Frosty Faustings IV Tournament Results and Archive

Maybe your just blind to the fact that things change. Maybe you haven’t been paying attention to the fact that SRK has been trying to cover all things related to fighting games not just Capcom and EVO series.  Either way I fail to see how YOU have knowledge of what the non-tournament or tournament player is interested in.

I am glad to see how you sidestep addressing the core component of your argument and instead would rather (attempt) to insult me instead.  This is the sign of a weak counter-argument.

Things change?  I stated that in my own post in how they are trying to cater to non-tournament players more…do you even remember what this site was like 5-7 years ago?

Trying to cover all things related to FGs?  So what does a “Mortal Kombat dance-off” have anything to do with a FG aside from the fact that it’s using it as source material?  You realize that they could have used anything instead of Mortal Kombat as its context and achieve the same result right?  Thus nullifying the unique attributes that Mortal Kombat has (that uh, it’s a FG?).  

Are they highlighting more FGs?  Well, kind of, if you include combo videos and random news unrelated to you know, actual competitive play as highlighting other FGs, then sure.  If I wanted news on Guilty Gear, Soul Calibur, Tekken, etc. I would go to their respective, specialized sites for that…which is what most people who actually care about those titles do.  If you look at stuff that actually applies to meaningful competitive play, then there is still a massive bias for Capcom games…

This all comes back to what I’ve been saying from the get-go, it’s clear that SRK is trying to cater more and more to the non-competitive crowd and it doesn’t take a genius (or perhaps in your case, maybe it would) to see that.  SRK understands that by prioritizing its own interests (which they should) and putting APEX above non-Evo series tournaments will benefit them in the end, which is what they should be doing.  Running SRK and the Evo series requires a lot of time and capital and there really is no reason for them to expand beyond their bounds for minimal returns.  Why would a non-tournament player care about FFIV?  It has nothing to do with the Evo series and primarily highlights and focuses on a game that is largely stagnant in America.

Guys, people not covering the event until now isn’t some sort of weird conspiracy. Nobody stepped up to the plate to do it for some reason. I couldn’t do it until after the fact because I was actually at the tournament. It has nothing to do with one tourney getting privilege over the other. I don’t know why some of the other writers didn’t step up, but that’s at least my reasoning regarding the situation.

I wasn’t side stepping anything. I took what you said and made a reply about it. You said

“SRK is catering more and more to the non-tournament player, and the
non-tournament player doesn’t really have as much of an interest in
something like the Cooperation Cup vs. a tournament that was an Evo
qualifier.”

Basically my reply in short was to ask you how the hell do you know because you just sound like someone who, like most people with the seniority complex, has an issue when things go through change.

 I have not been here longer then you but it doesn’t take a genius to see where SRK is trying to go and all I was saying is if its going in that direction then do it the right way. Don’t say you are doing one thing and “prioritize and look out for your own interests”.

There is nothing wrong with having extra news content that is related to the games, combo videos definitely pushes interest as well as inspires, and I’d rather come here for news about FG’s because I don’t play favorites to just one game(although I’m a big KOF supporter). 

If you don’t like the change say you don’t like the change but don’t make foolish assumptions because its not what it used to be 5yrs ago. FGs are competitive by nature. Its now taking on the form of a spectator nature also so yes they may be catering to the non-tournament players but I’m sure a few of the tournament players still find the extra content worth taking a sec to look at IMO.
