If there’s anything that we know how to do in the Fighting Game Community, it’s have a good time.

Finally, ShadeMoneh posts a truly special cinematic representation of a sad experience that many of us have surely had:

This is part of the joy of the FGC: no matter which games we play or how far we get in a bracket, we can always share a laugh. If you see any memes that you particularly enjoy, send them to us via our contact page or @toptiergg. In the meantime, show your support by following Yohosie, Grey-Fox, Dunkey, and ShadeMoneh (and me!) on their respective platforms.
