Looking And Waiting For Something Special?

Who says that Japan won't like SCVAE? What do you base that off? It depends on the game designed. SCV has to do more than get released it has to meet Namco's expectations.

The problem with typical FG players like yourself is that your view on competitive game is narrow. Competitive gaming is growing past simple tournaments, where you travel and pay for your own shit, add to the pot and hope for the best.

Players have sponsors now, your ticket is paid for, housing and other expenses all paid for. Because winning now days, especially in tournaments like WCG(which you lol at) isn't merely a couple thousand dollars. If T6 is at WCG with games like Starcraft and SSF isn't, that speaks volumes. And for a company like Namco that's reason enough to invest further into that franchise.

If other communities don't respect your game, why would TOs put it in their tournaments? Why would it be at EVO? Because it's new? Why would it be at MLG?
Things like that matter now days. If anything you're the ones living in the past.

I don't want SCV to be made just so that I have a new game to play. I want it to meet it's potential and compete with SSF and Tekken at least beat out blazblue.
 
Arcade won't make a profit but still need a Japan/Asia at least release.
Namco is a Japanese company so they need/should think about us (they gave us SCIIIAE because the community asked for it).

We don't really play games at other people's houses (we've had to because of SCIV and that's one thing that hurt it), people meet up and play in the arcades. Almost all FG comps are arcade only. Namco/MS have sponored console comps but they were one time only comps.

I'm livin in Japan and that's one reason I'm focsuin on it, haha.
Didn't say it should be arcade first, just said/meant that eventually I'd/we'd like an arcade release.

I don't know the numbers but it seems that SCII AE did good over here, at least I know it was very popular cause I came in on the tail end of it.

SBO is sponsored by Arcadia (arcade game mag) so I think they will never go EVO style.
Don't think there will ever be an EVO style comp as big as SBO, at least not as long as SBO is around.
Not to cause any disrespect but consoles in Japan (outside the gaming community) are sorta thought of as non-serious, a little child-like you could say.
Even some of the playas in the FG community only play in the arcades, they don't own or play on consoles.

Not many people know the skillz of any of the JP playas (unless you've travelled over here) cause they don't/haven't been to international comps. There are some good playas over here.

I thought Daigo does pretty good in SF in international comps. SBO made him more famous at the least.
BLT was pretty good (he went to a few comps) but he didn't make it into SBO.
Before Malek went to the US and won he came over here to a TGN comp and he didn't win (he did pretty good though, also his hand was still healin). Always would like so see ya again over here BTW. ; )
 
Don't come at me with that WCG ish when you don't even know that StarCraft is actually in WCG.

TO's will put in whatever game brings in people. EVO had Calibur because it was new. EVO had Tekken because it was new. MLG had Tekken but people wanted SSF4 but that wasn't going to happen. Where does other communities respecting a game that they don't and won't understand come into play?

But regardless if it is in arcades or not, it needs to be great from the jump or else people are going to bash it unfairly and say that it's SC3 all over again. And if an arcade release gets the Japanese to play it, then I am for it. What can't happen is that there's one version in arcades and another on console or else it will defeat the purpose of putting it in the arcade and we'd be back to square 1.
 
You misread that...I am coming from the Starcraft community. What I meant was T6 was at WCG SSf4 wasn't. It's not a matter of just the communities, the TO themselves or even key decision makers in FG communities matter. I bet T6 will be at the next Evo.

You want the game in your hand as soon as possible but that does nothing for its future. SC4 is in our hands what have we done with it?

I think you would want to emulate everything other currently recognized FGs have done, and an Arcade release is a part of that.

Just don't noob it up, like they did with SC4 thank you.
