Which player has the best fundamentals in the NRS community?

[juicepouch]

So why aren't Bane players allowed to have good fundamentals?
I remember when people were freaking out about scorpion and we were sitting with a 5-5 because we were the only ones who actually had to learn how to play the game from the get-go.

I mean in a game of 6 and 8 frame lows, our fastest is in the double digits. Its easy to sit behind the "oh they have armor so they don't need to worry" but armor has so many countermeasures, and we can't get by on double punch alone. Only reason we even contend in the Batgirl MU is because we can use our longer reaching normals to control space. What is that?

We have to play with a slower deck and rely on nothing short of good spacing and frame abuse to get by sometimes. Not saying we have it easy, but man it hurts to see everyone just shove us to the side because armor is a thing. Feck that, play Honeybee or Zatanna or Superman and tell me Bane doesn't need fundamentals, because armor doesn't do enough in those MUs.

fak u bane

love, grundy

I'm surprised Cd Jr hasn't been getting more votes given his success in Mk9 and Killer Instinct. He got my vote.

I enjoy Rico Suave's fundamentals a lot. Watch him play other games...he's generally pretty pure. Watch his Thunder vs F Champ's Glacius, or his Abel in USF4...all use dashes, walkups, throws, baits and just general spacing and fundamentals well.

This. Folks forget...some of us were playing him BEFORE he even had a dash let alone the rest. All we could use were fundamentals to get by. Hell I co mained vanilla Bane/Green Arrow. Struggle was real.

Reo would be an obvious pick for MK out of that list, but at the same time he didn't really get into Injustice. It would likely need to be a player that mastered both. .

You can have great fundamentals and never master a game. Fundamentals are built upon, the more solid your fundamentals, the easier it will be to improve and "master" the game. REO had great fundamentals in Injustice, I mean he consistently made top 8 including at EVO. He just didn't stick with it.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

No one mentioning me? I am sad now . Y'all got DJT in y'all head and forget MIT is someone too....... #MIFREE haha

I barely see you play. I've only seen your EVO matches.

 

[GhosT]

Damn I aint on the list M2dave? You Fool!!! , I nominate me and DJT #YEEAAAPP. Other honorable mentions:
Dizzy
CD Jr
SonicFox
Pig of the Hut
16 Bit
Maxter
Ok this list going to get too long, y'all get what I mean.

Lol bruh you and djt hanging tough with all the KI guys at mlg off nothing but pure fundamentals and having a huge disadvantage only knowing half of the game due to lack of time investment. Yeah man anyone who plays yall knows what's up.

But like I said and you say it's a very long list and I think impossible to put a finger on one player

 

[Doombawkz]

fak u bane

love, grundy

Hue.

 

[YOMI MITYEAP]

I barely see you play. I've only seen your EVO matches.

I got matches man , just type in MIT mk9 and u will find some matches.

 

[TotteryManx]

The list of players is ridiculously long, but jr, rico, maxter, sr, slips, terry bros, come to mind first.

It still boggles my mind that ppl still hate on Chris G. Personality aside, umk3 was his first love if i remember correctly. He signs up for nrs games at tournaments, which is more supportive than what most of us do.

 

[M2Dave]

Maxter should have been on that list.

In reality, no Cyrax player should be on that list.

 

[dribirut]

We need to find the X-ray dash cancel video. That was too sexy

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

In reality, no Cyrax player should be on that list.

Dave, with your godlike fundamentals, how did you not put yourself on the list?

The public needs to know that zoning is a fundamental too.

 

[Linkuei82]

In reality, no Cyrax player should be on that list.

Maxter didn't just play Cyrax though.

 

[PND_Ketchup]

It's a really funny question really.

So many amazing characters in NRS games throw fundamentals out the window, it's hard to tell if one player was fundamentally superior at times.

 

[M2Dave]

The public needs to know that zoning is a fundamental too.

Come on, fool. You know very well that zoning is a dirty word in this community.

 

[Lone]

i went with reo. if versatile was still in the kummunity i would rate him a near second.. i would actually vote for M2Dave as well.

What ever happened to him, do you know? I think the only people around from those days are @Krayzie, @General M2Dave (who went by Igniz or something, iirc), @Konqrr, you, and I. Maybe the @CRKFIEND guy but I don't know if he's the same player.

It'd be interesting to see how that kid would stack up these days, I think of him as the Sonic Fox of that era.

 

[NoobHunter420]

Reptilian God lord, 16 bit,KDZ,rico and course fucking Dizzy

 

[DarthArma]

Who has the FUNDiest fundamentals .... funwise

 

[Marvaz]

DJT... its not even close. But there are a few others like 16bit,reo,cowboy etc who are tied for 2nd

 

[dribirut]

Can't believe kevo da man is not an option

 

[EMPEROR_THEO]

In order
1. Tom Brady
2. Limbodawg
3. BWizz
4. M2Dave
5. Chris G

 

[JTB123]

@GGA Dizzy gets my vote, at his peak his Cage was exemplary to watch. D/MIT are also strong contenders, Cowboy too. Thinking about it there are several that deserve to be mentioned.

 

[Eddy Wang]

REO
Theo
Dizzy
MITDJT (You guys put DJT on the list, but not MIT is being silly IMO, the reason why DJT is so good in first place is also because of MIT)
DJT (indeed)
Tom Brady
Bit
Peckapowa (He understands these stuffs like science)
Me (not trollin, no one cares anyway lol)
Wound
Jupiter

 

[Big Pampering]

man I have been trying to find the link to that match as well. I checked the MLG archives and didn't find a thing. Also wasn't on youtube. I wonder if someone has a recording of it.

It's not online. Mlg Anaheim was my favorite tournament of mk9 and most mlg matches aren't archived anywhere.

 

[Hruza Da Bruza]

When it's comes to raw fundamentals the first people that come to my mind are absolutely @Slips, @SonicFox5000 @GGA 16 Bit and ChrisG. But a person that also has some really good fundamentals and understanding of play (And also one of my Masters)is @GGA Saucy Jack.
