Many people think this game has passed its peak after 2004-2007.
Many countries outside of Japan around the world had big communities with great players… US, UK, Canada, France, Australia, Brazil, China, Hong Kong. Even Korea and Taiwan have SBO representative teams recently.
If there was a ‘World Cup’ kind of tournament, there would be many countries that would send a good team. Japan would be the favorites to win it…
with the surge in retrogaming (new respect for 2d art), a proper xbla release, general renewed interest in SF thanks to 4/super, and general disappointment in 4, i’d say we have a perfect storm for a 3s revival where a world cup-style tournament could easily become a reality.
isn’t there something like this going on around evo-time? since they dropped 3s from the roster? world championships of 3s or something?
also, very shitty that 3s was dropped from evo, leads me to believe they’ll only hold tournaments for games to promote their sale, and right now you can’t really buy 3s new, so why hold a tournament for it? same deal w/ ST, if it’s not something people can go buy, they won’t give it any publicity. guess that’s the price you pay for corporate sponsorship.
