@maximilian_ Not sure if this'll work, but someone apparently plugged and then unplugged headphones into it and that fixed it? Worth a shot.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Goodbye @MarvelRivals . You’ve taken a good game, made it worse each season, and now it’s overrun with cheaters, smurfs, and throwers/leavers. You’ve shown 0 competency in anything that you’ve done with the game, so I’ll spend my time and money on products that are worth it.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Again, why am I losing point when my teammate leaves @MarvelRivals ? Why am I being punished for their actions?

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Any game that respected their players would at the very least reimburse ALL points lost in the match. It’s the absolute floor of care and understanding, and @NetEaseGames_EN can’t even meet that.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

It’s cool that I got rank points back in @MarvelRivals because of a thrower, but if I lost 25 points because of them WHY AM I ONLY GETTING 12 BACK?! LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT I LOST?! If this is @NetEaseGames_EN answer, I think they need to go back to the drawing board.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

This is just a matter of what’s fair. Even tho we were 5v6 the entire game, we still played our best and actually almost won. But because we had one person purposefully ruin the game for our side, we lose points and the other team gains points despite having an advantage?

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

@NetEaseGames_EN And the streak continues, this time with a thrower on my team and multiple cheaters on the other. Somebody at @NetEaseGames_EN has to start caring about this and do something. Season 8 has been atrocious and there’s no reason to think 9 will be any better.

Here’s legitimately how my last 20 ranked matches have gone in @MarvelRivals

@NetEaseGames_EN To be clear, this streak of cheater/throwers/leavers HASN’T STOPPED. Ranked is a joke right now, and it’s hard to see an end in sight when there’s no comms or actions by @NetEaseGames_EN on any of this.

BluePoint Games get shuts down by Sony.

Looks like they want to do the same to Bungie.

Ninja Theory, Double Fine, and Compulsion Games are all getting closed by Microsoft.

Gaming fucking sucks right now.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Mina the Hollower wraps itself in nostalgia, but once you start to dig a little more into it you find a pretty frustrating experience.

News flash for devs out there: NOT EVERY GAME NEEDS TO BE A SOULSLIKE. And this is an example of a game that feels worse off for it.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Each run feels like there’s no amount of success to be had, so you’re just continuously circling the drain with nothing new or exciting being added. Which admittedly mimics the slot gambling experience a lot, but video games should be rewarding and fun. Clover Pit isn’t.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Well, I’m glad Clover Pit is on Game Pass, because even at 10 bucks I think that’s about 10 bucks more than I would pay for it. I understand it’s a roguelike, but it should feel like you’re making some level of progress each run, and Clover Pit’s big issue is that you don’t.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

Also, if the my team votes to forfeit and I’m the only one that votes No, I should lose the least amount of points amongst my team. Or just remove Forfeiting.

Smurfs should also get IP/hardware ID permabans.

Anticheat takes time, but everything else could be done now.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

-Heavily punish throwers/leavers
-Add an actual, functioning anticheat
-Expand the avoid list by 22 slots

Three things that the @MarvelRivals should focus on before adding ANY new content to the game. Season 8 is one of the worst seasons we’ve had, and that’s saying a lot.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

It’s so cool playing a ranked game in @MarvelRivals to a draw and LOSING POINTS. In fact, it’s beyond cool that the game punishes you for a draw. Most healing, fewest deaths, most damage and damage blocked as a supp, but yes I should totally still lose points in a draw.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

My favorite games from recent broadcasts:
FF7 Revelations - can’t wait to see the finale
GoW Laufey - loved 2018 and Rag
Persona 4 and 6 - just replayed P4 recently, can’t wait to play again
Tifa in SF6 - hopefully S4 has mechanic changes
GoW E-Day - looks like classic Gears

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

@FGMarathon Tifa, was watching the show and promptly lost my shit. Still have lots of issues with 6, but I’m hoping that the devs take a serious stab at changing things up rather than let the game feel the exact same after 3 years.

[Splinter @_MasterSplinter]

FUCK OK FINE I’LL PLAY SF6 AGAIN, FUCKING TWIST MY ARM WHY DON’T YOU

[Street Fighter 6 @StreetFighter]

Year 4 of #StreetFighter6 welcomes Tifa from the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series!

🗡️ Yasmine - August 3, 2026
