With enough money and man power, this can be done. However, I agree that we need to start small and then build up. MK gets a bad rap. MK games and the community are looked down upon. The only respectful people are UMK3 players and the game itself. At least this is what I have perceived. Now the part about MK games being bad, there's really nothing we can do about that. The only thing we can do is tell them why they are good, or what good aspects they have. Like 9.95 said, education.
Another thing about education I thought would be nice is teaching. If more people knew how to play MK games, there would be a lot more interest. I am not suggesting everyone go out and find players and teach them individually, albeit you can do this. One idea is through YouTube. I saw this on SRK and thought it was a good idea. We can post match videos of top players, and put in commentary of the match. What's going on, what the players are trying to do, etc. For example what UltraDavid did for SFIV here:
. Some tutorial videos would also be very helpful.
Another thing we can do is start hosting tournaments. Hosting them ourselves. MK would be the main titles, and we could have other games there as well. The problem is finding people in your area that likes MK. This can be done by visiting the various gaming websites. Such as MKU, MKE, CMK, SRK, etc. See what MK games they like/play.
As far as the big picture, Evo for MK, this is a goal we all should have. Hopefully, MK9 is good. If so, this may be a lot easier. In any case, keep the ideas coming.
