YOU SAID YOU'D PLAY IF THEY FIXED MATCHMAKING! WHERE ARE YOU?!?

No, seriously, though, James really wants to know what it is about KOF that makes it so you don't try it out? Although James addresses a ton of chat comments, he also has his own thoughts and theories and, not only that, but he has ideas that SNK should implement to help onboard newer players (0:31:57)! This was honestly a really great discussion, so I hope you guys take the time to listen and enjoy the deeper and more nuanced talk about this topic.
