on a game, it's no wonder why a lot of people don't play it, and it's understandable why people might be scared to go to tournaments. I know there are people out there that just don't like playing the game
This.
This is one of my biggest problems with the FGC. You have SF4 kiddies on games because they're not made by Capcom. Does your game use 2D sprites? Does your game have an anime/manga art style? It's weeaboo shit and doesn't deserve to be played. We need to try harder to get our fair share of spotlight at tournaments but people need to realize that we're a part of this community just as much as they are,Capcom isn't the only company making fighting games and that we deserve respect too.
Edit: Also I just wanna say that I appreciate what you do for the community.
