Are these games big enough to have a need for an actual team? They're some of the only fighting games I ever played but definitely really cool games although not advertised very well in the states... seems like no one knows what they are =(

The fighting communities are large enough, but there aren't alot of tournaments in the US for this scene, so it can only grow so big. A Complexity team for BB and GG would be an awesome idea, but it doesn't seem like it would pay off for complexity too fast, since there just isn't a large scene for it.
If MLG picked up fighters for their own, or the current tournaments grew to be more cross country (the ones i've seen are just west coast only tournaments), then it would be a good idea to invest in a team.
BB is a great game, and with the hopeful arrival of the 3rd installment this year, I could see the scene getting bigger. Evo is the biggest fighting game event in the US, if they would do like MLG, multiple regional events through out the year and then a Grand Finals, I could see a team, but not the way it is now.
Ok I must correct myself, there is smaller regional events for EVO, just none under the EVO name... Here is this years tournaments:
Here are the events for 2012. A big thanks to all the organizers of these events for participating in the Road to Evo this year.

Found this at http://shoryuken.com/2012/01/03/intr...nament-season/ but alas no GG or BB events.
could I move to Japan and play guilty gear/blazblue there? do these games have a scene anywhere?
Yes, Japan has a pretty large scene for its fighter games, but it is done in the same format as the scene in NA. So there is no circuit and the tournaments vary in prize and size.Quote:
