How a Hole in the Wall Birthed FGC Legends | Chinatown Fair Arcade

► Love the FGC? You won't want to miss Red Bull Kumite in Las Vegas: https://win.gs/3v6wWuY Often, legendary stories begin in humble places. The story of the East Coast fighting game community is no different — and it all begins with Chinatown Fair. Chinatown Fair was a true hole-in-the-wall, a dingy, understated arcade that served as the home base for a burgeoning community of players who would help define the fighting game scene not just in New York, but around the United States. Despite its crowded arcade floor and an unmistakable smell, this simple arcade turned into a proving ground for players who would become EVO champions, making a mark on the New York City scene and the American FGC at large. From Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike to TEKKEN, Soulcalibur, The King of Fighters, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 and 3 and the spark that was Street Fighter IV, Chinatown Fair was a go-to for lovers of fighting games from all backgrounds, with subway lines bringing players from all across the city — and the world — to Manhattan. We sat down with iconic players and community leaders who were there to experience it all — Joe "LI Joe" Ciaramelli, Arturo "Sabin" Sanchez, Josh "NerdJosh" Jodoin and Chris "Kreymore" Landon — to learn more about the legendary Chinatown Fair arcade. Dive in to hear their stories about the beloved venue, from its unique environment to the rise of standout players like EVO 2009 Marvel vs. Capcom 2 champ Sanford Kelly, EVO 2007 MVC2 champion Michael "Yipes" Mendoza and 9-time EVO champion Justin "JWong" Wong. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is Red Bull Gaming; your digital source for the latest news, tournament coverage, interviews, video features, and broadcasts for the Red Bull competitive gaming family.
