Silly me for expecting something that would provide more access and hype for a non Asian audience. Namco continue dropping the ball with marketing for this game. I am sure that this tournament will be good to watch and I have no doubt that T7 will be a fundamentally solid game. However, it is kind of hard to stay excited being an onlooker for the current state the game is in- getting kind of tired of seeing the same stages (is this the smallest selection of stages since like T4?) and still no sign of Nina, Kuma, or Lei (they are legacy characters after all). Before anyone says the year gap between Arcade to console release is always how the game works- I am fully aware of that. I remember the wait for T6 console being huge but that wasn't so bad since the closest arcade to me (which has since closed down) had the game since 6.0. I guess I am just getting too old and impatient to deal with that model now.



Oh well.
