After the GG2020 gameplay stream, an interview with director of Riot's fighting game.

00:00 - 00:05 We'd been dreading this day... Crunch time! ArcSys gameplay footage!

00:05 - 00:07 Sink or Swim! We were terrified!

00:07 - 00:10 The FGC's... their champion.

00:11 - 00:16 Competing for hardcore players is our biggest hurdle. Gives me butterflies.

00:17 - 00:21 They took out all the mechanics!

00:21 - 00:24 No combos!

00:29 - 00:31 No combos!

00:31 - 00:34 They're doing the casual thing like StreetFighter!

00:38 - 00:40 I-

00:41 - 00:47 I can't believe it. We hired committees to try to get this market. Paid bundles of cash.

00:47 - 00:50 They served them to us on a platter.

00:50 - 00:56 Gutted their game entirely!

00:58 - 00:59 No setplay!

00:59 - 01:01 They only have a song!

01:04 - 01:06 They knew we are developing a game...

01:06 - 01:08 and did it anyway!

01:13 - 01:14 And now,

01:14 - 01:16 they think they'll get the casuals!

01:16 - 01:20 They don't know your characters!

01:21 - 01:27 We'll be free-to-play! They don't even know of you!

01:35 - 01:36 Now these weeaboos...

01:36 - 01:39 have to play French Bread. Which-

01:41 - 01:44 Wait! Wait! Seriously! It's, it's

01:44 - 01:47 an honest game that rewards people who

01:47 - 01:49 love to

01:50 - 01:53 sit and block.

01:54 - 01:56 Told the team...

01:56 - 01:58 "Up the timetable."

01:58 - 02:02 "Get the game out. Who cares if it's well balanced? Casuals?"

02:05 - 02:07 And now...

02:10 - 02:11 those who... those who...

02:11 - 02:13

02:15 - 02:17 want a deep game,

02:17 - 02:20 have us, or an ArcSys game that doesn't have oki!

02:21 - 02:28 But we'll have a playerbase, updates, and online GGPO that actually works!

02:29 - 02:30 They'll pick you?

02:30 - 02:32 'Have to!

02:36 - 02:39 There's no difference anymore!

02:40 - 02:42 I'm getting a raise, now.

02:50 - 02:55 Because of another publisher's gameplay stream.

02:56 - 02:58 What about Capcom and Street Fighter?

02:58 - 03:05 What about them? Their scene is based on paychecks. It is already a done deal.

03:05 - 03:09 250,000 dollars? Their pros will jump like fucking kangaroos.

03:09 - 03:11 Nobody left now.

03:16 - 03:20 They took out combos.

03:23 - 03:26 Guilty Gear without setplay!
