I'm not settling for second this time. Mwah hahahahaha!!!

Jk, MN players go all in. Most people showing up at these are really into their MK and show it their gameplay. Placing at all is an honor :)
 
hehe.. I could literally lose to 8 different people at any given time. Me vs Robby is always close. Me vs you is always close. Bleys' Kabal was really close, Me and Xue have had some crazy sets, Rick took me down pretty hard a few times as soon as he realized I was going to wakeup telekick his projectiles, I don't think I can beat Brent's smoke anymore. Ryan's Cyrax is beast mode, Joe can beat me sometimes, and now there's two more TYM guys coming.

I consider it an accomplishment if I don't go 0-2. lol.

It makes me more happy to be a part of it. I'd rather play in a tight nit group where everyone is trying to level up, and everyone is good, than a mob of 30 scrubs with a couple good people. The game is almost 2 years old, it makes sense that anyone playing it in locals or tournaments is passionate.

Oh, and my friend Ron who came out to the last one and entered last minute even though he's never played before, he's coming over for training tonight and possibly this weekend. He wants to keep entering but doesn't want to be free anymore... he's got a long way to go though :/ We'll see how good of a teacher I am.
 
That's awesome. I'm glad he thought it was fun enoguh to keep playing. In like 10 minutes before the tournament he learned enough to take a round off robby's cyrax. After a week hhe'll be bodying all of us.

Whats up guys. I'll be back in Minn in March coming from the weak ass NC scene. I was worried no one in Minnesota played MK cause you guys don't seem to stream on TYM. I've got some equipment that can help with that. You guys should have +1 MK player in a few months.

You guys better be READY for ryan's cyrax, let's just say he's been working on some insane new tech. For myself, ill be ready, this is gonna be a great tourney.
 
By insane "tech" do you mean it's even dumber than "lol I hit you once gg"?

I'm ready for Cyrax. If he can't attempt a cross over jump punch without eating 40% or command grab loop without eating the same, cyrax is shut down. There's a reason why it's 6-4 Sonya.

We have a stream that gets run monthly, but MK doesn't always get stream love since Marvel and AE are bigger turnouts. This month is goingto be a little different though. There will be a stream from this one, at least some matches.

Do you record matches and put them on YouTube?
 
Ah, I've played that LK before I think.

Anyone that has a trmk or MKU account should copy and paste this message over there too. Not everyone uses all sites. I'd do it, but every time I try to make accounts there it F's up and breaks. We're probably going to have more entrants than Marvel. Let's take down AE!

I'm trolling with the Sheevs. She won't see tourny time unless I'm over confident in who I'm up against. I'm all Skarlet all the way, and I just bought my evo monitor so I won't be dropping stuff like I was before :p
