Needless to say, there has been some discussion sparking on twitter about the importance of both and some have different opinions on this. These opinions range from literal legends of the fighting game community that have been doing this for years. I'm not going to mention any names, but a few of them are big in Marvel and Street Fighter.
It came to the attention that some Money Matches are held on a greater scale than an actual tournament, meaning, if you win said money match... you'll get paid even more than if you won said tournament. Granted, to win a tournament you have to go through everyone else in the tournament and a money match you're essentially facing one other?
I'm making this thread to get some clarity on the issue at hand... is there a foundation down deep enough to where we can all understand which one is more important?
If you have two players, maybe in a case where they hate each other, they are planned for a money match or a prize fight... at ECT4 there was a 5K money match between RayRay and a someone who's name escapes me... began with a "D" I think? Forgive me... anyway, I am admittedly making this thread out of curiosity of what others think and though, my intentions may be naive... it's an honest question.
Which is more important? At what point is the other more important? How seriously should money matches be taken?
