With the recent upswing of activity with SNKPlaymore with its promotion of KOFXIII to some of the latest events (With help from the guys at SNK-Capcom, Iplaywinner, the tourney promoters, and of course the DC Arcade Infinity Crew), I feel like this is a good start. I think what SNK could stand to use is a some sort of community manager. I guess its been on my mind since at major tourneys you have sort of the figurehead for the company that is sort of the company ambassador in these tournaments like Seth Killian for Capcom, Markman for Madcats, and just recently FilthieRich for Namco. Technically, the guys over as SNK-Capcom Giby and Trieu already have some sort of connection with SNKP USA but I think a good step in the right direction is for someone to be officially titled SNKP's community manager.
This isn't really a plea for someone to step up, and I'm not exactly sure as to what channels to go through in order to get the ball rolling, but its just some food for thought that's been roasting in my mind as I watch these tournaments while I'm in school working on my resume and portfolio to get back into the workplace. I'd like to hear some "CONSTRUCTIVE" thoughts, ideas on the matter.
(If you feel this should warrant its own discussion thread, then that can be moved without me knowing. Just want to get some thoughts from people)
