Hate Speech: We Are the World

In my recent experience, and I happen to be an admin for our local 2d community, alot of the players here are on the fence about SC5 until after they see the game in action or play it for themselves. From the videos they see they are expecting SC4 with more bells and whistles.

I plan to be the one that allows them to have their first experiences with the game by taking it with me to their weekly SF gatherings so they can play it for awhile. I wouldn't be playing it against them. I'll just be there to explain how the game works and answer any questions they might have, without getting directly involved by beating them up. Hopefully with this kind of exposure to the game, they'll be more interested and perhaps excited to play it again. So much so that they'll look for me to bring it the following week or they'll go out and get it for themselves. I've only managed to get a few people wanting to learn the game by bringing them aboard the hype train during the last few weeks. I am sure for my area it will be much easier to get new players by taking the game to where the SF players meet up and letting them play it. They've been open minded with the other fighting games that came out recently so this should be no different.
 
being a long time supporter of fighting games in general(offline) its good to see people from other communities come together and actually bond rather then increase the distance between them. This Article like others in the past usually get swept under the rug sort to speck because alot of folk think because it isn't "news" it isn't important, however we all know that isn't the case in the slightest.

I wished articles liked these showed up more often...but even great speeches like these do no good if people are not being more open minded about things...i think that's a issue that does need to reflected on....you know, the increasing amount of online "trolling" and overall jackassery around the net, as there is no need to be disrespectful....it just makes the community look bad as a whole.
