It really did and it makes me sad. I got into GG back in 97. Rented it and bio-broly and me and my cousins liked it so much I "accidently" ripped a page from the book it came with so moms had to buy it instead. Some of the most enjoyable characters ever and they reduced them to stereotypes with a focus on pandering to these autistic ass niggas. Knowing this is the direction the games taking in the future too feels like hearing Toriyama died again
looking at releases my friend got me into the series around the time XX came out, we played it a bunch and liked the aesthetics setting setup music even while basically everyone else besides his brother and his brother's friends around us were playing the smashes instead
sad this is what daisuke thinks longtime fans wanted smfh
