This question actually goes out to Dark Geese, in regards to his podcast but more so seeking advice. So, I want to travel more and am starting to strive to do this. Money is a bit of an issue, but I think I could swing traveling to 1 or 2 tournaments a year. Here's the problem: in the US, I don't see any real SNK stuff being played. The closest is CEO 2011 which is running CvS2 which is still a Capcom title. I'm gonna compete irregardless, but its hard to try and build up hype and get more people interested in being serious when no one will include SNK titles in their lineup of games! Now I actually live in North-Central Florida, which is very dead for fighting games in general. I have tried very hard to build up a scene here for just ANY fighting game, but its been rough and the Halo heads are rather hard to convince. My question is this: Given my situation, if there was a Raging Storm happening in the US I would opt to go there instead of things like CEO or Final Round, or any other major event. But because there isn't and there is no way for me to hold SNK game tournaments or attend any, what should I do? Honestly, I think others are also in my exact same position. So what should we do? What CAN we do? I'm honestly asking for your advice here, because I can't think of a single thing I could possibly do other than online stuff. I can't even TRAVEL to a tournament that has SNK games in the lineup unless I go to Mexico! Which is gonna cost me more than to travel in the US (At least I assume), and language barriers begin to become an issue. Its so hard for me to become better and compete and travel when the only choices before me are travel internationally. Now I could feasibly swing an international trip maybe once a year but I have a crowd I bring with me to tournaments who are serious. They wouldn't be able to come with me, so in the end its not helping the SNK community here in the US. So again...what should I do?
