I suddenly got a whim of inspiration to start writing a book about fighting games (mainly about learning to understand and play them better). I slapped out around 1000 words before going to sleep.
What Im wondering is, what exactly will I be able to do without possible copyright issues? Is namedropping franchises under fair use? What about specific examples from said franchises?

If you're interested in content go to
>>/v/ or /vg/
If you want marketing and general business inquiries try
>>/biz/
Worry about people liking your stuff before you worry about legal protection.

Im probably going to release this thing for free or for a few cents online, Im not writing this with the intention of getting a publisher for it since this isnt my main work.

Why would I go to either of those when my question was about fair use in writing? I can only assume some people around here have tangled with the issue before

No one would buy it. You're objectively best off by posting it on a blog. If you get enough followers, then self publish for money.
I don't think everyone fully realizes how much money people are making by putting content before revenue. There are millionaires that make makeup tutorials for a living.
At the very least, a blog would be the way to go.
