      Because of the combination of personality, experience, skill level and fg field. Justin exceptionally maxed out at those factors, over the fgc yt scene.
      Like, many people are stuck to a single fg or a single company. Or at best they play a different fg that's new for the publicity. And when it's not a new game (super rare), their playing is embarassing... Like Max, an old schooler, being totally lost at anything in SNK that he didnt see in CvS2 and MOTW, his only references of SNK.
      But Justin can do well and figure out things well at anything. Sure he is specialized in Capcom, but his knowledge isnt lacking in the Neogeo library, that are games as old as Capcom fgs.

      Arika has some issues, back then and now, but they have a very good artistic/visual and musical sense. Even people who dont like the games couldnt deny that quality.
      That was also proven by the public reaction to FEXL news, even if the game didnt catch on the current fg scene. People were very happy about seeing the chars again in modern graphics.
      Also even if the games can be called simplistic in their delivery, like they were made still with an early 90s mindset, but it's also undeniable how Arika managed to completely optimize "arcade fg fun" in all those games.

    I had the rare chance to play an actual Fighting Layer cabinet back in '99 when I was in high school. There was a video game store that not only sold games, but had a small row of arcade cabinets to play. The lineup would change every few months, and the owner must have had an inside source, because he wouldn't just get the popular games, but even obscure games or games that hadn't been advertised yet, like Rival Schools and Martial Masters. I used to love playing as Hong and George. When I got the chance to play the ROM on MAME years later, I hadn't lost my touch at all.
    My biggest gripe with Fighting EX Layer was that it didn't feature any of the Fighting Layer characters outside of Blair and Allen. That pissed me off.

In Fighter's Megamix you could fight as a pawn tree or that one vehicle from Daytona USA.

    I have enough reasons to believe that the original Fighting Layer is **THE** single most underrated fighting game ever.
    So much so that even when the company behind it got ressurrected, and decided to call their new game "Fighting EX Layer", they arbitrary opted to not include *a single* character or element originated from from the previous one, besides a few music tracks - making the new game essentially a "Street Fighter EX without Street Fighter", and not much more than that (when it _could_ quite easily be)...

This is by far one of the most unique and enjoyable fighters I ever played and have yet to play another fighter like it since.
