Lol.. This makes me scratch my head.

Someone suggests two good players play each other, and it's "nah, exhibitions are bad". But then 3 days ago "Why aren't we as big as Capcom"?

Well, here's how things go on that side of the fence. Exhibition matches happen all the time. It's not made into this huge deal of "Oh they have to have beef, and it has to be in tournament, and blah". They just play -- and they *make* it hype.

They will stick Mike Ross and K Brad or somebody on commentary, and they will make it exciting. Throw together a salty suite or whatever you need to create the atmosphere. It's all in good fun and people just want to see what will happen.

This is how it used to be in our community as well; and it's something we need to get back. All this "well if there's no pot bonus, who cares" mentality is exactly what kills the kind of outside community hype that we should be trying to build.

If anything, you get to see some good matches, and possibly even learn something (especially given that it's postpatch now).

Do you really think that if NuckleDu and Kazunoko were going to play each other for kicks the community would be like "nah breh, not hype unless it's in tournament"?

We have to get past this and just learn to make our community fun again. Not everything has to be 100% serious, all the time.

He has said no on these forums to a few challenges. Since he can beat anyone, this had to be the reason.
Well we all know he can't beat anyone everyone loses .but half the shit ppl type on here I would take it with a grain of salt as well but also for the mirror against young monsta was sonic challenging him

we have been spoiled, really, on top of being a small community thus sticking to old principles because there's no new brains to mix things up
and when they come and try to have a say, the more respected names just move to twitter instead of leading newcomers

also, honesly there's been too much money on the line for mkx
big part of that came off self fundings like costumes but still prizepot/playercount is a silly ratio
hence the need to play for cash rather than just being the best player in the set

He can beat anyone. He's proven that.

No one has ever beaten everyone every time in anything.

MK is much bigger than Sfv where it matters

I'm assuming your implying to Nrs titles only then if so then yes I agree because I know for sure it wasn't in sfv can't speak on skull girls or tekken since I don't follow those games in the a competitive level

No one is freaking out. The match is just pointless unless tournament placing is on the line. Neither guy is a heel, there is no rivalry, etc.

Thats what I thought till we saw salty Sonic after the Kombat Cup 8. Call it whatever you want but I wouldn't be surprised if something pops out of the blue...

and what if they don't meet in tournament, at all?
it's not like everyday TM goes all the way over there

we NEED the match to happen regardless
to me it'd be super hype because f**k pre-patch alien and I really want to see who might be the better player

Thank you good Sir

... I don't see why this (an exhibition) is a bad idea at all
Yes, tournament is priority but why not get some hype going on the side..

What you mean ? What are you trying to say ? Of Course Sonic is the better player and Alien had absolutely nothing to do with him winning EVo.

I'm not knowledgeable enough to judge in Skullgirls, but it looks like he's really good at it. In SFV, he uses an underpowered character and has beaten some serious players and he's considered an up-and-comer.

People are missing the point. No one is saying "this is a terrible idea, don't do this". If this happens, it'll likely be a great set that people will watch.

People are just pointing out that this won't be what some people are making it out to be i.e. Proof of who the better player is, match of the century etc.

An exhibition between these two competitors would murder the perception of rivalry that we, the community, have built up to be.
It's the Doom and Gloom express, lol.

Of course exhibition matches don't automatically prove who the better player is -- but neither does a single FT2/3 tournament set on any given day, either. However, people are making it sound like the end of the world :)

You'll have to forgive me, I don't pay attention to those people.

But yeah, anyone who is freaking out about it may as well be ignored. It'd be cool if it happens, but it's not something I'd personally get overly excited by

I'd want them to do a FT10 exhibition just because of how hype it would be to see these two playing each other again, even if it's just for fun.

Yes, that's right, you're still allowed to do things just for fun. There doesn't have to be rivalry, beef, money etc to make it worthwhile to watch or to make it happen at all.
