After you read chapter 6, check out this article that talks about Nuki's VSav career. Most importantly, it talks about "The Legend of the 0.2sec Credit Feeding" which you can see in this chapter.

Also after you read chapter 9, there's an interview of Daigo and Sako that was made for the release of Darkstalkers Resurrection (by Nuki of all people!). In 8:35, there's a part where Daigo talks about what happens in chapter 9. Definitely give it a watch, it's great!

Umehara FIGHTING GAMERS! chapter 4 release!

Sorry it's taken forever for this chapter, a bunch of life stuff got in the way (Bonkler's life specifically, yell at him over Twitter or something).

There's a whole lot of Vampire Savior action in this chapter and some pretty technical explanations of said VSav action, enjoy! Nuki also might get salty.

Daigo is not amused.

So it turns out all 3 of us were pretty wrong about Evo2015 top 3 for USF4... but congrats to Momochi for clutching it out despite the stick malfunction! Also thanks to Woshige for the best Evo top 8 moment ever. Also, it looks like Nuki made it out of his pool for USF4 during this year's Evo (then he lost his 2 matches out of pools it seems Kappa).

Also, this is the SPEED song they sing in karaoke in the chapter (Go! Go! Heaven!) (try to imagine Nuki singing this):

Umehara FIGHTING GAMERS chapter 1 release!

This is our first release as a scanlation group, the fighting game manga: Umehara FIGHTING GAMERS!

Daigo gonna body some scrubs.

The manga's official summary:

The story about the living legend of Fighting Games, Daigo Umehara is now in comic form!

The year is 1996. Shinya Oonuki is another gifted gamer living in the same era as Umehara. This man encounters the glamor of fighting games which leads him towards the path of obsession. This story covers the raging battles between Umehara and Nuki, two players who have carved their names into the history of fighting games!

This manga takes place in the Japanese arcade scene in 1996 and you'll see games like Street Fighter 2: Super Turbo, Street Fighter Zero (Alpha) 2, Vampire Savior (aka Darkstalkers 3), and Alpha 3. Some people will get bodied. Some will get salty. Daigo will probably beat people in video games.
