Update: MFC has evolved into — NEFGC (New England Fighting Game Community - Not Nebraska!) (… I think)
This is due to the fact that the community now has members from other states, including Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island.
After looking through the other threads for information, I’ve decided to form a general thread addressing the MA NE fighting game scene - if only to stop others from posting new threads and such. In short, I’ll probably be lifting information from the MFC NEFGC’s Facebook page and putting it on SRK for advertisement. Updates may include, but are not limited to, tournaments, stream links, news, etc. Hopefully, this doesn’t turn out to be a bad idea.
