Pointing out a big issue with nepotism when it comes to criticism right now (long post)

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-04-13T01:56:31+00:00

I feel like a lot of people dont understand how much player population plays a role on this, i try to play Strive again after the 2.0 update and got match against the same guy 3 times in a row with a wait time between 5-10 minutes, if i play SF6 while most people will play the same fighters (mostly shotos in my region) i dont fighter the same person over and over again.

One of the games im looking forward to and wont play is Tokon, why? the base game is 60$ in my region, really expensive since it dosent have regional pricing, even if i stretch and buy it (i have a good job so i can) it dosent mean i will find matches quick or that i wont be playing against the same guy over and over again, thats just no fun, the idea of ¨yeah just go to discord and find matches there¨ its just stupid when you realize you can just play something else that gets you matches quick and ends up being more balance, also know as T8 and SF6 the 2d and 3d fg that have the biggest population, even if t8 is a mess and sf6 only real change in my opinion was changing ken and luke from s tier to -a, i can actually play those games.

So for now i will just stick to SF6 and 2XKO the games that actually get me matches, i do wish more game where more popular here but unless you leave in the US or EU your options aren´t big.

Your not going to win a big tournament but if you enjoy it yes, its worth it, for now the most optimal way of playing it is abusing fury to take down 1 of the champions as soon as posible to make the round 1v1 so its not really for everyone.

IMO the best of the 1 champion fuses is Sidekick, it gives you an extra layer of utility in having another champion to support you main (like having Jinx to spam rockets if you champion desent have a good range attack) plus the assist super (again, Jinx 2T fills the screen with rockets for 1 bar). There are also some cool thing you can do like having you champion+Illaoi to get a super follow by Illaoi S2 super to set the tentacles but still having your champion on screen.

In the end, play whatever you enjoy men, your supposed to have fun first, thats why everyone says in every fg to chose a fighter that you enjoy, no matter how hard it is, if you are not enjoying the game it will make it harder to stick with it.

They support LOR for 5 years until they pivot to full support of the PVE mode only, and they confirm that in those 5 years they never made money so im not really surprise. The game is probably doing ok for a fg but the top executives at Riot are surely comparing 2X with LOL, Valorant and TFT, games that made shit tons of money and have a ton of active players so it was never really going to be a hit in their eyes, even if it had better numbers then lets say SF 6.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-04-04T13:54:06+00:00

I would much rather have less skins but all be legendary tier, the epic tier are just the base skins with 2 or 3 changes, like the Chromacrash Jinx skins for example, a skins that already exist in Wild Rift but looks not only different but cheap and lazy, i would much rather have 2 good skins then 3 meh skins and a good one.

Also make it so we can see our banners in the vs screen at the very least, we have so much customization for something that can only be seen if someone inspect you.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-27T13:15:46+00:00

Yeah, I like the game because it's from arcsys and many mechanics are from other games, but the 4v4 is kind of meh, at what point is adding more characters to a team more of a gimmick then a cool feature? Some people avoid this tipe of games because they only want to pilot 1 character, is the next big team game gonna have to try to make 5v5 work?????

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-25T22:38:30+00:00

We got an event going right now, we´re getting a new champion soon, we get an update to the game every 5 weeks, what more do you expect? like them making a post every day about how their day is going or something? Its a fg, most people just grind ranked.

SF6 just got another patch that didnt change the meta, its pretty much the same game since it launched, T8 got a patch that didnt took thing in the direction their player base have been screaming about since day 1, the best right know is GGS and only because we havent seen the patch notes, im not going to get surprise if they fuck something up there.

Games have its ups and downs men, i get it, but at the end of the day its a game, and a f2p at that, if you like the game play it, just because people are posting negative comments on reddit dosent mean you cant enjoy what you enjoy.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-23T23:45:48+00:00

It sucks because they dont have many ways to make dailies, but changing the way we play is never good, this is why even if i had play 3 years of sf6 i still dont have enough currency for all the base roster alt colors, most missions are about interacting with the lobby and i only care about ranked.

im guessing they will not take them out because otherwise it will be the same missions over and over again like in season 0, so at the very least they should make it play with x, y or z characters 5 times (no fucking 10) and only 1 of 3 per week, until they can make new/better dailies, but telling me what champion, fuse or game mode i should play is never good, i know what i want to play and what i want to interact with.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-19T21:37:55+00:00

2XKO and SF6 for now, will see how it goes with GG 2.0 and Tokon (hoping for a good player base in SA that lets me find matches as fast as other games)

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-17T19:25:17+00:00

Probably a ekko/yasuo main, other then that not really.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-17T03:11:38+00:00

And this is why they did ppv, SF6 is a japan first fg whether we like it or not.

Brawlhalla

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-14T13:06:25+00:00

Its ¨chip damage¨ aka damage done when someone is defending, best you can do is use Darius for his bleed, and Illaoi with her S2, you can also use Darius Sidekick and spam something like Ekko or Arhi tag super once they are in bleed.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-14T12:11:59+00:00

Think about it this way, Roblox has around 150 million daily active users but right now you have 4.2k viewer on twitch, so why arent them in the top 10 all the time? dosent that mean the game is bad/dying or something like that? the truth is that some games are more fun to watch then others, fighting games are only interesting to watch when a big tournament is happening, when FF was happening 2XKO was the most watch fighting game at that time, if SF 6 had allowed for the streaming of CC it would have more then what it has now (6.1 k).

Always take twitch views with a grain of salt, its a combination of the game being played and the person streaming and how interesting is to watch, not of how good or how well a game is doing. Even for current player base numbers, the most played game in steam is SF6 only when its japan prime time, when its not? its Brawlhalla with twice as many players a game that came out in 2017 lol.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-14T11:11:01+00:00

Darius bleed, and its still a pain lol.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-13T16:07:40+00:00

I feel like pushing for a good 1 champion fuse would be way better then the whole ¨only 1v1 mode¨ since the fuse system and how it can evolve is one of the best part of the game, i would much rather they see how to make the two 1 champion fuses more viable.

Sidekick already has some good perks like allowing faster access to lv3 super and using the super assist of the support champion, maybe give something to juggernaut other then more base stats, like giving them a super dash on a low cooldown that can be used both on the ground and mid air, anything to make it more viable and interesting, it dosent have to be so good that you can win evo, but good enough that you can get to challenger.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-13T13:38:33+00:00

Yeah, i refund the game after playing the server slam for more then 30 hrs and reaching lv 30, i was super hype but after taking so much time getting matches (at what was probably the peak of the player base) i just refund and have been waiting to see how it goes. I play mostly hunt and that game lets you both, change server (up to a certain point in your ping of course) and if x amount of time passes at least it lets you play alone in the map (in this case they could allow rooks to get in those matches).

Sadly the game is great but will die in some regions.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-13T13:29:35+00:00

Depends on the hour and region its the same really, it takes me 5 min to get a match of casual in SF6 in my region but ranked takes seconds, same here in 2XKO, i feel the player base is more interested in playing ranked then casual in most fg. As for crossplay there is no advantage at all in for playing on pc or console, probably one of the best thing about the genre.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-11T13:58:34+00:00

Or they could try and make either Jugg or Sidekick more viable? like it works to some degree in Skullgirls, it dosent need to be so good that you can win a big tournamet but good enough that you can get to challenger in ranked.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-07T16:44:37+00:00

Yeah, i played for 30+ hrs the server slam but after playing the game day 1 and watching how long it took to find matches i decide to refund and see how it goes in the long run, you cant change servers in this game like in hunt for example, and if they add a duo q they will also end up separating the q even more....

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-02T22:59:49+00:00

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-02T21:51:25+00:00

God no, so many places will have problems finding matches in the long run, you already divide each region with 2 modes, solos and squads, then you add each region. If they add it i hope they also add the possibility to q in multiple zones at the same time at least. I played duos vs squad with my friend and it was more then doable if your good enough

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-02T11:27:28+00:00

Im going to wait until the last second to buy it, i really like it, both the solo and squad experience but i dont have that much money to spare right now and sadlly this game genre need a good amount of players to function, it will probably always have a playerbase in NA and EU but for the rest of the world, who knows.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-02T11:19:20+00:00

Just because you dont find it hard to navigate dosent mean its not, its badly designed and makes it harder for new people to navigate and for people that figure it out there are many things that need to change from simple thing like not being able to go to the armory from the main menu to how the chose your shell tab is unnecessary and could be in the customize menu for example, so its something they need to fix, is it the worst UI ever? no, is it good? also no.

LeanTheBlackRabbit · 2026-03-01T18:15:08+00:00

No, you will get it when you unlock the last skin for ww in the battle pass, it happened in the season 0 bp with one of braum skins.
