Do you consider yourself a top player in IGAU? and MK9? You don't have to answer this but it's the essence of my initial posting just above.
Right now the scene is divided between two games with some keeping in touch via TYM or Skype and others coming out to the local. When MKX drops all of us are going to be facing off against each other with a clean slate. It's going to be very interesting and this is why I don't think we can truly define who the top players are right now.
Just because Zaf and Jer don't play IGAU doesn't mean you can just ignore them. They have shown to be capable and have won the yearly M.A.T. MK9 tournaments. The actual yearly MK9 tournament.
I'll use @C-Sword as an example here and I hope he takes this as a compliment. His performance in MK9 I would say is middle of the pack. He beats people and he looses to people but he hasn't broken into the top 3 of any local thus far. IGAU on the other hand he does not play so we can't gauge his performance. Now there's one thing the IGAU players may have forgotten. C-Sword has arguably the best execution of our entire scene combined. With that in mind, I ask you, what if he had simply picked up Zod and IAZB'd the shit out of all of us and 50/50'd all of us from across the screen because #Trait? What would you think of him then if he execution alone allows him to play characters like Zod that nobody else can play?
Anyways, this is what I think about. I look at our scene and I notice qualities in players and little moments where I go "hah! I like seeing that, some other players who out perform you don't even do that! Good shit". While you can claim XYZ player is best in MK9 or IGAU I don't see it that way because of the many reasons I've already brought to light. At this point I'm just a curious cat thinking to the future and looking forward to seeing everyone bring their own skill set to a brand new game and see where we all stand.
