    Favourite Hip Hop Albums of all Time/Must listen

    Just curious as to how big the TYM hip-hop 'community' is. If you guys could come up with a top 10 or maybe just even recommend your favourite albums of all time and must have albums etc. I'd like to get a discussion going and maybe I'll learn about new artists/albums I never knew of. Anyway it...

    General/Other - Sektor Reign In Ketchup - Sektor PRE-RELEASE Thread

    So based off MK9 story mode, we know that Sektor is still alive (not that it matters much anyway). In any case, I would love to see him in the new game. If he were to keep more or less the same move set as MK9, then I would wish for the following: armour on EX flame burner EX teleport neutral...

    Tech Lex Luthor Tech/Gimmicks

    Ok first of all I want to say that if any of this stuff is known I apologise in advance but this is what I've come up with after some messing around in the lab. #1 CORNER CROSS-UP MIX-UP Ok with this one, you do a simple corner combo e.g. b+1, 3-MB vacuum-f+3-j+3-1, 1-u+3-trait charge dash...

    Question Trait and Axe of Terror mix-ups?

    I've been wondering if you can get an almost impossible to block/very hard to block situation with trait and axe of terror. I've been trying something where I release trait as I am above the opponent and trait hits him from the original side. Providing I time it correctly, I believe I am...

    Strategy Doomsday's jump d+3 ambiguous cross-up set-up

    Well it's a fairly simple concept but I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here or discovered so I thought I'll just put my findings down in any case. Basically you do a combo: starter--MB Earth Shake--d+2--b+3--j+2--d+3. By ending in a sweep, you're opponent is in an untechable knockdown state...

    MK9 Potential Patch Character Balancing and Discussion

    Let's try and make this the official buff/nerf requests we have for each character in MK9. Please don't troll and say stupid things like Reptile's elbow dash should be + on block or something because if we take this seriously, it will reflect well on our intentions for another patch for this...

    Strategy Ending Combos in 2, 2, d+1

    We all know the huge variety of ways at Lex's disposal of ending combos. I've been experimenting with combos that leave the opponent in range to defend against cross-up jumping attacks and I've found that ending with 2, 2, d+1 gives you that situation. Basically, a typical combo is b+1, 3--MB...

    Strategy Sinestro Corner Vortex

    First off I want to give a massive shout-out to the whole Sinestro forum. This character forum has everything you need, and everyone's working hard to come up with tech. I'm really enjoying this character atm so thanks to JHCrane, P2W, Pig, Vulcan Hades, legion etc etc. (sorry if I missed anyone...

    Strategy Lex Luthor Corner Lex Probe Mix-Ups

    After extensive studying of the orbital strike MB resets and his general corner game, I started experimenting with the lex probe set-ups (the orb). First of all, it's useful to note that by doing the same 1, 1--1, 1--u+3 set-up as you would for orbital strike, if you end it with lex probe...

    Strategy Testing Luthor's MB Orbital Strike Reset vs Character Wake-Ups

    As highlighted in this characters' combo section, when you end corner combos with u+3--MB orbital strike, it will reset the opponent and you can loop this situation as long as you have meter. Now the only way this is escapable is via. wake-up attack. So what I'll do is I'll test the validity of...

    Question Sektor's viability and general outlook

    This is stemming from Pig of the Hut's thread on character viability in a tournament setting on their own. Now this is personally how I see it, if you don't have many 3-7's (maybe two at most), you should be viable. The problem is obviously not enough people are available to represent each...

    Tech Maximising the potential of iaTU

    Ok so not too long ago I was under the illusion that iaTU had 8 start-up frames (thanks to the whole "8 frames papi!" joke). Anyways iaTU has a 16 frame start-up, which I still think is quick enough to be used in situations which you might not think are possible. We all know that the main...

    Thank You

    Well I just discovered I was made the new Sektor forum moderator. I realise a lot of you guys supported me along the way and I can only thank you for that support. I don't really wish to impose my will or anything like that and that's mostly because I feel we are sensible and everyone gets on...

    Strategy Making use of iaSB

    I'm not a regular poster here so I won't give this a prefix. I'll leave it up to a mod to decide. Anyways after watching 16 Bit play recently and just seeing some of Starcharger's play, I've noticed that these two, and perhaps others (apologies if I didn't mention you) make great use of iaSB...

    Question iaTU: More than just an anti-zoning tool?

    I've been thinking about this a lot recently. This move is 8 frames. It leads to full combos on hit, it has to serve a greater purpose than just countering zoning. I think it could work really well as a whiff punisher as well. Also you could always make it safe if you are worried about getting...

    What fighting games are you currently playing?

    Just wanna see what fighting games other than MK9 you guys are playing at the moment and whether you are looking to play on a competitive level in these games or just for fun. I am currently juggling with three fighting games: MK9, UMvC3 and TTT2. In MK9 I main Sub Zero and my back-ups are...

    Match-up Discussion Sektor's MU Analysis (In-Depth)

    Ok guys so this is fairly self-explanatory. I really want people to feel comfortable in using Sektor in as many MU's as possible, including those that are fairly disadvantaged. Even though I am not a true Sektor main, I have used him extensively in all but one MU, that one being Skarlet. With...

    Tech Can someone try this out?

    Hey guys. Unfortunately my console is not with me for just under a month but I was wondering if anyone could test this in the lab with Sektor. I want you guys to do a combo that involves EX teleport then follow up with a NJP so he splats but also link TU after NJP. I want to know if Sektor...

    Match-up Discussion NKZero's Sektor MU Chart (NEW!)

    Well I've decided to renew the discussion really and maybe make a few amendments to the old chart. But instead of updating that one I thought we'd start afresh. You know the drill, discuss the MU's and if you have any objections to any no's just state what you think they should be and why. It...

    Mid-screen up missile set-ups

    Ok guys so I had this thread done beforehand but it got lost when we had that data conundrum. Anyways I won't quite lay it out like I did last time but here it is in any case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1)...
