Emperor Jupiter wins Injustice: Gods Among Us at Apex 2014!

[Relaxedstate]

Congrats Jupiter!

 

[Eric The Scruffy]

Once upon a time an ignorant fool exclaimed "Where are the Martian Manhunter players in the top 8? Why are they not winning?". The wise man responded by saying "When they enter tournaments, they will win". And so it was.

Oh please. Nobody ever thought Martian Manhunter was bad. Everyone around here agrees that he's a top tier character, but the issue has been people saying that he was going to *dominate* the tournament scene for free. I saw Reo enter DTN, and I saw him get defeated very convincingly by Rico suave and then eliminated in losers by Arma who got the runback. I just saw Rico completely shut Reo's gameplan down again.

Maybe Jupiter is just a good player using a good character?

 

[trustinme]

Great logic there: Jupiter was an EC Jax player in MK9.

Insert quarter to continue.

dont u mean insert a quarter to continue enjoying yourself?

says Fred Mahvel

lol ya as in Freddy Marvel

[CrimsonShadow]

oh i didnt know he went to MK tournaments but i didnt only mean jupiter, why was everyone saying he came out of nowhere then?

They said that because he has been laying low in IGAU and wasn't able to attend the tournies until recently.

But he had a great Jax in MK9, attended east coast majors, and was becoming a beast before the game died.

As far as other players, I'm not sure what you meant -- REO and SonicFox are also MK players, so that's 3/4 of the Top 4.

ah i see i was talking about Rico Suave, KDZ, Darth Arma who were all top 8 and Rico and Arma were 1 and 2 at DTN

 

[AK elitegoomba]

yessssss the 2 players that were on my top 5 dream team that were at this tourney got 1st and 2nd.

Ok, but if 3 out of 4 of the Top 4 was former MK players, and one of them won, how does that equate to your statement that the best players are people who didn't play MK?

Confused.

Also, at one point DarthArma was one of the top ranked players in MK9 online. But even if you don't count him, it seems like your argument doesn't hold water.

You would've sounded way more intelligent without this last sentence.

The cool thing about the INJ scene is that it includes both the MKC And other FGCs. There is no reason to try and compare because there are top players from almost all of them.

well ill admit i was under the impression jupiter wasnt an mk player but i wasnt just talking about this tournament and i said "starting to look like they might" lol i didnt say "non MK players are better at injustice" so calm yourself

the point i was making was maybe being an MK player doesnt make you as automatically better as people seem to think it does
im not saying these guys never picked up a mk game but they werent the big MK community tourney guys id say names but im not trying to put anyone on blast or fire shots, just making observations.

 

[trustinme]

Thanku lord zoidberg,hopefully you'll blow your trousers off in merriment and continue to enjoy yourself.

I'm not angry.. I'm just asking what about this tournament made you decide that it's starting to look like the best Injustice players are guys who didn't play MK9. Because the logic didn't make any sense based on the results.

I'm not even going to bring up NEC

mhh is over rated, just look at how well rico played and he just got back in to injustice.
people need to stop acting as if any scrub could win with MHH.
reo would had made top 8 with or w/o mhh and jupiter is the best martian.

im just gonna stop here and say your questions were answered in my previous posts. whether you wanna start reading the things i said is completely up to you

he's not overrated just not brain dead, the reason everyone isnt dominating with him is because he takes effort and skill to use correctly, when the other top tiers are alot easier to use

 

[16 Bit]

The same guy who won this tournament entered the biggest post-patch tournament to date, a tournament that featured more than 8 players (by about 100) and didn't make it out of pools. This is by no means a diss on Jupiter who's obviously a tremendous player, but using this tournament while ignoring NEC for some sort of vindication is hilarious. We were specifically told that REO was going to be the one to dominate, and correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he get 3rd at DTN last week?

So yeah, MMH won a tournament. Good, it's overdue. He's a great character used by two great players (and Shujynkidink...apparently) so it makes sense that he won a tourney. Is there anything else this is supposed to prove? Variable block stun maybe (sorry, couldn't resist)?

As usual Coolwhip regulating.


You didn't mention the best part. The same guys now gloating were throwing Jupiter under the bus just weeks ago. Fox News tactics.

 

[16 Bit]

But anyway props to this top 3. Props to REO for a successful return to the MKC, props to Rico for a return to form and props to Jupiter. There's no denying he's the best MMH for now.

 

[Yoaks]

Damn it! I can't believe I forgot about Apex! Thank God for VOD's right?

 

[NoobHunter420]

Certain people want to make mhh look like a kabal which is not the case.

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

starting to look like the best injustice players might be guys who arent mk players/werent around in the mk days.....

To clarify on this:

Top players of each scene that played MK9 (probably going to accidentally leave some people out)

SoCal:
Theo
Slayer
Tyrant
Nubcakes
Krayzie
Godspeed
Me (Do I count?)
LEGEND
hell even Aris

ATL:
Pig
Smarr
Glass Sword
Tre
Clint
(probably missing a lot in here)

GGA:
Bit
Slips
PPJ
pretty much all of them I'm just going to stop listing them lol

NorCal:
Cowboy
Blind Ducky
The SNKE

Vegas:
DJT
MIT
Dab (who is norcal now I guess?)
Flawedzilla

Northeast is the only scene that has more than like 2 top players that didn't play MK9 as far as I can see. I could be wrong though.

 

[ETC AdmiralAugustus]

Bow before us Capcum players! BOW!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AK elitegoomba]

ATL is like half and half mk9 players and half from other games. I never touched mk9 myself

 

[CptXecution]

But anyway props to this top 3. Props to REO for a successful return to the MKC, props to Rico for a return to form and props to Jupiter. There's no denying he's the best MMH for now.

Prefect wording at the end yet... for now.. because "you just don't know"

*sigh*
like i said before im not saying the guys never played MK im saying they werent the top MK scene guys or might not have been MK players, im sure most of the FGC played MK at some point.

This is by no means a diss on Jupiter who's obviously a tremendous player, but using this tournament while ignoring NEC for some sort of vindication is hilarious.

The only reason he didn't make it out of pools at NEC is because he didn't know the Lex Luthor matchup and also he had to get through me lol jk but we by far had the hardest pool at NEC. RenoRacks, Cdjr, godspeed, pimpimjim, me, jupiter were all put in the same pool. Only two people get to make it out.

I'm glad that Jupiter finally won a tournament and showed everyone how good he was, I knew he was capable of it ever since I played him. Him and Reo's MMH are both awesome, I can't decide who's is better
