nt for SSF4AE but still).
IMO melty just needs more positive hype-building exposure to the fg scene in general, and I'm really not sure Evo is the best route to try and build that, considering how traditional the evo scene is.
I think we're better off trying to draw players in from the specifically MVC3 scene or the blazblue scene than the general capcom/srk scene.
Capcom fans never truly embraced the game when it was highly accessible on the PS2 and every popular Capcom title was 8+ years old, so I'm having a very hard time picturing how we could do a better job at convincing Capcom players to play our game nowadays. With the way the fighting game scene is now, MB has yet another
hurdle of bias to overcome: the hype factor. The only games that get any attention from fighting game players and outsiders alike, these days, are the games that have prizes over $5,000k per tournament and have a variety of streams that show case high level matches from professional players. MB is an excellent, well balanced game, but being a good game never seemed to be good enough in my experience, to convince a Capcom player to try a completely different fg, like MB. These days it's even harder to convince someone to play a game where the scene for it is virtually dead, has no netplay at the moment, or any hype at all.
Personally, I think BB or AH players would be the easiest to convince. Capcom players have been traditional biased and stubborn when it comes to considering other fgs. It's even worst nowadays, since a lot of Capcom players are new and have only played SF4/MvC3. I think we're pretty fucked here.
