DJT in Neutral

DJT has been a phenomenally solid player over the span of MK9, Injustice, and now MKX. I don't think it's without question he is one of the most fundamentally solid players in the NRS scene (in fact if you haven't watched his set vs Reo in Evo 2013 Grand finals watch it now...like right now). Below are clips of his neutral game.

The following clips are from Next Level Battle Circuit, The Break Weekly, and The Common Wealth

Such inspiration...

 

[SneakyTortoise]

DJT's footsies are as good as your threads

 

[TheIrishFGCguy]

DJT using Sub Zero <3

 

[Braindead]

I'm glad you showed off his d1 and standing 1 AA and anti-crossovers multiple times. He's a beast with that.

Great thread as always.

Man that Evo Reo vs DJT video has so much replay value. Never played MK9 but damn Cyrax looks ridiculous...

 

[Reauxbot]

And good thread. Makes me wanna rethink my playstyle. Didnt know there were so many ways to get an opponent. Especially whiff bait. Pretty cool

 

[tatterbug4]

Lol to that one Gif of fisticuffs Johnny keeping sonic in the corner. He just runs up and starts pressing b12121212121212212121212-2-21212-2-

Word, I feel like I leveled up tenfold just looking at these gifs lol.

 

[WATCHD0G]

Man thanks for the work you put into these. there's a lot to learn here.

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

These are great, keep them coming please.

DJT has become one of my fav. players and I'm not just saying that because i'm here replying to this thread. He's definitely one of those players who does things for a reason and seems to have a very deep gameplan thought out(like a chess player) throughout all his matches, but yet has fun with the game. He doesn't let it take over him by being too serious and that's something a lot of people can't do.

 

[Marvaz]

Gosh damn foreal. Djt is on another level with kung lao, sub zero, kenshi,and cage. Theres a few close to him with kung lao like forever king and kinda fxy granpa, and pig kinda close with kenshi but cage and sub no one even comes remotely close.

It happens sometimes. You just gotta relax, enjoy, and don't be nervous. Try not to think about it too much and remember, it happens to every guy.

The quiet ones are naturally the dangerous ones, DJT is no exception.

Haha, well DJT is one of my favorite players to watch. I plan on doing Tyrant next, he was consistently anti-airing Michaelangelo in the XBattle's tournament with standing 1.

DJT's footsies are as good as your threads

Thanks man, looking forward to the salt report

I'm glad you showed off his d1 and standing 1 AA and anti-crossovers multiple times. He's a beast with that.

Great thread as always.

Much appreciated, I couldn't help but notice it when making these gifs

These are great, keep them coming please.

I watched a lot of King of the Hill so this picture made me laugh so hard haha. Thanks
