I think the bigger problem is that they usually only have 5 or 6 games at evo due to time constraints. With UMVC3, SSF4AE2012, SFxT, TTT2, Skull Girls, and MK, thats 6 games already. So unless TTT2 doesn't get released before EVO 2012, then we don't have a shot in hell.
Not that big of a deal since MB won't occupy console setups.
For that reason alone it could be easier to get it in than yet another PS3 game.
The only thing we need now is to hype it up get enough people to play it when it comes out.
Also TTT2 won't be on console in time for the next Evo, and the arcade ver. will bring the T6 back to a coma for the next year.
So the candidates are: SF4,UMVC3,SFXT,MK9,SC5,BBCSE,SG,KOF13 and now MB. That's 9 games!
At this point trying to push one game to "beat" other games for a spot is stupid and unproductive for the scene.
I think it's better if all the communities (while focusing on expanding the current player bases for their respected games) also unite to push for a bigger event with room for more games.
I don't really agree with this, but he's kind've on to something. Why pussyfoot around trying to convince other people to play our game and get to doing some work ourselves. If Ehrik's crow apartment was any indication, it's pretty easy to get our community together (whether they've been out of the loop or not) for a general "poverty" event. We can have MBAA as the main game of course, but also games like AH3, Skull Girls, and a bunch of other games active games that melty players generally play. I put poverty in quotations because I would just want it to be a general event of underplayed games, not complete poverty and old games, unless they have a strong hidden following (like EFZ, which we would want to bring out) It would basically just take getting a venue, 5 niggas to bring out their computers, 5 niggas to bring out TVs and setups, 3 stream equips and a ton of advertising.
I'm not saying it wouldn't be hard (especially getting a venue), but we do have the resources (We can definitely manage between all of us the streams/setups) and connections (some of us definitely could get this advertised in big spots) to do so as a community and I think it would be a lot more proactive than just posting about how we can't get into Evo.
And if you really want to get in over your head, you can think about what this would grow into. It could start as a one day event at some venue annually in NY/NJ/PA, but then in 2 years be a weekend event. In 3 years, a bi-annual weekend event. In 5 years, who knows?
And the worst thing that happens is at the end of the day it's just ~25 melty players sitting around playing melty and poverty games.
But if we really like MBAACCPC when it drops and netplay makes it really popular, I think it's worth atleast one shot next spring.
