Petition Resurrect Somberness (We need complete frame data!)

I want to first take a moment to thank Somberness for all his work in MK9. He single handedly made the game 10x more competitive and 100x more interesting. I remember begging him to get Nightwolf frame data before Final Round when Big D made top 8 and I got put out early...lol

But I also remember staring at the frame data screen for hours, sitting in practice mode working on new setups. I remember working on Skarlet Tactics videos referencing his frame data time and time again...perfecting my enhanced dagger cancels to the frame.

I KNOW THAT ALL OF YOU DID THE SAME THING WITH YOUR CHARACTERS!

Fighting games NEED that information as it is VITAL for the overall success of the competitive scene. Somberness has earned himself a name among the stars. He has at the bare minimum earned himself our gratitude.

_________________________________________________

I made this post to try and get a couple things done:

1) Somberness should be paid to do this. I propose NRS hire him to perfect frame data. He understands fighting games...and understand NRS games. We know we can trust his info as well. This should be heavily considered to help uplift Injustice as well as make MK10 even better and competative from the beginning. This is best case scenario.

2) To entice Somberness to start a similar project for injustice and help the entire community gather around this game. Even to potentially start a donation project to offer him payment to do this.

Please show your support by tagging him and anyone you think may be able to help make a difference. Also share your personal stories of how his frame data helped you in MK9.

(I don't really know who to tag)

He hasn't been around in a long time. He still has his staff permissions, but I haven't heard from him nor has he been on in since February 11th 2013. If anyone has a way to contact him, please do. He is a huge asset to everyone in the MKC.

Somberness was fantastic.

Shame NRS themselves won't just release all the frame data that isn't in the game on here, or there own websites.
I would love to know the actual cancel advantage for a lot of things.

In a game where you cancel normals into specials and can cancel the special or mb b3 f3 any string at any time, you would think that the cancel advantage would be part of the BASIC frame data.

i have learned to depend on the jump test...

set the dummy to jump... hit them with whatever then hold up. u can gauge how much adv or disadv u have by who jumps first.

similar... set the dummy to block all and jump and u can determine ur hit stun/block stun.


some of the frame data is right... but i rely on my own test to confirm/correct adv.

it would be nice to have somber do what he did in mk though.

I believe Paulo basically just said cancel advantage wasn't in the game because they ran out of time, and said this was them just getting started with the concept and they would expand upon it with future games.

Hopefully with MK10, they go the VF route, and have the frame data built into the game, so it will always be accurate.

Until then, I would just love for them to dump all the raw data on the web somewhere.

That's what I do...but neutral jumps are slower than angled jumps. And it does get annoying after a while to do that. I just wish the right steps would be taken. And in my mind that is him working for NRS.

If somberness is in fact working for NRS and was responsible for all that frame data on April 16 and still today then he's washed up

Somberness definitely made MK9 100x times better.

his very detailed Data helped to create lots of tech and even today the reason i'm able to play Skarlet at the current level is definitely because of him.
