The king has reclaimed his throne in the midst of a battlefield decorated by a seemingly endless storm of arrows! After Slayer...well..."slew" the former champion in Loser's Finals, he and Forever King met in Grand Finals for a rematch consisting of Kung Jin mirrors. Slayer very nearly succeeded in turning the tides of battle, but Forever King's victory destroyed the possibility of a bracket reset. Once again, the throne of Atlanta belongs to this almighty king.

I just wanted to say that Im a newbie and I watched the end of that stream and I was impressed at the great sportsmanship everyone showed. I remember Pig playing King and giving each other tips on how to beat their own character. "You can block that" etc. It was really great.

When I play online I get sooooo many nasty emails that all say "You suck", "Trash" or "F-G" that made me think most the players are so nasty, so it was just awesome to see the successful players have such respect for each other.

Glass Sword may have beat King of the Hut's Kenshi, but he showed an extreme lack of match up knowledge in the fight. Both from trying to zone Kenshi, and from not realizing that an easy punish to Kenshi's teleport is to teleport himself into a full combo.

@Pig Of The Hut @FOREVER KING

Apparently you guys have fused to form King of the Hut, DBZ style. LOL.

In any case, lack of match-up knowledge or no, a win is a win. @YG RM Glass Sword is a whore with training mode, so trust me...he'll be even better equipped for next week, as will Pig.

Its pretty much like that all night at yomi. Blow ups arent fun. Better for everyone to level up and have good matches

Good stuff, improving constantly is the way to go. Sorry if I sounded too critical, I just looked at my post again and saw that I probably sounded harsh. It's not like even I know the match up of every character, and every variation especially with the game only being out for about a month. So I shouldn't judge, all we can hope to do is level up, and blow up whatever beats us in the future.

Nah, it was correct. I did not know that, because of Scorpion's hitbox, he can not neutral jump punch Kenshi when he teleports (as this is what everyone told me to do) I realized during the match that I had to change up tactics to jump back kick which works really consistently.
I played a set with Pig before hand which was the first time I had ever played against a Possessed Kenshi. I did find what you said was correct, but my timing was not tight enough to teleport with the right timing (I was sometimes teleporting too early or too late). I was not confident in the technique when I went into the match, so I tried what everyone told me to do neutral jump punch.
Also, I was perhaps a little over cautious (the zoning), because my previous run-ins with Pig (using Balanced) he beat me because he armored very often during my pressure. I was trying to bait it out.

Someone told you to neutral jump punch? Maybe it would work with a different character can't see it ever working with Scorpion's NJP as it's pretty slow. Jump Back 3 is good, and teleport works for me consistently, I also use this on Goro's teleport as well since it doesn't matter where he lands it's a guaranteed punish. It might take more match familiarity though to know the exact timing. And yeah Balanced Kenshi can be a pain to deal with when you want to go ham. Luckily despite it's retarded push back, Scorpion gets to punish as long as it's not blocked from max range with BF4, or F3>DB4. Running 11 might work as well depending on distance.

Apparently Kitana can NJP Kenshi free when he teleports. Trepound sold it to me as universal tech. Thanks for the advice I did not know balenced was just as unsafe to Scorpion as Possessed is.

Kitana's NJP starts up in 7 frames and has a weird hurtbox/hitbox, Scorpion's starts up in 11 frames and doesn't have a weird hurtbox/hitbox, Kenshi's NJP which is what he will be doing out of it is also 11 frames, but you'll be moving up to meet him, while he will be hitting it as soon as he teleports. So unless you were already neutral jumping and hitting NJP when he decides to teleport, the best you can hope for is a trade. If you got the balls...and some high level "yomi"...you can actually run under him and get a full combo with 214. But you might run too fast and Kenshi will switch sides on throwing out the NJP lol

I know, I was joking lol didn't help that he was a middle aged white cop who was incredibly boring in a game filled with cyborgs, Ninjas, more ninjas, and some random special forces, and sorcerers and what not.

So if he had any tech no one studied him hard enough to find it...doubt he'd ever get above bottom 10 though lol
