In the first week of Injustice, I was playing against Sabin (a tester) on his stream and we were going back and forth. And I was using Ares.
I don't know if that stream ever got archived or put on YouTube, but he had a lot of viewers, around 4k, so maybe it's out there somewhere.
I found the parry glitch in MK9, got no props. I even got called a scumbag for finding it (true story). Not entirely relevant, just want my props though.
You're right. That's why Dizzy beat 16 Bit at UFGT, and why Wound Cowboy beat Slips.
That's a bad analogy. We laugh at TotteryManx because he's legit not that good at the game from what everyone has seen and is challenging an EVO finalist. Tottery could have been playing the game since day 1 and we'd laugh all the same.
Its released the same time as IJ was, sooo what were the majors within a month of IJ's release?In the first week of Injustice, I was playing against Sabin (a tester) on his stream and we were going back and forth. And I was using Ares.
Anyway, what are the majors within a month of MKX's release?
Nah, NRS wanted to give you a call for MKX but the Skype Illuminati vetoed it.I found the parry glitch in MK9, got no props. I even got called a scumbag for finding it (true story). Not entirely relevant, just want my props though.
Summer Jam takes place...in the summer. lol.
MKX comes out... in April.
I don't know why, you all are my best friends.
Sounds good, until you look at the Top 3's of Injustice tournaments for the 1st 3 months that someone posted in this very thread.
To make it an easier analogy...
I did. And I saw Wound Cowboy outplacing Slips. You said there's literally no way to beat a tester within the first month of the game, which is factually incorrect. Nobody said the testers didn't dominate early on.
I disagree. Chris G is possibly the best fundamental player we have, which allows him to live off month 1 tactics throughout the duration of the game. If you have someone like McFly, Sonic Fox, or Doctrine Dark, they'll find the bullshit way before the average guy would 6 months down the line. It's fine to have a fundamental guy on staff, but the combo video makers and tech monsters are the best suited for the job.
I believe you, but was he really going 100%? Plus, in the sense of competitive gaming Bit and PPJ are in higher regard which is more of my point. Those two guys will be playing MKX for the next forever amount of years and placing. They already get paid to play right now, do you want them getting paid to take your one month practice money too??In the first week of Injustice, I was playing against Sabin (a tester) on his stream and we were going back and forth. And I was using Ares.

Lex vs Zod is also 1-9 and not 0-10.
No I don't think you would, and I wouldn't have a problem with it. You are a tech guy. There are tech guys, combo guys, etc, but there are also tournament guys.
Except in my mind, it's far more important to have guys who understand balance, fundamentals, walkspeed, anti-air, move priority, etc... The broken stuff can be patched later. Fundementals of the game are more important because they are its chore base. You think NRS are too stupid to realize this? That's why they get guys like 16 Bit, Slips, Brady etc... and prioritize certain issues over infinites, broken stuff, and the like. There's a reason guys like 16 Bit and Slips are QA's, and others are brought in later to discover broken shit. McFly and other guys you mentioned (Fox being an exception, obviously) work best if you bring them for a week before release to clean things up.
Now you're comparing a match-up to player skills. Another bad analogy.
Which is why I said fundamental guys are good, but then days later there's almost always some infinite or glitch discovered by one of the tech guys. I disagree with fundamental guys being "far better." We need both to coexist, but we are in more need of the tech guys to remove the broken stuff. Do you think after 22 years that NRS is too stupid to know how to get the basics down?

By that logic why get testers at all then? Also, of course NRS are shaping the basics of the game. Paulo is. Not Slips, not 16 Bit, not PPJ. That's not the point though. The point is, the tech guys are only useful once the game has taken its shape. Get them on board from the get-go and they probably wouldn't really have valuable contributions. Again, broken shit can be patched. But balancing characters, understanding what each character needs, move priorities, etc... is invaluable, and only those who truly understand fighting games can have good input about it, as evidenced the ton of cringe worthy buff/nerf suggestions you see on TYM.
