2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

I tried the beta… the game is not bad, but trying to turn it into the FGC's Fortnite was a bizarre choice.

If you're trying to make money in the FGC and beyond, go the SF6 route, not whatever this was.

While SNK devotes most of its efforts toward its King of Fighters series, the Fatal Fury series has remained dormant for 25 years. With the former series already featuring many of Fatal Fury‘s characters, it’s hard to imagine why players familiar with SNK’s niche titles would make the switch.

I'm sorry, but this is terrible analysis. You may as well say no one would play Street Fighter because those characters are in Marvel Vs. Capcom.

The single player offering is weak. The author and I agree that has an impact on sales. The graphics aren't bad, but the presentation doesn't really floor you like some other recent fighting games do. SNK has had a rough go of it with the netcode in their games, and people were burned by the non-functional matchmaking in KOFXV for over a year; beta 1 for CotW made it look like history would repeat itself. Ronaldo doesn't help, but what would have helped is if, like Street Fighter and Tekken, it could have scored a 90 on review aggregators and been called a can't-miss game, but to do that, they'd have to address the above.

I'm surprised nobody's talking about the rapists and genociders that blood bought this game.

But everyone else ITT already said my thoughts on the game itself. Where's the big bad and high stakes story?

I was excited until they put real people in it. So they lost at least one sale trying to mainstream it (and probably paid out the nose to do so)

I'm aware of the franchise, but had no clue there was a new entry in it.
