    The Truth Behind The Truth (Tom Brady's Thoughts on MK11 and Evo 2020)

    I've been a musician for 13 years. Mostly guitar, vocals, some piano, a little bass. I'd like to think I know a little about putting time into playing in an instrument. I'd love to hear what "facts" you're referring to, since you're clearly convinced that you have an entirely factual basis for...

    The Truth Behind The Truth (Tom Brady's Thoughts on MK11 and Evo 2020)

    Well, the thing is, there's never a need to grow or change or better yourself as a person, as long as you can find a good excuse not to do it. It's all about efficiency, man.

    The Truth About MK11 Tournament Numbers So Far

    The fact that something of this much quality and integrity is an m2dave post is the most surreal experience of 2020 so far, for me. I wouldn't be surprised if it holds that spot for the rest of the year.

    The Truth Behind The Truth (Tom Brady's Thoughts on MK11 and Evo 2020)

    Yeah, if only it were MK9, right? That game definitely had nowhere near as much bullshit as MK11, right?

    The Truth Behind The Truth (Tom Brady's Thoughts on MK11 and Evo 2020)

    Please wait at least 24 hours before deleting this next one. I didn't even get a chance to hear the video that was linked in the first post. I can only imagine the laughs I was deprived of. Are you playing it with Mr. Wizard, who's telling you all the reasons he's never liked NRS games...

    The Truth About MK11 Tournament Numbers So Far

    Jesus christ. Thank you. People not liking MK11 is one thing; they're entitled to their opinions. When they follow that up with their "MK11 IS ALREADY DEAD, YOU GUYS JUST HAVEN'T CAUGHT UP YET" rhetoric, that's where it gets ridiculous. If you don't like the game, fine. If you want to vent about...

    Tom's Incident Has Made it to Esports Mainstream News

    "Stop vilifying Tom for scamming people out of their money! All he did was ask for donations from his fans so he could afford to travel to a tournament, then pocketed the money and didn't actually go, which he's done multiple times now! He didn't do any more wrong than streamers that accept...

    Sometimes, the moment you read someone's theoryfighting, you can just tell that their perceived "weaknesses" of their character are just weaknesses in their play.

    Would you be okay with MK12 being a legacy title from MK11?

    Also, this. This isn't said nearly often enough. The odds of a character having at least one good variation out of three are a hell of a lot better than the the odds of having at least one good variation out of... One. Ideally, every variation would be good. Ideally, every character would be...

    Would you be okay with MK12 being a legacy title from MK11?

    I don't think anyone is saying that they necessarily have to build upon MK9's engine. I think the idea is just that they could make a new game that plays like MK9 did, with a lot of repurposed normals/specials, and so on. They've already done that before as it is, i.e. Rain and Baraka in MKX...

    Skarlet complete Guide (Updated with Aftermath+Ultimate reviews)

    I was going by what you just said to me in this thread, man. You said it's better to just use 1 2 and F4 instead of taking a risk on gaps for either one. I explained how that doesn't seem like a sound strategy to me.

    Skarlet complete Guide (Updated with Aftermath+Ultimate reviews)

    That's what I was saying, though. You use F2 tentacle just enough that they're afraid to press buttons after F2 on block, because if they know you're doing F2 blood ball every time, they can get a JIK for free. I really don't think it's advisable to just never use those strings lol. 1 2 is...

    Help me pick a new character for next season

    Var 3 Scorpion seems like another suggestion worth considering if you want to take this route. His tele is an even better jump-in mixup, both because a) guessing wrong gives him full combos, and b) even if you block the tele, you still have to guess if he's going to amp it or not. Var 1 has...

    Skarlet complete Guide (Updated with Aftermath+Ultimate reviews)

    Haven't had time to give this more than a quick skim yet, but since I didn't see anything about it, here's something else you might want to add: You can end a lot of strings in tentacle instead of the usual string ender, both because a) it tends to have better frames on block and b) it can mix...

    Help me pick a new character for next season

    Fair enough. Switching mains isn't a bad idea then, if you're enjoying the game more in the long run. All I can suggest as far as characters who have all the basic tools you could ever need would be var 3 Cage. He really has it all.

    Help me pick a new character for next season

    Not caring if you win as long as you're learning is a good mindset to have, imo. There are plenty of great players who got that way because they got their asses beat by great players on a routine basis. It's not glamorous, but it's a hell of a workout. It kind of sounds more like this is just...

    Help me pick a new character for next season

    I don't mean to tell you how to play the game, but uh... Isn't switching mains with every new season of KL going to make it harder to succeed in KL? If you're okay with that, and are more interested in mixing up your character choices than seeing long-term progress, then that's fine. If not...

    Well, I don't. I have a desktop, and just happened to have a turbo function on the stick that I use.

    This happened to me too, btw, and I tried it twice (I mean, I had nothing to lose, I have a surplus of souls). I'm pretty sure it's just standard. Would not recommend lol.

    If you have a turbo controller of any sort, souls are far and away the easiest currency to farm. A lot of people use AI battle to farm resources in this game. From my experience, it's nowhere near as effective as this, especially since it absolutely will loop indefinitely. The basic idea is...
