1. You have said in the past one of the reasons SFII Turbo is one of your favorite games is because they managed to balance the cast. Many fighting games have balance issues that cause players to have critiques.

The developers of these have to take this feedback into consideration for their revisions and try to keep people happy. Moves are often changed for either design purposes or to buff/negate characters. For one, Sean in New Generation is said to be one of the worst - but then he becomes top tier in Third Strike. How do you think they managed to make ST so fair especially considering the many other versions of SFII they had made?

2. In recent years, I have watched other FGC adjacents like Justin Wong and LordBBH do streams of fighting games that I think would be interesting for you to try. One of the ideas is trying to clear fighting games on one credit that you liked in the past or even getting random requests from fans. It would be entertaining in my opinion for you to see how your skills translate to games you don't know and learn about them while teaching us about the mechanics/etc. It could become a checklist to see how many you complete in a stream or over the course of a year, with you going back to ones you want to complete that you couldn't the last time. If there was downtime in the future (and no relevant ongoing fighting game stream like Friday Night Fights), would you consider playing these on the MAME emulator or whatever console they are released on? Of course this is provided you have the right PC setup in the future to be able to run the games too.

Would you consider reacting to the Smash Brothers documentary about its competitive Melee scene? It is long-form but also broken into episodes so that you could give the first a trial run and see how you/the fans feel about continuing. I think it would change your mind about how you view Smash Bros. as a competitive game (or not so, in the case of some of those within the FGC community).

Marvel vs Capcom 3 is my favorite fighting game to this day. I was wondering if you truly hate it because I remember when it came out you strongly criticized it. What in the game didn't you like?

I know you're asking Phil, but, I didn't mind MVC3 too much.  I liked the fact that game added some of my other favorite Marvel characters Thor, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, and Iron Fist.

Hey Phil I wanted to know from your personal opinion how does a content creator know when to change his style/content not only for the benefit of the creator themself but for the viewing audience as well
