Even if MBAA port is good, and it doesn't matter if it was ps2/pc, it'll still be the same 5 people actually traveling (outside of their state) to events to play this game.
Oh, quit your anti-hype. MBAA console is getting pretty hyped up and I'm all for it. The melty scene actually has a decent amount of people who are willing to travel to events now and a ps2 port is only going to strengthen that.
Not being anti-hype, it's the truth really. The only people that I've seen travel out of their general are to tourneys are Chibi, Spooky, Zar, Bell, Zaelar, and a few others I might have forgotten. It's been that way for a couple years, I don't honestly see it changing. If people do end up traveling, that's great, they'll prove me wrong, but atleast Evo (not this year unfortunately) is pretty much the Melty major, it's just a shame it only happens once a year. I really do hope MBAA does blow up though, it has really been changed for the better. Ecole don't fuck this one up too.
