Much appreciated, but I don't see how you (or anyone else) chiming in would disrupt the conversion...especially since there's a solid page of off-subject conversations, which I again blame myself for.
Welp, can't say I'm surprised. Going into the fighting game genre fairly blind, more so towards anime fighters since they look twice as hard as..."normal" fighters?
However there's still something to what I said at least! DBZ's popularity, I dunno how popular GG and BB are, but I reckon there's a much larger community behind DBZ. I also have no idea how in-depth the interactions are in DBZF's "Pixel Lobby", so there's the chance it will be the same as TFH(?). If not, I don't think players would care all that much about TFH more in-depth Lobby as opposed to DBZ just having a lobby, because of what each game is about overall.

Hardcore and Nintendo gamer...I can only assume you mean you are a speed-runner from this >.>.
Question! Why do you play Smash but no other fighting game? Like why are you interested in this game since it's not a Smash clone?
Note: I have also followed this game since Fighting is Magic and hoped for it's success as well, but I don't see myself playing this game nearly as much as I play Smash or be as hyped for it like I would for Smash.
So your hype stems from being an Lawyer Friendly Equines fan? If this was an RPG or Smash Clone, would you still have the hype you have now for it?
Could you elaborate on "exposing new people to the culture of this game"? As far as I know, TFH is a fighting game that doesn't do anything to differently from other fighting games that would attract a plethora of different people, outside of bringing the Lawyer Friendly Equines fan-base into fighting games.
Unless what you meant by that was exposing the Lawyer Friendly Equines fan-base to fighting games. In which case my response would be: Fighting games have been around for generations now, the biggest draw, for the subject at hand, for people in the fan-base to try-out this specific fighting game would be because of it being Lawyer Friendly Equines-ish (since the roots of the game started as an Lawyer Friendly Equines game and TFH has Lauren Faust making the art for the game).
What if they had a competition for 1 fan made character making it into the game? Or they announced Cross-play?
To your most recent response:
Both are anime fighters o3o...
That they are, but in the end, a fighting game is a fighting game, its all about 1v1, last-man standing, combo central, supers, health bar, character specialties etc...
True, but you should still try and gather an audience. Battleborn didn't do that and look where it's at today. Lawbreakers was the newest game in a market flooding with Hero-Shooters, and look where that's at. Another example, for people not noticing a game because of other games releases, look at Titanfall 2, being a great game, but completely overshadowed by Battlefield 1 and CoD (because it was released inbetween these games).
True again, you cannot force any to play or like a game, but you can still present your game to them and explain the differences between your game and others. Quote from somewhere I heard before: The only time something becomes %0, is when you give up.
So far yes, because otherwise they wouldn't have made the money to make the game, but I could argue no, because of how "dead" the forums are, at least compared to others.
Note: Apologies if you felt like I was coming after you at any point, since I was like, disputing everything you said xP or at least commenting on everything you said. I have no ill will towards you or your views and I respect your opinion
