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.
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
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!
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!
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 CZcams 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.
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.
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?
@@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
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.
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
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
Dustin James it will be a fatass bill tho
Korea is probably the best place you could be

Gotta love how for as long as Gerald is being interviewed, the day progressively turn into night
Taking notes
Hi brian f
Core - A
Corea
Korea
OMG only now I get it
Bro you're straight up genius
Jeff is my waifu wuuuht!!!
CoronA
Yeah, I only noticed it today. Wild.
“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
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.
"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.
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.

2 core A gaming vids in one month ?
One from them, one about them?
YO AM DOWN FOR THAT

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.
Hold Back to Block All of them. They always have good information and great music.
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.
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 ;)
wow im so slow... "Core-A Gaming" "Kore-a Gaming" "Korea Gaming" genius subliminal name for the brand.

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.
Mine is probably why button mashing don't work and the recent commentary analysis.
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
I got into Fighting games because of Core-A gaming

Thanks a lot for this awesome video about the "backstage" of one of the best video makers on CZcams. Great topic, great video, loved it!
You know its great when the voice hits home very well...
Thank you guys for all your hard work with these quality vids!
Very well made, wishing more success to both the channels for putting out quality content and not caring about CZcams algorithm.
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
His content‘s quality is unreal.
So easy to watch for 10+ min videos.
man, Gerald is so cool. An actual artist
Lovely work as always!
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.
Thanks for doing all this good work.
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.
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.
Good video man. Well done.
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.
✊Great Content from Amazing Talents.
Yourself included! Stay safe Ernesto
Lol looking at the thumbnail, i only just realized Core-A basically says Korea, pretty cool
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.
That friend saved your LIFE
In Korea right now on lockdown.. really hope I get a chance to visit

Great work fellas!
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.
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.
Gerald is an international treasure
This was a really good video and a nice insight into his video process
Yeah, I think I remember that I started getting interesed in fighting games because of Core-A gaming
Good interview. Boosh!
I don't get it
spotted that Got Djent shirt. It seems Gerald is indeed a man of culture
Whats better then a Core-A Gaming video you ask? A video about Core-A Gaming!!!
100/100
Thank you so much for this
Core A Gaming should be sponsored by CZcams itself, should be Premium content
Core-A so good they needed to make a video about him
this dude is amazing
Great content as usual!
That was great ty so much!
No wonder the Core-A Gaming videos are so good
Gerald not just talk about fighting game analysis he talk about multiplayer games or esport as a whole
Inspiration !!! i'm just starting my journey making content
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
What a great video ♥
Gerald has so much philosophical wisdom
Lol the cat at 9:47 I can’t. 🤣😂
What a hero!
I like that yt channel, COREA GAMING
At 12:00 - Holy shit is that Daemon Bride !?
Hope they may make a fighting game! Best of wishes!
this video makes me want to visit south korea
Gerald looks like a high ranking Yakuza member
Imagine making good content about good content
woah
I love core-a gaming
Mine is his one on improvement
Corea is the Spanish spelling for Korea. Neat...
Damn, he's good
Mortal kombat disapproves of your name
👍
Wait, his name isn't Corey?!
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?
13:08 he looks so different with short hair
Carlo Hoey burger I think that’s someone else
@@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
@@rickyrub1106 no lol thats his cousin
The same guy who gerald taught sf4 in that other vid (he mashed lariat and beat it lmao)
@@Rex-golf_player810 my bad you guys are right
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”?
♡♡♡♡♡
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.
Core-A is amazing.
He provides what Matthewmatosis and Nerrel can't.
Depth to fighting games.
Like, Core-A Gaming and Making Good Content, Right?
This is a good video, right
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
