13. HiFight
HiFight overanalyzes tremendous FGC rounds and interactions in a way very few can.
There are even moments, from comebacks to simple zoning games, that would go unnoticed without HiFight’s takes.
Just jump on his YouTube channel and you will be marveled at how much work is put into breaking down Street Fighter games, particularly matches between renowned pro players. With Street Fighter 6, he’s giving us all kinds of relevant information that we are not getting from anywhere else, and for that, we can be thankful.

12. Nephew
Nephew’s a great Kolin player who is considered by many the best West Coast player right now.
He is very fast in producing content and will usually tackle topics and events happening in the FGC before most of the other content creators.
He also loves to do watch-alongs where he’ll comment on ongoing Capcom competitions and explain the action from his own perspective, providing an engaging way for fans to watch tournaments, especially if they’re being originally commentated in Japanese.

11. Brian_F
Brian_F is a beloved competitor and one of the biggest Street Fighter content creators there is.
The dude has an amazing sense of humor and is able to turn any regular situation into a hysterical one with a single one-liner. Smirky and confident but not quite cocky, he is also exceptionally good when it comes to technical skills and is never short on new and original content.
He will even change his characters and his controllers for his viewers’ entertainment and he just won a tournament 3 days after losing his right ball to cancer. Now that is spirit and passion.

10. Smug
Smug is a fantastic player who sky-rocketed into FGC icon status during Street Fighter IV, due to his charismatic nature and ridiculous Dudley combos.
His Dudley combos are so astonishing and groundbreaking that even to this day we see new stuff coming out of his pocket whenever he goes back to USFIV.
But his videos are much more than that, as he plays Street Fighter V as well as explores retro games on Fightcade, and he does several collaborations with other FGC legends, like Justin Wong. What makes his content so good though, is his hilarious demeanor and naturally funny and jestful personality.

2. Maximilian Dood
Maximilian Dood is an explosive human being who absolutely loves fighting games and everything about them.

Watching Max’s videos is going on a roller coaster of emotions non-stop, and you will always end with a smile on your face from watching this guy do his thing. This is a man on a mission, the mission to make the FGC grow and improve, and he’s doing his job well.
