The community is obviously burnt out, except for Rokunaya, and I gotta give him props for being zealous about Melty, yet not overzealous as SOME OTHER PERSON THAT SOME OF US WE MAY KNOW THAT PLAYS A FIGHT WITH ROYALTY IN IT.
I legit have no idea who you're talking about lol
Anyways I actually have not been as zealous about this game as I used to be, I just do some things because I feel obligated to. So thanks for the props guys but I'll honestly try to have fun with this game agian this summer; I'm going to put in serious work. If it all blows up in my face I'll seriously legit move on, and that also means MB is probably straight up done. But considering the fact that I see tons of interest lurking underground that goes untapped and that I seem to be the only one willing to tap that underground scene, I'm riding my hopes on this game being able to ride out on that alone. I seriously think the underground following of MB is large enough to warrant such a belief, and if I'm wrong there's always P4U.
I only ask that people in NJ attend locals, gatherings, and if you're not in NJ, be willing to teach players. I actually know a large number of beginners wanting to play this game but get turned off by the fact that no one really tries to help them--- hell, if I didn't get Tonberry/LK as practice partners when I first started out, I'd have felt the same fucking way, so I really understand this. Promote my videos, help beginners, be willing to play new players for at least ft5 and offer basic tips. This is what can keep us going for a while, and the effects of this aren't trivial; without trying hard enough i recruited roughly 10 people into the 'Rokrew'. You all can do it too, I just ask that you try. And if you don't want to be bothered, point newbies in the direction of people who ARE willing, like myself, or my videos.
P.S.:
Distance and tournaments are seriously an issue and I'm aware of this being a victim of it myself. With such a large cast and low number of people it's hard to play often, but if you go recruiting... well, you'd be surpised what can happen when you legit try.
