SCV Lack of Support & Community Binding

[DopeDojo]

Why is it that most of the major tournaments these days don't include Soul Calibur V? Arguably the game would make for a better choice then something like Persona 4 or even KOF. Is it the lack of over the top flash and borderline seizure inducing cinematics?

I'm in no way a hater of the Arc Systems fighters or games like them but I find it almost sickening that SCV isn't really promoted as much as any other fighting game. It simply doesn't get the praise it deserves. SCV is a well put together fighting game with intricate layers of skill that you need to master in order to be proficient at it.

Me and the two other members of Dope Dojo live in Northern California [East Bay] and we're just floored at the overall lack of a real SCV community. So much so we're considering driving to Houston in April just to participate in a major that MAY host the game. What we really want to do is bind the community of players here in the East Bay or in NorCal in general. Try to set up a local tournament, something, ANYTHING to get the blood pumping through this community again.

Come on people, where the love at?!!

i think it's because the game didn't get much support from Namco or Project Soul so that's naturally gonna happen with the people that play the game. it's partially dependent on the devs to keep a game's lifespan going. but i also think that America is more fond of 2D fighters as well. I mean how many 3D games made it into EVO?

Namco showed more than enough support for SCV and more than most games tend to get. The reason why is that the players don't show up to events, no more, no less. People may not show up for whatever reason that they don't, but it's still their fault.
