Only if you enjoy the game, don't force yourself to learn something you don't enjoy.

EVO you will hardly see 3D fighters showed or not at all. Even Tekken was struggling to stay at EVO.

Tekken isn't so big in america, it's huge everywhere else though.

Tekken is pretty popular here from what I can tell. It the only 3D fighter people bring up.

Street Fighter is one of the most popular here in U.S.
One thing to keep in mind if not enough people there supporting the game it hard to get it to show.

Not sure how many DoA usually brings in tournaments but I assume around 30-40

The FGC mainly consists of Capcom fanboys. Also Capcom is a big sponsor for EVO, so its not surprising that SF4, SF x TK, UMVC3 is always at EVO. Still, I'd really like to see DOA make it to EVO one day.

SFxT isnt at EVO... neither is Skullgirls.

SF x T isn't going to be this year? Not surprised considering how dead the game is.

Pick up Injustice!

Or if you want an easier version of DOA, play Killer Instinct..

3D fighters have been at EVO before. So has DOA. They will be there again.

But it's up to us to keep interest going and grow them out.

True, it is up to us fans of 3D fighters to keep them alive and growing. I am getting more and more into other 3D games like SC and Tekken.

I always liked Soul Calibur.. Too bad the kommunity kinda kept to themselves and let their game die.

There's quite a bit of crossover from SC to DOA, actually. We're both smaller communities, but we do support each other fairly well.

Reaper... i tried Injustice. I Hated it. They had something right in MK9 (Anti-Airs) but they completely fucked it up in Injustice.

From my experience there was only one player here in So Cal who actually tried to help out (or even talk to) newer/umfamiliar players here in So Cal. Everyone else just kind of kept to themselves. The DOA kommunity on the other hand wasn't like that.
