I backed this game and think its coming along quite well, however, who outside of those who backed TFH will be buying the game, especially with so many fighters that came out or will be coming out? What makes TFH stand out from the crowd? You could easily say "its a fighting game with animals inspired by Lawyer Friendly Equines", but I would say that turns people off, seeing as people view Lawyer Friendly Equines as childish and would say that making a fighting game of it would be comical. There's the Magic system, but MvC:I, for example, has the Infinity Stones, which would people rather go to? I'll give it to thew Pixel Lobby, being an upgrade from normal fighting game lobbies, but I don't think people would care all that much, at least not enough to buy TFH over Ex. DBZF.
Then we have the casuals, the people who keep a game lively, what does this game do for them? I mean the genre is already niche enough, so what does this game offer them? It's still a fighting game, every bit as hard as the next. What's the draw for them? TFH has the appearance of a "casual" fighting game, but it's a lie. When the casuals start to play and get demolished, odds are they will quit faster then if they are to play another fighting game, 1 because the cute animals was a cover up for how hard the game is and 2 because they don't know anyone so they have no drive to play as anyone.
I have little to NO experience with fighting games, so I haven't the foggiest idea on what to suggest. The only thing I can say is that the little experience I have with fighting games, is from Super Smash Bros., being casual enough for me while being hardcore enough to see in EVO.
