Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/09/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet, scattered week (18 comments) mostly made up of in-jokes about Ghost Rider/Doom quotes, with a thread of skepticism about price and content; no heavy new topic emerges, the week mostly extends debates already in motion.

Price worries linger

A longtime commenter calls fighting games 'too light on content for full price' and says he'll wait for a price drop and the DLC.

« It looks awesome. But unfortunately fighting games are usually far too light in content to merit a full price. And waiting a year or two not only allows the price to go down, but also allows the DLCs to release. Great review though. Been here for a few years and always come here for fighting game reviews and games with a retro vibe. »

Leffen stirs reactions

Several comments discuss Leffen's presence around the game, mixing jokes about his streamer habits with satisfaction at seeing him booed in tournament.

« Ew they let Leffen play the video game. He'll probably say Tokon is 'HIS game' next like he did with Strive while only playing Spider-Man and complaining about everything. »

Difficulty questioned

One comment argues that easing the game mainly helps skilled players stomp beginners, a faint echo of ongoing depth complaints.

Sonicfox dominance fatigue

One comment voices fatigue over Sonicfox's repeated wins across multiple games, questioning the point of watching his matches.

Top reactions and controversies

The physical discs revolt

Dominant take

The topic that overshadows everything else: hundreds of comments hammer 'No disc, no buy' on nearly every video since July, denouncing PlayStation's announced end of physical games in 2028, amplified by PSN outages seen as proof of the danger of an all-digital future.

« Ghost Rider's head is on fire, resembling his rage at Sony ending physical discs. »

Doctor Doom's rave reception

Dominant take

Doom is a near-unanimous hit: ProZD's voice, animations, theme music and 'comically evil' writing spark massive enthusiasm from his very first showcase.

« I love how this version of Doom is not just using technological attacks, but also his magic as well. »

Regional blocking anger rises

Controversy

The game's blocking in over 100 countries without PSN access sparks outrage and boycott calls from some, while others see the whole disc controversy as overblown or off-topic.

75 % Anger at Sony/blocking 25 % Downplays or ignores the issue

Cyclops, the DLC surprise that delights

Dominant take

The reveal of Phoenix Cyclops as first DLC is met with humor and enthusiasm, celebrated as the crowning moment of a 'year of Cyclops' across multiple Marvel media.

« "1st DLC should be Cyclops" / "No, first DLC should be a villain" / Tokon: yes. »

Roster seen as too small

Controversy

Part of the community finds the launch roster too small for a 4v4 format and demands more characters, while others praise each character's depth and stylistic variety.

55 % Roster too small 45 % Quality over quantity

The competitive scene energizes comments

Dominant take

Tournaments, commentary duos and streamers (Sonicfox, Doto, Lotus) generate strong enthusiasm, mixing technical admiration with closely-followed friendly rivalries.

« Damn, Deion was HURT after that last video with Doto. »
