Every competitive scene has its boogeyman, a name that, when whispered, strikes fear into the hearts of rivals. In baseball its Shohei Ohtani, with his ability to both pitch and hit like he was born on the field. In boxing its Deontay Wilder, whose otherworldly punching power fells giants. In fighting game series Guilty Gear, its Joe Biden.

Since 2020, a player who goes by the in-game handle Joe Biden has operated at the highest levels of Guilty Gear, a fighting game series known for its flashy anime visuals and idiosyncratic characters. The game rewards and, once you hit even an intermediate level, basically requires intense dedication, lending itself to a fan base thats tight knit and passionate. Word travels fast among the series players, and in just a couple years, Joe Biden has become something of a legend.

lolololol nice Guilty Gear is awesome too
