I've watched this happen a few times as well and the real recipe for retention of these streamers is when them and their friend are both equally into the game and get competitive with each other.


Game was way easier to get into when beginner servers were full and you naturally progressed to intermediate and semipro and by the time you hit black belt you had a decent enough grasp on the game to survive against the average player. Playing against similar skilled people made the game feel competitive instead of one sided destruction. I remember viewing custom belts and master belts as gods of the game who were unbeatable


Now the noobs join public boxshu as a white belt and get stomped after waiting 15 min to play and then never play again.


I think dyingderps point about the community is spot on. It is literally in our hands, WE can take actionable steps to promote the game. Would be super cool to see someone make a new top 5 insane fights series or a good player uploading multiplayer gameplay commentary breaking down what they are doing. Doesn't even have to be as high effort as that, just post a cool replay you have on tiktok! But obviously not everyone has the time for that stuff. I myself have a lot of video ideas that I just procrastinate on. But even if just 20 of us decided to upload 1 video this week on youtube that is 20 more videos that weren't there before.


Something wayy easier and low effort is just to simply go out of your way to be nice to noobs. Which I know a lot of us do.




Also staff are doing great no one should be dunking on the people that literally keep this game afloat.
