Watch This: I Got Next: A Documentary on the Fighting Game Scene


There is a new movie documentary competitive gaming focusing on Street Fighter IV. I found out about it from the G4TV blog. Here is the report"

Curious about the fighting game tournament scene? You've seen gootecks on G4tv.com and X-Play (Balrog Tutorial, Pro Tips) and want to know more about why he does what he does? You'll need to check out I Got Next: A Documentary on the Fighting Game Scene, which looks at the growing Street Fighter IV competitive community. Granted, the players you'll see in this video have been playing since long before SFIV was released, but the spotlight is on SFIV and for good reason.

The movie will be premiering this Friday night at 8PM EST on UFragTV, streaming live and for free. Afterwards, there will be a live-streamed Q&A with Ryan "gootecks" Gutierrez, Justin Wong, and Mike Ross. The film was written, directed, and produced by Ian Cofino.

I've seen an early copy of the film and if you're at all interested in competitive gaming, fighting games, or Street Fighter IV you should check it out. At the very least, check out the trailer at the film's official site.
