Injustice + EVO + Community: My Thoughts (Very Long + Covers a lot)

[BiPolarExxpress]

Great read, kinda got my ego shot down by your post about honeybee, i couldn't attend the few biggest tournaments of the year and someone takes my spot as best flash (hands down) and privately said no one even compares. too bad that no matter what i do since its after evo and on the east coast it won't matter how good i do at SJ and TFC/NEC some people will just discredit it.

Why does it matter if random people discredit it? You work hard and make top 8 I don't see why you wouldn't be proud of it. The point he made about people like @MITDJT , @SonicFox5000 etc not reading here and caring what people say is pretty accurate, they perform instead of caring who's best with said character.

Great post.

Really glad you took the time to write this. I honestly don't even have the words to express how happy I was for you at evo. Also, great points about the other top 8 placers, and, well, just about everything. This obviously took you a long time to write and a lot of thought went in to it. So, thanks for what you do, thanks for taking the time, and also thanks for the shoutout. My agent fee is 15 percent (non-negotiable) so I demand custody of your medal for 15 percent of the calendar year.

But seriously thanks, any little bit I helped you was more than worth it seeing how happy you were on stage.

As said above it's fair to say Wc instead of WNF
I changed it

I don't understand the point of making it more vague. Not pointing someone out allows them to hide and not have to konfront anything, and kalling out a group makes the rest of the group look bad while still allowing that person to remain hidden.

Yes literally this.

That's how it always is...

I kouldn't prove myself with my character for many tournaments because I kouldn't attend. So I just had to deal with it.

@AK Pig Of The Hut edit it to say except his awesome team Frequency lol I'm theo #1 fan and supporter. I have faith in that guy which is why always said he's worth every penny.

Oh I agree and everyone knows frq supports their own

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

No, nice try

But basically referring to the entire area

What do you mean no? WNF is in WC...

thats a good point, and i did that to get my 3rd place at WB, but i'm human, and ever since i start competitive gaming back in 09' for halo i wanted nothing more than to be recognized as the best at something. and after WB i was (i guess lol). then honeybee shows up and takes my spotlight by attending more tournaments and doing really well. i only attended 3 tournaments this year due to real life, and i'm not going to sit here and lie and say that it doesn't bother me that people think someone else is the best when i still feel like i am. the only difference is that i voice my opinion while others choose to suck it up and keep it to themselves.

This post and some of the replies reminded me of this song.

"I know so many people who think they can do it alone
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones

Now what can you tell them
And what can you say that won't make them defensive

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

They come on like their peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through the day
And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I say it
And how can I come on
When I know I'm guilty

Hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight

Now how can I say it
And how can I come on
When I know I'm guilty

So hang on to your ego
Hang on, but I know that you're gonna lose the fight"

Shots fired at KDZ - not a surprise... and also WEST COAST on blast for being jealous. Hmmmm, didn't expect this at all in Pig's write up.

All in all, a lot of bitterness towards many people

 

[AK Black Preon]

Applause. Its nice to see a community enjoying itself rather than cannibalizing it.

 

[OG Mannimal]

Pig is just mad that Triforce won't share his ravioli with him lol

look @AK Pig Of The Hut this is exactly the problem

you're convincing people that we all hate theo, that we're a shitty scene who doesn't back our players, that we're backstabbers

do you realize what you are doing?

 

[Filipino Man]

I give Theo nothing but support, but I know what you're talking about, @AK Pig Of The Hut and it's honestly unfortunate. It comes with a young community.

No one honestly gives Theo enough credit, when he's really the only Aquaman doing anything worth noting. I beat 3 Aquamen at EVO thanks to him.

Great writeup Pig,
No matter how much bullshit goes on inbetween tournaments, once everyone meets up and plays each other at events, things seem to pick up immensely. Everyones hype and works together to enjoy the games

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Good post, Pig. But to be fair a lot of us are playing Ultra over Injustice for a whole gamut of reasons. Sure, I'm definitely playing SF to help improve my footsies for MKX (which will be my main game when it drops, no excuses, no bullshit. I'm coming for fucking scalps.) but some, including me, have simply fallen out of love with Injustice. There's a lot of gimmicky shit to this game and in many ways I feel like I've reached a personal plateau in IGAU so I'm stepping over to Capcom and Anime, not just to become better in those games, but to become a more well rounded FG player coming into MKX. Also, straight up, I'm having more fun playing Sakura that I ever did playing Supes or WoWo.

I'm about to pick up LOBO to see if I can't get back into this game, but I personally feel like I'm not learning to much from it anymore. That's when it comes down to a personal level. Not everyone can pick things up from the same games in the same ways. Some need different approaches and perspectives on how FG's operate to improve. IGAU wasn't helping me improve my execution or my spacing, so I started playing Ultra and BlazBlue. And you know what? I'm nailing these 1f links. I'm remembering bigger and more complicated combos. My pokes are crispy and my whiff punishes are fucking mean.



You're absolutely right. But a lot of us, myself included, feel that we're not improving as FG players by playing Injustice, so we're exploring other games. I don't hate on anyone for doing what they need to do to improve, whether it's IGAU, Ultra, or fucking Divekick. To each, his own.

That seem like solid reasons but I'm mainly talking about when people say dropping what I'm good at to pick up something I've never played to get better

On the surface it seems like a good idea but IMO it's not

But if it's what U enjoy then that's always best

 

[SonicFox5000]

Yo that post making me feeeeeeel some type of way~
Lol pig you know I always had your back. Even when you used to txt me saying "IM SO ASS ST INJUSTICE UGH AT INJ OH IM WUITTING" etc i always told you its nonsense. I always said that your time will come, and that id see you in grand finals at evo. Look how far we have come! This only fuels me to support the game even after mkx! Thanks for the shoutout man!
now lets talk about how a pig and a fox were in grand finals

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

This exactly. I'm actually not that hyped for MKX

^This. I couldn't have said it better myself and there are plenty out there who feel the same way

 

[MidTierHarley]

Im pretty sure KDZ didn't go for personal reasons so i wouldnt really call him out for not going...unless he didnt go because there wasnt a pot bonus (I wish harold still played )

Best advice @P2W ever said

One thing I envy about Fox is his attitude after a tournament. I could never do it, I am emo for life, but his personality is the same no matter how well he did. He failed to place at MLG and was just as jolly and hyper and fun loving as he was after winning the world championship. If you see me or Pig in a hotel on a Sunday night you can tell how we placed. You can't do that with Fox. It's crazy lol.

 

[eolson3]

This exactly. I'm actually not that hyped for MKX because of this community. I'm hoping my local scene is big enough to where I can ignore most of this site.

Couldn't you just ignore it? Would Peyton Manning sit at home on Sunday, because some Monday morning quarterbacks said mean things?

I agree that members of the community can be turds, but I don't think that is a good reason to step away. If no one acknowledges those cockknuckles, they will drift to some other forum.

It's probably because we were in a pretty similar situation.

Yeah we wanted to make our character work and we put in the time, but playing a secondary suddenly makes everyone who liked you and always defended you talk an incredible amount of shit and no longer support you. Nothing changed, we just decided to play some MUs that were a little bit easier to deal with. The more you win the more they get to watch you play, just be happy for us
