Is anyone else worried about the sudden implosion of Panda? And all the jobs that are being lost? Is there any way for that team to salvage the organization if @DrAlanB isn't in charge anymore? Can @PracticalTAS take over (if only temporarily) and right the wrongs?

I'm going to put it plainly - it is going to REALLY suck not being able to play RR with you. We're going to be working like crazy to make our relaunch worth the wait. Thank you for everything so far! We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.

Rushdown Revolt! ⚡👊

@danfornace It's a bold and risky strategy. Rivals was special because of what made it different. Icons failed because it was too similar. I'm obviously biased though.

Ok. I think I'm going to start a Rushdown Challenge. Which Fighting game pro do you think can win 10 games in a row on QuickPlay against 10 unique people? Ill give $1000 to the first "Top 10" from any Smash or Brawlhalla player that does it. #RushdownChallenge

I started Rushdown Revolt because I wanted to make a platform fighter that was extremely invested in it's most hardcore players. We've since invested $100K into our scene. We're at the top of the mountain and we're not even halfway up. Can't wait to see y'all at Genesis.
