In general, Touhou has a relatively limited competitive scene, though, apart from the fighting games (7.5/IaMP;10.5/SWR and its update 12.3/Hitensoku;13.5/HM) Well, it is a niche game outside Japan.
Also, +1 for Mario Kart. If you've seen the world record attempt for the GBA Rainbow Road, or respect the fact that there's a Guiness World Record for having the fastest five-lap time trial time for Mario Circuit (can't remember which) on the SNES, it's got to have a competitive scene! And, you seem to be ignoring the tournaments where you can win real-life stuff (Nintendo Life tournaments come to mind)

Ultimate Marvel vs. CAPCOM 3

Call of Duty is growing pretty nice. Ghosts even went to this year's Summer XGames and is rumored to go to the Winter XGames again, and for the past 2 titles we've had a world championship with teams from around the globe.

Well, there is a strong competitive scene on shmups, and the most popular games may be these two. I just tought it deserves a mention.
I don't think mario kart, of all racing games, is the one that should receive attention. Competitive scene is popular because the game is popular on a non competitive level, while some racing simulation have a bigger recognition when it comes to competitive play.
How can you guys forget about Counter-Strike?! I saw one mention of it so far, but it pretty much started the mass esport craze and had some of the biggest tournaments(professional and amateur). So much so that both COD and Halo heavily ripped off of it with later multiplayer modes

Well, it is popular because of the reason you mentioned, but I find it impressive that it actually gets some recognition despite the fact that it isn't close to realistic at all.
It's far closer to SSB than a regular racing sim. Perhaps that's the reason.
Or, I think that way because I actually was in the scene at one point. Oh, Double Dash.
