Potentially hot take incoming but idc. I sincerely believe that if Riot had gone forward with the original plan of their platform fighter (Pool Party) and gone a Melele-esque route that game would be all over everyone’s timelines even today. FGC saturation is a real thing, and there’s legit maybe only 4 relevant Platform Fighters played by a large number of people, dominated of course by Smash. Famously, Riot saw what happened to MultiVersus and they got spooked. I want to remind everyone that MVS at one point had over 150,000 concurrent players on Steam, which is absolutely mind boggling to think about for a platform fighter. But the failure of MVS was due to strange dev decisions - such as their decision to keep the game extremely floaty and slow after a 2 year hiatus - I don’t think this is a mistake Riot would have made, especially after seeing the good polish that 2XKO has. I truly hope they give Pool Party one last good attempt because it really could have been the one.
