And even if it did, I would've been like the Smash Bros tourney scene, which is very much a separate thing outside of the regular fighting game community.
The Smash scene is kind of depressing.
It is completely separate from regular fighting games to begin with, and even within this isolation, it's broken down into different groups.
The Melee crowd and the Brawl crowd are separate, and don't get along.
The Brawl crowd is further broken down into the people who play Brawl as is, and people who play the fan-altered Brawl games (of which there are more than one).
It's like a "How to" guide on how communities shouldn't be.

I wasn't talking about Ireland in that post. And how big are the "huge" tournaments you're talking about? Particularly in America, I'm not really bothered what those headers in Brazil and Chile were up to. :pac:
boards search function...ugh
im not the stats keeper of all mk lol
do u know the amount of people who went to every sf3 tourny in america?
the game was out in 93 and still has tournies to this day how bigger do u want to be? it was more popular in american arcades than sf was at the time also, so if the sf scene was to be called a huge one, mk had it the same0 -

No, but I know 3s didn't get great numbers in the USA for the first 5 or so years it was out (Evo 2003 or 2004 I think it started picking up). That said I'm sure in general it had much bigger numbers than any of the MK games when it was being played, and it was an extremely divisive game that plenty of people hated and refused to play.
The fact that the game came out in 93 and still has tournaments doesn't say a single thing about how big the tournaments are dude. If I had held a weekly Breakers Revenge tournament for the last 20 years with 2 people every week that doesn't mean it has a huge scene.
I think you're confused as to the time period people talk about when we're talking about the fighting games scene (in America particularly, but Europe too). It's mostly the 2000s people are talking about, not when SF2 was new in the arcades (apart from Doom).
Sure there was a scene before that, and plenty of tournaments, etc., but it was a lot more fragmented, and anything before the first Evo, or B3, or B2, whatever point you want to put it at, is ancient history. The time period I was talking about is when Evo was running and getting people from across America (and the world) together to play, and events like Absolution were being run in the UK, etc.
Over the last ten years or so I'm pretty sure MK hasn't had much of a look in.0 -

ok i thought we were talking about FGs as a whole not from 2000 onwards,
i was saying about how long its been out and still being played for the fact off it had that much of a scene thats its still going now,no game 10+years old just picks up a brand new scene but the mk2/mk3 scene was so big that now its still going, that was my point...and not in 2 man tournies in basements either, search up about it
"Over the last ten years or so I'm pretty sure MK hasn't had much of a look in"
just because it wasnt a evo? just because it wasnt were u were looking?
cmon man dont be so closed minded because you dont know about it
also while reading through the request thread my point of the forum was started for all FGs and not just sf kinda seems pretty valid from the things im reading
anyways i grow weary on defending mk, even when its not needed, so....

edit: And correct, it was started as a forum for all Fighting Games, but the only reason it was ever a possibility on boards was because of the resurgeance in fighting games SF4 caused, and it was 99% SF4-related posts for quite a long time.
sir i respect the hell outta you for the things ive been told u did/still do for the IFGC but in the words of Bill Menoutis..stop,just stop
i never said u said there wasnt a scene???
ive explained what i can from the mk2/umk3 days and if being bigger than any other fighting game at the time in mk2 case isnt "huge" to you, im sorry i couldnt explain more
also ive already said that the sf kommunity was/is the glue that held everything together here,i very thankful for that aswell
i can onto this thread to talk about sfxt, saw mk being mentioned and used it as a example in replying to doom, i dont want to/need to argue with people about mk, im sure theres enough people that dislike me for things ive said before and dont need that added too0 -

Seriously stop typing "kommunity" and "kombos".
ok but then people have to stop typing "light" "medium" or "heavy"..."short" "foward" and "roundhouse" will have to go aswell, even the short hand version offends me
im also offended by "DP" and "QCF" or "QCB" as they are not to do with the game i play so i dont want anyone one else typing them on a gaming internet forum
thank you
