It is a console only tournament but you have to take into consideration the fact that not everyone trains or even has access to the console version.

No one wants to roll up to Evo and get scrubbed out by some shit you’ve never seen before.

speak for yourself asshole.

HI5

Oh, fair enough.

the real reason that he isn’t allowed is that in korean and jap tournies he’s still banned as far as I know, once they tell the USA players that its ok to pick him, they will follow suit.

Cuz he’s way too OG for this tournament shit.

Cause he brings dat fiya.

the beard is too intense for projection screens

Simple reason is, is that hes a boss character, he was never intended to played amongst the other cast at a competitive level. This is the same all fighters, it doesn’t even matter if he is too good or just average, he would still be banned.

Except, he clearly was, as he’s playable by normal means in PS3 DR.

This is stupid anyway. I have my answer, stop bumping this abortion of a thread.

You have clearly not read JOP’s post or played his Jinpachi.

Or asked someone about it, on a serious level.

Well, yes. Clearly. That was the general reasoning behind this thread.

Actually, that logic is retarded. Not everyone has access to the console version? more people have access to that than the arcade since you can buy console versions for relatively cheap. i’m not a fan of boss chars in tournies but the logic here doesn’t hold.

Not everyone has a PS3. Which happens to be the only platform Jinpachi is only available on(PS2 if you use some gameshark or some shit).

Tekken DR is only on PS3. You idiot.

Edit-Let’s assume that was a misquote.

So… your logic is more people have access to a poorly distributed ARCADE CABINET than a home console…

Right… think about that and then ask yourself why EVO is console again.

Cape got his answer. So the real question here is…

Where is your Jojo money match thread?

is it the same reason why sentinal is banned in mvc2 this year?
