I wondered about that too, like why cant they just have two monitors?  Is it that difficult or budget wise? Or they want to give the appeal of how its like at home or at the arcade, but then again at home people can play online and arcades can have front to front monitors like they do in a lot of Japanese arcades.

That Tekken system sounds really brilliant and should be implemented in all fighting games.

I suppose some tourneys like CEO and EVO could do it, but at the moment I think this system requires two different consoles as well. So doing this would mean higher costs, as they'd need twice as many monitors and consoles, and more space (so they may need a larger venue in a worst case scenario) and then there's the heat that comes from these consoles/monitors, which you may want to reduce at conventions packed with a lot of people. (There was still no free water at this EVO btw, which people complained about.) So I guess they'll have to weigh that against how often people would want to switch sides, or how much of an inconvenience it is to do it the normal way.

Btw at least people are having some fun with this.

lollll thats funny.  Ya I guess it would be costly and that's not cool that they don't offer free water at an event this big.  Maybe provide two monitors and system only at the grand final?
