@socalcolosseum.bsky.social #82 - Friday nights in Irvine, CA

#ChainShift2025 is a love letter to our FGC locals. My goal this month is to highlight what makes our events special & how there's so much to be seen beyond the livestreams.

I have returned back home! Traveling to Japan for the first time was a very eye-opening experience. I'm glad I was able to be there for the first #TEKKEN 8 champion and support my friends at the Last Chance Qualifiers. Looking forward to our community plans for 2025!

Preparing for my Japan flight for #TWT2024 Global Finals by making sure my gear is well maintained. I'm also contemplating switching out my black buttons for matte white. What do you guys think? 🤔
