Giving Competitive MK A Try

Hey everyone, I'm a longtime MK fan. I keep up with the lore, but I haven't put in the time to truly become good at the games since I've always been investing more time into playing RPGs and Smash Bros.

I've had a change of heart though and I plan on going into MKX with more of a competitive mindset like I have with some other games.

I'm a moderator at the Smashboards community, but since I no longer play any of the games, I kinda just go there to hangout more so than to actually talk Smash Bros :p

Well that's about it. If you have any questions you'd like to ask, feel free to do so, I don't mind answering them.

Definitely looking forward to playing MKX and hanging around this community for a while!

P.S. - I've noticed that people have their main and variation included under their avatar. How do I add that stuff for myself? I've looked around, but can't seem to find anything.

Welcome!
As for the variation thing, hover your mouse near the bottom of your profile pic, once you're in the right spot a "Mood Chooser" should pop up. Click that. :)

Welcome to the competitive side of MK, my friend.

It's addicting lol. I never would have played MK9 for as long as I did if I hadn't found this community. Enjoy your stay!

Watching competitive MK9 changed my outlook. I've always loved the series, but for some reason, I never decided to look into it more. Recently, I watched some matches from EVO and fell in love all over again.

Oh, and I noticed you're also from Georgia! How's the scene here?

If you're not as good as some of the others as first, Don't take it hard because it will help you understand how that player plays or how the character can move and attack and you can analyze that so once you do get better you'll know how to deal with that situation, also don't rage quit if you get frustrated(mostly cause your head will blow up) but also always take however the match goes in a learning perspective and use that to further your growth to play like other competitive players :)

Atlanta is huge. They're gonna have get togethers like 4 times a week man. If you're close to Atlanta, I would suggest checking it out.

I'm not really the guy to ask about that though as I'm on the fringe of that scene.

I kept reading "giving competitive MKA a try". I was like "Man, you certainly missed the boat on that one".

I also defaulted to thinking of MKA as Armageddon, thankfully. Then I remembered MK Advance. Nobody should ever play that travesty. Ever. I still want my money back for that one.

Thanks!

I'm a pretty relaxed player in general. I've spent some time in the competitive Smash scene before I just decided to drop it for something else (MK). Losing helps you grow if you take the time to learn from mistakes afterward, so I'm looking forward to getting beat down for a while :p

Niiiiiice. I should've known, due to Final Round events. I'm in Statesboro for college, but when I'm back at home, I'm pretty close to Atlanta, so this sounds perfect.

I like to pretend that MK Advance was never a thing. It doesn't exist :)
