The Fatal 8 have been Chosen: Predict Who Wins

[AZ MotherBrain]

MIT over Fox in GF

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

Why aren't REO and Pig in this? =/

 

[CrimsonShadow]

with sf4 i feel its more of the players that make it feel that way more so than the game itself. there just happens to be players in there that have 15+ years of experience in fighting game tournaments, which in any game with that kind of experience you should have the upper hand.

The mechanics of that game and style of gameplay (at a top-player's level) still lend themselves to guys who have highly sharpened specific skills over a long period of time.

 

[1man3letters]

be interesting too see what characters get picked.

like sure its likely tyrant pick jax, sonic mileena or sonya but who will tony t play with no cyrax or who will ryan hart choose.
sure be a very fun event

ill be rooting for tony t and ketchup (and sonic fox to do well so i get to see loadsa mileena footage )

main point im trying to say that its the players, not the game that makes the competition for it so high. there have been plenty of guys that jumped into sf4 as their first fighting game and did very well, that a lot of people argue wouldn't do well in other games where they don't have vortex (mostly people saying that about wolfkrone)

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

You ask anyone who's been playing SF for years & they'll tell you SFIV alone has a huge legacy curve & a high barrier for competition due to it.


Ryan Hart is no slouch when it comes to picking up games fast either

I had him listed too but then I thought about my new relationship w @TomlulsBrady and how close we've become and didn't wanna ruin that

The game is still just as important, because the style of gameplay you have to play to compete at that level requires specific skills. There are people who'd stand a chance of beating those guys in Injustice, for example, that would never beat them in a game where the mechanics don't allow them to just get in for free and mix up easily -- regardless of experience.

i mean they have a chance of beating a lot of those guys in injustice because they don't play injustice. just like i have a chance of beating 90% of the people on here in soul calibur because they don't play soul calibur

 

[Youphemism]

I will win all of the casuals!

And then you will dance.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

So out of this list, PL was undoubtedly the best in MK9 and Sonic Fox was undoubtedly the best in Injustice.

A Grand Finals between those two would be huuuuuuuuuuge

I can respect trying not to rock the newly bought wedding boat

Rooting for Ketchup vs Ryan Hart finals

 

[Vithar]

Noob question: Who's Ryan Hart?

He is SF4 player that has nothing to do with MK .... i'm wondering wtf is that guy doing in this tournament?

 

[EVB_VenDeTTa]

Me

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Ryan Hart being invited is a great move guys. Look at his connection with the Capcom Community (which is much bigger than the NRS one). Him representing in an invitational like this and basically advertising MKX and the Mortal Kombat Cup to a wider audience is a BIG deal. You guys talk about wanting to see the community grow and then want to be secluded at the same time.

Stop your whining. Having Ryan there will be great for the scene.

 

[RiBBz22]

I have to withhold my vote, because I want more than one player to take this...but as always, there can be only one.

Lol the question is who you think will win not who you want to win. So emo dude I love it.

 

[SidTheHaze]

i would go with pl or mit, because i can see them being especially dominant when the game first comes out.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

My brain says Sonic.

My heart says Ketchup.

But my jellyfish instincts tell me that PL's plethora of big stage XP combined with everyone being on the relatively same brand new page are going to give Hat Tier the win.

Rooting for @PND_Ketchup

 

[Peckapowa]

Pl and king both have kungdamentals to fall back on, and kl will be strong early, but I picked tyrant he's a special player.

 

[Jimmypotato]

1. King
2. MIT
3. Fox
4. PL
5. Tyrant
6. Ketchup
7. Tony
8. Ryan

 

[Big Pampering]

could also be that all tested it

The reason some players arent invited is because they are testers. So there should be no testers participating.

I gots my money on the Faux

PL did not test?

 

[Big Pampering]

PL did not test?

Thats the info I got. Pl himself has stated multiple times that he is not a tester and cant wait to play the game
