Better Single Player content. NRS games don't have this issue.

NRS games have an issue keeping players. Single player content is not important to the health of fighting games.

She just plays offline.

Then she's useless to us. I could give a shit about NRS's bottom line. I give a shit about being able to log into a game and have an even match with a solid connection at any time of day.

Japanese devs are fucking stupid by not just copying what NRS does.

What, being a phenomenon in the 90s for over the top violence and riding that wave forever? Japanese devs don't have time travel and Street Fighter already sells tons of copies from their established popularity from the 90s. Hell, if you only cared about how many copies were sold like you do with NRS then you should be fucking loving Strive because it's the best selling Guilty Gear yet.

The majority of the most played competitive video games of all time have had no story mode, ever. People who think story mode will save shit have their minds stuck in the 90s when we couldn't have an instant match with someone you've never met before from across the country.
