That is in no way good. This is just marketing. Catering to casuals more ruins the games and genres. Just look at tekken, its ruined after T7 with them putting in cinematic super crap. Look at soul calibur, completely ruined because of that clash crap. MvC destroyed because of disney marketing to casuals. All added to try and make spectacles for casuals who want flashy lights and whistles to get them into a game.

[@JoNNyCLOUD171]

I supoose it's an improvement from a trash /failed League "content" creator arc into house filler for offline TV into getting males so low value that they make Betas look like Alpha's give you hundreds of thousands of Dollars arc, into the "#me2" but actually encourage that kind of behaviour into cringe inducing overly confident and overly familiar dominance over far higher value people arc.

Harada is a producer. Kohei Ikeda is the director. Game producers tend to have more opportunities to attend events unlike directors. Former Nintendo director Masahiro Sakurai has a video on his KZbin channel that goes into detail about this. Edit: Nevermind I stand corrected. Harada is the current director of the project. Kohei Ikeda left it in his (Harada) hands.
