Eh debatable. I dont think no one in this community is scared based on the support some vetrans have given newcomers and encouraging them to go. No should be scared.

But its good to meet new people! In terms of the game: the more people you meet then the more playstyles you are exposed too. Japanese players play extremely from american players. Singoporean players play different too. Therefore you understand tactics and learn more about the game.

This can also be said in different states and regions. Ex norcal has different character variation then socal so thry have different styles of play.

Meeting people is good in general. Make friends make enemies. You get support......for real life. I mean most of these players, especially vetrans, are thankful to have gone to a tournament and meet new people. For all i know these people probably changed their life in a positive way.

I'd be all over tournaments if there was any sort of local scene. Some people don't have the option, man. They're not cheap, and they're not easy to get to (for a lot of people).

You live in Southern California and you're acting like it's a long trip, and if your bud could make it, anyone can, lol...It's a lot more than 60bucks for the ride there for a lot of people man; that's what you have to understand. Not to mention other obligations.

Fighters are gonna have to level up, and get to having a respectable online scene sooner or later. That's where things are headed. Look at RTS, MOBA's, MMO's, look at all the other competitive genres. They all have events, but they all have a competitive online scene to support them. I wonder why fighters don't try and do the same?

You wouldn't be complaining about people not participating in events, I'll tell you that!

I went to EVO by myself and I must say that it was probably the best decision I made. It forced me to actually go and hang out with the guys from the community. If you have the ability to go then you should go.

This is a good community and someone said it best in a tournament thread " You just have to say you're from 8wr to someone and they say back oh me too, lets be friends" I'm paraphrasing but that's really how it is.
