    Combo breaker is still more than two months out, and I'm pretty sure there won't be a mass NRS Tekken revival after EVO. The truth is that this is the exact same thing that happened with KI, Samsho, DBFZ, Strive, and SF6. And every time, we hear that this time it's different, the new game is...

    Is the game dying already?

    Not randomly. It was a targeted campaign that was started by a single Steam user, and now people are hopping on the bandwagon because "that sounds right" without bothering to verify even the most basic of facts. All of a sudden people care passionately about a company they didn't even know...

    And this is exactly what a balanced, rational, non-clickbait critique looks like. This is the opposite of what/who Pig was referring to in his post.

    Is the game dying already?

    This is complete nonsense. The company was founded by ex-Ubisoft employees. Kim Belair was working as a Narrative Designer before the company was founded, and David Bédard was a senior product manager. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/imagination-vs-immersion There's an serious level of...

    Pig has never claimed to be the MK police. He's just stating the obvious: that if people go way beyond constructive criticism into calling people at the company idiots, hacks, and losers, and trying to burn the entire competitive community to the ground for views.. Those same people shouldn't...

    New Era Podcast

    I feel a little compelled to speak about this, because I’m probably the person who talks to Pig most in the community. Some of the comments don’t reflect at all who he is. I’ll say it up front: Pig is not afraid to criticize the game.. Never has been. If you believe that, you haven’t been...

    Is the game dying already?

    Gonna clean this up.. This is one thing we can't put up with here. You can talk about merits, the meta of the game, etc, but witch-hunting specific people who have no control over what you're talking about is across the line. Don't do this.

    Is the game dying already?

    In 2024 most people in the FGC just don't use forums anymore. Twitter, Discord and Twitch are where most discussions happen these days. But the fact that TYM has outlived nearly every other FGC forum, including Shoryuken, 8WayRun, Tekken Zaibatsu etc. is a pretty cool thing. We won't be able...

    Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

    Namco added a mechanic to Tekken 8 to encourage offense, make certain inputs easier, and added chip damage etc. mostly to appease the casuals who said the matches weren’t exciting enough, the pace was too slow, etc. I don’t think any company is completely immune from this, it’s just becoming a...

    Is the game dying already?

    But our players have become good enough that simply having very good fundamentals is not enough to place. Now those players must actually be good at the ins and outs of how NRS games work, and many aren't able to bridge that gap. That's what Rude is talking about. The days of Chris G coming in...

    Is the game dying already?

    I think the standard isn't whether someone can beat the game's #1 player.. It's whether they can beat decent players, or place. There was a time when players of other games could absolutely could place in our games, even if they weren't beating the absolute best player to win the entire thing...

    Tekken 8 Post-Release Discussion Thread

    Tekken 5 and 7 both sold 10 million apiece, and were the only more recent fighting games to approach NRS game sales (12-15 mil). So it's definitely in the same ballpark.

    Is the game dying already?

    Simply existing in society as a minority or someone with preferences that aren’t the majority is not a ‘political ideology’. The point that was being missed is that people never complain about actual political ideologies, like media that pushes democracy or contains lessons about colonialism...
