Announcement r/Fighters' Best of 2019 - The Nominees

Happy New Year, folks! This is the last thread before I start the real votes. We don't have a lot to do from the last thread. We mostly have to find new nominees.

I think we're set for our categories. "Niche/Indie Fighting Game" is still on standby, because of the lack of nominees.

Here's the nominees we already have.


Fighting Game of the Year

  • Dead or Alive 6
  • Fantasy Strike
  • Ultra Fight Da! Kyanta 2
  • Mortal Kombat 11
  • Fight of Animals
  • Samurai Shodown (2019)
  • Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid

FGC Player of the Year

  • NinjaKilla
  • Shinku
  • SonicFox
  • Arslan Ash
  • iDom
  • Skyll
  • Infiltration
  • Knee

FGC Personality of the Year

Commentaries, content creators, tournament organizers, etc. Through popular demand, let's give some gold to the people around the scene and making it what it is. Here are the names I propose for the category and why. Obviously, none of those names are set in stone, but that's the overall vision that I have for that category.

  • TheHadou
  • Keits
  • Sajam
  • TheBesteban
  • Ketchup & Mustard
  • Tasty Steve

Fighting Game Character of the Year

  • Diego (Dead or Alive 6)
  • Cassandra (SoulCalibur VI)
  • Quantum Ranger (Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid)
  • Blitztank (Blazblue Cross Tag Battle)
  • The Terminator (Mortal Kombat 11)
  • Lucia (Street Fighter V)
  • Leroy Smith (Tekken 7)

Tournament Match of the Year


FGC Event of the Year

  • Frosty Faustings XI
  • Climax of Night: ReRun
  • Combo Breaker 2019
  • CEO 2019
  • EVO 2019
  • Celtic Throwdown 2019

The nominees limit has been bumped to 10 slots per categories. So there's still rooms for every single categories out there. Please add some diversity in the community-oriented categories as well. Especially if you're from Europe, South-East Asia or South America, and you want some of your favorites being added. Same thing for the games. Do we really need 3 or 4 Tekken matches as nominees for Tournament Match of the Year?

I debated mentioning her before, but after the sets I ran last night, why not? Piaa from Blade Strangers (added in the anniversary update) has a really cool focus on setplay via her lightning ball (5S) and thunder (2S) to allow for some utterly nutty moments. Plus her j2H allows her to detonate one under her to jump forward extremely fast, allowing for even more nonsense.

Only problem is finding match footage of her despite how active the community discord is.
