Ryan "FChamp" Ramirez: "How I won EVO 2012," Mindset, & Trash Talk in the FGC | Talking with T #2 

The discussion around 34:59 resonated with me so much because that's me. I'm 33. I love fighting games but life is so busy it's not possible for me to grind. Hearing what Chris and Fchamp discuss regarding that topic in particular was so valuable for me. This is the podcast and content that the FGC needs! Keep up the great work Chris!

I'm a professional musician. I can't play street fighter to save my life...I play tekken with my father in law for fun, (he always be talkin trash lol). These interviews even help in my line of work honestly, the mentality you talk about when competing in tournaments is the same mindset we use when touring and playing on world class stages. Always had a lot of respect for you Chris T, love these interviews! Much love!

always give fighting game podcasts a chance but they never suck me in. This was fantastic, clearly thought out the topics ahead of time, really loved it. Appreciate that you did not let the conversation feel like two people i don't know catching up, felt well directed and really interested me. GREAT JOB KEEP IT UP

Good thing You fixed the audio man. Like the content btw❤

bro when you discuss the part of being able to hit 2k MR even when your a working man with a family I had to hear that. More determined then ever ! 🙏 thanks for these podcasts Chris just awesome

Enjoyed seeing your personality come through in this episode. Felt like you were holding back a bit during the Ryan Hart interview. The voice will come with time and i'm looking forward to seeing it.

This was great - thank you Chris and Ryan

Loving this series of chats with pros and legends

Fantastic interview once again. You use your words in a thoughtful way. Having the deep voice also helps ofcourse. Great choice of guests, they always have interesting things to say. When I get tilted losing on ranked I put this on to find my calm and inner peace. Got to master with these interviews playing in the background. Bless you for doing this 🙏🏻

Another gem. Thank you

Two of the best minds in the FGC by far. Love these videos Chris, keep at this if you can man.

This dude deserves to be unbanned from capcom tournaments

Dope episode Chris, always love hearing Ryan's thoughts and breakdown

That deep T voice though

Nice. FChamp is THAT dude. Great content. Keep it up Chris T!

I was waiting for this

Awesome episode, this interview was fantastic. Just great to hear from one of the GOATs. I also enjoyed how he touched on the focus and dedication it takes to compete in these fighting games. That subject was a eye opener for me personally because I feel I can get to some of the highest levels of play but the way my life is structured now( wife & kids) opposed to before them, I need to adjust my expectations and it’s ok to do that. Still looking to compete but with very little time to train and play like before set more realistic goals and reach those goals. Really appreciate this episode 🙏 unbanning FChamp would be awesome as well 🤘💯

Can you ask a event organiser to . For fgc event . I think is a good insite to understand how it works to organise a event.

This was a really good conversation. Love hearing these topics being discussed and how top players are getting to the top. Tournament talk, stories. I love it all man. You're doing great work here. You're like the tim ferriss of the fgc

Ive always enjoyed Fchamp, he was always raw

Excellent series you're working on. Nice to see stronger mindsets being encouraged.

First name i mentioned and u got him on episode 2 i love that! Good shit C keep up the great content!

drip and audio on a 100 on this one.

LET HIM PLAY LET HIM PLAY LET HIM PLAY!!!!! LESSSSGOOOOOOOOOOO FCHAMP

Woo, this is gonna be good.

Very interesting talk, thanks guys.

Fchamp is a Norcal legend man, yeah he gets verbal. But it’s all a part of the ‘mind’ games. major respect to both Fchamp and T

God i love Fchamp

Great video, LETS GO NORCAL

Yo, this is amazing

Great content brotha !

Don't get fooled by the story at 18-19mins, this guy still plays 12+ hours a day at times 😂 An absolute legend. Unban now!

Great podcast man. Stick with it.

I believe Sako is the only player, with children, to win a major tournament. He won a TGS with Menat after she came out. Not sure if that counts.

Great discussion. Would you be sharing your lab sessions with Ryan?

IMO the best Sim player is Mister Crimson...

54:19 you can see how done he is with all the corneyness lool

I am not a competitor in the FGC, but play some on the side and watch tourneys and appriciate the talent I agree that much of the current day drama and beef seems theatrical and made up....and childish. I do not understand Twitter beef at all and don't understand the need to publicly vent every single emotion online. Then again, I am in my 40's so i see a great deal of immaturity within the fgc that makes many of the talented players quite off putting . I guess I should just chalk it up to not being the primary target audience.

Very good.

Get Lee Chung on the show!

Fire!!!!!

I don't know. Probably i didnt get the "fgc is become more a meme community" part because i dont see it as problem

Free champ and infil!

40:03 every single evo champion didn’t have kids when they won. Shit cuts deep. Guess I’m playing this game for fun 😅

Hope you guys win sf league at capcom 🍵

I haven’t watched all of this video yet. Up to the 39min mark but I kind of disagree a little bit. I think that since the games are technically more ‘simple’ than prior games like SF4, and more information and players are more accessible via internet and online play with good NetCode, doesn’t it therefore follow that a person who puts in less time actually has a greater chance of winning than in the past? Consider that due the game getting more ‘simple’, there is going to be more variance in gameplay. So technically, if you go to a tournament, and you have played consistently for 2 to 4 hrs per day, I’m thinking that you have a better chance of winning in say SF6 than games back in the day like SF4. The distinction to be made is the difference between a ‘consistently winning’ player vs a person who has sufficient skill that can take advantage of the ‘variance’ in the game to win at tournaments. The only flaw here is being able to win consistently enough to reach the finals of said tournament. I’m not a pro player or anything so obviously you guys know what you are talking about but I just listened in this interview on the issue of variance and increased information and accessibility to online players. True that without being able to play against the top players on a consistent basis it would be much more difficult but if you do get access to enough of them I’m thinking that the variance in the game could offset that deeper knowledge more in say SF6 than in SF4. I’m not sure. Great interview. Having said all that, I’m sure I’m wrong because I don’t have the knowledge or experience to really comment but I’m just curious. I wonder. The counter to what I said is in who is actually winning the tournaments and the evidence is showing that it’s the same top professional players who are consistently winning tournaments. I wonder if that will remain the case over the lifespan of the game?

Man that hour went by entirely too fast. Speaking of the Caba trash talk, I remember so many people getting upset while he was doing his thing during sfl in the live chat. I thought it was hilarious but someone in the chat said the same thing you said how this is nothing compared to what you guys experience in the past and that comment really stuck with me ever since .

They need to unban him already

imo the good marvel players do well in other fighting games

What I learned; fgc soft as hell.

THE UWU SHYT IS TRASH

FChamp is the shit………we haven’t had a HEEL like Ryan. Capcom banning him is the stupidest decision ever

At the gym looking for something to listen to. Putting this on now 💪🫡
