Brawlhalla is like a high school lunch. You just grab whatever's there, be it pizza, soup, chicken, a sandwich, hoagie, hotdog, etc., eat it, and then go, and it's incredibly samey every day, aside from the few special days where they bring out a cake or have whole turkey legs for that special holiday that you end up appreciating. A lot of Brawlhalla matches and characters are like that, once you get down to brass tacks nearly every character is super samey because at the end they all have the same basic moveset, even if their specials look and feel different, but there's occasionally that one character that does something no other character can do that makes them feel just that tiny bit extra special and makes you want to keep coming back.
I figure it's the high school lunch because it's all you can afford to even get in the same way that you can get what little you can afford from it cheap off of steam. :P
brawlhalla is like a solid 3’x3’x3’ cube of garbage on a plate. it’s unpalatable, inedible, cumbersome, and made up of so much garbage that you can’t identify. the controls feel floaty and generally awkward, the characters feel so painfully generic and samey with ZERO personality, there’s nothing even redeeming about the soundtrack or the stage design. it retains none of the charm of the games it takes inspiration from. no one plays it, no one wants to play it. to have a full roster you have to buy the characters or invest a ridiculous amount of time into the game, no one likes mobile game monetization. worst of all, it’s not fun. even with friends that you genuinely love and enjoy being around, the game is just fucking dull and i would get more enjoyment from watching paint dry

I played Tekken when I was young, but I still prefer 2D fighting games. I have recently started getting into Tekken 7, and your “movement is the meat of the game” comparison actually helped me understand what the game is truly about and how to improve. Thanks for shedding a light.
Just like Hooters, as much as it's teased and implied, there's never any nudity or sex. You might still think twice about taking a minor there though :P
I feel like that’s more how SFV started, you can tell they started putting a lot more care into the game by Season 3 with stuff like new V-Triggers and V-Skills plus characters like G or Gill or Seth
I'll throw my two cents. Fighting EX Layer is like one of those local restaurants where you feel this sense of familiarity and hospitality, they have a unique signature style that is hard to replicate. A family recipe of sorts. Cheap, lacking in much, but it tastes good. Then there's Capcom vs SNK 2 which is probably a Bistro. Those indie fighting games are basically those Food Trucks, experimental meals that taste good, but you're not sure if you can get behind it after the first one until you find the right one that suits your palette. Lastly... If Smash Bros is a Buffet then MUGEN is a Potluck. Just build your own roster and fighting game to suit your tastes...It might be good, it might not be good, but...you have fun making it.
Capcom vs. SNK 2 is like a soft serve ice cream bar to me. (Think Orange Leaf) There's a lot of flavors to choose from, but they're not gonna be as bold as Marvel. But what makes it stand out is the *customization.* You can throw on sprinkles and chocolate chips on your strawberry mango sherbet swirl, just like how, in CVS2, there's a bountiful amount of customization options matching up your characters with the groove system.

In that sense, I suppose I could see BlazBlue as a pizza. You got the central mechanics like super overdrive, bursting and what have you, which are the dough, the tomato sauce and the cheese. What makes BlazBlue special however is the variety in how characters play, acting as the toppings. While you're all playing the same game, the approach that your character brings to it gives it a whole new feel and texture. Maybe you just like the basic ham and pepperoni, guys like Ragna or Makoto. Maybe you like something more with a specific appeal like Azrael, Tager or Terumi, the blue cheese or mushrooms of BlazBlue. Maybe you're the kind of guy that likes stuff like clams or banana on your pizza, that very specific way you enjoy having your pizza. Much like characters like Arakune or Susanoo have an appeal in being so out there. Be your tastes what they are, what you are getting out of BlazBlue is quite different than someone else, depending on your choice of character.
At the time he meant degenerate like pancakes for a different meal other than breakfast. Like those people who might have them for a late night dinner in the middle of the night after partying out in the middle of the night. At least I recall it as something like that.
@@d.h.6984 technically a buffet can be only a snack when how much you eat is entirely dependent on how much *you* actively decide to grab. not that hungry? grab a couple slices of sourdough bread * , put them in the toaster ** , and you will be pretty damn satisfied with your experience even if you probably spent even less time eating/playing than you did preparing. * (Gannon comand-grab, Bowser comand-grab, Charazard Flareblitz) ** (go into the training room for like 5 minutes and learn how to actually hit an opponent with those moves semi reliably)
This is actually my favorite video he's made in a long ass time. A funny video for fans and a weird but informative look at these games for people who aren't too knowledgeable about fighting games.
I think Jump Force (or games in that realm) is a like a mixed candy bag. Variety in sugary, kind of mediocre, candy that you’d feel better sharing with your friends… but nobody is going to have a full meal eating a mixed candy bag.
Power Ranger: Battle for the Grid is a Juice Bar. (PR fans know which one I'm talking about) Their smoothies are cheap(ly priced), the interior design is stuck in the mid-90s, the menu is quite small. And yet, you can tell by the taste that they're doing their best with the limited means they have. As for the menu, they're actually adding new flavors every months. Primal Rage is like an old Dinosaur-themed fast-food restaurant, with the 5 floors kids playground to go along. The menu is nothing that hasn't been cooked somewhere else, but they make it work by using jurassic theme-naming and sticking to it. And when they disappear, you can't help but be nostalgic about their cheesy, yet charming attempt. DefJam: Fight for NY is an officially sanctionned nightclub, with famous rappers coming to perform every nights (and fight too). But then a shareholder fired the entire staff and tried to turn it into a Mainstream Karaoke. Unsurprisingly, it failed. ...And Rise of the Robots is a Trump Steakhouse.
I am so happy, as a mexican, that you made a distinction between texmex and and real mexican food. You know, everyone who I know has only been eating texmex and then they taste our food gets their mind blown
Melty blood is like the meal that you made when you were high as a kite with your buddies, and you had it then and you all agreed that it was some of the best shit, but you come back when you aren't high, try it, and be suprised about how good it still is, even though it's still not too good for you. Edit: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is like a small mom and pop restaurant that's super funkin good, but you only see about 20 or so people go there, but they go religiously
Did he come up with this on the spot??? This shit is so well thought-out and accurate it's just plain genius I can't believe be didn't write this beforehand.
I feel like MUGEN is pizza, because there are nearly infinite combinations of ingredients. And if you play the broken characters, it's like putting pineapple on it.
I would agree but I feel pizza at least has some consistency, where with someone showing you their own custom mugen you literally dont even know what's in it until you pick it apart or take a bite
Yeah! It's like artisan pizza with some unique flavors that people don't expect to go together, but somehow they do, and the end result is mindblowing!
We thought max was just a fighting game connoisseur, but little did we know he was a food connoisseur and the fact he combined them together makes him a genius.
I'd have to say most of this was extremely accurate. That being said I play a lot of SFV, but I absolutely agree that it's kind of the McDonald's of fighting games. It's fast, it's going to damage your insides, and it's affordable. On the good side, you know exactly what you're getting, every time, there's no real curve balls with SFV.
Snk Heroines is like a maid cafe. It takes a very specific type of man to willingly walk into one. And it takes another type of man to walk in and enjoy himself. You’ll certainly judge him for it, but you can’t say he’s not enjoying himself.

Fantasy Strike is like toast. It is derived from a very basic, very versatile formula (bread), but it became something specific and distinct because of it.
Fantasy Strike is a meal from a bad hole-in-the-wall restaurant. No care was taken in it’s presentation, it lacks a distinctive flavor, and there are way better options you could have had instead if you had just put in some more gas money to go down the block. You could have had a better time at the Mexican place, where it’s a bit pricier. After you get over the heat of the meal, you might find a new favorite. Fuck Fantasy Strike, if you need a simple fighting game, play Tough Love Arena, but otherwise just jump into a more fleshed-out game.
@@logandunlap9156 I respect your opinion, and yes, on my own, I'd go for anything else But fantasy strike's simplicity has gotten a friend or two of mine into fgs before finding deeper things
I'd argue it's like a simple, unsalted grilled cheese. It's not the most enthralling and addictive experience, and it's definitely made with simple ingredients, but it tastes alright even on a bad day and even great when you just need to kick back with a snack. You'll either have to eat a lot more of it or get a more filling meal to feel sated thought
M.U.G.E.N it's like a grocery store. It's filled with food products of different qualities in flavors. Sometimes you'll get something bad, sometimes you get something good. 😊
Very accurate. And you find one thing you want, only to notice there's another brand of the same item the same price and you spend a while just comparing the two trying to tell which one to buy. Some are obviously cheaper, and others fancier. Then you'll try to get other foods of the same brand as that one thing you enjoyed. Reuben brand Mayo and Ketchup, godly stuff! And then, you get brave. You buy ingredients and decide you're gonna make something yourself. That's what I did and now I'm one of the best chefs around! So often it feels like takeout aint worth the cost at all when my own cooking can surpass it.

Oh my, yo Max, I gotta say as a long time fan of your content (and I’ll admit there was some rough patches) this is my favorite video from you and one of your best ever. The editing, the points you made, the way you delivered the points, and the presentation all were really well handled. If anyone wanted to know why you are one of the top fighting game brands out there, this video proves why. That is all- Alexzander Lovehall
This is one of the best discussions Max has ever had. And me being someone still celebrating the Skullgirls Release Party? Yeah, I can buy Skullgirls being some fancy tiramisu.
Remember some time ago in one of his streams, when Max and company were singing every new song the commented donations were popping out? That was nuts and hilarious.
Not 100% correct, but extremely close. Pho itself has an accent mark on the "o," meaning you need to say it so the vowel itself goes up in pitch towards the end of the word. Max has been the closest I've heard, in recent memory, to get the pronunciation that close though, so mad props to him.
"I've been to a Hooters in my time!" ~Maximillian Dood, December 2019 😂😂😂 This is legit one of the most unexpectedly creative and accurate descriptions of fighting games. "Hooters, there is definitely a fighting game in there." - Maximilian Dood dec 2019
RandomBlackGamer I don’t remember whattaburger being ‘bad’, I think it’s more of a case of all fast food is terrible nowadays. Every chain food store I’ve been to in the last few years has been Awful!
We had one in the town I grew up in and it was complete trash. Greasy in a bad way and it did not have anywhere near the flavor of Five Guys or something like that. It went out of business a long time ago, for good reason. When I started hearing people from up north talking about how they wish Whattaburger was down here, I can't help but laugh.
Lethal League is like a reeeaally good sandwich. The most basic thing can be great. Lethal League is just advanced dodgeball mixed with baseball. A sandwich from a place like Jimmy John's, Which Wich, a local place, or Jason's Deli can have so much flavor. Lethal League has the most interesting gameplay, some of the best character designs, and quite possibly the best soundtrack of any fighting game. There's so much to it, and it's just amazing when you bite into the sandwich. Flavors that you wouldn't really combine turn out to be really good and then you put some chips into your sandwich and that thing comes ALIVE.
I love this comparison. Also, if you think about it, for the right person, if you add some heat into the sandwich, if the game gets hot (i.e. the ball becomes really fast) its like MvC, where it just triggers the happy spot of our febble human brain and we just explode with excitement.
@@crimsonwizahd2358 hmmm... uuuh maybe like a mix of smash bros and a game like lethal league or just a super simple fighting game Oh I know! Maybe like Smash Bros Crusade, a budget, smaller and simpler smash thats basically flash almost.
I think Lethal League is the donut they tried to compare Soul Calibur with. With a single bite you can feel every single flavor it has to offer at once,its explosive,but simple and affortable,just like when you get into Lethal League you inmediatly get it,you know EXACTLY what type of game Lethal League is and it has no fear to show what type of game it is.
So what would Blazblue be? I think blazblue is either Okonomiyaki or Takoyaki. There's a ton of weird things on and in it to the point where you don't quite understand what it is or what it's going to taste like until you dig in and once you do you're left even more confused than when you started eating... but it's good when you try it regardless
Blazblue is the mongolian bbq of fighting games, every character has their own unique individual flavor they prefer, and most people only think about it once or twice a year.
Under Night In Birth is Italian food. Not everyone is into it. They can say they've dabbled into it in some cases (BBTag is the Olive Garden of fighting games fyi, yes I know what I said), but it takes a bit to get used to because of how much it's unlike any other country's cuisine. UNIST isn't like Blazblue or Guilty Gear; it's its own thing, its own craft. There's no food quite like the pasta dishes Italy thinks of; even gelato is unique in a way. But the people who eat Italian food, the people who've play UNIST since UNIEL, love it to death. They've honed its craft like a family tradition since day 1. Take it away and you're gonna pay. No, seriously, have you seen Italians reacting to the coronavirus? It's crazy.
bigshady680 so you’re saying that only black people do crack? Now that’s racist Let people do whatever drugs they want without their race being a factor Let a black man become a meth head, let a white man get lit off of codine. This is America god dammit
if Skullgirls is Tiramisu and Flan, then Them's Fightin' Herds has got to be... Carnival food that you'd get at the state fair. Most people look at candied bacon and Deep Fried Pumpkin Pie and Deep-Fried Nutella and are probably like "WTF, I ain't puttin' that in my body!" ... and then you do and it's FUCKING DELICIOUS! sometimes it's meaty and hearty and tastes like chicken even though it's fried alligator covered in powdered sugar, and sometimes it's got enough of a sweet treat to hype you through the rest of the fare! Most people only really wanna have state fare food once, though, and normally don't go out of their way to have it.
I supported the kickstarter for both games, and I'm having trouble getting in to both of them. The frontloaded complexity and mechanics are a lot for me to handle. I just picked up my first fight stick the other week, so hopefully this round of jumping into a fighting game will work better. I'm also still holding a grudge for the shutdown of Fighting is Magic, and I wish I was in an alternate universe where that was developed, and where I got to see what the developers wanted to do with all the other characters.

Before this started i was immediately thinking how GG is mexican food too On top of what you mentioned i think the spice is a defining factor (in GGs case things like RC and other in depth mechanics). It can be intimidating for those who arent used to it, but its one of defining aspects, and adds a level of depth once youre used to it that youd miss if it were taken out.
"Pancakes are the 'down one' of Virtua Fighter..." good lord this man needs to be CELEBRATED! I was like "this video is gonna be dumb" but it was the opposite.
Pure facts. I remember back in 93 and saw the VF arcade cabinet for the first time, my 9 y/o mind was thinking we're in the future. Given its the first commercially avaliable 3D fighting game at its time (to my knowledge) I can understand where Max is going with comparing VF to a hearty breakfast.
I feel Max is trying to bring here in his ingenuity is that every fighting games are basically edible by the mind so long we chew the buttons correctly. Brilliant 👍🏻
I thought this video was going to be about how you need to switch up what you eat every now and then because if you eat one thing for an extremely large amount of time, you get sick of it. That’s like how if you compete in ONE fighting game, you don’t enjoy it like you used to anymore. I was wrong, but this was even more entertaining😂
Rivals of Aether is fish fillet. It's refined and particular but not as specific or straightforward as steak, and there's so much variety on what the sides can be that you will eventually find something that compliments the solid core
Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers, to me, is that local restaurant that's been around for a long time and still going strong due to its quality. It may not bring in a ton of people, but those that support it are life-long supporters, and while other restaurants around them are growing in size, they're content with the long-time friends and fans they've made along the way.

So simplistic yet refined, something you've never had before. And then you ask the chef, "Are there any other dishes like this," and he just says, "No."
I played Tekken when I was young, but I still prefer 2D fighting games. I have recently started getting into Tekken 7, and your “movement is the meat of the game” comparison actually helped me understand what the game is truly about and how to improve. Thanks for shedding a light.
"DOA is Hooters."
Perfect analogy is perfect.
"Oh is she working tonight? Let's go on down."
It was glorious. Excellent comment too.
DOA = 🦉👀🍗
Just like Hooters, as much as it's teased and implied, there's never any nudity or sex.
You might still think twice about taking a minor there though :P
its the perfect answer because its both a one line wham and it makes total sense if you break it down and think about it
Friend: "What fighting game should I play?"
Me: "Boi, I hope you aren't hungry!"
I'd say SFV is more like Applebees: high quality food, but prepared in a fast, cheap way.
God damn--that is too accurate!
I feel like that’s more how SFV started, you can tell they started putting a lot more care into the game by Season 3 with stuff like new V-Triggers and V-Skills plus characters like G or Gill or Seth
Applebee's where i live kinda suck completely, so season 1 SFV?
That’s a pretty good comparison!
I think you’re giving Applebees too much credit, my friend. However, I’d be lying if I said I never wanna go in there
I'll throw my two cents. Fighting EX Layer is like one of those local restaurants where you feel this sense of familiarity and hospitality, they have a unique signature style that is hard to replicate. A family recipe of sorts. Cheap, lacking in much, but it tastes good. Then there's Capcom vs SNK 2 which is probably a Bistro.
Those indie fighting games are basically those Food Trucks, experimental meals that taste good, but you're not sure if you can get behind it after the first one until you find the right one that suits your palette.
Lastly... If Smash Bros is a Buffet then MUGEN is a Potluck. Just build your own roster and fighting game to suit your tastes...It might be good, it might not be good, but...you have fun making it.
That is one of the most accurate descriptions of MUGEN I've ever heard, lol
Anime games are like food trucks. Brilliant comparison
Capcom vs. SNK 2 is like a soft serve ice cream bar to me. (Think Orange Leaf)
There's a lot of flavors to choose from, but they're not gonna be as bold as Marvel. But what makes it stand out is the *customization.* You can throw on sprinkles and chocolate chips on your strawberry mango sherbet swirl, just like how, in CVS2, there's a bountiful amount of customization options matching up your characters with the groove system.

In that sense, I suppose I could see BlazBlue as a pizza. You got the central mechanics like super overdrive, bursting and what have you, which are the dough, the tomato sauce and the cheese. What makes BlazBlue special however is the variety in how characters play, acting as the toppings. While you're all playing the same game, the approach that your character brings to it gives it a whole new feel and texture. Maybe you just like the basic ham and pepperoni, guys like Ragna or Makoto. Maybe you like something more with a specific appeal like Azrael, Tager or Terumi, the blue cheese or mushrooms of BlazBlue. Maybe you're the kind of guy that likes stuff like clams or banana on your pizza, that very specific way you enjoy having your pizza. Much like characters like Arakune or Susanoo have an appeal in being so out there. Be your tastes what they are, what you are getting out of BlazBlue is quite different than someone else, depending on your choice of character.

This is actually my favorite video he's made in a long ass time. A funny video for fans and a weird but informative look at these games for people who aren't too knowledgeable about fighting games.
I think Jump Force (or games in that realm) is a like a mixed candy bag.
Variety in sugary, kind of mediocre, candy that you’d feel better sharing with your friends… but nobody is going to have a full meal eating a mixed candy bag.

Power Ranger: Battle for the Grid is a Juice Bar. (PR fans know which one I'm talking about)
Their smoothies are cheap(ly priced), the interior design is stuck in the mid-90s, the menu is quite small. And yet, you can tell by the taste that they're doing their best with the limited means they have. As for the menu, they're actually adding new flavors every months.
Primal Rage is like an old Dinosaur-themed fast-food restaurant, with the 5 floors kids playground to go along. The menu is nothing that hasn't been cooked somewhere else, but they make it work by using jurassic theme-naming and sticking to it. And when they disappear, you can't help but be nostalgic about their cheesy, yet charming attempt.
DefJam: Fight for NY is an officially sanctionned nightclub, with famous rappers coming to perform every nights (and fight too). But then a shareholder fired the entire staff and tried to turn it into a Mainstream Karaoke. Unsurprisingly, it failed.
...And Rise of the Robots is a Trump Steakhouse.
Battle for the Grid as a Juice Bar? THAT makes a whole lot of sense, especially when the Rangers always hangout in a Juice Bar!
One of the deepest fighting games analysis ever.
I am so happy, as a mexican, that you made a distinction between texmex and and real mexican food. You know, everyone who I know has only been eating texmex and then they taste our food gets their mind blown

tekken is like eating crab. it takes so damn long to even see the flesh, and it’s not necessarily for everyone, but if you’re into it, it’s amazing

Melty blood is like the meal that you made when you were high as a kite with your buddies, and you had it then and you all agreed that it was some of the best shit, but you come back when you aren't high, try it, and be suprised about how good it still is, even though it's still not too good for you.
Edit: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is like a small mom and pop restaurant that's super funkin good, but you only see about 20 or so people go there, but they go religiously

I feel like MUGEN is pizza, because there are nearly infinite combinations of ingredients.
And if you play the broken characters, it's like putting pineapple on it.

It's fast, it's going to damage your insides, and it's affordable. On the good side, you know exactly what you're getting, every time, there's no real curve balls with SFV.

Fantasy Strike is like toast. It is derived from a very basic, very versatile formula (bread), but it became something specific and distinct because of it.
Fantasy Strike is a meal from a bad hole-in-the-wall restaurant. No care was taken in it’s presentation, it lacks a distinctive flavor, and there are way better options you could have had instead if you had just put in some more gas money to go down the block.
You could have had a better time at the Mexican place, where it’s a bit pricier. After you get over the heat of the meal, you might find a new favorite.
Fuck Fantasy Strike, if you need a simple fighting game, play Tough Love Arena, but otherwise just jump into a more fleshed-out game.
@@logandunlap9156
I respect your opinion, and yes, on my own, I'd go for anything else
But fantasy strike's simplicity has gotten a friend or two of mine into fgs before finding deeper things
I'd argue it's like a simple, unsalted grilled cheese. It's not the most enthralling and addictive experience, and it's definitely made with simple ingredients, but it tastes alright even on a bad day and even great when you just need to kick back with a snack. You'll either have to eat a lot more of it or get a more filling meal to feel sated thought
M.U.G.E.N it's like a grocery store. It's filled with food products of different qualities in flavors. Sometimes you'll get something bad, sometimes you get something good. 😊
Accurate
And you have to look for the good stuff to make a good meal yourself(custom MUGENs)
Very accurate. And you find one thing you want, only to notice there's another brand of the same item the same price and you spend a while just comparing the two trying to tell which one to buy. Some are obviously cheaper, and others fancier. Then you'll try to get other foods of the same brand as that one thing you enjoyed. Reuben brand Mayo and Ketchup, godly stuff!
And then, you get brave. You buy ingredients and decide you're gonna make something yourself. That's what I did and now I'm one of the best chefs around! So often it feels like takeout aint worth the cost at all when my own cooking can surpass it.

i heard him say it and was like "oh that must be how you pronounce 'pho'... glad i've never said it aloud!"
It's like saying "fuck" but don't say the end right?
Not 100% correct, but extremely close. Pho itself has an accent mark on the "o," meaning you need to say it so the vowel itself goes up in pitch towards the end of the word. Max has been the closest I've heard, in recent memory, to get the pronunciation that close though, so mad props to him.

We had one in the town I grew up in and it was complete trash. Greasy in a bad way and it did not have anywhere near the flavor of Five Guys or something like that. It went out of business a long time ago, for good reason. When I started hearing people from up north talking about how they wish Whattaburger was down here, I can't help but laugh.

1:25 When Max big brain actually surprised him
Laughed so hard at “Ice cream! Milk! Caramel! Gambit!”
Lethal League is like a reeeaally good sandwich. The most basic thing can be great. Lethal League is just advanced dodgeball mixed with baseball. A sandwich from a place like Jimmy John's, Which Wich, a local place, or Jason's Deli can have so much flavor. Lethal League has the most interesting gameplay, some of the best character designs, and quite possibly the best soundtrack of any fighting game. There's so much to it, and it's just amazing when you bite into the sandwich. Flavors that you wouldn't really combine turn out to be really good and then you put some chips into your sandwich and that thing comes ALIVE.
I love this comparison.
Also, if you think about it, for the right person, if you add some heat into the sandwich, if the game gets hot (i.e. the ball becomes really fast) its like MvC, where it just triggers the happy spot of our febble human brain and we just explode with excitement.
Now I wanna know what the Subways of fighting games is?
@@crimsonwizahd2358 hmmm...
uuuh maybe like a mix of smash bros and a game like lethal league or just a super simple fighting game
Oh I know! Maybe like Smash Bros Crusade, a budget, smaller and simpler smash thats basically flash almost.
I think Lethal League is the donut they tried to compare Soul Calibur with.
With a single bite you can feel every single flavor it has to offer at once,its explosive,but simple and affortable,just like when you get into Lethal League you inmediatly get it,you know EXACTLY what type of game Lethal League is and it has no fear to show what type of game it is.

I think blazblue is either Okonomiyaki or Takoyaki.

Nah, I think BlazBlue is kinda like a fancy restaurant
"I've been to a hoot er too in mah time."
I'm dead
This started off as me wanting to play more tekken, then ya talked more and now I'm sitting in a drive through. Thanks Max 😂
Blazblue is the mongolian bbq of fighting games, every character has their own unique individual flavor they prefer, and most people only think about it once or twice a year.
Under Night In Birth is Italian food.
Not everyone is into it. They can say they've dabbled into it in some cases (BBTag is the Olive Garden of fighting games fyi, yes I know what I said), but it takes a bit to get used to because of how much it's unlike any other country's cuisine. UNIST isn't like Blazblue or Guilty Gear; it's its own thing, its own craft. There's no food quite like the pasta dishes Italy thinks of; even gelato is unique in a way.
But the people who eat Italian food, the people who've play UNIST since UNIEL, love it to death. They've honed its craft like a family tradition since day 1. Take it away and you're gonna pay.
No, seriously, have you seen Italians reacting to the coronavirus? It's crazy.

if Skullgirls is Tiramisu and Flan, then Them's Fightin' Herds has got to be... Carnival food that you'd get at the state fair. Most people look at candied bacon and Deep Fried Pumpkin Pie and Deep-Fried Nutella and are probably like "WTF, I ain't puttin' that in my body!"
... and then you do and it's FUCKING DELICIOUS! sometimes it's meaty and hearty and tastes like chicken even though it's fried alligator covered in powdered sugar, and sometimes it's got enough of a sweet treat to hype you through the rest of the fare!
Most people only really wanna have state fare food once, though, and normally don't go out of their way to have it.
I supported the kickstarter for both games, and I'm having trouble getting in to both of them. The frontloaded complexity and mechanics are a lot for me to handle. I just picked up my first fight stick the other week, so hopefully this round of jumping into a fighting game will work better.
I'm also still holding a grudge for the shutdown of Fighting is Magic, and I wish I was in an alternate universe where that was developed, and where I got to see what the developers wanted to do with all the other characters.

Before this started i was immediately thinking how GG is mexican food too
On top of what you mentioned i think the spice is a defining factor (in GGs case things like RC and other in depth mechanics). It can be intimidating for those who arent used to it, but its one of defining aspects, and adds a level of depth once youre used to it that youd miss if it were taken out.
"Pancakes are the 'down one' of Virtua Fighter..." good lord this man needs to be CELEBRATED! I was like "this video is gonna be dumb" but it was the opposite.
Pure facts. I remember back in 93 and saw the VF arcade cabinet for the first time, my 9 y/o mind was thinking we're in the future. Given its the first commercially avaliable 3D fighting game at its time (to my knowledge) I can understand where Max is going with comparing VF to a hearty breakfast.
I feel Max is trying to bring here in his ingenuity is that every fighting games are basically edible by the mind so long we chew the buttons correctly. Brilliant 👍🏻
I have faced enough people to know some of them really do chew the buttons.
I thought this video was going to be about how you need to switch up what you eat every now and then because if you eat one thing for an extremely large amount of time, you get sick of it. That’s like how if you compete in ONE fighting game, you don’t enjoy it like you used to anymore. I was wrong, but this was even more entertaining😂
Rivals of Aether is fish fillet. It's refined and particular but not as specific or straightforward as steak, and there's so much variety on what the sides can be that you will eventually find something that compliments the solid core
Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers, to me, is that local restaurant that's been around for a long time and still going strong due to its quality. It may not bring in a ton of people, but those that support it are life-long supporters, and while other restaurants around them are growing in size, they're content with the long-time friends and fans they've made along the way.
