Individually, a person who plays fighting games may have a bunch of different complicated nuanced motivations and emotions that are served by different parts of the fighting game experience — not limited to the game itself on their console, but the broader journey of mastery and connectivity. The high-minded ideal FGC stuff I mentioned above is real and does exist! It just doesn’t exist enough to sell the millions of copies that go into funding the next Street Fighter or Tekken. At scale, building and selling games as a service looks a lot more like making a theme park or a casino, where you have customers entering at a given point, you give them choices on what kind of experience they can have in your game, and you give them clear signs and paths to choose from in order to make it easy for them. In the above section, we established that people play video games because they want to feel something specific. It’s a brief moment of agency in a day where you were otherwise probably at the mercy of some stupid bullshit at your job, or at school, or in your family, or on the bus, or whatever. We spend most of our day pushing the boulder up, and the brief moment of rest we get is choosing the video game we play in between eating dinner and going to sleep, where we get to act like the person we imagine ourselves to be as the boulder rolls back down the hill.

widdle potemkin is finally back in stock!!

check him out here: maddestmao.store/products/widdle-potemkin-1-mini-acrylic-charm

As petty of a critique this might seem, one of the main reasons I got into strive was because the game’s visuals and animations are so beautiful/look amazing. So it’s a big selling point for me to want to play/get good at a fighting game

Every time I think about trying to get good at street fighter 6, I look at the character modeling/art design and it’s just not it for me…

Bandai Namco’s 3d character models look so much better imo

Potemkin is gone. Kara’s were more of his soul than Buster was tbh. He’s now a clunky, low skill expression, run of the mill grappler.

This character meant so much to me. He got me to finally push through and play a fighting game, and at every single wall I said “do it for him”.

Honestly in tears

No cuz theyre removing one of my favorite aspects of my main 😭

Pot bros in shambles

I don't like Pot changes ngl. There is a solid chance he ends up stronger with the rework but man removing karas sounds so bad. The sauce is gone and all the practice and grind of the combo routing was for nothing.
