If Im not mistaken 25. Which is, from what I was told, a good turnout for the PC side.

How many of that 25 were console players? Of course you’re going to pull in every PS3 player if you play a fighter game on another system. The point he was trying to make, and that I’ve made several times, is that you aren’t growing the PC side. You have a “strong” tournament, big deal, those aren’t PC players. If you replaced the entire PC lineup with console fighters you’d have the strongest PC turnout in years but that doesn’t mean it was a successful PC LAN. All it means is that you know how to artificially inflate turnout on a console of your choosing.
You do know that we actually had a fair amount of PC gamers playing this game too right? And a good portion of those people actually wanted to use the keyboard to play (and I watched one of them while he was practicing and he was actually doing pretty good against the CPU). Im actually trying to work on making this happen (use the keyboard for the game in a 2 player vs match, which Im sure will not be a problem). Honestly we had a decent turnout for this game from both the PC, PS3, 360, and Wii owners of the club. Diss the game if you want, but its a good game and has some potential, which has been proven. I mean come on, would you complain if I tried to hook up a PS3 controller while playing TF2 during the LAN?
