Critical Edge: Cut Off Your Nose to Spite Your Face?

Basically because of how EVo holds the monopoly in the FGC, you see how FGCs have to bend over to the immature SRK community. It's sad really.

If they're were other tournaments with as much money and prestige as EVo, this shit wouldn't happen. Right now no other FG tournament comes close to competing with EVo.

But slowly and surely this monopoly won't last.
 
we need to find ways to get past beefs like this instead of make new ones within the FGC
Making beef is the only way I know how to live. We should have beef with SRK because they don't praise SoulCalibur. And we should have beef with eSports leagues because they don't praise SoulCalibur neither.

The world needs a little more hate, if you ask me.
 
I fully support our game going into eSports territory.

I do not support alienating ourselves from the other fighting game communities, aside from having our own awesome forum.

SRK may act shitty towards our community and our game, but let's not sink to their level and do the same.

Shoutouts to you OOFMATIC!!!
I totally agree with you on this. Anyways people always confuse the community on forums with the scene. Forums are full of self proclaimed serious players who really aren't. 8wayrun not making an exception. There is lots of people here who are not really interested in being part of a competitive scene and SRK is the same. I'm more of a multi-game player but i do know the Capcom scene a lot and while i do agree that a lot of the scene are not into 3D games , they don't necessarily bitch about it they just don't play 3D games. The ones bitchin are usually the less skilled players and the stream monsters.

I simply do not think that being judged unjustly by others is a good reason to simply do the same. A wise man said : An eye for an eye is only gonna make the whole world blind.
 
From my experience back in the day, SRK never really shit on SC, at least without good reason. SC2 while not as popular as 2d games, was treated pretty equally. SC3 had difficulty because people couldn't decide on rulesets, people being stupid and wanting CAS characters tournament legal, etc. SC4 was just a bad game, and was only further hindered by arguments over Algol, Hilde, and button mapping.

Also, the SC4 community itself seems to LIKE shutting itself off from the rest. I met a few people at NEC who were generally cool (Bibulus, Hubbs, etc) But overall it seems like a good many of the SC4 players just like being elitist and shitty. There was so much drama about people not wanting to get up from the SC5 stations and actually, you know...letting other people play the game. However, less than 10 feet away everything is just fine and dandy with the rotations on the TTT2 arcade cabinets!

What I agree with Jaxel on overall is the sentiment that it would be a good thing for SC5 to be picked up by a major competitive league. It would not destroy "grass roots" tournaments because people would want to have more competition/practice in between major tournaments! It would give the game the exposure it needed so that new blood is brought into the community.
