[TackyHaddock]

No Gross for cassie or vendetta for a list?

my list wasn't meant to be anything official, just my own opinions. i want to hear your opinions as well, especially since you are a fellow member of the tribe

 

[Mitsuownes]

I honestly think I deserve a spot on there..

Tournament results without a NRS pot bonus don't count.

St9rm hasn't even played in any tournaments with an NRS pot bonus.. And I got 3rd at the Kombat Cup finals which was funded by NRS money

The exercise from the HMK podcast was more of a "who comes to your mind first" type of thing, rather than an exhaustive evaluation of all possible candidates based on set criteria. I actually did watch Taco a lot in ESL season one, but perhaps because I haven't seen him as much since then I thought of Madzin and Brady first

Fair

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I'll always take @Slips over any scorpion player, any day of the week, any game, any year

When slips is prepped he's miles away the best w the spear

Anything that has to do with ESL seems clearly to be a lie.

You're mopping up whole Holland, but Europe is free.

Your argument is invalid.

 

[BigMilk]

I don't see my Nightwing on here anywhere

I wanted to say "because your NW wasn't the best" then I wanted to say "you played NW?" But your NW was so good I couldn't pick a response.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

Oh crap, you play Marksman too, correct? For some reason I could only recall Darth Arma using him in tournament. If I had thought about it for 15 more seconds you definitely would have been up there!

Silence children I was clearly best dick. Well fly can be best damian I guess
Edit: I miss nightwing so much but not injustice. Fuck interactibles

 

[Israfel]

I haven't heard Neto's name in awhile lol. He appears to have stopped streaming MKX completely and is very likely not alive anymore. The match between him and sonic fox was arguably one of the most entertaining MKX spectacles to date

Right? I tried to search his name on twitch and it seems to no longer be a thing either. This belongs on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.

 

[ienjoywinning]

This thread is based off an interesting exercise that the UK gents came up with in a recent HMK podcast. As we near the end of the year, who are the best players of each character? The HMK guys did this live on the podcast and were instructed to say the best player of each character immediately after a character’s name was mentioned. Since this is a thread rather than a live discussion, you can take a little more time here but try to go with your first response rather than overthinking it. You can also break it down by variation, put more than one person if you think it is a toss up, or put a question mark if you can’t decide. No need to do the entire list either, respond with regard to some or all characters. I took an initial stab at this below.

[A F0xy Grampa]

Anything that has to do with ESL seems clearly to be a lie.

You're mopping up whole Holland, but Europe is free.

Your argument is invalid.

Domination of a single country isn't enough in Europe, it has to be the continent, reason being is because each scene individually is quite weak, but together we're stronger.

 

[Youphemism]

If we're looking at who the best is results wise then Jupe is the best Kano, then Noobe/Royale/Showtime then Coach Steve. Shoutouts to Doctor Stabs, Master VHD, Biohazard, Mustard, even Tyrant at one point I think for repping him too! I'm probably forgetting some people...props to you guys as well K N I F E B O Y Z
