Meet Our Team
The Flying Kick Network
...
We are a small team of passionate players who banded together to form a network of players, developers, and content creators aiming to create a vibrant and strong beat 'em up community. Our mission is to create a space where developers can show and talk in detail about their games, providing the players with the latest news about the best games in this genre, and taking beat'em ups to new heights!
KATIA CARVALHO (KATE C.)
Designer: The only member who doesn’t play beat’em ups (yet!) but has a vast experience in design, image and video editing, translation, and more… She’s like a Swiss army knife, but more dangerous. She is responsible for all your sensorial experiences here on the site and in the magazine.
Top 5 Classic Beat Em Ups: Once the best Chun Li player in town. Does it count?
SERGEI PIADYSHEV (KOTIX)
Consulting: Creator and curator of the most comprehensive Beat 'em Up library on the whole internet. A man who puts objective over nostalgia. His site, Beat 'em Up World, is a major font for our magazine.
The Team
RICARDO SAVINO (TFK)
Editor: Old timer player. Felt in love with the first Double Dragon arcade machine in 1987 and still thinks it is one of the greatest games ever. An avid Nintendo Switch player that thinks every beat ’em up should be on the console. And it should. Usually plays with the fastest character in the game and loves some good crowd control. Don't know how to play with tanks.
Top 5 Classic Beat Em Ups: Double Dragon, Vendetta, D&D Shadow over Mystara, Armored Warriors, Brawl Brothers
