YOMI DJT Wins Mortal Kombat X at CEO 2015!

[CrimsonShadow]

What?? A @funkdoc writeup? My eyes deceive me!!

 

[Airvidal]

i remember this site posting a lot of long writeups for locals and figured this was the way to go, but maybe things have changed since i last read front-page stuff. thanks!

Write up was amazing, I was out the whole day and missed top 8. Thanks to your so detailed post, I'll be able to skip everything till GFs when watching the archive. So informative, thanks a lot!

hi everyone, this is my first time doing this! i figured this tournament deserved a long writeup since it's the biggest MKX tourney yet and had a lot of upsets and big storylines. would definitely appreciate any constructive criticisms!

I personally think it kicked ass

I'm picturing DJT spraying YOMI on the belt

Hollywood Hogan.... man it doesn't get no better.

It was awesome meeting you this weekend. Also thank you and the Yomi boys for coming down to versus! It was a great time!

I loved the tournament but I'm already sick of THOTya. Her mirrors are probably fun to play but so exhausting to watch.

I really think the block breaker will get buffed soon, they should at least. They're useless right now when they're needed the most. Get rid of the breaker stamina penalty and make block breakers cost less, imo.

IMO this screws over characters like Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Cage, etc... all the while making 50/50's even more dominant since you can't block breaker when you guess wrong.

Block breakers work fine in this game. People are fine with combo breakers costing two bars because they're more damaging than a block string, but block breakers are not designed to work like push blocks in Injustice, but rather, to save you from certain death. So yeah, if I outplayed you at a given moment to be able to initiate a block string that will kill you, and you want to escape it to avoid losing the match, I deserve to make you spend two bars of meter. Why should a lifeline cost less?

i think tanya is super fun to play... mirrors not so much, exhausting is a good word for it

Who did Dizzy lose to in pools? I gotta know. I actually did see Nikolass but figured Dizzy never showed up or something. Damn... Is Raiden even top anymore?

People said f1 being high was not a hard nerf. What the non raiden players don't know is that made him lose all pressure and lose his only good mid. Hes free to d1s now and pretty much revolves around his 50/50. Still top sure, but if he loses his OS and his only mixup is -63 lol, I don't think he'll be top anymore

This. Block breakers should stay at 2 bars, but not require any stamina.

I think they should be 1 bar of meter and two bars of stamina

 

[ghostwriteous]

I think they should be 1 bar of meter and two bars of stamina

Block breakers at 1 bar would make the game look terrible IMO. Like someone said earlier, theyre not really deisgned to be used as often as you would pushblock in Injustice.

CEO was the death of 50/50s. The meta has evolved beyond guessing to runaway and continuous meter-building chip pressure

 

[YOMI MITYEAP]

You've never noticed? LOL.

Go back to the most recent tournies and MIT is always wearing that orange looking shirt and shorts and DJT is always wearing that grey Yomi t-shirt. It's funny it's like their uniforms.

Funniest post of the thread probably lmao, trust me, we have more than enough clothes , just repping our sponsor at events

Thanks for using Reptile to spice up CEO Grand Finals a little bit. Watching you compete with Scorpion and Reptile is very fun to watch

theyre not designed to do ANYthing right now lol

 

[kabelfritz]

theyre not designed to do ANYthing right now lol

they are a last resort and shouldnt be more. only to be used when <10% health and caught in a blockstring

 

[coolwhip]

theyre not designed to do ANYthing right now lol

They are designed to save your ass if you've got two bars and you're about to be chipped out.
