Fractured and diverse communities exist in every genre. I suppose calling it the FGC is too broad of a term since there ARE many different types of FGCs. But it's undeniable that SFIV and MvC3 are the biggest and most popular games in the genre, so it will have to be representative of the genre. Are they the BEST FGs? I don't think so, but it doesn't matter what I think, it's what the majority thinks.
As an example, I think the best RTS is Company of Heroes. But obviously, it will never reach the numbers that SC1/2 will reach, so pro leagues picked the most popular and obvious choice, which is fine. It's up to MLG to recognize that there are different groups within the FGC and plan accordingly.
Just take SFIV and SCV to cover both 2d and 3d. Lets see how they do.
