Spring Fighter 2019

NYU Game Center

<DIV>
<P>Join us on Saturday, May 4th for <STRONG>Spring Fighter</STRONG>, the NYU Game Center's annual celebration of fighting games. This year will be the tenth, and last, Spring Fighter.</P>
<P>In addition to tournaments in multiple fighting games, each year we host an interview with someone from the world of Street Fighter. We've had Daigo Umehara (<A HREF="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzS96auqau0" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">famous for this</A>), Justin Wong (whose perfect defense made Umehara's instantaneous, pluperfect response to it both necessary and possible). We've heard about being a transgender athlete, about lying to parents to take a bus from New York to California to play Street Fighter, and about driving a U-Haul full of arcade cabinets through the night to Las Vegas to make a tournament happen.</P>
<P>After multiple years of interviewing fighting game players at Spring Fighter,<STRONG> Seth Killian</STRONG> is now being interviewed himself. Killian is a fighting game player, designer, commentator, and community organizer, whose massive contribution to fighting games has made him the namesake for two different boss characters (Seth in <EM>Street Fighter IV</EM> & S-Kill in <EM>Divekick</EM>). NYU Game Center Professor Charles Pratt will sit down with Seth to hear about his early days playing <EM>Street Fighter</EM> for cash, his time at Capcom balancing <EM>Street Fighter IV</EM>, what it's like to do commentary for history-making Evo Championship matches, and his recent work designing games at Sony Santa Monica, Radiant Entertainment, and Riot Games. Join us to hear from a legend in fighting games on what it's like turn the game that you love into a career fostering a worldwide community.</P>
