After serving as a place to meet and discuss fighting games for many years, the SRK Forums will unfortunately be shutting down at the end of January, 2018, due to their gradually decreased use. Tom Cannon offers these words to send off our little piece of FGC history:
*Shoryuken.com launched back in 2000 with the title “Your competitive edge.” Back then, it was pretty tough to get accurate information about mysterious fighting techniques like the “kara cancel.” The goal of this site was to allow hard-core fighting game players to connect, both to share strategies and meet up IRL to play.
Nearly 20 years later, the way we as fighting game fans consume information has exploded. We’re lucky to have a wealth of content out there now, from YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, reddit, and more. In a world of highly-connected players, the need for a centralized info hub is greatly diminished. So, it’s time to say goodbye to the SRK forums.
It’s been an epic ride, and I’m glad that we were able to provide a discussion venue for all aspects of the FGC, from tournament strategies, player meetups, stick-building resources, etc. Thanks to everyone out there who spent time on the site.*
To help facilitate the transition of content from the forum section to other locations, we’re leaving the forum site open until the end of the month. Front page news and editorial content will continue as normal. We appreciate your readership, and encourage you to look forward to new content from Shoryuken throughout 2018.
Say your goodbyes now, ladies and gentlemen.
I joined the forums back in 2003 under a different name until I made a new name in 2004. While the forums haven’t been as good as they used to be in their prime, I’ll miss all the crazy stuff that has happened here in GD. Great moments and threads in GD include the Prince of Masturbation threads, Tier List threads, the Battle Royal threads, Son Them All getting son’d, and other things that I probably can’t remember. It’s been a crazy 15 years for me on SRK, and I’ve made some cool friends in both GD and local matchmaking threads.
I’ll actually miss SRK forums and GD, but I won’t miss all of you fucks. Fuck you.
