Free Step Dodge

If the developers could simply communicate w/o it looking like a whole argument party & people being called "roaches" and stuff, games would be in a better position w/o dying after a year or having players retiring and going to other stuff. And if games stuck w/ the fundamental aspect of what made their game unique w/o these weird input delay execution barriers or movement barriers....

to make a game challenging but offense easier for YOLO style, then you make a game easier to approach for new players while at the same time allowing pro's to do what they do best and allow them to express themselves to the best of their abilities w/ said characters.

I guess it's just natural that the most passionate fans would be the most critical of a series, unless they're blind fans that'll eat up anything.

And MK being a top seller doesn't exactly prove to me that fighting games can sell. The way I see it, MK is popular for the same reason GoT was popular and the same reason Attack on Titan is popular (not saying everyone who likes those things is the same, though).

And what's with Boon making implementing rollback hinging on whither covid lasts longer. Covid is just a wakeup call, they should be putting in rollback regardless of whither there's a pandemic happening. Still, better than most devs are doing.

Also, he forgot to mention how we have to pay for online on top of all the other expenses.

People can easily admit Boon does well with QoL stuff because he's a western dev that understands our network infastructure and that many types of people play games. However, he doesn't understand that people really do play MK for the violence. Without it, he'd understand how it is to keep Core happy w/ casual appeal, that it isn't easy to juggle.

2:18 Easy. Virtua Fighter. People always give blind love to it without knowing why. We all know they'd leave after playing people like me or anyone on VFDC. Kingjae and Swe's fake ass love for it because it's old. We'd wash these Tektards. A few select people on here too, I bet.

Virtua Fighter wouldn't bring every community together for the same reason Anime, Namco or Capcom fighters don't bring everyone together. 2D players don't care for 3D fighters and Tekken players generally don't care for Anime/2D fighters. VF appeals to a small niche of players that appreciate a pure 3D fighting experience. Most Tekken players like to pretend they're playing the hardest FG, despite VF's existence.

As for Sajam's commentary, he's pretty much on the money (pun unintended?). The issue with FG's becomes very obvious if you've played games like Overwatch, Apex Legends, or the like. For starters, FG's need to stop charging full price ($60USD/$80CAD) for AA games that amount to a small step up overall than an indie game. They need to stop selling DLC stuff out the ass on top of that $80CAD.
