This place is going to be on my Top "Go-to" list if I would ever travel to South Korea in the future

[@RealGhost49]

Definitely a Top “Go-to” place. I’ve always liked fighting games but Core-A videos made me love fighting games( and some other KZbinrs as well mostly A Core-A), so this would be great place to go to. I’m trash at fighting games but the community is probably one of the best gaming community’s.

[@z-chan946]

Sheet man I gon need to learn korean then

[@RealGhost49]

@@z-chan946 nah, I don’t think you have to most to f the other countries learn a bit of English growing up so they are English friendly. Well Japan is anyways I think Korea is similar.

If I had a ton of money, I'd support a lot of content creators that I watch. I am thankful to those richer that support them for me, too because there are people like me who enjoy the free stuff. You shouldn't feel bad if you can't support with money, just talking about a thing you've seen is helping it share it and will eventually reach the people who can support it in a more direct manner.

My friend you are unbelieveable, it's an honor and a pleasure to even hear about this place being built, let alone the opportunity to go there. Love you dud!

This is legitimately inspiring knowing how you started to where you ended. I’ve been watching since the start of this channel and had no idea this would ever be the end result. Couldn’t be happier for you man, can’t wait to drop by one day

Makes me miss my local arcade. I still remember the mall it was in, now it's a pile of dirt. :(

[@U2befantom]

Honestly this is the kind of thing that makes me proud to be a part of the FGC. I hope it takes off like a rocket 🚀

[@sinitheexcellent3654]

God bless y'all, hope your venue survives and thrives for years to come!

[@calebhessing7593]

Dang, that place looks epic. My local venue, or what was my local venue before COVID happened, had bathrooms that simultaneously looked like a meetup place for drug dealers and the kind of place where people die in horror movies. Honestly, drug dealers probably did meet up there from time to time, and I'm sure at least one person has died in there at some point in time.

[@TheEvilCheesecake]

"more cables than MvC2" is a great line.

[@dualisanimates1923]

Bro even your ads are well made and easy to watch. Love your videos.

[@volcano_lotus]

Seeing Core A Gaming become bigger and able to make great content during these times has really cheered me up, added this venue to my bucket list

[@ThevenimX]

I think this is the channel i come back to the most to rewatch vids. Keep up the amazing work and i cant wait to go to Seoul to try out the Core A fighting cafe

[@alexpaik1214]

I love going to Core-A! You never know who you'll bump into when you're there!

[@L1ttleWarrior13]

I used to be over in Korea, and I got a chance to go to the Studio right before the pandemic really hit for a Smash Ultimate tournament, and it was a blast. Beautiful place you all. Sadly, I'm back in the U.S. so I can't go back there, but I really wish I could. Best of luck guys!

[@Sune]

Inspirational stuff! EDIT: just realized you made the song at the end too. that's rad!

[@Kokosnuss]

I would literally enjoy a video of you just talking about paint. You're awesome.

[@pokemonpichu1]

Honestly that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 music is the best!

[@AlluMan96]

Always great to see people's efforts to spread the passion in an area. I had just recently caught wind of a small fighting game scene that was being formed where I live and I've since tried to contribute in the ways I can, whether that be hauling my games and consoles and game copies to meetings or what have you. It's only a very small thing at this stage. For the time being, we effectively just operate out of a youth center and only have the 3 hours before closing time given to us. Corona is a bitch though, so even that little was put the kibosh on for until the end of the year, but I am genuinely excited and willing to help make this a thing. For the one month I was a part of this, we managed to set up a casual Tekken 7 tournament and actually got a 10-man tourney going. It might not be a big event, but it was an awesome night with so much electricity in the air. It was an evening magical enough to want it to thrive, although how much I can actually do by myself is still limited to helping with providing games and consoles.

wow i had no idea you were an evo champ. congrats

Wow going to Seoul to visit pretty cafes then grab a drink with the boys at Core-A Studios sounds like the dream!!

[@unofficialSummer]

I wish you all the best with your Fighting Games Venue dude. As far as I can see everything looks amazing.

[@Wack0Br0]

Whenever travel restrictions will allow it, this is most def gonna be a place-to-go on my list. Tip: The cafe wall mentioned on 1:55 can be put in display cabinets to reduce collection of dust, its going to be really annoying to dust every single item on there and place it back

[@Claudiustheimmortal]

This is become my main reason now for wanting to visit Korea, awesome setup.

For those of you who didn't get the zoning joke; Zoning is something employees in supermarkets and big box stores do where they make sure all of the products on the shelves are straight and easily accessible to customers. Zoning in fighting games is keeping your opponent away from you using projectiles.

[@bluasterisk]

Wow man, I gotta visit this if I ever stop by in Korea. That was so much consideration to the experience of the players, a lot of my experience of going to FGC gatherings here in SoCal haven't been too pleasant.

[@bautistacardozo7092]

I honestly want to go to South Korea to visit this place. Fighting game hangouts are non-existent where I live, so a place this nice, with a low entry fee, ran by my favorite content creator seems like a no-brainer. I mean it, once the world opens up again, I want to visit this place and get to know South Korea in general

[@1337hacks]

dude, always needed a reason to go to Seoul, thanks for giving one.
