"i have a girlfriend, but nobody knows that i have a girlfriend... because i don't want them to know"who put this steaming pile on hulu?

I liked it, unlike some of the people reviewing this. I personally wasn't expecting a lot of gameplay, expected it to be what it was, mostly a documentary about the fighting game scene and some of the most well known players at the time. If you are expecting it to be highly centered on the game play, don't watch this, it's not that kind of thing. If you do like it, I suggest watching, "Focus". It's not on hulu, but on G4's website, but it was another well done documentary about Mike Ross. For me, i would recommend it if you like this kind of stuff.

I half thought we would get to see some action. Not a documentary for gamers. And sense it's not for gamers. Who is this documentary for? You'll see more action on the Fattest Loser or staring at a fish tank. Where the hell does Hulu find this stuff?

I'm about halfway through so far (looked at previews for the rest). I really love human interest stories and do enjoy hearing about the stories of the players and all the meta-gaming going on, but the lack of footage of the game itself is really disappointing. I want to see more than just a couple seconds here and there; I want to actually see WHY these players are the best in the nation.I still remember watching this clip on youtube of one pro player doing this insane thing where he was at nearly no health left and blocked Chun Li's hyper-kick using a series of parries; the ONLY POSSIBLE WAY HE COULD PREVENT LOSING. It was epic, but only once the context was explained to me. Anyways -- I'm not saying the movie should have been all game footage; but perhaps a few key games -- the final matches? They're only a few minutes long; it would be cool to see that with some commentary about the context of WHY what they're doing is so challenging and awesome. Hearing story after story about "oh yeah, we're great, and it's fun" is not very interesting. :(

I love documentaries about games, and but this doc was just plain boring. No history of the game, no discussion of strategy or playing styles, and barely enough insight into the players to keep my interest. Just an example of one of the missed opportunities ... when they introduce the players, they display their player name and the character they use in the game, but there is not a single interview with the players where they discuss why they use that character. That would have been way more interesting than the never-ending discussions on west coast vs. east coast.A good game documentary should leave you with the same excitement (or at least an understanding of why people get so excited) about the game. I'm not a fan of Street Fighter, but that shouldn't matter. I'm not big on chess either, but I've seen some amazing documentaries about the game.This documentary was more "for the love of winning" than "for the love of the game".
