Guide MK9 Top 10 of all time

[Briggs8417]

Tom will go down as probably the best player to use a mid tier character though.

I'd actually give that one to Showtime during his Reptile days.

Dat downplaying was so awesome

What is Reptile top tier all of the sudden? Is he not high mid? lol.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

High mid like 10-12 range maybe 13

But sub zero is nowhere near that ball park

 

[DJ L Toro]

we'll never be on that big a stage again.
How right or wrong am I? Who did I leave off. Make your case.

You're speaking too soon. Things are in the works. MK9 may yet grow larger than ever.

Also, shouldnt @a foxy grampa be on there? didnt het get like top 2 at every tournament except the one that he was hospitalized in which he got 9th... at evo?
Also Reo should be 1st. He has been the most consistently top player. and in the end he won out over PL knocking him out of evo.
also, you over dizzy? damn, dizzy on blast? When's the last time you beat him in tournament?
Also, i'm not sure about JR, he was only successful in 2012 (same for pig).
Also, what about Chris G?
Also, tom brady was saying on the list of top 10 worst players in mk history he's #1 lol

 

[HGTV Soapboxfan]

I still think reptile is top 10 lol

 

[STRYKIE]

Sub has 3-7's up the ass. Not many "mid tier characters" can say they don't have a matchup worse than 4-6. The only debate there being Sonya.

That's fair, I was just saying Showtime put up crazy results when he played Reptile.

[Chongo]

Reptile is not mid tier, don't know why anyone would think that.

 

[Briggs8417]

Reptile is not mid tier, don't know why anyone would think that.

So then he is top tier with Kabal, KL, Cyrax, Kenshi, Sonya and maybe Skarlet?

 

[Briggs8417]

I still think reptile is top 10 lol

As do I.

1. Reo
2. PL
3. CDJr
4. Pig
5. Djt
6. Detroit
7. 16bit
8. Maxter
9. Dizzy
10. Tyrant

 

[Chongo]

So MK is so imbalanced that if you are right outside the top 10 you are mid tier?

 

[Briggs8417]

So MK is so imbalanced that if you are right outside the top 10 you are mid tier?

That is the very definition of a mid tier character? He isn't top tier, but he sure as hell isn't low tier. Wtf else is he? He is a higher mid tier character, more commonly referred to on here as A tier.

The amount of 1st place and second place finishes here.. Why is there even a debate? On top of that REO just took PL out at EVO.

If you aren't going to count community majors towards a resume then why should people travel to them? They HAVE to count. And i'm talking about recognized community MAJORS that at minimum 60-70 people showed up for.

I don't want to get this thread off topic anymore. If you want to continue the conversation PM me.

If we take an Olympic approach...

The way medal table is formed at the Olympics is by sorting nations by total gold medals won, then by total silver medals won and then by total bronze medals won. Number of gold medals is more important than total (gold+silver+bronze) number of medals. For example, at the 2012 Summer Olympics South Korea won 13 gold medals and 28 medals overall and finished ranked #5 on the medal table, while Germany won 11 gold medals and 44 medals overall and finished ranked #6 overall (despite their total medal tally being greater than S. Korea's).

If we consider Evo as an equivalent of the Olympic gold medal, MLGs as equivalent of the Olympic silver and other majors as equivalents of bronze medals then Perfect Legend is the #1 player.

As ABBA once sang- The Winner Takes It All...

[Song was a hit for a reason lol]

 

[Illmatix]

why so humble 16 bit? putting yourself at 8 you silly goose.....

Hi Reo.

Jr should absolutely be as high as he is. Who would you have over him? I love Foxy (he didn't get 9th, he got 13th, I think), and I genuinely believe he's better than what his performance at EVO suggests, but I'm not sure how he can realistically be placed on the list (that's not to say that he's less skilled or anything).

16 Bit over Dizzy makes sense since he's been consistently placing top 8's pretty much since the game's inception. There's something to be said for longevity.

This post is somewhat unbearable

2012 was the definitive year of Mk. Also in 2011 I had a 256 man online new egg tourney I won, Nec top 8 and 2013 scr top 8, UFGT 9th, CEO 5th, MWC 1st, 9th at Evo

Edit : and foxy? Not enough data. The players he said are the best are the ones he beats over there who also got blown out here before the head injury and after

 

[CrimsonShadow]

CrimsonShadow also said Maxter was better than PL for making various winners finals at East Coast locals (the funny thing is IIRC he did actually win FV2012 with Sektor). Think about that for a minute, lol.

1) I didn't say Maxter was better for making the finals of east coast locals. Not sure where you got that from.
2) Rankings-wise. Maxter was higher based on people he'd beaten, and he ended up beating PL twice when they finally met. Coincidence?

 

[ForeverKing]

How right or wrong am I? Who did I leave off. Make your case.

Your list is decently accurate, but I will give you my reasons as to why I believe I am a top 10 competitor.

I have been to 10 majors since I have started playing MK9 competitively. Those majors in order from first to last are:

MLG Colombus
PowerUp 2012
Season's Beatings
Evolution 2012
MLG Raleigh
Season's Beatings Ascension
Frosty Faustings
WinterBrawl 9
UFGT9
Evolution 2013

Out of those 1o majors I went to, I placed top 8 at seven of them, and the three that I didn't place top 8 at I placed 9th. So that means that I have a 70% chance of making top 8 at any tournament that I go to, and if even if I don't make top 8 I am at least getting 9th for sure. I have never placed lower than 9th. That is a pretty good consistency. Not to mention that I am the only person in the world (besides Perfect Legend) that can say I have placed top 8 at every single Evo I have been to. And all cockiness aside, I honestly believe I would have placed top 8 at Evo 2011 had I gone. Reo and PL were 1st and 2nd place there, and I used to get them best of them online but that was back when I didn't go to tournaments. Also I am like one of 5 people who has two Evo top 8's under their belt. Back in the past I used to get tournament nerves alot, which caused me to get 9th place at those three tournaments instead of top 8. Now that I no longer get tournament nerves in MK9, I really don't see myself getting less than top 8 anywhere ever again

Not to kiss ass, but this man speaks the truth. He used to be a legend on XBL back in 2011, and could have easily been your OG Evo champion. lol
