To further go on about that video, I thought it was more along the fanbase wouldn't shut up about them not playing BlazBlue.

It is and that's why it's "A Good Video"™

Blazblue fans are their own special kind of dumb because it is the only FG with an extensive story that spans multiple games and is constantly supported. So you can imagine the sort of self-aggrandization that comes with that. That being said idk why they expected anything more than this since SBF have made it clear they don't like Blazblue.

The FGC does not like every fighting game. For the longest time, the Street Fighter/Marvel crowd actively harassed the smash crowd, and 3D players hung out with KoF players more than anyone else. Anime fighters rarely interact with anyone outside of their own niche.

It's like calling out the Twitch Community and thinking Hearthstone and CS: GO are the same fanbase.

Piss off the blazblue people all they want, the problem was the rest of us only got enjoyment out of it via comments and not the video itself which is the main problem.

They should've watched Eiken.

Again, would have loved to do the video better, cut to 3S footage or Xrd. When I think about it, we could have done it in a bevy of different ways, and it would have actually been funny after the first 5 mins, and actually had fight game footage. Also, wish the mics had been set up correctly. But this is all after the fact. You only know you've made mistakes after you've made them.

I think that's a fair decision. Honestly, seeing the game slowly morph into Guilty Gear and pretending nothing was changing would have been hilarious.

i really don't want to drag this arguement of semantics out, but its really like calling out the moba community to target fans of SMITE, more than it is like your example. you see, hearthstone and cs:go aren't really in the same genre, so your metaphor falls apart.

While I don't really play either, at least Guilty Gear I can look at and be like "Yeah! Sol is cool, that thing is cool, that poo poo looks cool."

BlazBlue though, I've never been able to do much but go "Ehhhhh" really.

Yea I thought it was funny, but I agree the idea to have like one round of BB lead to a 'crash' and then 'oh well third strike time' would have been funnier.

Oh well, I like trying to change up a bit in scrublord/fisticuffs and all, better to try and not nail it than completely ignore possibly fun ideas and all that jazz.

u should have played blazblue with secretly imposed limitations, like banning specials or heavy attacks. thats the way I would have trolled blazblue fans

I think it would've been good to do two videos, a gag one and then a real one uploaded the next day, so you get the outcry followed by immediately shutting them up. I think a lot of folks were particularly annoyed it was on Christmas, but I think Christmas pranks are all well and good, with the caveat that you make up for it with an actual thing later. Like a long time ago my friend's mom thought she'd really "get" her son by putting a gigantic lump of coal in his stocking covered by a smattering of candies, except that was it, there was no "here's your actual stocking!" so he was salty as gently caress.

In essence, you made a good gag but a flawed one, it had hilarious/unexpected consequences, and now your next prank can be that much better since you've learned from this one

just do a fisticuffs where the title of the video is Naruto whatever-the-name-is but the video is some other random scrublords-tier game and never acknowledge the video title at all, not even on twitter or podcast etc

Yeah, all this needed was some spliced-in footage from other games, and maybe spliced-in footage for the intro from Scrublords or something.


Actually, I'd like to see what a Friday Spite Fisticuffs intro would look like.

I know absolutely nothing about GG or BB and went into the fisticuffs video after everything knowing that there would be no gameplay, got 5 minutes in and stopped watching because Matt sounds like he's recording from down the hall and there are no pop filters on the new mics apparently. The actual content was fine to me though and seeing the really salty comments from both sides of the argument everywhere is entertaining.

Huh, I'm not much of an anime guy, I thought HxH was on an Berserk level of popularity/chapters never come out thing. I can see people being asses about it over a big 3 anime, I guess.

HXH comes out sporadically and is often on hiatus because the author has some kind of vague medical issue
