I actually don’t think this will be a bad idea. Not sure how it will be degrading, there are men/women divided even in sports (basketball/football/futbol etc). So women having their own event in video games should be pretty kool (by that i mean, not degrading). Having these could probably get more chicks into fighting games once they see that there are girls out there who actually play fighters and well too! I don’t see nothin wrong with this idea :tup:
I vote lamergirl to join the ladies tourney. Bet it.

Fuck you nigs and that hello brother bullshit
I feel “most” women are or get intimidated to play against men. Which is why I believe we don’t see many take fighting games serious or feel like they would want to compete professionally. I think if we did give them a league of their own, we would start to see all a lot more women that are interested in fighting games. Eventually leading them to compete on a professional level without feeling so intimidated and potentially entering co-ed events as well.
This is an excellent idea for expanding our community, in this case more female competition. I back it 100%.

Do you guys ever read anythign on this site? Any chick that looks at this place wouldnt want to be up in a tourny with a bunch of douch ass dudes. Im not trying to talk shit but most of the guys here dont know how to act. And it gets even worse when a chick gets tossed into the mix. Then you gotta bunch of horny guys trying to act “cool” in front of the chick so they can 1, impress her and 2, so they can look cool to thier friends.
I guess a drunk teenage chick wouldnt mind, but someone like my wife probably would not want anything to do with something like this. Just for the reasons I stated.
p.s. dont get me wrong, im not saying anything bad about anyone. You guys are just guys, in your early 20’s. nuff said
Even though most dudes around my age are douche bags (I’m 25), you could also argue that most dudes in general are douche bags, regardless of age. You still have 40 year olds acting like the dumb 25 year olds.
And as for events, b-boy competitions have douche bag guys in attendance; sporting events DEFINITELY have douche bag guys in attendance; concerts have douche bags in attendance, etc.
Events will always have douche bags in attendance. But there are also the friendlies (Myself, Andry, Haunts, Lamerboi, etc.) who are also in attendance. If there’s anything that needs to be discussed, it would be how to encourage friendly or mature behavioral conduct if we were to do any type of all-female event (Which actually is just something you would want to encourage at ANY event for that matter)
And yeah, we are a bunch of guys that enjoy women (unless you’re gay) who play video games. In fact, I would say that women who play video games are either cool or just plain hawt (It’s like a chick who can drive stick-shift and drift). Does that mean I’ll disrespect them? Not at all.
Long story short, there are gonna be guys that will be head-over-heels for girls who can play games, that’s obvious. But let’s not forget about the other positive aspects that the community can offer to female gamers.
With that said, I personally don’t think that the douche bags should be a big concern. Rather, how can we communicate with them to help make events better and more appealing to a larger audience.

P.S. I am a douchebag. Girls, girls, girls, girls… girls I do adoreeee.
Yeah, I guess its different for me. Im the only man in my family. Its me and 9 women. =( I was forced to learn respect for the fairer sex at a very very young age. lol And for the most part, even you have to admit, that respect is missing on these forums.
edit - its cool if chicks want to do something like this I suppose. They can do whatever they want. I just think it would be better if these “girlfriends that just sit in the corner” got up and played. My wife doesnt play when I have friends over for casuals. She says thats my time to have fun with my friends. But she will play when thats not why everyone is together and a fg gets tossed in. She doesnt even like games. She only playes so she can be a part of something I like. She told me that one day and I told her if thats the case you’re really gonna have to learn. And she did.
hyper edit - im a douche on the forums as well and im sure if some chick that would have been interested in something like this wouldnt be after she saw a few of my posts. hehe
nobody thinks WNBA is degrading.

Quick! Hide the comic books!
I can’t wait for NCR, when the sign up sheet for female SF4 tournament is like…4 people long and all the males go “damn…so what did we spend three pages in a thread on SRK talking about? It was about chicks, but there wasn’t one boobie pic posted. Let’s go smoke.”.
You only got double P’d cause you forgot to wear the zebra pants.

but blueprint 3 is realllllllly good in it’s own way fosho
Bump please, I really want to see this event actually happen. =(
Wasn’t there an Asuka/Xiaoyu player streaking hella dudes in BR at SVGL on Labor Day? We can have a 1 woman/game tourney if someone can get her to show up :lol:
Any potential girl player would scared away by most of the retarded guy gamers that play nowadays.
On another note, very few girls at the moment have the competitive drive to be legitimately good. Not because they’re girls, but simply because they just don’t care as much about the game as perhaps a guy would. That reasoning also holds true for guys, since fighting games have always been a niche sort of thing, and the proportion of guys vs girls is obviously skewed towards guys.
Common sense, but eh. An all girl Norcal tourney would be interesting, but as it is there aren’t nearly enough girls to warrant one - and I’m talking about girls that have at least a vague idea of how to play, not spinning the stick and hitting buttons. Get a few girls with potential, see if this is their kind of hobby, and maybe down the line get some all girl tourney.
Also, shut the fuck up with that hello brother shit. It’s lame, gay and, like Andry said, old.
Edit: Andrew, stop sounding like a fucking creep with your posts.
