[SF: Duel] - Dante x SFD is here TOMORROW! How much will he cost and is he worth it?

[@ChadGalvatron]

Bro you are too funny with the anti spending, this man looked up vacation pricing lmaoooo. But it is some real shit, some people need the perspective.

[@PayneBlade]

Lol I'm not anti spending cause some people can do this without a hit to their wallet but many whales cannot afford it and still do it. Bro Antigua looking real good right now lol

there's a whale in a plus japan who sss+5 all fighters in just 2 weeks. and ranked 1 in HWA. crazy how one spend on an idle game. and he even bought a laptop just for the game so he can play smoothly while doing manual gameplay. currently his total power is 307m, next player is 180m and the rest 40m below. he overpowered everyone in just 3 weeks.

LOL bro that's so true. wait till it goes down a cent

[@WarGod_PsyCo]

Seeing how I wasted 130 special summon tickets earned not paid for since they were implemented into the currency pool, I only got 1 Akuma. I am now saving all my special summon tickets 🎟️ to cap out at 999 if that’s possible and only then will I spend them all on what every character is in the special summon list. So that will take many months to do plus by the time I reach 999, they might increase the odds to pull cards vs how gross the odds are at this time and I definitely not wasting my gems or money on special summoning tickets.

It’s just wild that in order for these event characters to even be remotely useful you have to get a LOT of dupes. In other gachas even if you get ONE copy you have a fully usable character. (Nikke, Fgo, Star Rail) so the value for rolling just isn’t there

[@PayneBlade]

Ya it's nuts for sure. Especially playing something like HSR but they are idle game vs turn based rpg so I guess the mindset is also different

[@ji0savage]

@@PayneBlade I just inherently disagree with this rush-drop-buy-now model. They create a crisis so players who like to be at the top stop making mortgage payments in order to max out these characters. If I could max him out over time, that's one thing, but forcing players to drop that kind of cash within a specified time window sounds more like them trying to predict revenue numbers for their stakeholders. Plus, getting this many characters this soon is a bit insane. I'm barely done maxing out the last round of characters and I think I fit the early-to-mid whale spectrum.

[@PayneBlade]

Ya that's the issue. It looks bad on them too cause then the player base can't trust them and that's the worst thing you can do

@@PayneBlade I’m in your zone and you are by far the bigger whale 🐳, I just like collecting characters. To the point about money being better off spent on other things I think it depends person to person. I did overspend on akuma because I initially had very good luck and then horrible luck later on. Vip 13 to the end of 14 without pulling a single akuma from the special summons(I bought the entire store out) the higher cost payments for less value didn’t actually get me any akuma dupes and I had to use divination to get from sss+1 to sss+5.

My idiocy is part of reason why I'm able to make guides tho and some of this high end content and make money back/ claim it on taxes BUT I stopped that after MH Ken.

1:10 just wanted to inform again that that's completely wrong! That is NOT how % work. Some people will get very lucky, some will get very unlucky (these two groups are around the same size) and the MAJORITY of people actually will get 2 copies in 100 pulls. That's how % work and you obviously know that. Kinda feel screwed right now. Have to say that I liked the content and channel from the start and still like the majority of it but when you stood up against these creators who spread negativity with lies/speculation/fake news to their own community just for money and views... man that's where I became a fan of yours. I feel very disappointed that these kind of negative lies now come from your direction more often lately. I mean, what means "more often" but I haven't thought that they would happen at all on this channel. With every fake news I have to correct, I feel more disappointed. I hope the increase is just due to stress or idk not having the time for the game atm like you used to or whatever. Really hope you be able to stop this trend and bring back the informative, entertaining and most importantly positive Payne, which I became a fan of. Much love 🫶🏻 Oh yeah also: SSS Dante costs you 0€ if you want to have him but you will need time. Gems and tickets actually are a free currency in this game

[@PayneBlade]

I don't think anything I said was wrong or negative. Have you spoken to 45+ whales about how much they spent? I'm literally taking averages of most those big spenders. If I took a bigger sample size I bet it will be even a larger gap. Rng is rng but 2% pull rate out of a 100 tickets (10 multis) is still Hella low and to get 100 tickets it's going to cost some people a lot of money. I'm not spreading lies, why would I? It doesn't benefit me lol. The longevity of this game matters more to my channel than the death of it but what matters even more to me is people's well-being. I still have people reaching out to me saying they have buyers regret on Akuma and that they wish they took my advice on not spending to max a unit out outside of their financial means. Now they are stuck either fighting with their wife or not being able to pay bills. The whole point of these videos is to put perspective on what these units cost. As someone who has almost every unit maxed and even spent 500 div tokens on Vega with 4 free substitute ones (sss only), I know how bad it can be. 500 div tickets in game to buy is over $600 alone. So again not sure where the negative lies are in your comments but I'm a first hand experienced person in this and have MANY cases of others even in worse situations. I know you enjoy defending the game but I call it how I see it. I defend when it needs to be defended and I do this kinda thing to remind people don't spend if they cannot afford it. At the end of the day that was the message, not the pull %

[@inceptioniist1113]

@@PayneBlade don't get me wrong: I stand behind your message and I think it's awesome that you spread awereness since I used to be quite addicted myself. I just don't know why this message can't be spread without fake news and that's what I said. And if you say "hey this game is majority of people get unlucky, very few get lucky" that's what's wrong and that's what I corrected because that's not how % work and I see these kind of comments ALWAYS AND ONLY used to discredit the game even though 2% rate is good compared to other gachas. Yes these other gachas may have a pitty system and I sucks that we don't have one. I'm criticizing that as well. And it's always the same thing: "I got unlucky, that's why the game/devs are the purest evil and have to be hated". Even if you know 200 whales who got unlucky, doesn't mean anything. First of all: the playerbase who spends these absurd amounts of money are a small minority of the playerbase. That doesn't mean you should ignore those people but it also does mean that it's not that big of a problem for the majority of the playerbase and it just doesn't get represent properly imo. Second of all: "I was unlucky, so the conclusion to this game is:..." or "I was unlucky and I know x amount of people who got unlucky as well, so the conclusion for this game is:..." that is not how reality works. That's what anecdotal evidence means. I mean I know a lot of people who got lucky and SS Akuma f2p. So what? Obviously. That's how % work. And third of all: the people who become very vocal online are the people who get unlucky, it's the people who are mad. So there is also a bias in how many unlucky people actually are there, since these people are just VEEERY loud. As an influencer in general but especially as someone who used to speak up against those people, I have higher expectations. Also have to say that your standing up already changed something I think. Rokage lately destroyed the fake news from markymark and Hayzink with the Sagat shadow drop. So maybe you made another KZbinr watchable (have to keep an eye on that), which is awesome. Unfortunately meanwhile Hayzink became the old Rokage, Seinseigogo type of KZbinr :/ but hey, some will go, some will come

[@PayneBlade]

I think in defense of Hayz and Mark they just got hyped and rarely drop click bait so I don't believe that was meant to be anything but a prediction based on the ads in culture vulture etc. As for %s, I have mentioned it's all luck and am the only one who has defended the games content and events lately as I believe the devs are being f2p friendly except for new units but this message was about spending and i know many whales who spent WAY to much to get a copy of a unit. IE mark spent 150 tokens for 1 copy of akuma. I have someone in my discord who went 210 tokens without one. It's a clear reminder that rng can go against you that's all. Nothing else my dude. Much love tho. I know you are passionate about the game and that's great but the underlying message of course was to be careful of your spending with unpredictability
