Wait what do you mean bout that???
Well they seem to be the most active and tend to push out the best talent the US has. That said this is a diverse country and you can’t really base things regionally. You have to have a lot of data to really tell what the community really is. Hopefully MLG will give us more numbers to work on.
Yea I understand, I’m afraid that MK gets play a little bit and then push for something aside like Tekken or SCV (No offense to Their community though)
I don’t think that is the case. The problem is not that the people who show up for the Majors care more about Capcom, it is that not enough people who care about MK show up to support. I’m sure Mortal Kombat out sold any other game in SoCal, but it didn’t translate to bodies in the seats and viewers on the streams. Let me get this out there, I am not hating on MK the game, I bought it and bought all the DLC characters. Who I am blasting is the people who play MK not showing up. Maybe the MK scene will grow over time, who’s to say, but too many people want this game to get instant respect without its players putting in the time grow the scene from the bottom up.
I get what you’re coming from and I understand,but I’m trying to say is that I believe its just regionally.The FGC in the west coast might be like that but in the south I can say with confident that its right up there with SSF4 and UMvC3.
I agree that MK doesn’t get near the participation of Capcom games, but it’s not as universally grim as you make it out to be. Here’s a bracket from one of our recent Virginia locals:

For a local with no major money on the line that’s a pretty good turnout I’d say.
Good, MK9 is a decent game, even with the glitches. Hope this helps out the MK community.
I disagree that I am being universally grim. But come on that tourney had WINBACK and Tom Bradey 
The fact that MK has great turnout in some areas and shit turnout in other places shows that the MK community is running the risk of becoming regional. If it becomes regional the MK community only have themselves to blame. NRS studios did it’s part. It made a good game that has out sold most other games out there. MK hasn’t let the community down, the community has let MK down.
I’m not discounting the game, my complaint is with the players. Sure the game is still “alive” but I see no signs the scene is growing as much as it should.
You expecting people at a yes, rinky dinky ranbat to play MK tells you the community isnt what you think is a personal insult to me. (Seems to me, more people liked my comment than yours, so what does that tell you?)MK players in that area dont go, then what does that tell you? There isnt any serious MK players in the area. The game is big enough for Evo, twice, and our community is a lot bigger and stronger than most other communities, so take your BS somewhere else. And no NRS hasnt done quite enough.Making a good game sometimes isnt enought. But if you are so damn worried, then stop trolling. its that simple. You think your hot shit trying to start shit with the other staff here at SRK with me stomping your ignorance, but that says more about you than it does me, you butthurt fool.
PS- Josh and 'Twain are good peeps too. this has nothing to do with them or any other SF4 players.
i feel you… But one huge reason is because people dont want to accept the game. This site is an example. Everything that mk got as featured news people would shit on it. Any awards or even combo vids people would shit on it n talk about how this game is all 'low pokes and jump in kicks.'
This game has evolved and the successful players have adapted. We have an awesome and helpful community with top players being some of the most helpful people. People just have to give us another chance honestly
Say what you want, But this game was most likely picked for the same reason it wins awards
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE GORE SO MANLY AND COOL
Never played MK9 in depth but WELP
No the reason it won awards was becasue of its story mode, the fact that it was one of the few fighting games that actually was appealing to both Casual gamers and Hardcore gamers also it sold more copies than SFIV and MvC3…nuff said.
This was pretty funny until I realised you were being serious. Worldwide MK doesn’t scratch Street Fighter. Unless you’re one of the people that think Americas sales are absolute.
And yeah, I get you love MK9, I respect that, but I can’t take MK9 as anything more than a casual fighter at best. I want to play it to make a proper judgement, But I can only really see this game being picked because it’s “Less embarrasing” to play than all of those “Horrible Anime games” If you get me?
I know, I sound arrogant, I don’t mean it really. It’s late and im not sure how to word this.
There…I worded it better for you.
I dont like this game but good for the MK community. Dont really see how this is a negative thing.
I don’t like the game in particular, but i’m happy that people are noticing that fighting games are legit.
Its a good thing, great for MK9 peeps.
Sorry if I hit a nerve, Buddy.
It still got higher than BlazBlue, and in NEC it got more entries than KOF.

The difference between Kof and MK9 in terms of majors is not high at all.
I didn’t know about it until it was too late, otherwise I would’ve been right there with you.
