    honestly to me, one of the main reasons is that a lot of beginners are getting shoved in servers with lvl 200+ players and not improving. I find myself getting more focused on the characters and lore as well rather than the game, as I find it more interesting to learn all the neat little facts than get frustrated with sucking at fighting games

    I believe that one of the main reasons is how fighting games work (splatoon, tf2), when you play those games Usually you will play 2 to 10 rounds before going "okay I'm done for the day", And it's not just one or two people, it's basically everybody with all fighting games, people are playing it at different times before finishing it up really quickly. (And there's probably way over a thousand people who play it within that day).
    Meanwhile with other games like Regretevator people play it for longer(30 minutes to 3 hours usually) which means more people all the time.

    I don't play public games because the particles from attacks pile up in full games and it's too much for me to deal with. I can do a 1v1 maybe a 2v1 but getting flash banged with blue and red effects while trying not to die is just way too hard for me. Especially when I'm new and have no clue what I'm really doing. Kinda wish they had it so you could have phights with people around your level instead of dropping you in the game against a level 52 Sword.

    i started playing the game in august and phrenzy was happening in that week, so most of regular players were playing phrenzy while new players were playing normal game mode; it was easier for me to actually understand and play the game with people who started new just like me.
    I am lvl 154 rn and seing begginers in the same servers paired with lvl 200's hurt my soul. The game is already hard to learn at first and nobody would want to get destroyed by some lvl 200 bio over and over again.
    If they could add a begginer server (which they were thinking of doing so,) im pretty sure it would bring up the player count even more.

    • @Stickamajig
      @Stickamajig 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @Tired_Tortilla Adding this has a high possibility of bringing the player count up. Also, there's a low likelihood of that happening, since (and this is based off of my experience with phighting players) they get really annoyed with skilled players, therefore making the level appropiate servers approach makes sense. Heck even if there aren't alot of these servers, that's how the pro servers are as well, this is just for people who want to take a break or are new to the game.

    along with the new things, rocket, slingshot, and a bunch of other phighters are getting a rework too so thats cool.

  • @Rinsillys
    @Rinsillys 12 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Nice video!! :3 i also have 3 reasons why PHIGHTING has less then 1k players
    1. Massive level gaps.
    For suggestions for the game they need to add like pro servers and like casual severs something like that so its fair for new players/begining phighters so they can have fair matches. Back to the point lets say theres 100-300 levels on the ememy team and your team is full of like beginners and you just get instant death by each one of them which is unfair and a REASON why they need add sever option for beginners and pros to play at there own LEVEL and reasons for rage quitting! (I can relate to rage quitting honestly if i get killed by the same 100+ player over and over again 💀) and yes the game possibly isnt meant for beginner friendly?? But itll sure help begineers tho.
    2. Fanbase/people
    Lets just say the lobby and like social. Starting off with shipping like first off ships (social) doesnt make sense like where the FUCK did medhammer came from that ship clearly doesnt make sense and subkit to they are enemys and they both tried to kill EACHOTHER like that shit aint no enemies to lovers bullshit like the hell. Honestly the ONLY ships that are like allowable in my opinion is swocket and hypertana + people dont pay attention to ages and shit. For people in lobby people can be pretty weird like yall probably seen those videos where like people say "a-ah~ s-slow down! (character name).." Like your kinda like making the game look bad or maybe like a character in a ship that people like smt like that your technially making the ship itself bad and the game?? I guess?? Maybe im sensitive but idk honestly and exploiters yes, SOME can be chill and funny yada yada but like they cross the line of chat flitering of yk what i mean which idk how to explain maybe 💀 also reasons why people are leaving the fandom/community!
    3. Lag
    Recently the game has been laggy all of the sudden it can not be that big of a deal really but it you get killed FAST the second you lag yes it could be your wifi or device but otherwise it can be pretty annoying sometimes or i could be dramatic lmao
    Question: does anyone know why sever shuts down in lobby matches after a few rounds for no reason? Like im generally curious.

  • @OliviaGu-lv7ij
    @OliviaGu-lv7ij 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +7

    0:23 yes EXACTLY phighting has been posted by boggio since 2022 and the majority of ppl that play phighting have lvs that go through the chart. Literally are lv 100-500 and stuff which is of course hard for beginners. Some quick suggestions are nm 1: play in private servers with friends (they help you out with trying new phighters you're consistent with like rocket/sword/scythe and etc but its mostly up to you) nm 2: try to practice out in lobbies of phighting. E.g skateboard (you can learn to master him by doing tricks in lobby just as well in normal maps) nm 3: server hop everywhere until you find a server that is your kind, maps also give challenges to certain phighters like slingshot.) (slingshot is better to mostly play in the ROBLOX HQ map because his E ability can bounce around the map). Tbh you shouldn't really blame boggio its one of the best games ever that isn't some ordinary tower defense of simulator game cycle. They also made huge changes to phighting such as making the phighters damage lower so you don't get one shotted. They added more op recent phighters like scythe. Phighting is the most underated game, and also their group boggio who worked hard on it :3. Mind that you should support their group and game pls.

    • @OliviaGu-lv7ij

    Honestly i agree with these. Especially for the first & last ones. Back when i first played Phighting, i was kinda overwhelmed and thought the game was a little too competitive for me & had to get used to it after a little while- i also tend to get bored & tired after a few rounds.
    But i mostly tend to think it's because from the lack of updates as well. I can understand why tho. Theres only 3 devs working on the game, & aidn (the creator of phighting), is busy w/ nationals-. The only time i remember Phighting getting more than 1k players is mostly during events- like phestivals. (for ex: the dove vs crow one LOL)
    Either way, with all the stuff they have planned, im sure somewhere in the future it'll probably get 1k players-. :"))

  • @luverneanimatics8769
    @luverneanimatics8769 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    This reasons are pretty good, but for me; honestly, since the main game leads to the lobby of the.. well, game, there are a few players who like to hangout in the lobby; knowing for the fact that the actual way to get into a match of Phighting is via teleporting to a different game (to prevent lag and deadweight and such). The reason as to why I think of this is due to the fact I've been using roblox studio for like.. 4-5 years and such, in studio, the settings option of the game (where you can edit the icon of the game, the description, etc) there is a button called places and you can create a different game that is still connected to the main game. As I am typing this, there are 129 players in the main game of Phighting yet there are 840 players that are active in said main game.
    TLDR: The match servers are in separate games from the main game itself

  • @baolikespizza4512
    @baolikespizza4512 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Imo there are two main reason. First being Phighting can be a bit difficult for beginners which makes it harder to attract more new players. Second is it lacks incentive to play, there’s no goals ingame other than leveling up and grinding bux so even regulars don’t spend much time on it aside from during events.

  • @StariConstellations
    @StariConstellations 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I agree with the first reason, tbh.
    The skibidi toilet brainrot is basically just Roblox’s player base under the age of 10, it’s crazy.. I think Phighting as a game could work out as a game itself outside of Roblox, especially with the hype it has rn.
    Also another reason be that the tutorial isn’t nearly as good as it needs to be (I’m not dissing the devs tho lmao) with all the game’s complicated abilities, ult combos.. you name it.
    ALSO, an update page/icon/board would be rlly helpful for patches/nerfs that might lead peeps away!! (oh my god why did I just type that out)

  • @Cndery
    @Cndery 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I think the reason is because the number of players is based on people in the lobby, not at the game. And private servers exist too (a lot of people can only play on private servers). Based on people who are in the lobby, I think it would be around 1.5k usually, since there are few in-game servers.

    • @Mr.SimSam
      @Mr.SimSam 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It’s not that. Roblox had a system in games called universes if I can remember correctly, it basically connects sub games into actual games. That’s how games have thousands of players but most of the action is in the game and there’s only a couple lobby servers.

  • @charalove8
    @charalove8 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Pro servers have the same people in it and are dead so all the high level people are going into matches with people who are just picking up the game. often times scaring them off (I've had it happen to a couple friends of mine that tried the game and got basically picked on) and I can totally see why. Plus, characters are confusing and some videos on TH-cam that try to explain them don't actually help at all and just stunt peoples progression, making them not want to play really.
    this is just from what I've observed anyway, it can be different for everyone.

    So the game is good, if youre familiar with these kind of games, cause people unfamiliar with fighting games will get frustrated when they get in matches with 150+ level players, honestly i know its some work but they need to add matchmaking for new players so they can play against people their level

    my personal reasons:
    1. system:
    although yes, the game is good n fun, it isnt able to make a super big addiction compared to games like sols rng or ps99. the game doesnt have any sorta gambling feature or anything, as its pretty f2p imo.
    2. recognition:
    roblox tends to not help out smaller games, leading to underrated devs in the darkness, infact the only time they even helped small ganes out to my knowledge was the hunt, which im pretty sure gave recognition to pretty controversial games...
    3. the phandom:
    the phans r well...weird to say the least...
    theres quite a tad bit of nsfw involved within the community,, i have litterally seen an r34 gif on tenor of sword n rocket doing it. people obviously wouldnt wanna associate with the "weird fans".
    there r esspecially people litterally wanting to have "specialty time" with certain phighters (mostly medkit).

  • @N_Ihere
    @N_Ihere 17 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    1. Not beginner friendly
    Since the roblox fanbase is largely children of new players try out phighting they might find it very difficult or annoying to play especially if they keep losing because there’s this one level 200 in the game who keeps beating them up (if you keep losing in a game you probably lose interest in it)
    So that makes it worse because new players might quit very quickly leaving behind only the dedicated fanbase of mostly more pro players
    They should really make level appropriate servers. I’m level 60 and still constantly get bashed when placed against a team with that one huge pro
    Though it might be hard because of the number of players so at one time there might not be enough players around the same level like if their level is really high
    2. They use different platforms to reveal information about updates e.g discord
    People who don’t have those platforms or just don’t use them might not learn of the updates coming( honestly I’m one of those people but I found it on TH-cam) and think the game is very dry
    3. Gets boring
    While the gameplay is not really that repetitive and it still offers unique experiences, people don’t usually play a game for a consistently long period of time unless very obsessed. I’ve known and played phighting for almost a year now but I’ve only played phighting every few months while other times I have other things to focus on and do.
    Also because of the genre of game, people don’t play that many matches of a fighting game
    4. Too many effects
    If you have bad internet or device, your device will explode from all the visual effects (condolences to mobile players) it’s just too flashy and new
    Players might not like it
    5. The fanbase is a bit unhinged to say the least. A lot of satire stuff and weird ships (Ik every fandom is like that but still 😭) some of the fanbase don’t even play the actual game
    6. People might enjoy the lore aspect more than the fighting genre of the game and only enjoy the lore/ character interactions and not the actual gameplay

    I see that many people complain about huge level gaps, and yup it sucks, especially when you have to be in a 3V5 match with the whole other team being level 200+ ( that happens a lot to me ). To be honest, what is the most concerning to me is the fanbase, literally doxxing and telling the others "KYS" about a ship ( I'm taking Medspace and Medhammer out as an example, both are pretty much proship due to Subspace ripping Medkit's eyes out and Medhammer being Criminal x Police ).
