How many times can I put +R down before hitting the character limit?

But seriously, +R is probably my only undying classic that I'll always go back to. I enjoy melty on a more casual level and whatever BB revision is newest for fun, but other than that, it's just a rotating set of poverty games.

In terms of screwing around and just fun had with them.

3S.

I liked Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior/Resurrection whatever you wanna call that particular Darkstalkers.

Heritage for the Future.

The new KI I wanna give some mention to because while I didn't ever have much connection to the old ones beyond "I've played them", I've enjoyed the new one a whole lot since PC release.

Also UMK3 for being what it was.

- It had virtually zero marketing
- The League of Legends-style monetization and grinding drove off new players
- Matchmaking was split into literally six or seven mutually exclusive queues + custom games, dividing the already tiny playerbase so you could never find a game
- You weren't allowed to join the main queue with two friends, you had to create a team, a team could only consist of exactly the same three players and you couldn't have more than two or three teams (I forget the exact number) without paying money to buy more

That's probably why it failed, but on a more personal level, a bunch of my friends who were totally up for League of Legends or whatever, whom I did my best to convince of how good it was, really didn't want to play it. They were contrarian teenagers so I never really got an explanation out of them but something about that game just made people not want to play it. The League of Legends monetization stuff wasn't even in the game at the time, I don't think, and I don't remember having that hard a time finding matches. Fuckers just didn't want to play a good-rear end game with me.

You also have to remember that BLC actually has pretty high skill demands, which is the exact opposite of what most people want when they play a MOBA

Riot had (has?) exclusivity agreements that prevented events (e.g. dreamhack) from hosting similar games.

They also more recently attempted to ban teams with LoL teams from having teams for other mobas.

esports is loving garbage.

blc was dead before riot even had an esports division dude. you can project that in other ways sure, but blc was straight up doorknob status before player contracts were even a thing.

Kind of sounds like it's just Riot that is garbage

Riot also bought out Radiant or whoever and cancelled Rising Thunder.

Just to poo poo on Riot some more in the topic of fighting-y stuff because they're trash garbage, even if I didn't care all that much about Rising Thunder.

Yeah, in retrospect, getting acquired by a bigger company was probably the endgame of Rising Thunder anyway

And I know there's been murmurs of Riot doing something fighting game related for a long time now, so it all plays out perfectly

Though I dunno if Tencent would appreciate competing with themselves

most of the playstation allstar dudes that didnt move onto radiant all got jobs at riot and a few radiant employees worked at riot before moving over to radiant.

This describes like 90% of fighters though.

Probably helps that you only need two people interested in getting good to play fighting games than teams of em ALA mobas.
