It fucking sucks that the fighting genre can't let go of previous titles. We've literally been a 'crabs in a bucket' genre for years because as everything new comes out, it's either a follow up to a previous IP, a game made by fans of some broken piece of shit that would change properties depending on the port or a niche game that dies out within a month of purchase.

SF6 should not be as popular as it is, because Capcom shat the bed hard with their last entries that people should lose faith in them, but instead they get a massive success because players can't pick up a new title and instead go back to a popular IP. We can't have newer games succeed at tournaments, or even be played because people would rather play the same classic games these companies put out 20 years ago that only 20 people played but everyone in their community hyped as the best, most deepest fighting game ever.

Content creators won't check out niche fighters without getting paid because they'd rather grind ranked in mainstay titles or they love that good nepotism that comes with the games. Max doesn't even care about Invincible but he's 'interested' because it's Iron Galaxys former team, who he worked with. Everyone was 'interested' in DNF Duel and hyping it up as 8ing kino, before it came out and died like a wet fart.

The whole genre is cursed and deserves to flounder with these autists constantly bringing stuff back. Love this genre, I fucking hate how many hours I've put into it.
