I really hope Gerald is doing okay through the recent events. I can't imagine keeping paying rent on a closed studio through the pandemic is going to be good for Core-A financially.
In US and Canada the loan agencies are allowing land owners to defer payments to the end of their contract term. Maybe Korea will too? It doesnt make the rent free, they still need to pay it, just later
My favorite video is "Analysis: Why Button Mashing Doesn't Work" because it is pretty much a glossary on fighting game terms/theory. It's a great video to show friends who don't understand why you enjoy fighting games.
For someone who knew the terms, but could never internalize them, that was the video that finally helped me to understand those things, and every time I think of the terms, I always remember the examples he gave. I learned more in that one video than in dozens of hours of researching how to play.
I love how the community stepped up, myself included, and made subtitles in so many languages for that video. My favorite piece too, probably. I also love the baseball FADC scene though haha.
@@Lewdology bruh i wish i could do that Spend some bars of energy but everything i do is safe and doesnt have recovery lol Itd actually make someone a godly professional fighter irl
My favorite Core-A Gaming video is the one about a need for community. Favorite content creators are Mighty Keef, Core-A Gaming, Sajam, and this channel.
Gerald is awesome, hes done so much for the FGC with his videos. He definitely big impact on me getting back into FGs and looking at them differently, he brings a depth to not just FG's but VG's as a whole. We need more ppl like Gerald in the FGC! Keep it growing!
Sajam's Match Analysis and streams are fun and very informational. Knew almost nothing about UNIST, but now I can watch top 8's and know the flow of the game thanks to Sajam's videos. My favorite Core-A Gaming video is definitely Why Fighting Games Are Hard
I think Core-A’s video on Button Mashing was an excellent semi crash course on some of the basics and fundamentals of fighting game play seen in every FG. In a way got me to understand more about mind games and tactics to help do much better. The video is also just really good for any Newbir to watch, and you might aswell watch it.
What's your favorite Core-A Gaming video? Do you have a favorite content creator in the FGC that you'd like to see featured on the channel? Let us know and thanks for watching!
Sajam and Corea are great, but I think Rooflemonger deserves some love as well. When it comes to Dragonball and lesser main-stream games, he is the guy I go to learn how to play, and his lessons are always very thorough. I would never have learned how to play the likes of Dragonball without him. Heck, it was thanks to him that I finally grasped things like the iger knee motion that I struggled with in other games.
My favorite is him explains about why players are salty and generally is a basic mental breakdown and a bit of psychology. It gave me some insight of how to make someone salty without trying ;)
Favorite Core-A video? That's hard. The one about performance enhancing substances in pro gaming was eye-opening for me, as it was a subject I'd never heard addressed before. Gerald does such a great job of presenting concepts in a researched but never dry way. The one about esports villains and then his interviews with women in the Tekken community stand out too.
I've got kind of a similar story to Gerald, filmmaking with friends in college, a big interest in the FGC and Esports, plans to pool resources after school was done. Things didn't pan out well, but it's nice to see a story like this succeed and go on. Been a big Core-A fan from the start, now I know why it takes so long for him to make a damn video!
I'm very happy this exists. Core-A Gaming and Gerald produce some of the best content ever and I whole heartedly believe he's a big help towards the FGC. He and his team is the literal definition of quality>quantity (shout out to Lemmino as well). Praying for all of them during these trying times.
Good content on making good content. Goodcontentception. I don't even play fighting games, but watching and learning about the FGC is really fascinating. Keep up the good work.
How sweet, a Hold Back to Block video about Core-A Gaming, my two dearest FGC channels ever. This is so good. I found about CAG a few years ago, before HBtB, and it became an instant favorite. HBtB was kind of the same way, but more recently, so this is a dream match in FGC TH-cam territory. Awesome video guys. I have so much respect for people like Gerald, who get up of their chair and actually do shit. He deserves all the best, and I hope CAG continues to prosper for many years to come.
got dayum this is great content! Gerald's work is inspiring and shows his love for fighting games. much respect to this channel and him. GLHF and stay safe!
My favorites right now are Core A Gaming, and Mighty Keef. The contrast is quite drastic, but it's good to have all kinds of content for the fgc. Comedic skits can be as good for morale as in depth analysis.
Gerald already has the look, he will be an OG in time, and look like that old kung fu master from kill bill that everyone will respect even if hes not the best fighter in the world.
I already knew about fighting games and played them a bit before watching Core-A Gaming, but afyer I watched him, I got so interestend in fighting games. Because of him and Brian_F I've started plying Street Fighter V.
His explanation of our evaluation of 'proper' length as primarily a function of quality (Edited properly) as opposed to quantity (Pure duration) is some damn good shit.
Mi primera experiencia fue en un arcade jugando street fighter 2 con mi prima ella eligió a dhalsin y yo a ryu ninguno sabia jugar me swippeo y aunque perdi me intereso mucho el juego donde vivo no habia mucha variedad en juegos y no me atraia Mortal Kombat tuve que esperar mas de 10,años para tener juegos de pelea buenos pero siempre recordare esa partida con mi prima
Does the name Core-A Gaming came from Korea Gaming? Just because or maybe Gerald Lee is Korean American and who is now mainly operating in Korea. Just my theory though. Wonder why the presenter didn't ask that?
I also want to Recommend New frame plus channel for making by far my favorite Deep dive video on Art styles of guilty gear. That channel lead me to Core a gaming for the better from my recommended feed. go watch "The Animation of Guilty Gear Xrd & Dragon Ball FighterZ" its a great video.
@@cenizen in the actual Video from core a gaming he says that it's him. He is playing the sweeps and throws game to teach his friend about the basics of street fighter
Hey dude, I just did like 20 min of research trying to find it with no results. It looks like an ArcSystemWorks style game with the anime cellshaded aesthetic but a 3D graphics engine. It's not guilty Gear or Under night or melty blood or BlazBlue. I cannot find it, please let me know if you ever do

The government could possibly cut down on rent

It doesnt make the rent free, they still need to pay it, just later

Korea is probably the best place you could be

Hi brian f
Core - A
Corea
Korea
OMG only now I get it
Bro you're straight up genius
Jeff is my waifu wuuuht!!!

Yeah, I only noticed it today. Wild.
My favorite Core-A Gaming video is the one about a need for community. Favorite content creators are Mighty Keef, Core-A Gaming, Sajam, and this channel.
“Hold back to block “
Mortal Kombat: We dont do that here
Which is why its really pointless to force that
666melodeath666 People play that game?
Sheckles Goldstein Bruh it sold better than SFV
TheFuzzZone Why isn’t it going to be at EVO then?
@@shadysheister just because it might be in Evo this year doesn't mean the quality of the game
"Why are you making a video for an algorithm?"
God I wish more youtubers asked themselves that question!
Making videos for money isn't an inherently bad thing.
@@flavoredchin You'd still get more money trying to appeal to an audience than an algorithm.

2 core A gaming vids in one month ?
One from them, one about them?
YO AM DOWN FOR THAT
What's your favorite Core-A Gaming video? Do you have a favorite content creator in the FGC that you'd like to see featured on the channel? Let us know and thanks for watching!
2D vs. 3D video is the one that even got me in! and then i binged the rest of them. And still binge from time to time.
His "The Need for Community" is still my favorite piece. Such an insightful piece.
The one about the bracket, because of that video I was able to get my friend to come to our local monthly event.
Sajam and Corea are great, but I think Rooflemonger deserves some love as well. When it comes to Dragonball and lesser main-stream games, he is the guy I go to learn how to play, and his lessons are always very thorough. I would never have learned how to play the likes of Dragonball without him. Heck, it was thanks to him that I finally grasped things like the iger knee motion that I struggled with in other games.

Mine is probably why button mashing don't work and the recent commentary analysis.
Two of my favorite FGC Contents Creators, united!
Awesome video as always!
I hope Core-A makes it through everything that's happening. I'd love to visit their studios one day.
wow im so slow... "Core-A Gaming" "Kore-a Gaming" "Korea Gaming" genius subliminal name for the brand.

one of the best fgc content creators hands down
Gerald is an icon in his own right in the fighting game community

Words cant explain my love and respect for this man
You know its great when the voice hits home very well...
I got into Fighting games because of Core-A gaming
4:55 knowing how polished every video is and the time between each video i'd say A L O O O O O O O O O O O T
Very well made, wishing more success to both the channels for putting out quality content and not caring about TH-cam algorithm.
Thanks a lot for this awesome video about the "backstage" of one of the best video makers on TH-cam. Great topic, great video, loved it!

So easy to watch for 10+ min videos.
Thank you guys for all your hard work with these quality vids!

First time seeing your channel, just wanted to say; this is an awesome interview. You asked good questions and kept the focus on Core A. Great watch.
Lol looking at the thumbnail, i only just realized Core-A basically says Korea, pretty cool
man, Gerald is so cool. An actual artist
His explanation of our evaluation of 'proper' length as primarily a function of quality (Edited properly) as opposed to quantity (Pure duration) is some damn good shit.
Gerald ur videos are awesome! Appreciate how much efforts you put into every each of them! Thank you so much and please keep it up.
Lovely work as always!
Man. "What does Core-A Gaming look like in five years?" really hits hard with what happened immediately after this video came out.
Something happen to him?
@@thektorMK1 The coronavirus broke out.
In Korea right now on lockdown.. really hope I get a chance to visit
Core A Gaming should be sponsored by TH-cam itself, should be Premium content
Thanks for doing all this good work.
It would be absolutely amazing to see an analysis of a Tekken Dojo event by Core-A gaming.
If they ever host one that could be a possibility.
✊Great Content from Amazing Talents.
Yourself included! Stay safe Ernesto
That friend saved your LIFE
Yeah, I think I remember that I started getting interesed in fighting games because of Core-A gaming
Good video man. Well done.
spotted that Got Djent shirt. It seems Gerald is indeed a man of culture
Great work fellas!
Gerald not just talk about fighting game analysis he talk about multiplayer games or esport as a whole
Gerald is an international treasure
This was a really good video and a nice insight into his video process
Whats better then a Core-A Gaming video you ask? A video about Core-A Gaming!!!
Good interview. Boosh!
I don't get it
Core-A so good they needed to make a video about him
No wonder the Core-A Gaming videos are so good

Lol the cat at 9:47 I can’t. 🤣😂

Thank you so much for this
That was great ty so much!
At 12:00 - Holy shit is that Daemon Bride !?

Gerald has so much philosophical wisdom
Inspiration !!! i'm just starting my journey making content
I like that yt channel, COREA GAMING
What a great video ♥
Imagine making good content about good content

Gerald looks like a high ranking Yakuza member
this video makes me want to visit south korea
What a hero!
Hope they may make a fighting game! Best of wishes!
I love core-a gaming
Mine is his one on improvement
Mortal kombat disapproves of your name
Corea is the Spanish spelling for Korea. Neat...
Does the name Core-A Gaming came from Korea Gaming? Just because or maybe Gerald Lee is Korean American and who is now mainly operating in Korea. Just my theory though. Wonder why the presenter didn't ask that?
Damn, he's good
Hey Esteban, I would like to use some shots in this video for a Korean audience based youtube video. Would that be okay?
Sure! Just link back to this video in the description with a credit please.
@@Holdbacktoblock Got it thanks!
I think I might have swagger jacked pony tails from you. Lol.
What does he mean by “player focused events”?
Wait, his name isn't Corey?!
👍

go watch "The Animation of Guilty Gear Xrd & Dragon Ball FighterZ" its a great video.
13:08 he looks so different with short hair

The same guy who gerald taught sf4 in that other vid (he mashed lariat and beat it lmao)

Like, Core-A Gaming and Making Good Content, Right?
Core-A is amazing.
He provides what Matthewmatosis and Nerrel can't.
Depth to fighting games.

Does anyone know the name of the game from 6:16-6:17 right before Smash Ultimate shows up?
Hey dude, I just did like 20 min of research trying to find it with no results. It looks like an ArcSystemWorks style game with the anime cellshaded aesthetic but a 3D graphics engine. It's not guilty Gear or Under night or melty blood or BlazBlue. I cannot find it, please let me know if you ever do
Bro I found it. It's actually Bedmen from Guilty Gear Xrd. I am foolish for not knowing him.
@@rubiks5659 Yoooo thank you so much bro. I was thinking it was ArcSys too
