Momochi, competitive SFV player, to receive only a part of the prize due to Japan's gambling laws

Seems like eSports is truly a blowup, huh? At least it is so as far as the FGC is concerned.

>expecting jews to not ruin anything involving money

I mean, eSports can also come with benefits. Everytime I look at the MOBA community I see lots of advantages despite the cons that are typical of going eSports. Production value is immense compared to the FGC and even the actual games reflect that.
"eSports" in the FGC just means for third parties to step in, remove any sort of community effort so that they can get money on their own and make the "C" out of "FGC" not really the same.
All of this while the overall scene is still very poverty and the games are still lackluster in terms of polish and QoL stuff that are required for eSports games.

Why would anybody give a shit about anything the jews bring to the "community"(in reality it's only a few players)? Esports has directly resulted in less games being run in tournaments and more drama. The FGC has really gone to shit in the past 2 years.

You can't accept more than ¥100,000 prize money because above that figure qualifies as unauthorized gambling... unless you're a member of the Japanese eSports Union.

>Why would anybody give a shit about anything the jews bring to the "community"(in reality it's only a few players)?
You should ask investors and higher-ups.

>you should ask the jews

>implying sleep fighter 5 isnt actually gambling

Explain to me how fair competition is gambling

Japan being Japan, that's why

>entering a competition whose candidates rely on skill and game knowledge, not luck, to win
>gambling
Sounds like complete horseshit to force you to join JeSU.

Its only not gambling if the players are registered as pros, them it is a sport.

But Momochi didn't like how those licences were being distributed based on skill and results alone, because that meant people like his wife, who is dedicated to the FGC but isn't skilled enough to be a pro, would never get a licence.

Japanese boomers think video games play themselves

Aww, he's only getting $46,000 :(
BOO FUCKING HOO HE'S ONLY GETTING PAID 46 THOUSAND DOLLARS AFTER PLAYING VIDEOGAMES WHAT A TRAGEDY

SOMEONE CALL THE NEWS, SOMEONE RIOT IN FRONT OF THE GOVERNMENT WE NEED TO FIX THIS NEW WORLD ORDER

Gaming branch of the Yakuza

instead of winning 50k dollars he only got 1k, OP is really bad at math.

That's hella gay. Fuck Japan.

It's more than that.
He's not happy that third parties are getting into the way of the community and pretty much stealing their effort at growing. We (at least in the US) had a bit of that with the eLeague drama.

Is he still dating Chocoblanka?

They're married.

It's not, which is why they're allowed to do this in the first place. These laws are designed to keep collusion from happening. At least that's what they claim.

Japan also just had a tax increase apparently

All fighting games are pretty much kinda gambling too. Making a read doesn't mean your read had a 100% chance of being true, it's just an educated guess based on your opponent's conditioning during the match and where he is at the stage. Even if I make the read (educated guess) that this pro player will not DP on wakeup because that's a scrub habit, he could still end up doing it because he's reading me too. You can't 100% tell that this player will do this move or do that, it's just a series of guesses. And whoever guesses the most in each round wins.

You could say the same thing for any sport, user, but they're not considered gambling unless you're part of some silly organization.

8% to 10%
Same reason why the phrase "The jews fear the samurai exist"

For you to get knocked down, you need to get hit while in neutral.
Momochi's performance in yesterday's tournament was remarkable because he would almost always win the neutral game. And neutral in fighting games is akim to fencing.

You're gambling on whether you choose better option selects than the opponent. At least for SFV
Also Momochi's a gamble himself. Fades out of relevance for years, then towards the end of the game's life, he shows up, wrecks for a year, then fades out again.

do japanese boomers just think all video games are pachinko or something?

Despite the japanese videogame industry being the most important one in the whole globe, Japan is still ultimately a very conservative country.

>E sports union
Why

Easy money for the suits involved.

That's called taking risks, and it's part of every game that's not been mathematically solved

I feel like this is the bigger issue and not what is getting at

only asian esports is bad making them to buy some shitty license for small chance to win tourneys

Yeah the law is dumb, but if you want to pay rent this month fucking sign up for the union. I don't fucking get these people.
>Hey you've gotta sign up with us to get money
>Why? That's dumb
>It's just the way things work
>Well fuck that
>Okay, but if you don't sign up you can't get major prize money if you win
>DUUUDE WHAT THE FUCK HE WON BUT HE WON'T GET THE PRIZE MONEY??? WHAT THE FUUUUUCK?!!!!!
Who gives a fuck how dumb the law is? You want the money, jump when the government/union says jump.

>>DUUUDE WHAT THE FUCK HE WON BUT HE WON'T GET THE PRIZE MONEY??? WHAT THE FUUUUUCK?!!!!!
Well, that's the reaction we have, not him. Maybe he's fine with not getting the entire bread, if that means sticking to his principles.

FGC will always be better than fucking e-sports.
