Debate Erupts Over Making Fighting Games for Everyone
Avataryaya's post drew replies debating whether fighting games should target the FGC or broader players.
TLDR
Avataryaya posted that fighting games should not be made for the FGC and should instead just be good video games. Mike Hollow replied that clipping a live stream remark into a video was a bad move. Vankil suggested the improved phrasing is that fighting games should not be made for just the FGC. ShaudL asked why fighting games alone cannot stay niche like other genres. TheCartelDel called the original claim ridiculous and said games should serve both the FGC and newcomers.

|| Kryll ||@KrillinDVillain@avataryaya_ There’s a big correlation with the “fgc-ness” of fighting games to come out these last few years and not even sustainability as video games and then these things just end up dying. Like the ceiling for these games can’t be top 8 at CEO with 15k on twitch
SS S3 Studios@S3Studios3@avataryaya_ Because apparently, being "a good video game" for fighting games means being every single thing except a fighting game, which I dunno. Sounds kinda retarded and like those people just don't wanna play a fighting game. No other genre gets this kinda crap.
BD BG The Media Destroyer@Bgmegamanzero1@avataryaya_ I couldn’t image any FPS player saying anything like this. It sounds clever but doesn’t hold. Only core fans stick with games and support them long term. Casuals hop to the next hot thing.
JH Joe Hines@trogdor2k5@TheCartelDel Almost as ridiculous as mischaracterizing other people's statements for internet clout. He literally says "Fighting games shouldn't be made SPECIFICALLY for the FGC
NO NoizyShark@NoizyShark@TheCartelDel Take the letters away and they're juat saying, "Fighting Games shouldn't be made for (People who enjoy playing Fighting Games)." Nonsense words.
FG FGC_MEMES@FgcMem@avataryaya_ If I guy wants to play a fighting game then he'll play a fighting game. Not a good idea to attract an audience that don't like fighting games
