely because they are good at a game.
Test print 2 is 🔥 the colors pop way more. This in a very bright room so the green isn't as luminous as it seems on the second picture, but enough.
Dropping soon!
Just for perspective, I run two small businesses, I'm a full time Web Developer & Graphic Designer, not to mention family, friends, personal space, I try to fit in.
One of my biggest anxieties is people thinking "he's ignoring me" based on how busy I am. Please understand 🙏
This means so much to us as a team, we've been pushing for this & had some amazing moments along the way.
The whole team of players feel lifted from this today,
@Chickenmaru
can be extremely proud.
@DanteTekken
was incredible today & he will know how to push on from this.

Dante played exceptionally well also, reaching 3rd place!
Here is how it went down:

Big thank you the Irish scene for giving both an electric atmosphere⚡️
#WeRize
Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this a memorable showcase of what kind of entertainment T7 can bring!
We laid out a gauntlet-style bracket that saw hype matches leading to an epic finale.
1/3
I put so much into all of this, I put aside mental health, physical wellbeing and other commitments.
Yet in truth it's probably one of the most thankless things I've ever done, and it's emotionally draining.
I came from comp scenes that didn't have ranked modes. You were rated by scrims & actual results.
This fascination with your Rank, is the reason why everyone runs, so many boost & too many cheat. We've made it about an icon on your screen not what you actually do in the game.
@Fergus_TK
I feel like Paul especially. Bring back Tekken 2 attitude era Paul, could have been so explosive and had new moves to spice him up but he's so painfully boring.
We're super happy to welcome aboard literally the man of many things
@EmeryReigns
💪
He has worked with us previously on our DOA series and his wealth of content across a variety of games and discussions is a perfect fit in ambition and legacy in our next chapter.
Creator, Social Media Star, World Championship Commentator, Elite Competitor...
Please give a huge welcome to the man of many talents and our latest addition to the team;
@EmeryReigns

Keep your eyes peeled for more on this soon!

Insanely proud of this guy. Nobody has gone to EVO in their second international and gone this far. The scene in general can be so proud, two years ago we were celebrating Top64s and Top48s for European competitors, now we're pushing into pixel differences for Top16s. At EVO man.

In only his second international appearance our hero defeated bracket veterans & gatekeepers alike, with further progress only a coin flip away!

@RichieAO_
done me so proud today already. I love it when I believe in someone's ability and they go and prove it. Great feeling.
We've got a history of giving upcoming players a chance and long may that reign.
Thanks to the people who have sent their best wishes to me whilst not being well. Really is an eye opener to see who has concern and who doesn't.
I appreciate you.
Also well done to

Brian went on to win this one!
Pause.
This guy may not understand about this industry is that it's not a white collar deal. I'm a regular gamer who is happy to tell you to fuck off...
You're being a whining little bitch and have ruined your own opportunities by basically attacking us for not picking you up.
@EXGaiden
tried to belittle me earlier because I called out
@RizeGamingPro
for not reaching out about my application i submitted over a month ago. Then tried to flip it around, saying I never applied and removed my comments on the Tweet. SEVERELY UNPROFESSIONAL your manager SUCKS
So my first international event since lockdown is over.
I've had such a great time. I've visited Malta many times but never for an FGC event, it was just an amazing experience to combine a country I love with the community I love 👊🇲🇹
My new year's resolution is to keep on doing what I am doing, striving for better in everything I do and supporting those around me with that same mindset.
Thank you all, it's been a great year and you guys have played a huge part in keeping our passion alive.
The rest of the team and I hope you all enjoy your time with your family and friends 💚
See you in 2020!
It's been an honor. Our name symbolises what were about - transformation, growth, stories.
We're proud of his journey and we're now ready to take on the next phase of our own story, with some very exciting players, and new games to await.
