Yes, and people who don't are wrong.

Due to rising costs for the forum software we use I will likely be migrating the site to a different software package. User accounts and posts will probably not survive the migration. You will likely have to remake your accounts on the new software. This change will be happening some time in the coming month. Take the time now to back up any stuff you feel you need. In addition to the new software I will probably be adding at least one new moderator, since I don't have time to personally police the site like I used to. I suggest you join our Discord in case unforeseen complications occur and you need to contact me.

And you're going to keep all of it to yourself, right?

Man I don't pay attention for two days and some wild shit happened in here huh? Thanks @Sonerofor taking care of things while I was away. I have zero tolerance for that kind of shit. Thank you to everyone who let me know.

Wrong! I actually hang out in an arcade regularly and there are LOTS of total scrubs who like/try Strive. They're not even good at it. Strive has massive casual appeal, due to its graphics and the popularity of anime. There are DEFINITELY a lot of Strive players that are in the same boat as MK casuals. It's 2025. Hardcore anime fighting game players (Blazblue, etc.) are niche, but anime isn't. Strive has anime style and is really easy to pick up. It's very attractive for many.

It's very popular among new players and people who like the aesthetic. The vast majority of those people ARE new players, or players that aren't part of the traditional FGC. Actual FGC people are a tiny tiny minority of any game. We tend to forget that our numbers are so small in the grand scheme of things that we might as well not exist.

🙂 Seriously.

7/5/25: Software update There's a new version of the forum software we use and the price has gone up quite a lot. I may consider switching to different forum software in the future.

@VirginDefilerour country may be fucked, but please read the thread title. Thanks. 🫠

Better buy what you can now. It's tariff time.

Game is out! I'm having a lot of fun with it.
