Injustice Rivalries: will the lines be redrawn?

[The_Tile]

Current top players are better at sniffing glue than starting rivalries

Instead of money matches we need "Marijuana matches", winner gets a gram of dat finest kush bruh. That'd get the passion burning.

Great thread, very informative yet easily allows trash talking.

IGN 10/10

EDIT: That 16bit vs PL comeback was mindblowing! Wow.

Third, PL vs the world.

Before going into UFGT X, PL made one of the greatest threads that TYM has seen. I am, of course, talking about training wheels.

OH MY GOD! PL is even worse than I thought.

That was it? Injustice rivalries get hyped up. There's gotta be more lol. I wouldn't know, I wasn't as aware of the scene back then. I only watched EVO and CEO during the injustice days. I've gone back and watched a few other tourneys but that's it and i wasn't aware of all the juice back then

 

[ATP2014]

I just want weekly local hype to come back. ESL and Kombat cup are great, but don't let the ease of online play kill off WNF, GGA, Atlanta Kombat/Yomi, 8 on the Break, NLBC, and more. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY.

lol pl vs kdz , remember that post pl made about their games

 

[Tweedy]

Funny how PL talks shit to people about kiddies pools when he can't compete in the much more dense games.

 

[I$AAC]

We need to have REGIONAL rivalries to return, none of this "super team" bullshit that happened in the early days of mkx.

Idk how dense mkx is though

 

[PLAYING TO WIN]

P2W vs. Rico was the most amusing rivalry in INJ2. Bringing suitcase with cash in it just takes things to another level.

hey man... I made the challenge and brought the cash. I showed a few people just to prove I wasn't full of shit. Tried to approach him a few times that weekend but got shrugged off.

Rico is a good dude and that got taken to far. I beat him in tournament after some words were said mid set then he beat me later... it should have ended after that but it didn't. he is a great young player and one of the best multi game players in the entire community.



edit...
my personal favorite rivalry was 100% M2dave vs anyone he looked at low gun shots funny.

Injustice had amazing scenes and locals: atlanta, chicago, ohio, florida, tristate, virginia, west coast, texas. It was flooded and awesome. A local tournament almost every day of the week, so there was always some good play to watch. Most hype thing I can think of for mkx was the cowboy vs king mm and it was because that match also had naming rights. Here's hoping injustice 2 brings back some of that local connection.

 

[AK XEN0M0RPH]

And a perfect example of scene rivalry: kit 2014 atl vs gga. That tournament breathed life into the scene again

 

[TheRealOnlyGoonie]

WHY DO U GUYS LIKE TO SHIT ON PL? CARL IS THE FUCKIN MAN.

I am not crapping on MKX so please do not take it that way to anyone reading this... but I think people seriously just didn't like the game. A lot of players I talk to said they were "Just playing it bc everyone else is and its where the money is" This is extremely similar to what a lot of SF5 players are saying now.

 

[Indecisive]

I can Confirm @PLAYING TO WIN Brought the money for the Money match. That man had stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks on stacks

 

[A F0xy Grampa]

Current top players are better at sniffing glue than starting rivalries

Old players with old rivalries are better at failing now than succeeding.
Drama is icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

There'll be new top players for inj2, and old top players will fall off, such is the way.

I'll throw a gram down for this. Hell yeah.
MKX or IGAU, name your terms.

Is anyone going to Gandyman's gathering in NY on the 4'th?
I am so ready to start some delusional shit.

 

[TheRealOnlyGoonie]

THE NRS COMMUNITY IS TOO SOFT. EVERYONE WANTS TO BE NICE WITH ONE ANOTHER. BUNCH OF WUSSIES IS U ASK ME.

I understand with this sentiment. Ive ran into a number of players on the injustice beta that got their start in mkx, saying they were enjoying injustice 2 more than mkx. Now this could be because its fresh and new, but I, myself, am enjoying it far more. The patient play and more potential risk in risk/reward situations is very apparent.

Yeah, I wish this MM would have gone down, because it would have been fun to watch. But there are so many great memories of salty Injustice tournament matches, upsets, cool character drama etc.

Hoping we can rekindle some of this for Injustice 2.

 

[WiseM0nkey]

@SneakyTortoise is, by far, the best poster in this site... his skillz are second only to @EMPEROR_OF_OUTWORLD

 

[Panda MK]

I am PRAYING that KDZ is going to blow Sonic out of the water this year. Nothing against Sonic obviously, the guys the best player to ever play a NRS game. But someone needs to "take his throne".

 

[Panda MK]

I want to fight enough people to warrant the sparking of a rivalry.

I'm completely fucking insane.
I cut a great promo.
And I'm a pretty damn decent player.
That in and of itself will make for a more interesting feud than the NRS scene will ever see.

You don't make feuds the way they used to be made anymore: you start a fire and throw it at whoever emerges first.

Accepting applications.

(Also: eventually I have to have an epic battle with TrePound. He knows why. #RIPSladeAndHawkgirl )

I describe myself the exact same way, "And I'm a pretty damn decent player"

 

[chores]

i believe it was actually "kitty pools"

 

[EdFig81]

Once 16-bit stopped competing, the hype and rivalries faded away. I miss him being active in our scene.

Being he works with nrs it's understandable. I miss though @16 Bit scalp posts from back in the days. They were funny as fuck imo.

 

[tatterbug4]

PPJ Vs Filipino Man
That was one right? I can't remember its been so long
