Ok, first off before I go on a few things here. The dude whoever he was who said SF and Marvel are way more popular then MK in USA? uhh no....
I'll bet you anything that MK in this country is way more popular overall and being KNOWN to be one of America's best games, much less franchises in video game history in America. Period. And not even just America, look at europe, canada, south america etc. TONS of MK fans...this site is kind of proof of that... Secondly, which a ton of people already covered, ANY game online=will lag. I don't care what server it's on, what company or what game. All games online, lag. But that was already covered by Sabin I believe.
Exactly. I dont have less to moderate and approve new accounts daily.
I understand the online players show everyone else the game is more alive, but i could care less about the online side of things, and I certainly dont care to hear much about people stating they support MK but still refuse to be apart of the offline scene.
I think what K7, my god among others were saying earlier is that some people have this mentality, elitist attitude offline>>>online players automatically which isn't right...
And the problem with that is, I'm sure a lot of the online players who are good regardless of "tourney amount, offline casuals or online casuals" let's be real here, chances are if someone is doing impressive shit online, I'm SURE they can manage offline. And I'm not talking about lag tactics, i'm talking strategy. Also dude, I know you and the other offline guys don't want to hear this but you will anyway, there are OTHER ways to yes indeed support MK. I for one have most likely dished out more money on various editions of the same game to support NRS for their hard work more then the average MK fan. And not just with games, guides, MK merchandise, etc. The little things that aren't so little that also help support MK.
See what you guys are talking about is supporting the MK offline scene. You have to realize that new people sign up every day not just "the offline scene" most people on here can't attend every event offline even though they want to due to life, location or other reasons. I've noticed this site attracts MK fans in general.
On a side note, I don't believe in this philosophy that "you must win tournaments to prove you're good" hardly, as far as I'm concerned, you win tournaments locally in general, it's still tournament right? I mean different areas also have different "levels" of comp. You're telling me Tenn offline gigs compare to say NYC or LI players?
Or alberta compared to LA?
Point is, you can prove you're good by just holding your own or doing well in offline casuals. One thing I've noticed about the guys who constantly go to every offline event, they may say they're playing casually offline but they're playing seriously. I can tell...it's really obvious. Now will they pick their mains as in a tournament for money? Perhaps not but still playing serious. Much like online people do, but obviously offline is more legit due to the no lag tactics etc
I don't think online people should be complaining about something they have no interest in attending ever, however I also feel that the offline guys that have been doing this for years shouldn't judge "every online player" just because they've yet to show up to anything, did it ever occur to you that some of us want to but just can't due to other reasons? I had two tooth pulled today, not only is that serious money but I'm in serious pain....atm
Clearly, these guys who go everywhere with no job HAVE money, are spoiled or have buddies helping them out financially. Don't ignore this, not all of us are that fortunate. I understand you guys wanting to spread word of an offline MK scene, but to some of the online guys you come off as "forcing them" to do something.
Plus, remember without those online players you really think you'd be getting so many new members here daily? Online whether it's from xbox or psn people spreading the word about TYM or people finding it on their on via google search, FOUND this site because of ONLINE/internet....not offline. Just saying...
Sidenote: you may want to allow all of your members access to the offline forums, that may help increase your chances of seeing more people or at least telling them there is a match making forum up top (where nobody looks)
Like I said earlier in my initial post who a ton of people thanked apparently...
Until there's a mutual respect between the online and offline players, this will continue to be a thorn in the side of the MKC....and this thread is proving my point with the replies after reading thru it.
