Thats a misconception IMO. You don’t have to post on a forum to set casual matches. YTou just need a quarter and you can do them alive if the players are there. For MMs, you need some planning, and that’s why they’re all over the INTERNET.
Its all a matter of degree. What if you want legal advice for free? Or medical consultations? As long as there is a demand for it (legal advice, english lessons, golfing lessons, videogame matches) money will be exchanged.
Heh I love threads like these…
Anyway you think MM are dumb but without them Marvel would be dead. And if you don’t think so you are just in denial. Money matches just makes Marvel more fun these days. The best part about MM are everybody can get into them even if they don’t play Marvel. Perfect example was Duc vs Sanford last year at EVO. Yeah it was fun to watch when they played during the tournament, but it was like the greatest show on earth when they played with 3000 on the line.
Also most players in here are right about top-players. I will play anybody but if I feel I’m better than you I will fool around. However if you wanna play for money, I don’t care if I’m better than you or not, I’m gonna play for real. Plus if gives up and coming players a chance to play top-players.
Money Matches also help players get good especially if they have no tournaments in their area. Two perfect examples are Yipes and Erik. You think them two got through tournaments? Hell no! They we betting every week at Chinatown with the $yndicate stepping their game up. Now look at them now, GODLIKE!!!
I do see your point about not to be able to do some casuals anymore because of MM but honestly, so what? It’s a small price to pay for the community to keep going. So say what you want about MM but if they weren’t around, you probably be playing 3s or Guilty Gear.
soooo… ummm Derek… can you paypal me my money back that you won in the hotel at FRX ;( lol
haha 4th, you’re just too good !
