The 2014 Predictions Thread

I hope everyone is feeling the holiday cheer! I love this community (kind of) and thought it might be fun to speculate on the gifts that 2014 will bring. So join me as I usher in the new year by making wild and unfounded guesses about how the coming months will pan out, and feel free to add your own.

-The TYM community will continue to debate every character's tier status based almost entirely on tournament placings with a small dash of one guy's MU chart for good measure
-5 threads will be created indicting the community for letting MK9 die. 4 of them are by Perfect Legend
-Hidden properties are found in a previously unused Joker string. In addition, a Cyrax-esque reset is found with chattering teeth and he becomes the unequivocal top character
-Ed Boon off-handedly tweets that Mortal Kombat 10 is slated for late 2016. IGAU haters have one collective aneurysm
-FOREVER KING gets 2nd place at EVO, gets so upset that he goes outside and flings a dumpster against a wall for an hour
-The word "plebeian" makes its way into the FGC lexicon
[email protected]. re-joins and re-unjoins the community 4 times over, writing a page-long thread every time, yet never goes to a major again
-Female players are accepted as equals and are allowed to compete without suffering sexual harassment never mind that one is too far-fetched
-Unhappy with his progress with the Hitbox, AK Pig Of The Hut uses a Rocksmith guitar to compete
-Everyone completely forgets Nightwing exists
-Someone makes a new Red Hood DLC request thread, Boon responds by releasing a free Superman skin
-The Kryptonite Council continues without Pig. The first podcast is 3 and a half hours of REO and General M2Dave fighting about who got nerfed harder between Deathstroke and Scorpion
-Tom Brady does whatever
-KDZ spends the strong majority of the year in Summoner's Rift
-EVO pays out the top 64 this year, the 1st place winner takes home a cool $27.93

I write too much.
The Joker one *might* not be as far fetched as one might think, other than the uneauivocal top tier part. That said, he could rise with some crazy reset tech.

The Forever King one made me laugh prety hard.

Good god - that's not a prediction list, that's just facts and every day life here in TYM, sonny.

Now make actual predictions, stat!



And who's Nightwing? Is it that mutant that teleports or something?

I WILL see a female placing high in my favorite games before I hang up my Hitbox. I never did, but I didn't put myself out there for nothing. They can watch me get bodied on stream and think "If that free little bitch can give it a try, I could too!"

Encouraging to say the least.

All in on Johnny Football
People will start to believe Aquaman is mid tier until Tom Brady just frame tridents his way to Evo top 8.
Darth Arma will pull a REO and win like 3-4 majors in a row, leading everyone to believe Batman is undisputed #1.
Cdjr will show up to the next major with 5 new characters at his disposal only to get beaten and claim he doesn't even play.
Pig breaks out of his funk and starts to be a regular top 8'er again.
p2w vs. Rico never happens, sadly.

One of my apprentices Ice Angel will do well for sure, she had a chance to make top what 23 if she didnt have to play me, and thats real well especially at a place that stacked, and she blew some other chicks back out on stream =O lilith is always fun to watch at these majors as well, theres hope for the female combatant, they just need to pick top tiers <3

This is 100% what would happen if he did that

Smash bros will dominate the fgc.
Behind Capcom games, Smash has to be up there for popularity. It definitely has a bigger community than us.
Either way, Melee deserves to dominate the FGC
