I'm not a world beater but after a life of physical and sexual abuse,i found solice in the arcades in north wales from an early age,7-8 onwards. At the age of 14 i was homeless and spent 2 and a half years on the streets in a part of wales that was dominated by arcades and it was somewhere to be warm and i had a passion for games and always had have simply because it was an escape. At 17 i got my 1st job,in an arcade,the perfect job,got myself a flat,some clothes and some regular food. Gaming and games in general have been the core of my life for a very long time and i can't stress enough how much this industry does for the world. I understand addiction etc but more than anything i understand how much escapism games have for people under duress or in need os a social life they can't get in real life.

I will admit that this hit close to home for me. Ryan is a highly respectable man, and in many ways, VERY lucky. The streets are mean, they always have been... and being a teen/20-something, down on your luck, in the middle of a sprawling city... it's alot. Yet, it does make a person stronger. Not a good way to go about it, and it does destroy (to the point of killing) others whom can't make it but it makes you stronger indeed. And Ryan has a mental fortitude that is scary. I got to say, this story makes me a fan of him.

[@DuvJones]

Also something that this highlights is something that I think is important. Games as a social space, which the arcades were at it's core. I honestly think that one of the bigger reasons that arcades died has little to do with the games and EVERYTHING to do with the people... @Daniel_Rosen, @ASotula One good work. Two, I wonder if you guys ever investigated that... the social spaces for games. I feel that it might be important to let others know how important it is to have a social space for games, because they are dying I feel.

[@MiserableMovieMan]

We ‘knew’ him back in the day as he used to come to Goodge St arcade to play Tekken and SF and also we used to bump into each other at Vegas. Had no idea what he was going through during this time, he was always a bit reserved and a loner, he came and played and then left. While I did take some games off him back when Tekken was young, it was clear he was a genius at almost every fighting game and he would always rack up the wins. Glad that he has found his path!

[@JohnPedder]

One of the most articulate and smart guys in the fgc. His insight goes beyond understanding games, as he plays so many different fighting games, but also understanding people. Usually the smartest guy in the room.

What an incredible story. I really respect that his response to it now is, "No-one should need to suffer like I did in order to grow like I did", as opposed to the frustratingly common, "I suffered, so only those who suffer too deserve to get what I have." Something that jumps out at me is how homelessness differs from place to place. I'm originally from South Africa, and the idea of being able to travel, or even just have something fun to do, while homeless is basically unknown to that country. This is not at all meant to discredit his experience at all; I just think it's interesting. "Geography is destiny", as Adam Ragusea likes to say. Anyway, I don't read manga, but I might read a manga about this story.

The tournament is designed to exclude most players by narrowing it down to the best and then rewarding only that person. People who play video games their whole life and think they are going to do it for a living, and do not develop a real skill the market has a demand for, are in for a rude awakening and may actually become homeless themselves. I don't recommend people try making a career of playing video games. If you coincidentally become good enough without having to struggle, or already having nothing to lose then go for it I suppose, but don't suffer any more than you have to.

@@eclectikeclectik1405 Well, you'd be mistaken then. You see, most of our capabilities depend on our health and genetics. Whether someone is good at a game or not is not entirely based on their willingness to develop it as a skill. They must also have naturally fast reaction times, as the result of healthy and superior neuro biology. I realize people want to take pride in the hard work that they do to get good at something, but the average person discounts the fact that some people have better "hardware" than others.. so programming your "software" to solve the puzzles is... there's a lot more to it than that. It's an oversimplification to say that people should just "git gud" at ANYTHING. I can tell you to "git gud" at running, but unless you have a tall, long legged build biologically, you're probably not going to win.. ever.. that is if you plan to compete seriously.

Remember kids. This is a story that your parents never want you to know of.

MASSIVE and I mean it, MASSIVE respect to this guy, to overcome so much for your dreams deserves nothing but respect

This guy should have his own story based manga, with some cool ass looking Chinese/Japanese letters like "獅子心" as the book title, which means Lion Heart.
