If you want to bring hype to the community, bet on a match in the tournament. Realistically speaking noone in this community outside of four people (Zar, Spooky, Arlieth, and perhaps Psylocke) should be bothering with money matches or trying to hype up shit with money matches. That entire MM was full of dropped BnB's, botched iad's, 2'as, and just overall sloppy play. If you didn't realize it, the only people actually watching the MM where the curious smash players, because you two decided to hold it in the same room their tournament was being run in. Like I said, noone knew the results until half an hour after it was finished.
You know what's real hype? EC vs WC. That's major growth potential there. Now we can actually do that. Hell, Zar vs Spooky. Arlieth vs Nerina. Where you know either side isn't going to be dropping shit, and where the level of play will be high. Lord if Spooky had shown up to FRXI this weekend you wouldn't believe the amount of rape he would have done. That shit would be welcome on the big screen as a showcase to people watching.
So stop worrying about the community. We're not going anywhere but up. You got your second win, Choco got his money, big shit. Just stop trying to push MM's like they're actually worth anything right now because they just aren't, not even close.
And who gives a shit about Sports Jews and Smellmonkey. Let them run their mouth like the rest of the folks who have been for the past half a decade, shit ain't new.
