Pretty much this yeah.
Plus they are f’n stupid, if that altered NA’s release of even getting CS
well who’s to say that BB CS exhebition tournament won’t happen at evo… anythingis possible… like playing it on your pc a few months after releae haha
unless Aksys somehow has a surprise and basically backtracks on what they said to dustloop dudes, or evo starts endorsing piracy, then its extremely unlikely
From what I’ve read in this thread, it’s like 80% guys complaining. lol.
I believe that fact that not a single woman has placed top 8 is what’s degrading (not that there is a ‘supposedly’ insulting female tournament at Evo this year). I know men don’t necessarily have an advantage over women in fighting games but c’mon, if it hasn’t happened by now than this whole Female tournament is really just all that CAN be done. Bottom line: look at reality, girls are not as big a part of the SF scene as people would like. It’s either this or we can just stay where we are now.
Oh, and guys don’t look too down on the girls who enter, some girl is gonna be holding a check that you won’t.:razz:
BTW,my girlfriend is super excited to make a fighting game debut at both Evo and the female tournament. (I’ve seen LOSF and Choco videos {she knows the Blanka matchup} and I’d still put my money on her for the Femme Fatale tourney). To all the people here who are comparing this to the Special Olympics. I can assure you there will be some talented ladies showing up. Be sure of it.

Inkblot: I have to agree completely with Mooyang on this one. It does sound very hypocritical to say that the girls-only tournament is due to the fact that there are a lot of women who just started playing SF4, while the very same thing can be said about the men. I know players who started with SF4 and I consider them to be some of the best in California. Male-dominated scene or not, someone has to break the glass ceiling and I don’t see a circus act being proper motivation.
It’s the female demographic’s INTEREST they’re trying to encourage. Male players who’ve started SF4 as their first FG game were probably excited as f***. I can say that I’m relativelly new to the fighting game scene and SF4 is the first game that I wanted to get good at before it even came out. This tournament especially being SUPER Street Fighter IV is definately going to encourage some women since it’s fresh. How can you say that’s it’s hypocritical? Every single winner of EVO ever has been male, so adding males ‘who are new’ doesn’t target another demographic. A larger proportion of women showing up to the largest FG tournament in the United States would be awesome. And I believe anyone who doesn’t want this tournament to take place is either just a) sore that the Femme Fatale supposedly took up a spot on the list b)guys who really don’t want women to get some spot light C)a small percentage of females who don’t want more females coming in and hogging the attention from them
That’s a lot of words to say “I haven’t read a word anybody has said, but I’m going to tell everybody what they think anyway.”
It doesn’t take a genius to see that this thread is 34 pages of "this female tourney is a bad idea."
Why don’t you address the argument or the points I’ve made for it and not my generalization of what people’s arguments against it are?
Bazinga
It’s hard to address the absence of a point. Speaking of pointlessness, that’s a good way to summarize a discussion with a person who has a demonstrated lack of interest in knowing what the opposing side’s point of view is but wants to argue about it regardless.
I made some good points so maybe you should read my posts before your little “comeback.” Listen hypocrite go and read my posts, there are only 2. Alot easier than 34 pages (which I’ve read).
Interest just hasn’t been there in the female demographic for fighting games. They obviously haven’t been herding in with record numbers.You’re an idiot if you think by doing nothing considerably more women will enter Evo. There is also the intimidation factor of competing in a National tournament. A female only tourney may inspire women to compete for a better chance to win, morale, attention, money, whatever the reason.
How have I “demonstrated a lack of interest in knowing what the opposing side’s POV is ?” I’ve read this entire thread and the one solely dedicated to the SSFIV female tourney. People who are against the tourney fall into categories and i’ve been spot on in identifiying them. So get to readin’.
Oh lawd…
