Violent Fighting to Come Again, in 2026

If you like us, "Send some love or hate". We'll work with it either way.This episode of the Fighting Game Banter podcast gives 2025 its final playthrough, what worked, what didn't, why can't award shows understand the assignment, and what to look forward to in 2026. We also discuss the possible impact of U.S. Immigration Enforcement on local, national, and worldwide FGC events. We reached out to Run The Mix in Minnesota and asked if these political factors are influencing their attendance and participation as of late. The conversation emphasizes the resilience of the community amidst challenges, the importance of grassroots support and local organizers in maintaining the vibrancy of the fighting game scene.Links to references mentioned or cited in this episode:FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul National Immigration Law CenterRunTheMix - Minneapolis Fighting Game Community HunterXHunter:Nen Impact on exA-ArcadiaUS Visa Waver Program (VWP)US names sporting events exempt visa banFor Guest Inquires, Q&A questions for future episodes, and concerns about errors I may have made with the information said in the podcast.
