PlayStation brought together some of the biggest names in the fighting game community for the Ultimate FGC Round Table, where legends and champions debated everything from legacy players to which games take the most skill.
Justin Wong, MenaRD, Arslan Ash, and Nitro all weighed in on whether veterans get too much respect. “I do think legacy players do get too much respect,” Wong admitted, before Mena countered that early pros had to grind without modern resources, adding, “They were godlike anyway.”

The panel quickly turned competitive when Mena claimed he could beat Wong in Street Fighter 4. Wong immediately fired back with a $10,000 wager, leading to a one-game exhibition on stage that Wong ultimately won.
Other hot topics included retirement ages in the FGC, with Arslan suggesting champions in their 40s are proving what’s possible, and which game requires the most skill to win. Multiple players agreed that Street Fighter 6 is the toughest title to dominate, even for the best in the world.
