Why don't you attend tournaments?
1st reason why i don't attend tourneys is actually a lack of tourneys itself for nrs games here in Manila, while we do have a great community here, most of the games being featured are sf, umvc3, and other anime fg's, we kinda like relied too much on the other organizers to do the tournaments for us, but we do mostly have it like once in every 2-3 months, that's why we're just planning to organize tournaments for injustice mk on our own, since we do have weekly casuals.
the price incentive isn't much of a factor, since joining tourneys here is pretty cheap only for 3 dollars usually ,but we're planning to raise the stakes high, the type that would draw in other players from other games in
chance of winning isn't really a problem since its either me or my brother
Marcus who wins the tournaments here for nrs games,
its not that tournaments here are poorly organised or boring, it is actually hype and is a lot of fun, but the only problem is the frequency of it, i can say that it takes too long for the next tournament too come and other players might get too busy with work or school or other reasons because of long intervals
fighting games is one of our passions, we all have our own fulltime work or school in here, but if we have the time, we try our best to level up and play our best, we are having fun when we play competitively with each other

Will online replace offline scenes in future? How long until netcode is indistinguishable from offline?
in our case here in the philippines, no, cause the internet here sucks so bad, you cant even go online through psn or xbl decently, unless you are willing to pay an overpriced and super expensive connections built for office use
and yeah, you can play with others here lag free during casuals offline
