Kombat Tomb Podcast - Ep. 41 with King Hippo

Rude

You will serve me in The Netherrealm
20+ posts and none of you fools are talking about the elephant in the room.



The top 10 qualifications are at an all time low in this community. If Deathstroke is top 10, so are Ares and Scorpion in my opinion.
You go from saying Deathstroke is solidly mid-tier, to comparing him to low-tier Scorpion and Ares.

Stay consistent.

So you think Deathstroke is a bottom tier character? He is in the same tier as cyborg, ares, scorpion?

Jeff Hardy was not a bill, He just ruined himself. Matt Hardy was a bill though.
jeff was pretty awful in the ring imo and the best matches matt had were against Benoit and mysterio in 2003.
I loved the wrestling part of the show,although i haven't watched it regularly since 2010.i could sit talking about wwe/f or wcw circa 1990 to 2010 for hours. great segment imo.
shoutouts to jake roberts heel run in late 1991,that shit was amazing.

But if we are going after "crowd reactions" "crowd pull" like what kinghippo said, Jeff Hardy Could get a good crowd going. He could sell moves well, his crowd interaction was good too. But he ruined himself. I am a big fan of the attitude era tag scene lol.

Scorpion is downplayed. He is not that bad of a character. Only a handful of characters can punish MB teleport on block.

I agree that Ares and Cyborg are inferior to Deathstroke but not by much.

Can you explain why deathstroke just a bit better? I don't understand, what does deathstroke not have? To me he is a complete character.

Honest question to anyone else who watched wrestling: How many of you have Snitsky and Heidenreich connected together in your head? I mean, I don't think I've ever thought of either one of them separately. They both showed up around the same time, both hit their apex, and then both washed out shortly thereafter. With Snitsky on Raw and Heidenreich on Smackdown it was weird how their careers followed eerily similar paths while they both (basically) played the same character

Also I will money match anyone in the community in Mario Baseball on gamecube. I was king at that game

Deathstroke's zoning is mediocre, which is why he loses some matches when he could be going even or winning (i.e., versus Aquaman, Flash, Killer Frost, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, and Zod). Other characters simply have better tools.

Thoughts on Batista?
shite,always hated him.i felt he only got pushed because lesnar left and he had nowhere near the talent.he did get slightly better over time though,I think his best match was with taker at wm23,that was a surprisingly great match imo.

You literally always fail to bring up any flaw in Deathstroke's game other than "mediocre zoning." In other words, "he doesn't play the way I want him to play." Well, that's fine, and I honestly understand your frustration since you initially picked him up and were excited to use him, but that doesn't mean he's not a significantly better character than Scorpion. Other characters have better tools? OK, Scorpion isn't one of them. Please explain how Scorpion is just a "little bit" better. What does he have? Better jumping attacks? Better 50/50? Safer options? Better zoning? Better D2? Better wake-ups? Hell, even counter-zoning is close. I know you seem to be going through another strong trolling phase but come on man...

I can only speak from my experience with Zod. In my opinion, Zod vs. Scorpion is 5:5 while Zod beats Deathstroke 6:4. Zod cannot punish Scorpion's MB teleport, which is great at punishing trait activation anywhere on the screen and avoiding interactable objects.

You seem to be going through another foolish phase. Deathstroke obviously loses to a character like The Flash. Deathstroke's zoning is not good enough to keep The Flash in check. If it were, the match would be even. I am not sure why that is so difficult to understand.
