And by any definition you choose, he has the most. While there is no debate regarding Justin Wong being the greatest Marvel vs. Capcom 2 player of all time, his accolades span countless titles and iterations in the world of fighting games. If there was a tournament to be found for a fighting game, Justin Wong would find a way to win. A champion competitor, successful content creator, host, and commentator, many may look at Justin’s illustrious career today and assume that he was destined to be a professional fighting game player, but when Justin began, the concept of a professional player, had not yet even been conceived.In this episode of Trash Talk, I sit down with Justin Wong to discuss his foundational years in the world of fighting games, how playing these games professionally eventually became a real possibility, a detailed inside look at the business of being a pro fighting game player, numbers and all, and what’s next for Justin Wong, and the Fighting Game Community.
