Shoutout to the guys who actually added me on Arknights lol

[@liviekumori]

You're welcome king

[@Silk_Underwear]

One of my favorite games, along with DBFZ

[@Mymayon]

Always happy to deliver clue 5s

[@boringrays]

also I too play arknights give me them random clues as well Kiema#2382

[@thechugg4372]

It's a bit sad that all these old videos are all outdated now, no one will be willing to go back to outdated video information, even if the production quality was insane.

[@MaxLoafin]

It's me, I'm no one. For characters you literally have no idea what to do with, even an outdated guide is better than nothing. Literally watched his 17 guide recently and already feel WAAAAY better at the character. It sucks the guides are outdated though.

[@handlethatboi]

I’m here looking for combos lol

[@fish.come.from_the_milk]

i will, i dont even play

[@atmosstreams]

To TinyTorgue, Please read this. I get that the Old Guides are outdated and probably not worth the continuous edits and such, but you have been such a light in the darkness for those who are new to these games! When I first started playing FighterZ, I had no clue wtf I was doing, and would get angry all the time. I had no idea how to setup scenarios, confirm stray hits, or mix up my opponents, nor block theirs. Searching online for guides only gave me gibberish notations of combos i didn't understand. When I found you when you were just starting out, I was skeptical that the guide you uploaded would help me, that was until I clicked on the video. The very first panel showing the notation guide with the directions and buttons made everything so much more understandable, I became extremely indebted to you and how easy you made studying the game. As time evolved, the memes were slowly introduced and I fell even more in love. Your style of editing and including what buttons did also helped me not just to formulate combos, but look out for what my opponent was going for. I improved dramatically in matchups with characters I studied and each time I watched a video and learned more, I began to take notes on blockstrings and setups. I learned that punishes are part of the game and something I shouldn't get mad at. I learned to love FighterZ again, and to embrace its ever-evolving chaotic nature. Not only that, but as you began doing SF6 guides, I watched those too. My note-taking had become a habit at that point, and I would sit there for 90-120 minutes every upload, taking notes on a game I didn't play. Without you and your in-depth, beginner-friendly, attention-grabbing guides, I would never have learned to love fighting games again. So please, if you could continue making them, if even at a slower rate, I would be forever grateful. You are the only one who explains things to the level a noob like me can understand. I hope you consider it. ❤❤ Sincerely, A Man you Helped.

[@NekoPodBOOM]

Well I definitely want to support you in any way possible so, here’s a like, a comment interaction, and morale support! I genuinely thing you are one of, if not, the best Guide Makers out there so I thank you for every one that comes out!

[@ThatBoiJonas]

Keep your head up Tiny and always remember to take your time.

[@LordSwoladin]

You are the reason i got good at DBFZ especially that hour breakdown of the mechanics of the game so ill wait for the next thing you do

[@lamarcusarmstrong9354]

I appreciate you TT. Your guides have carried me in a huge way. It would’ve been dope to see som Melty genius from you in form of guides. All I can do at this point is pray it ever happens😢😢.

[@dimitris_papoulakosonig390]

Your cammy guide is the best i was able to find online. Do not underestimate yourself

[@OH_MY22]

What kills me is the fact that after like the past 2 years they finally came back but instead of giving us rollback they made all the characters take 50 pounds of drugs

[@essential67]

Im upset that my ps4 is gone but the patch just looks... Kinda toxic

[@flick2flick]

What is rollback?

[@DonteWilsonChrisDorner]

Bandai out here ruining dreams and careers.

[@ShadowFri3nd]

my theory is that ArcSys has slowed/dropped the game dev time because Bandai is a fcking nightmare to work with it...

[@DonteWilsonChrisDorner]

@@ShadowFri3nd Arcsys hasn't touched this game since Gogeta 4 patch. Everything after that was Bandai. I don't know why, or what the reasons were, but it's 100% true that Arcsys hasn't had any part in this game since then.

[@ShadowFri3nd]

@@DonteWilsonChrisDorner i readed that bandai is fcking trash to work with it, remenber that they have the Bloodborne copyrights and not Sony.

[@D4Bandit]

I personally would love Skullgirls videos in your style, but I know it alone isn't enough for a whole channel, even worse considering the crazy effort you pour into every one of them. I hope you find success in whatever you do next. I'll be there to watch your content even if it isn't DBFZ. Take your time and keep your chin up

[@Notsurewhattouse]

After everything you've done for this community, it's only fair we stick with you and give your new content ideas a shot. We really appreciate all your guides and I know I personally am really looking forward to what you have in the works after FighterZ. Best of luck!

[@Fai_-]

"If you hold on life won't change."

[@Fhdkl]

God I remember when I was new to dbfz and torgue came in clutch with the guides helped me learn alot it was slow at first but now I've been winning tournaments and beating players like kasuga and full metal fury. Goated channel

[@supers0n1cb00m]

You have always made in my opinion the best guides for any fighting game I've ever played I'll gladly give any new content you make a shot thanks for all the help over the years and good luck going forward!

[@Disappointo]

First video I ever saw of yours was your guide for Hit. Ever since then, I've worked up my way to almost UI rank online with him. You're pretty cool. I'm glad you put so much work into your stuff.

[@char-rez83]

The guides that you have posted have been soooo helpful. I can finally take a match off of my brother in part because of your guides. YOU ARE SOOOOOO appreciated. Thank you for all that you have done. :) Take your time on whatever it is you do next. Again Thank you :)

[@Sevatar_VIIIth]

My hope is Arcsys releases a One Piece Fighterz, if not I'd be happy with a DBFZ 2. Either way I wish they'd announce their next anime fighter soon man, maybe in 2024 hopefully.

[@theguestaccess7433]

I feel the production quality and breakdown of the move mechanics in your guides had got me the most into DBFZ. Most people don't go nearly as in depth as you have even in the most popular of fighting games and if they do it usually revolves around a single character that they main. Whatever plans in the future you have I do know the communities you will touch will love to have you in there community.

[@Spawnamvs]

The funny thing about 2:35 is that theres a group of people out there saying that this is the best the game has ever been and that the character variety makes the game peak despite all the problems the game had/has. Ive been sitting on thoughts about this game but really had nowhere to express them outside of comments. I thought about making a video essay and posting it but eh..

[@theHolyMonarch]

You've really helped with my journey. Started in August and now at super saiyan God. Thank you and best of luck to you

[@frostyfrenchtoast]

You were the man for helping me get good and have fun in this game, especially when I got into it so late in its life. Your vids definitely helped many! Best of luck in any of your future endeavors

[@slimson4946]

I love how detailed and informative these guides were, they really help me get better at fight games I was lowly sayin rank for a good year then i started watching your videos and it put me ultra instinct ranked and better understand how fighting games work, I cant express how much I am grateful, I hope good things go your way from here on out thank you

[@mandalorianhunter1]

I'm here for you man. Going back to your GT Goku video from last year, he is relevant again this patch. Yeah I feel you on the insane balancing

[@TheBLACKSTARmovement]

Ive been using your dbfz character guides since August to learn DBFZ for a money match (actually 2 of them, including a runback). I ended up losing (no shame tho, my opponent was very experienced and skilled), but between your guides and the dustloop wiki, i went from being a total scrub who knew near zero about the game to a current Super Saiyan 3 orange square on PC that can at least keep up with high-level players. That may not seem super SonicFox impressive, but this is just me training myself (no training partners) in around TWO MONTHS time!!! I feel like normally it would take me like 6 months to make that level normally. I still have a long ways to go, but i feel like ive made huge leaps in skill and the game is so fun to play thanks to your guides teaching so much, they are so well done!! Thank you so much, and hopefully i can beat my rival when we run it back again in a couple of months!

[@SuperCozzmic]

Thank you for all of your great content. Your videos have been such a great way to sink our teeth into the game. Especially newcomers to fighting games. I’ll always remember you! Good luck for whatever you choose to do next.

[@jembo9311]

I feel you. Your work was a massive help to me in 2019-2020 when I first seriously got into fighting games with Fighterz. Your style of teaching through film is honestly a masterclass in both information delivering and entertainment. I have watched your guides multiple times over when doing something other than learning Fighterz. I ran into a crashing problem in 2020 and couldn't play Fighterz at the time so i had to move on to another game (Strive) which broadened my involvement in the FGC. As much fun as I had in strive, I wanted to come back to Fighterz. Watching EVO and your videos kept me hyped for the day I could fix my problem and grind with the new perspective Strive gave me. The rollback and Tenkaichi announcement got me excited but delays worried me about my favorite fighting game. Finally the beta was announced and I was ready to fix my issue and get back on. But it had changed. I watched your guides for my team (BGogeta, DBS Broly, UI) to refresh and that's when I saw this video. It pains me to see the game I love is such a questionable state. Wherever you go next, I want to to know that you had an impact on my life and i hope to do as much as i can for you in return. Thank you TinyTorgue

[@renanwastaken]

yo, they did something

[@dddccc8449]

the "robery" definition nearly killed me XD. Ive always loved your jokes and your guides were always Top tier and were always super helpful to me. So thanks a lot I really hope whatever you do next succeds.

[@recon1o6]

I haven't been subbed long, but even outdated your videos have helped me a complete noob and generally not much of a fighting game person put up a decent fight against my competitive friend on my best characters. Even got a draw and had a couple of close losses by a single attack on my last bout against him. The quality of your videos is amazing, both entertaining and informative. I can see why you burnt out with that much effort. I hope the future pans out well for you because you deserve it.

[@alexanderyump2597]

your videos were my gateway into taking fighting games more seriously, ill be there for whatever you do next !! im also holding out massive hope for a dbfz type one piece game, the potential there is insane

[@lowqualitysaskue9337]

Torgue, feel free to do whatever you feel is right and what ever you'll enjoy. These DBFZ guides are so well made it's the reason i even purchased dbfz a month back. If you quit the guides it's completely okay as the love and effort you put into them is something i dont see much on this platform, and ill stick with you through anything because of it. Whatever you feel is right is what ill be rooting for, as everything you make is always a blast. I hope everything is something you'll enjoy be happy with and ill be there each step of the way. Cheers!

[@ryxga6392]

I really appreciate everything you have already done and if you have to change games or something else, I'll be here to support your decision and watch your guides or other content you do. You are the whole reason why I didn't quit FighterZ immediately and actually started to win my games with gogeta blue after all :D

[@FreshPrince24_MUGEN]

Was always kinda scared a day would come when you'd get burned out or run out of stuff to do. Wanna just say I'm gonna stick around for whatever you're gonna try as you're a genuinely funny guy and your guides have honestly been the reason I get into most characters I've played and honestly make it so I can play characters I like without a skill barrier stopping me. Honestly dont think I'd be playing this game without you and I am truly grateful that. Tldr you're awesome, appreciated and I'm gonna be here for whatever you try

[@HazyTown01]

This is extremely sad considering how amazing your tutorials are, and all the work you put in them. You really have a gift for breaking down fighting game Concepts. I feel like if you could just find the next trending game that you could apply that to, you'd be golden. You might not always be passionate about your job or your content, but it's better than digging trenches for money.

[@nugssss_]

been playing since the end of season 1 and you're one of the main reasons i'm as good as i am today! i love what you do and have always recommended your channel to anyone who was new or asked me how to get better. gonna join the discord and contribute in any way i can!

[@mainaime2566]

"...although I do believe Strive is genuine ass" - the sincerity in your voice took me out 😹😹

[@veen4638]

Thank you for your videos, I've always checked them before trying to learn a new character and seeing the changes on the ones I used. DBFZ gave me so much fun, I get sad by these new changes in the core gameplay and all these new stuff. The game has a special place on my heart but it doesn't seem to get any better... You made my game sessions much easier

[@zacharyjohnson9562]

youtube is such a mess because I didn't even get recommended the Cammy guide. Going to watch it after this, stave of the rollback wait.

[@janluipetris4698]

honestly im hype for this new arc of TinyTorgue u are super talented dude

[@Indubitably_Pol]

Honestly, I stopped playing dbfz years ago at this point. However, I’ve kept up with your guises still just for the quality of them. Your video layout style and comedic timing is impeccable. I’ll watch whatever bro, don’t change your style keep making what you love.

[@moistwindow6094]

I gave up on dbfz so long ago, but even still i love your videos and I still re-download it to practice all the content you put into them, take your time, do your thing, your content is always goated and I'm looking forward to whatever you have cooking up

[@irgendwervonirgendwo318]

[@MostWoap]

[@wildrussiansnake8978]

Also while it is depressing the game took this route i'm glad you agree with me on the balancing issues this game is experiencing.

[@joshualewis3037]

Just wanna say Ilove your content and your sense of Humor. I support whatever you have planned for the future. Ive seen it time and time again where youtubers try to rebrand themselves and fall off completely but its because they just switch content and hope it'll pick up eventually. If your going to go a different path you gotta make sure you put the same love and passion into it that you do for DBFZ I know you can do it!

[@pkphyre8920]

Ill be honest, I'm absolutely shocked to hear that rollback still isn't in Fighterz. I had assumed it had been in for months

[@wildrussiansnake8978]

I have supported you from the beginning and will continue to do so.

[@BlancFGC]

I was actually just thinking about you and your channel, hope all is well man. We'll be here whatever you decide to do.

[@johnzigemm5944]

Sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been facing. You've been missed dearly. It's been such a mess between patches and announcements, not to mention the clown balancing. The latter in particular upending the great work you do. That being said, I'll continue to look forward to your future content and give it a fair chance. I simply wouldn't enjoy this game, or even be the player I am, without your knowledge and guidance. Thanks again. Much love. ❤

[@m00teronyoutube]

i did come to this channel for dbfz, hell you were the reason i even became competent in my combo game, but i'd love to stay along to see what else you do. whatever fighting game you decide to make more content on, i'm interested, would love to improve at other games i don't play enough

GOATed ending Love your dbfz videos, and am similarly confused with the direction the devs have taken the game. Given the quality of your dbfz vidz, I'm sure your future projects will find an audience as your creativity and thoroughness is genuinely impressive. Your guides have been a massive inspiration for me, both in dbfz and other games as well. Thank you for all your hard work!!

[@luizp.7251]

The problem with FighterZ is precisely the long duration of the matches, it seems that everyone has 3 lives per round and we have to play 2 rounds. Another big problem is the absence of neutral, basically whoever presses buttons earlier wins. This undermines casual players as it is almost impossible to defend yourself and not all characters have DP. Your cammy guide is the best I have watched so far. Do not underestimate yourself.

[@somethingjacket]

[@tacla]

Honestly your videos were the best. Clear and concise, but most importantly they were funny and i feel like the angle at which you tackled them was perfect for people of any level when picking up a character. I totally understand your stance, and in a way you definitely speak for me as well, as dbfz was the shining grace that was a good 3v3 fighter but just like all of the things you mentioned about other fighters, nothing else really fits this awesome editing style quite like dbfz and arcsys not fixing netcode even now is kinda it for me

[@The_Real_Lemon]

big fan of the channel, I hope you do more fighting game content no matter what game it is. idk if your audience on twitch is as big as your youtube one, but consider streaming on youtube since some people here (like myself) are more likely to tune in if it's on this platform. looking forward to whatever you post, hope things are well.

[@greensky5328]

I have a feeling when the game gets rollback people will come (look at BBCF and Xrd). Also as a fellow Melty enjoyer (I prefer aacc but TL is also cool) I know French Bread said they weren't done adding content to Type Lumina so seeing you make a guide on that would be stellar. I hope you get your tech troubles sorted out and arc sys picks up their slack. Your dbfz guides will always be the best around.

[@D33D33.]

Torque, I love your content so much that I watch them all the time especially while I eat. No matter what you do with your channel, I will always be one of your viewers.

I’ve been saying for years. FighterZ needs actual alternate costumes not locked behind an in game pay wall rng, better music, and a more accurate movelist for characters. (GT Goku missing Kamehameha x10 and HIS variation of Super Dragon Fist that he did on Ice Shenron just to name a few examples).

[@alucardSSBM]

Much respect man, tbh DBFZ has evolved a lot since I started playing the game 3 years ago but it's no longer enjoyable imo. When you have guys throwing out random Level 3/4s in neutral or in the middle of your own blockstring + all of the weird hitbox mechanics that are basically RNG at this point it's probably best to let it go. Imo the fusion meta (although literally broke the game) was my favorite, it's simply just a party game now.
