Rev is right, I got hype for MK9 and there is little to no one in the Tulsa area. I remember going to the first tourney announced on here for MK9, I do believe it was GxC around 31st and Sheridan and guess who all showed up? Rev, Bi, and me, now I know to the outside eye like it's not bad but to look at the thread posted on here you'd think there would have been a decent group. The sad thing about the local community is that Rev hosted these MK nights and little to no one showed up, I mean my god I went when I could and there was 1 time in which I played against someone consistently that wasn't Rev. I mean really this MK night was advertised on here and TYM (the primary MK forum) and got no one from the local area.
Now to the core issue, I think there are people that play MK consistently within the Tulsa area but the thing about that is they play it only online. Heck, I know 3 people within the Tulsa/Broken Arrow area that won't even touch the game offline but are the biggest competitors whenever it comes down to online. The sad thing one of my good buds from high school loves MK but shares the same mentality of the others saying, why get off my rear and play the game the way it's meant to be played whenever I can just boot up my system and play some random in a lagfest? In reality I can see where these guys are coming from but to not even try leaves me pessimistic.
Anyways, enough with the gloom and doom of the Tulsa area. Looks like day already past and I was unable to attend the TnT. Was there a good turnout for MK9? I saw earlier in the thread that the Norman guys were going to make an appearance.
