That's what my cast is for =D. but yeah i think that is definitely one source to try and get new players. we need to talk to people in the other scenes to see if we can garner their interest for this game.
tell them how it's pretty much right in between marvel and street fighter
1 touch death combos
sick combos
meter management
footsies/spacing
not as broken/insane as marvel
not as slow/turtly as street fighter

we definitely need to have an inviting vocabulary when talking about KOF, so we def need to try to get people to stop saying it's hard. it's NOT THAT HARD, it's not impossible to learn. challenging yes, but definitely rewarding.

I do like this idea, but it could go the way of many who say "Yeah i have the game, but it's still unopened" (not necessarily true, but more likely than not). it's a crapshoot imo
we need to point people to their local scenes, we need them to find someone to play with. then they will be motivated to go and get the game themselves. I think this would garner more lasting attention.
if anyone could be generous enough to do this, then it's definitely better than not doing it.
Great stuff with all your efforts for the kof scene, keep it up!
As for me, there was a nice turnout at the last Runback in socal. 22, despite not having most of the regulars there (alot of new faces). one thing i regret is that i didn't really talk to most of these new faces (was concentrating too much on my matches).
but i think whenever we see someone new, make an effort to get to know them so that you can share your knowledge about the game, where people gather to play, etc.
