Long time player first time organizer. So it isn't that I don't believe you but I am asking wide anybody and anyone for input. It isn't nervousness but I am preparing for the worst. If I didn't care I wouldn't ask the community at all. But as you all are also players and some of you have run tournaments of your own I want all of your input. I want this first step to be one on hopefully a very long tournament run that everyone can enjoy both new people, as well as old ones like me.
And to be honest wouldn't you be more worried if I only consulted one person and went with a gut reaction to everything. Your opinions matter as well as the other people I have asked. The rules have been weighed against your input as well as others. I have already changed the rules to reflect what people have stated or complained about. The goal of the Q&A is to develop a codified rule set that I can use for years to come. This isn't skepticism, it is just me gathering information to make a good foundation for something that can last. That is why I am taking everything very seriously. Sorry if I came off as something other than sincere but I want this to work and do so well. I am expecting hiccups, but I want this for the SNK scene as well as for myself, I want this to become a new event that the SNK supporters can look forward too. I am thinking long term. I want the US to get a scene again or at least a stronger one. International is well and good but there is a reason when KOF or SNK comes us everyone just says oh only Mexicans play that durhurhur, or what you aren't Asian? I want this to be for the US then grow to incorporate everyone. Anyone can join, but I want the US to have something.
So in the first post when I said this was an Alpha build for something I have wanted to do for awhile I wasn't joking but seeing the Capcoms, Namcos, and Airdashers blow past SNK and SNK being left by the wayside except by a dedicated but scattered base and no company support well, lets just say I want it to succeed.
I don't believe I have been disrespectful in the least but I apologize if in any way shape or form that has been the case. As always thankyou for the input, and thankyou for the time out of your day to address this.
