Honestly, the most real thing that needed to be said about video games in general. We don't compete over dedicated gaming time/audiences anymore. I have 0 stakes in the 2xko situation, but the more these games try to fight over established audiences, the more risk they incur.

this KD player with the Giant Swing notation selling the comeback trying to be the hero shooting over 3 defenders while i sit in the corner. Can't expect teamwork from Tekken players.

They could've given Yasmine the most stereotypical Filipino accent, and I didn't think a single person would have been mad about it.

Thomas Was Alone was the best sentient box game ever.

I have long stopped playing this game, but reposting this as a symbol of encouragement. Toning things down has had a meaningful effect on people playing the game.. still work to do, but I think doing these in steps is a great way to be measured.
as someone who works in gamedev, the tekken team sticking to their guns from a design standpoint feels like stubborness. i know they can't fix the major complaints with the road they've gone down, wouldn't it just make sense to just tone things down across the board?

Oh man, I can't tell you how anxious I have been for the past 2 months to see these numbers. I've been so excited with how the game felt while we were waiting for patches to go out, and the numbers we were seeing in house felt like black magic, so it's good to get confirmation.

Fighting games have gone full circle where winners payouts must be sacrificed to have more elite competition. As someone who ran tournaments, I have plenty of issues of tournament culture restricts growth, but if I was playing high level, I wouldn't campaign for less earnings.
Competitive Fighting games has too many players that just exist as bracket cheerleaders. You might as well not enter and just pay spectator fee.

A Rhythm Enhanced Sifu-esque beat em' up game where you can add your own songs is really the type of innovation that I wish fighting games had. For example... you can just put Moonlight Wilderness in there and map the BPM, and it just works. store.steampowered.com/app/3…

design always starts with a hypothesis, and it might prove out as fun or not. if your audience isn't having fun, its okay to have been wrong... doubling down into what people don't think is fun just ain't good game design, and you shouldn't be at war with your fans.
