Retro Twitch revival
Small retro streams are popping: Retro Revival FGC streamed Street Fighter Alpha 2 (112 views) on March 20 and the Jaboody Show ran a PS2 Retro Showcase across Twitch and YouTube on March 19 (692 views), highlighting renewed interest in classic titles and community co‑streams. Other niche streams — like Retro Rewind’s Video Store Simulator — kept the vibe going across weekend broadcasts, proving low‑view but high‑engagement retro content still finds an audience.

Retro Revival maintains an active YouTube channel with roughly 800–900 subscribers and uploads full-match VODs of classic fighters such as Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Alpha 3.

(start.gg) (bsky.app) Jaboody Show publishes simultaneous Twitch and YouTube streams and lists live days on its Twitch schedule, while its main YouTube channel shows a subscriber base of about 183,000.
