Getting local players/friends interested in our games?

Recommended Posts

Sorry about posting in this thread if it's not meant for me but I just didn't know where to post this.

 

So basically I'm asking for help in how I can potentially get folks interested in games like GG and its spiritual successors.  These games can be kind of weird and intimidating for people who are more used to traditional 2D like SF and KOF.  Have any of you had luck in growing interest with such games in your local scene?  I've heard that UNI has sort of a secondary following with SF fans because it's more grounded than the average anime game is.  Should I just bring a setup/games and say "hey guys I like this game a lot and I think you should give it a try" or something?

I'm not sure if this will help much since my scene has a pretty strong following for the games but I think the best way to gain interest is to just make the game look fun. When Uniel came out and people saw grim reapers and Waldstein doing air assault pressure, people got really hype. I'd say get someone to play with you and showoff the games for what they are (that can be a double edge sword to people who don't like persona's combo damage lol) and hopefully the you'll get new players.

 

Also, don't constantly tell them stuff about sub-systems, its overwhelming, but if they ask then give an answer. Good luck!
