This is just a theory craft from intuition and observation only. Pride never did any statistical research to test his theory
Esports devs are too afraid of making anything too good so they just make everything equally bad and boring
Older esports games are broken as fuck. Halo 1's pistol kills in 3 HSs (Head Shot) which takes less than 1 second. Halo 2 nerfed its main gun, the battle rifle, to kill in 11 bullets, or 4 3-bullet bursts. Then Halo 3 further nerfed it by changing the bullet sp...

What better way is there to tell esports gamers "this is the shit you want" than to show the pros on stage using the same equipment?
What do gamers even think when they see a mere logo on screen taking up space? "WTF is this shit? Clutter? WTF do they even sell?"

Flawed
1st of all, the pacing of this anime is the slowest as fuck thing I've ever seen. And its 2nd worst flaw is how confusingly the show explains things. Just watch episode/movie 8 for these flaws in their purest form. Like 25 minutes of it is the main protagonist girl, Shiki, saying honestly nothing that can't be compressed to a tweet-length few sentences (She was born without a soul, but then her soulless body created a soul, and she created 2 opposite personalities in her, and her previ...

I'd make it an FTP multiplayer game with DLC campaign missions. The game is by far played more for MP than SP. Why not invest more resources into that aspect instead? If there's no base price (of $60 each year), there'll be far less complaints of RNG DLC ruining the game by locking out functional content. It's less of an annual financial throwaway for the players. The lucky items they get, they can keep forever
And for the small minority that (somehow) likes CODs campaigns, they can optionall...

1 thing quarantine taught Pride is to stop having material possessions. He has a long history of buying shit because he has a replenishing source of money called a job which made him not care about how much money he has because he'll always regenerate more. He also has a history of giving/throwing shit away because he ends up not needing those things anymore
"Less is more" is a stupid phrase because of its blatant contradiction. Maybe "less is better" communicates the idea better. Minimalism ...

Esports is a business and businesses need money. 1 tournament runner & streamer streams at a horse racing venue that's in poorasfuck town and the place is so much worse than their previous venue, in Pride's opinion. He went there once and never wants to go back there again. But also they're like 50 miles away from his house anyways. Still, they are a really famous local tournament & stream team. He'd rather go to a tournament that's closer and in a better venue. They only food ...

Unpopular opinion among Smashers, but they hate this new controller called the Smash Box that looks wanky as fuck yet somehow has huge advantages
More than half of the community is adamantly against this because it's different. Really. Smashers aren't used to controllers that aren't Gamecube pads. Other fighting games are perfectly fine with players using arcade sticks which have undeniable advantages like faster access to buttons and better control stick control. Smash is a fighting game...

In most fighting games, you have a certain type of move called "specials" which you do a certain control stick motion then hit a button. Ryu's hadouken, for example, is quarter-circle forward + punch. And then there are supers which activate when you do a more complex series of inputs, like shinku hadouken, double quarter-circle forward + punch
The problem occurs when you change characters. The series of inputs for their specials also change. Chun-Li, for example, has none of the same command...

Anecdotal stories time, yay!
So 1 time I was in the mall in line at Panda Express and a woman approached me asking if I could pay for her meal because she has 2 kids to feed. I just automatically gave her $1 without a thought. But then she asked for more. So then I just awkwardly stared at her and noticed a significant detail around her neck that only then struck my attention like a nail. She was wearing a pearl necklace! Even if it's fake, you can't pretend to look rich while asking for mone...
