I don't even play fighting games but you are one of my favourite content creators on this platform. Amazing video
Seriously you Don't even have to be into FGs or the FGC to enjoy and appreciate Gerald's vids
Well keep in mind you don't have to be good to be in the community. Just coming out competing and supporting your locals is very much appreciated. If there was ever an FG you were interested in...why don't you give it another try or a first try if you have not already.
your gf is pretty hot
BUT IT'S A TOURNAMENT ARC
You can try it tho :))
Core-A Gaming: A place where you can learn about philosophy, sociology, and the FGC at the same time.
reNINTENDO I think it’s more psychology than philosophy but either way the layers of learning in these vids makes me feel smart after watching them
I can learn more from a Joe Rogan podcast.
Learned more psychology stuff here than my psychology class
Connections, baby! Those big thoughts that float around in dusty books at your library and in your textbook suddenly flair up, alive and meaningful, when they describe our Connections to each other in fricken fighting games.
Hail the Undying Seekers, our game gets better and our heads get smarter.
Where you get knowledge of all kinds shoryukened into your head.
"Indulgences were a pay-to-win mechanic that benefited wealthy scrub; I'm paraphrasing"
Made my morning xDDDDDDD
"The Catholic Church is wack."
10/10
"This went viral". Just hilarious.
Catch me in world history telling my professor this
In the newest Sidenote at this time (the inputs one), Gerald said this was the video he was most proud of but that it didn't do to well.
It sounded weird because I remembered it had this gold line.
I think the word for an excess of belongingness is conformity
Good point
@Goliath Online I'm noice-ing your "noice" because I want to belong in this comment thread.

Stay free.
Fancy seeing you here🤔
Destroy that fucking pillar Snowden.
I'm free... free on ranked...
CreepsMcPasta yo creeps! what do you play?
Thought you died
Me: Day is bad.
*Core-A uploads*
Me: Day is amazing so far.
This comment gives me good mental health and the experience of meaningfulness.
My thoughts when I saw my notifications
I felt this on an emotional level
Exactly. His videos are very refreshing.
Same tbh
I came from a long ass day of classes, seeing a new Core-A video in my sub box brought a smile back on my face
“Indulgence is a pay2win mechanic that benefitted wealthy scrubs.”
this’ll be my life tip.
sorry for the dislike, I just noticed I disliked it for a long time instead of like, sorry
I can never get into fighting games, but content like this is exactly why I sub and actively watch your channel.
Love your volthoom and the first green lanterns video
Yooooooooooooiouuuuu
Yo, no lie, no exaggeration, this is hands down one of the greatest videos you have ever made and I have watched them all multiple times because they are just so good. It’s thanks to you and others like you that I have become better at fighting games and life itself. Thanks for your hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, this is nice to hear.
Dang, I don't normally upvote comments, but you said exactly what I wanted to say, so I have to endorse it.
I had the pleasure of meeting him at Freeplay. Thanks for coming out and giving us love :)
@@DodderingOldMan same here, also, excellent taste in fighsticks Gerald!
"Stay free"
"Justin Wong is free"...
He did it
he kept being himself
the actual madman
By watching Core-A's videos, you are actively moving from the "visitors" bracket toward the "novice" bracket.
Yo, having a MASTERS in Clinical Psych, this is the BEST breakdown of Group and Social theory condensed into a understandable, entertaining, and informative video essay.
You are a LEGEND @Core-A Gaming for making this amazing insight into social group theory for the FGC.
Who ever made that thumbnail needs a raise.
I agree. Like a huge raise.
@@CoreAGaming You deserve it buddy. Also Thanks for giving us quality over quantity in your videos.
Knight Warrior I neither play nor watch fighting games. Who is the person in the thumbnail

@@Sansanmar Ah ok cool. I'll look him up. Thanks!
As a student taking western civ. I love your summary of the Protestant reformation.
Summary of the 95 Theses: The Catholic Church is wack
Check out the BBC podcast on the efforts of Martin Luther.
Reported for spam
2:32 So we're just gonna start using gamecube controllers with Melty Blood.
Interesting that you quoted C.S. Lewis on that. His point in talking about it was to show that we can't be fulfilled by that pursuit. He asserts it's fruitless.
I got that, too. Not only is pursuing the inner ring fruitless, but also dangerous... Like the Godfather, haha
anal
Ironic then that his whole life was devoted to fitting in among his fellow Christian scholars despite being a fantasy writer at heart
Context does not necessarily invalidate utility.
For someone who believes that pursuing community is worthwhile, conquering the fear of being an outsider is still relevant and supportive information, even if that information comes from someone against the concept of community.
...but yes, it is still an _interesting_ usage, which is worth pointing out. Thank you for doing so.
That Luther bit was 👌
My Lutheran friend is gonna snort his homebrew heifferweissen when he watches this.
Public Restrooms are, always have been, and always will be the Temple of Melty Blood Players. You could bring a setup into a random Walmart and soon it would become hoast to all the 5 Melty Blood players in your state.
People think its only public restrooms but their perception of history is totally wrong. If anything it shows Melty on PC being accessible allows it to have tourneys and top 8s anywhere the followers deem it be comfortable. Be it a local Burger King (next to a plug), the middle of a parking lot (one of the Frosty Faustings events had a fire alarm trigger so they had to take Melty there) and even a local park and using the outlet that the vending machine is on. If the small Melty band can do it, so can other players with their games available on a portable medium!
@@t4d0W Imagine the possibilities for Switch fighting games? Smash is obviously huge enough that a bathroom or Burger King might be too small unless the event is remote but I'm interested in how others can do given that Local Multiplayer is possible with a single system or multiple of them.
It is similarly untethered and reminds me of Monster Hunter gatherings that I've seen on 3DS and how some games don't actually need multiple copies of the game for multiple systems to play locally (Mario Kart DS and 7 are examples).
The Switch has USF2 and SF 30th Anniversary, those alone can bring out the FGC people.
@@thelastgogeta I doubt smash would bring out competitive people, because you need the dock to plug in a gamecube controller
@@knack3381 I was mainly talking about games which don't lean towards GameCube especially since Smash is too popular to need it (Ultimate is estimated to be the most popular at EVO right now and Melee will probably be no slouch as a side tourney) but competitive players could still use the Ultimate GameCube Adaptor: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pandahardware/ultimate-gamecube-adapter
1:23 that cat is going to drop that community beer at any second
I really like how Core-A-Gaming makes sociology a fun topic to listen to.
He tricks me into learning social science nooooo
YES A NEW CORE-A GAMING VIDEO IT'S BEEN SO LONG
10:49 as a Christian, let me just say that description of the Ninety-Five Theses got an honest chuckle out of me.
"I'm paraphrasing" lmaoooooooooo
Same
Same.
Hey its krdrive lol
Yeah, same. I had to laugh XD
"This little ones not worth the effort, come let me get you something" gotta love old Obi Wan Kenobi
Got spooked that you brought up the 2 different ken combos. Earlier today I was looking up Ken Masters kill combos, but a lot of the videos that popped up were of the smash guy.
Great video and editing 👏
Here I am watching my daily
Core-A Gaming
video and I see Anime Balls Deep in the comments?
Shit balls deep what a cross over
Gerald never change man your content is godlike
this video goes way beyond fighting games. great job.
You need to post more, I can only rewatch them so many times!
PhD thesis levels of analysis. You are so amazing at what you do.
100% naming my discord server “The Temple”
Your videos are so high quality man never cease to impress me
This is such a fantastic video. You've managed to draw parallels from so many elements of this narrow community to so many mainstream/historical things.
I literally can't get enough of these videos. I've watched them all so many times over. Never stop making them pls
super fantastic video as always, especially for a community where many members may or may not have the social skills to realize the social structure they're apart of
I use your videos as one of the guides for building my local FGC. They're very inspiring and really helped shape how we grow to this day. Thanks and keep it going, man!
2:17 I love the Makoto theme so much. Thank you for using it.
Damn, I love how real these video can get. I am so glad I found your channel. Some really high quality stuff here.
I rewatch your videos every few months. They are just too good. Got me into fighting games again.
I have watched many (many!) of your videos, but I find myself coming back to and thinking about this one the most, especially after what has happened this year. Thank you for making for one my favorite youtube videos of all time.
I just keep coming back to this video, and man, every time there's something new. Love it.
" grabs popcorn" hmm, another quality video
the amount of research on this is impressive.
As always. A very interesting video as you know how to make them.
Man I learn so much from this channel. It's crazy how much quality goes into all these videos
I absolutely love this channel, I've watched most of Gerald's videos multiple times now, and every time i feel that i can take away something new
*These videos are of upmost quality. Definitely my favorite channel on RUclips*
The Dillinger Escape Plan is my favorite metal band of all-time! When you said their name in this video and showed a short clip, I got very hyped.
Upon re-watching this video. I can confirm this one of favorite videos you have made. Please keep making more videos.
What a f*cking awesome video! Learned so much from this, really hoping you never stop doing these!
Great insight as always. Damn L'Orange isn't just some random.
Really cool of him to share some of his beats, he's a dope producer.
Your content is so god tier, it makes ST Akuma look fair.
Great stuff man
Still replay it from time to time.
One of the most insightful video essay in general that I've watched
You're videos are truely amazing, love all the hard work, the songs played, the references mixed together, it's always good stuff to watch!
absolutely amazing production value, man. Can't wait to see when you have 10x the subs you currently have.
Man Geralt, I really have to thank you a lot.
Since 4 weeks I was suffering from a horrible gastritis, and it was pushing me downwards mentally as well. So since I was stuck with laying in bed and watching stuff, I was browsing RUclips and eventually stumbled upon your analysis videos. They really brought me through this well!
Not only had I a good time watching these, but I just bought Tekken 7 and I'm genuinely enjoying it. Definitely a well-deserved sub! Thank you!
Excellent video, just recently found your channel and the quality is top notch.
so cool to finally meet you and chill with you at evo dude. thanks again for the bar fight tickets and these amazing videos. keep it up!
In 2019, Core-A's videos were a big influence for me to start getting into fighting games and attending local events. Texas Showdown 2022 was my first major offline FGC event I've attended. I had a great time and managed to place into top 8 of my game of choice.
While I'm still relatively new to the FGC, my experience with it has been very positive and I think as long as you enjoy playing fighting games then it's easier to contribute meaningfully to the community and be accepted than you might think. Thanks to Core-A for the great content and helping me find something that I love to do and a community I'm glad to be a part of.
I’d main Jeff Bezos in Tekken 7
His rage art? You get vicious paper cuts from the dollar bill tornado and then he puts you on minimum damage output.
Jeff bezos is so pay to win.
Bill gates is op.
Fuck you fight me!
@@Gep_05 pre patch bill gates was fucking stupid but after they nerfed his marriage I think he’s been pretty balanced.
Man your content is amazing! You deserve 1million subs man! Thank you!
Great research, depth, and editing work. You put together some high quality content. Keep up the great work Gerald.
You’ve earned your place in the community a thousand fold Core A
I dont even play fighting games, but this content is ALWAYS fascinating to me. I hope one day I can take on and master a fighting game, but till then, Imma just fill up on this sweet sweet content.
Did you pick a fighting game to start learning? If so, you should be pretty decent by now!
Pls join the cult-I mean community!
It's amazing how every single video you made is...THIS good. Like seriously. You have a serious talent, Gerald. Keep up the good work!
Incredible content as always. Every video you guys step your game up. THANK YOU! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Dude, your videos are always amazing.. after meeting you in Tokyo you said that you haven't been making videos recently because you said its hard for you to find content.. but i guess one video from you equals a LOT of videos from other channels that focuses on quantity to gain more audience.. you earned my respect from your videos, and more after meeting you in person. I'm so happy to meet you and i always tell my friends this story. Please keep it up and stay free :)
Back from the dead.
This is not only a great breakdown of gaming communities, but of societal communities as well. Fantastic editing too. Love this channel
Congrats on 200k! You really deserve it if not more! 👏🎉
I never even realized I was such a longtime FGC playing until I started watching these videos lol
You used Mega Man X music for like 30 seconds. That automatically makes this video amazing.
He uses this theme in other videos too. First Sigma fortress theme is one of the best of the franchise imo
In the whole franchise?? Eeeeeeh I don't know about that. But of course everyone can have an opinion. I like the 2nd Sigma Fortress Theme from X1 though(or at least the 2nd half of it), that and Sting Chameleon stage yassssss.
@@SpecialBeam interesting thing that sting chameleon stage theme is the one I less enjoy in the game. Doesn't mean it's bad, just taste and I respect yours easily.
Megaman x is the fucking shit dudes
Another wonderfully put together, thoughtful and throught-provoking video handling a subject I don't see anyone else handling in such a great way.
Thank you.
The writing and editing is so good. Feels like I'm watching a journal article or something.
WORTH THE WAIT
WOOOOOOOOOO
analysis: the need for deodorant
Took me a second but very topical and hilarious (well hilarious until you float your next tournament).
I'm glad marvel is dead because they smell fucking rounchy as fuck... Smash players take the trophy for nasty ass fucks.
No, change it to THE NEED FOR SHOWERS.
@@f1r3hunt3rz5 Word. Let's get the fundamentals down first. Frame traps can wait.
Yes I'd also like to see a video about Smash
Came back after 3 years just to say how much I love this video. Always puts a smile to my face after every watch. This might be my favorite core A gaming video ngl hahaha
Man your videos are a blessing! As a teenager trying to get into the FGC this is a great video!
I think the announcement for Pablo in Tekken 7 really drove a stake into the community
I'm not dissatisfied with this video but I also don't feel as though there was enough of a point for me to feel satiated...I guess I'm picking up that book now LOL. Well Played Gerald.
You rite though. Still good quality.
Amazing video and amazing channel. Thank you so much for what you do.
Dude, you're legit one of my favorite creators of all time. Every video is just so damn good and such high quality. I can't believe you don't have more subs.
Cult-A Gaming
When I think of quality content, I think of Core-A-Gaming.
I love when your videos apply to way more than just fighting games
Your videos are so amazing! I dont know how you only have 200,000 subs. You deserve the world thanks for the fantastic content!
KEN you be happier then happy?
Kami-sama uploaded.
Missed core-a gaming
Thank you for this video! Thank you very much for all your time and your work :)
I love how you can fit Makoto's theme into any segment of your videos and it makes them instantly amazing. Like 2:07.
Another "I'm not into fighting game, but HOLY SHIT THAT WAS GREAT" comment.
This video told about certain things about people and "rules" far far better than any college lecture or book ever could.
I'm commenting to fit in.
I just wanted to take a minute out of my day and say thank you for the quality videos. These analysis videos are so in depth and very interesting to watch. I love the editing, music, and little funny clips throughout your videos. I've been watching for roughly a year and I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and the work that you have produced. You are probably the sole reason why I have recently started playing more fighting games. Quite frankly you are one of the few RUclipsrs that I truly respect and care for. Please keep up the excellent work and I look forward for your future videos.
amazing video. i really do thank you man. this put a lot of things into perspective for me. made me feel a lot less down .definitely buying that book and its crazy that this video was about fighting games .
6 seasons and movie!!
>comparing SFV to western Christianity
I like it
Very well done video. As usual. Thanks Gerald!
Your vids are always a cut above the rest but this one was even more so. Its over used now, but I was taught something while being entertained. Please keep up the good work.
So........ Did anyone ever figured who or what that random black dude was that randomly came up on stage and confronted ChrisG ???
The Ghost of Mahvel 2
I have been rewinding that clip for 20 minutes trying to figure out what the hell is happening here.
@@CGoody564 He was an EVO audience member who jumped on stage to challenge the champion, moments after they won the tournament.
@@MikiziB He came into the venue wearing a shirt, and yet when they took him off stage there was no shirt on him.
He has a twitter going by the ghost of marvel if I recall well. Its cool dude
Love how you can make correlations between religion and video games and make both seem equal
We all want to belong somewhere and do what we love with other people.
The same principles apply to sports, anime fandoms, fetishists, animal lovers, film junkies, families, subreddits, school friends, etc.
Brilliant analysis. You have your own personality as well as a passion for the subject, simply amazing.
Brother you do good work. Thoughtful and super sources you have referred to. Keep up the good work man.
