Watch "I Got Next", a documentary on the Street Fighter 4 community
After watching, please respond to the following questions on your own blog:
“Gootecks” (Ryan Gutierrez) and “Long Island Joe” (Joe Ciaramelli) have very different opinions on how far they should pursue Street Fighter. Whose position would you take and why? Also, how do you feel about the rivalry between the East and West coast? Do you think it is beneficial or detrimental to the community?

I think Ryan is living with his head in the clouds because supporting yourself in the present is not the same as supporting yourself plus investing for the future. Joe is more reasonable about life and shouldn't go for a career in SF.
The rivalry draws more attention to the sport, just like with rapping, tennis, basketball, anything else. Rivalries make things more popular and fun to follow. It's good for the community.
