I mean, say what you will about SF4 or MvC3's faults (and there are many) but in the end those are now beloved games in the FGC despite the doom-and-gloom prognostications they recieved before (and after) launch

people would rather play a bad game than a really bad gam,e

I think sonicfox makes flat out the most of the fighting game players in lump sum at least, and even he just kinda streams with no commentary IIRC.

In general most esports players get spurts of money and what they do from there with it is what makes or breaks them.
Usually the streamers who make the money, as you said, do one of 2 things, have a huge following already, play every single game possible and have a shtick.
Like that lifecoach guy invested super well but I'm not sure he counts because he invested poker money.
Lirik basically has a 9-5 thats streaming whatever.

14 is a good and fun game, but it's weird - it's really easy to get competent at if you're decent at fighting games but if you're kinda bad it's so difficult for some reason. More so than sf games or anime. "I have to learn THREE characters!?"

I see your point. But I would like to stress one thing - I've never felt like I've had all the answers, and my frustration comes from the fact that many of these games feel designed in a way that makes getting there feel like it's more difficult than it should be.

I'll see what I can pick up. I'm sorry I spoke of things so bluntly. It's just frustrating, especially when some people effectively gave me the reply of "you should just try harder".

you should stop trying and wait for the day your train comes in.

I probably didn't get my point across properly, but it wasn't about me trying to call fighting games bad about any of the things I mentioned (at least, not intentionally), just that they were things that I call barriers for new and inexperienced players, and when Sirlin says "I'm breaking down the barriers to make the gateway game" then I'm going to call him out on it if the barriers are just as big as ever, or if he half-asses the solution. Basically, there was nothing in fantasy strike that isn't done better by guilty gear's tutorials, just it doesn't have anyone claiming "gateway game".

Like I brought up the fighter archetypes because he just plops those down without explanation, and expects the new player to stop and look it up, or ask their friend on the couch if there is one. But that information is best learned by just picking a character and seeing them in action rather than "oh, well this guy is this archetype", because the new guy doesn't know the archetypes by name.

my point on that was if you have a friend who never played a fighting game before with you on your couch, would you say "character A is a zoner" or would you say "character A throws projectiles/uses knockback moves to control the field and maintain a certain distance"? Because the game does the first, when the 2nd is much closer to what the new player actually needs to know, and most people wouldn't and couldn't give their new friend on the couch a list of archetypes crosschecked by how well a character fits into them, or wait for the friend to google it.

they ccould google it on their phone you schween.

For top four the rule is that the even numbers are sad

1st is happy, he won
2nd is sad, he didn't get first
3rd is happy, at least he placed in the money
4th is sad, he didn't get in the money

That said yeah getting third from winner's finals is definitely rough, as is getting downloaded in gf from winners by a guy you put into losers in the first place

the download is sleep paralysis level of terror
