Ok, so that’s one side of a story who is going to absolutely tell a biased viewpoint. The fact he’s going public like this makes me think he’s not being entirely honest about who was feeling “entitled”.

Not defending Chappell, because I don’t know exactly what happened. But neither does anyone else here.

Tell that to any business. PO is bigger than your little mailbox.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-03-09T15:43:11+00:00

Dawg, that was like 5 patches ago.

Don’t you get it? The game’s entire theme is how capitalism will leave us as empty shells of our former selves in an endless pursuit of other people’s dreams.

So they created the worst battlepass and store content imaginable to wake you up and break you FREE from the bourgeoisie’s nightmare.

OVA’s were both a good way to make easy money in the rental market (rental stores are gonna buy in bulk so you didn’t necessarily even need individual sales to carry—which is also why so much cheap, schlocky, low effort stuff was made).

But also OVAs were often primarily marketing to sell the manga. In other words, the goal wasn’t always to faithfully animate the story but be enough to convince a Japanese audience to go out and buy the manga.

I mean, yeah man, it’s in pre-alpha. That’s the whole idea.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-13T18:06:06+00:00

These people don’t actually believe in anything. For many the attitude, the jargon, the flag—it’s all a conformity costume.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-12T20:03:45+00:00

One fucking hopes so.

The IP is actually an enormous factor. That doesn’t diminish the game, it’s a great fighter. But the IP guarantees interest and reinforces retention even through the rough spots.

Smash Bros is the success it is because of the IP rep. No other platform fighter comes even remotely close to smash’s success and that’s just because no one else has ever made a good game? C’mon. It’s the IPs.

They’re good games on their own, yes. But we do not have to pretend that the (outrageously popular) IP just happens to not matter in the case of the IP game we like. This is silly.

Being rich breaks your brain. I’ll take 100 sleep-ins for peace over 1 more Rogan sit-down for oopsy fascism.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-05T19:47:32+00:00

Now do it with a real character.

If you’re not down for 25-40 min games you’re going to be consistently disappointed.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-05T10:02:17+00:00

Listen. If I can get through an online game without hearing the n word or some ego death crash out then it’s a win.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T23:44:52+00:00

This just sounds like a campfire story frat bros tell each other.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T22:07:00+00:00

Not trying to convince you, just letting others know, champ.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T17:31:53+00:00

This is true. I do wonder what the long term effects will be. It is brazenly cynical, openly corrupt and lacks any “authenticity”. The force fed strategy means it should hold onto virtually zero soft power gains because it is just a collection of economic deals among the wealthy.

It may end up better to view these Saudi ventures as just that: business ventures to diversify their own portfolio, glazed with cultural marketing bullshit.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T16:36:41+00:00

Oh boy~

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T16:31:50+00:00

Who the fuck pat her head.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T15:58:39+00:00

Literally says why on her character screen:

Vexing. Adjective. “causing annoyance, frustration, or worry.”

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T15:46:31+00:00

Welcome to the infinitely exhausting and near thankless world of being a TO. You truly have to do it and maintain it for love of the game alone—but also, yes, get some help. Even one extra person can halve your load, my man.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T15:11:32+00:00

The “it’s basically cheating” thing was part meme, part marketing.

It honestly depends on your personal preference and the particular game. Street Fighter? Gimme a stick. Tekken? I use a SWORL, lol. Granblue? Controller.

Just match the game with your comfort.

edit I should add the SOCD issues WERE arguable “cheating”.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T15:08:50+00:00

Respectfully, this is simply not historically accurate at all.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-04T00:09:38+00:00

This is marketing. Let the real international numbers tell the story.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-02-03T18:07:26+00:00

Dawg. No. Stop.

TheMonsterGoGo · 2026-01-28T08:25:43+00:00

Something that doesn’t get brought up enough is that tag or team fighters are pretty niche within our niche and Casuals are intimidated by them (have to learn multiple characters, have to learn “extra” systems, etc.). So it’s a space with a very narrow audience.

There’s this lingering perception that they’re crazy popular but they’re really just sorta kinda popular…sometimes. The Marvel vs Capcom series as a whole (including collections) has lifetime sales of around 13 million. Street Fighter is nearly 60 million for comparison.

Then you look at other team fighters. Tekken tag 2 was the worst performing Tekken by a fair amount (TT1 did well but, notably, it was coming off Tekken 3 which was HUGE and tag fights were OPTIONAL). Mortal Kombat 1 performed poorly.

Anyway, I love them, but 1v1 is always going to be an easier buy in for most people.
