This is the first time I've heard this.. So WB is preventing NRS from making further changes to the game?
Of course. They're the publishers. It's all $$$$$. What do they make money off of? Addressing issues with the game for the competitive players or porting it to Vita and adding costumes for the players who just want to watch the fatalities and the abominable online?

It's aight man, anyone serious about the game is appreciative of what you do. But to say it formally, thank you. It has helped me. The mods, the top players, and the dedicated forums goers saw your stuff. That right there is above and beyond anything most people have ever contributed, and that alone would make me happy at least :)
You're right, I'm acting like quite a prima donna in this thread. I should grateful that people like you enjoy my info and that most of my threads are stickied. Fuck front page I don't need it!
 
Thank you.
It's not just TYM that needs to have a whole change of philosophy, but the offline tournament scene as well. Tom Brady you're a huge problem in this area. Outside of the MLG arena, your stream commentary has not been feeding off the stream chat, but instead taking away from any match at hand and instigating any and all "troll" problems in the community. In fact, it's just strait insulting to the two players who are on stream to have the commentator be ranting to a select few in stream chat. A long time ago I was rewatching a match of mine in which you were on the mic, I can't even say commentating; you never once said anything about the whole match. It was insulting. At UFGT you were borderline insulting some of the players on stream; calling their gameplay bad and other stuck up remarks to even top level players like Pig. If you want the forum community to change (which I agree, it should) - then you need to change your attitude as well.

This isn't me trolling Brady - this is not me being an asshole - this is me being honest.

SwiftTomHanks I didnt insult anyone at UFGT. I called the action, I dont know where you get this "boderline insulting" thing from because at no time did I actually insult anyone playing NOR did I even mention the stream chat and I damn sure didnt say any "stuck up remarks" to pig.

It literally seems like the absolute best answer is for me to refrain from coming to TYM, stay out of all streams/stream chats, and stop commentating on tourney streams as well as staying off of side streams and podcasts.

I hate to say it, but its the truth.. perhaps guys like STH and many others are right. Fact is, this community was actually for the better during the 2 1/2 months i disappeared. I think this is for the best. LOL.. i am not even seen as a top level player any more and my being active seems to be the very problem in the MKC.

A prop on the stage of life.
Tom Brady was extremely classy after both of his losses at UFGT just last weekend. Essentially saying he's a crybaby when he loses is horse shit. He was very entertaining, kind, and was 100% class when it was called for. As far as I'm concerned if don't go to an event, if you aren't there in person, you have no right to talk about any member's behavior. Case in point: Pig getting blown up for "yelling at dizzy". The fuck out of here. All of you. When you're ready to start hugging and making up come on back. Otherwise, the fuck up.

Man, I wish this place was run like TeamLiquid sometimes (read: All the god damn time. For real.)
I agree with everything but the TL sentence. Mod bias drove me away. Yea there was nothing wrong with what went down at UFGT. Tom didn't say or do anything that would make me believe what sorts of things are said about him here. At the same time, it really only takes one person to completely derail a thread. That can happen anywhere really. On TL they just perma ban you for no reason and I take issue with that. I like being able to actually talk about the game I'm playing. Difference of opinion there, but again, I agree with the post.

If anyone is willing to have a serious discussion about this, I'm going to hop in TYM chat.

Anyone that's interested in having an adult dialouge about some of these issues (read: no trolling and no crying) feel free to join.

Every character, sir. But that's besides the point what about those with skill like mine, what are they supposed to do?
Learn, level up. Maybe give their input and try to contribute. If they are wrong, a top player will tell them they are wrong and explain to them why. That person will then level up, and one day they will get to the point where they can find tech and post info of their own.

As long as you are not trolling, crying, or flamebaiting then you are not part of the problem.

This^^ if everybody contributes and actually discusses stuff you will learn faster, I havent learned all the shit I know about this game by myself, and there is always something to learn from another player even if they aren't as good as you or if they're ahead of you.

Don't you fucking do it! We need you, and we know you don't need us. But please, don't take anymore leaves from TYM.

It's the internet, it's full of douche bags and misinformed assholes. For everyone of YOU we have 5 tomlulsbradies. But for everyone of you, we also have 5k+ fans.

You may not love us, but 99% of us love you. That one percent can go die in a hole. Even Pig Of The Hut, who has a rivalry with you, openly admits at the end of the day he loves and respects you. Please stay and just smile at the dumbasses trolling you. Your post was the final straw to start an almost complete anti-trolling movement, which even I am partaking in.

You don't usually respond to my posts, and that's fine, but I hope you read this so you can understand just how many people do value you.

You're part of what makes the community fun and exciting, I love seeing you put in amazing work with Sub-Zero at majors and you always come up with really fun things to say on streams and on KTP, it would be a shame if you didn't post anymore.

It's also nice to hear your breakdowns of the game, I've learned quite a bit about the game from you and I appreciate and respect that, most people do.
 
Man Tom I totally agree. I log in and front page I see 3 Kabal nerf threads, 2 reo troll threads, a couple passive aggressive threads calling top players out, 145 tier list bitch fests...sigh. bro, I just want a sweet new reptile set up. Everyone needs to chill the Fuck out.

Moderators need to stop fanning the flames by front paging bull shit too.

SwiftTomHanks you are 100% correct about Trolling being the option select of running your mouth.

Front page =/= recent threads. Right now I don't see any of these thing you said in the front page.

You are not seen as a top level player by some. Some of us (self included) still think you're great. Everything you're at is more hype than events you're not at. Your commentary is hands down the best. If you and BeerGuyEd called a tournament that would be flat out awesome. As far as the trolling goes I think it's the same with or without you it's just a matter of who or what gets trolled. You react, and trolls LOVE attention. Fact is with you around we at least get some threads like this where without you around it seems we're mostly watching 500 "dis gon be good" meme threads.
 
Tom is right guys. Just play the damn game. I don't think I have ever seen this kind of behavior in any other game let alone fighting ones. I don't know what it is about MK but it seems to bring out the worst in people. I blame online lag.

being upset that you lost is 1 thing. making 9999999 posts/threads bashing someone who beat you or who won a tournament because of "x" character is a different story.
Those people are waiting for nerfs that will probably never happen. Instead of focusing on how to get better, they are stuck thinking too hard about their losses when they can be investing that same time trying to get better.
 
I don't think it's inherently wrong to complaint against a character if it's OP. If you love this game, you want it to be as balanced as possible. If everyone is dropping their mains for Kabal, if all the latest tourneys are won by Kabal, then he's OP and he should be fixed, there's nothing more boring in a fighting game than watching the same characters over and over ala sf4 Sagat, sfIII3s chun, ken etc., and even worse Kabal is ugly as f*ck. If it annoys you, so be it.
 
Tom Brady
I sortof think of the MK community like mexican lucha libre (masked wrestling). All wrestlers have a story, some are heroes (like Slips was last weekend), some are villains (like everyone makes reo out to be), some are ambiguous (you maybe, you're a hero to some, some think you're an asshole, i dont personally know you so i cant say, but you're good at the game). In the end, it's about skills and the work you put in though.

Nothing personal mate!
Totally agree with you Tom!
But the internet is like a big old english Stonebridge, there are always Trolls beneath it! :D
