Eh not gonna trash this. I didn't really watch the video, attention span too short.. BUT, players like Reo or Tom or any other top player wouldn't really take this seriously. You gotta do what the rest of us have to do to be taken seriously, show up offline and put in work.

No offense but i see you talking about hyping this up if they accept, but a lot of people will be wondering who tf you are and why they should bother watching. Got to make a name before you start dropping names man. And mkx is over.... might as well try again in inj2
fully agree bro, yeah they probadly won't take it seriously, but you gotta give the dude props, I say it takes courage to come out like this.

but to your point to yes, I'd love to see what he's capable of first, for example destroyer. I had no clue who he was, but then BAM this dude is handing out Ls to all comers and now everyone knows who the hell he is. if it was someone like him or you, you bet your ass people will be calling for the matches

he definitely has my interest now though, imma be looking out for him to see what he does from now on

"I want to post tier lists, but I don't want to allow anyone else to have an opinion or disagree".

Sounds a little bit like our President right now ;)

Tier lists by definition are opinions, and are highly subjective. If you need a mod to hold your hand (on a Mortal Kombat forum, no less) so that no one disagrees with your Unimpeachable Tier List of The Decade then TYM probably isn't the right place to be posting it.

Sensitive and care too much what other people think? Public forums aren't a great place to declare your opinions.

That said, I try to keep people from going excessively nasty with threats and name-calling, etc. There has to be some baseline of sanity. But if you can't handle someone just disagreeing with your highly personal tier list which you've posted as fact 3 months into a game, that's on you.
If you can't handle everyone questioning the validity of a call out this late in a game's life by someone unknown then that's on you, right?

If I went up to, say, Kobe Bryant and said I could beat him 1on1. People would clown me until I play and lose. It's expected.

Fuck it. I'll up the ante.

$333.
Between the three of us, that comes out to a buck short of a grand for the winner.

the only corny thing i see in here is the stupid pedestal tym places even mid tier competitors on

this guy just wants to play some video games with some players he admires. we don't even have a professional scene, you guys dickride way too hard. why does it bother you if he wants to run at Tom Brady
#Facts.
#SorryNotSorry.

If this happened in MK9, VSM would've been lit as fuck.
If something like this happened in Marvel between three like-minded players, it'd get its own marquee blowup.
This community makes me dizzy.

Our scene has produced a LOT of talent, on-camera and competitive wise.
But as far as the tournament/major narrative, offline or on, it's been Sonic VS The World for about 3 years and change now.
It's like watching the NBA and WANTING to get your hopes up that it'll be someone else's year, but you know it's 90% likely going to come down to LeBronic Fox against whoever happens to come out on top on the other side.
For every new broadcast, new stream, new tournament, new featured event, the production value rises and everything looks and sounds better (ie. the Kombat Cup and Stream.Me), the names barely change at all.

I'll tell you what. 100% Serious talk.
When I do get back online at the end of March, I'm issuing an open challenge/aggressive expansion recruitment call for all of April.
I'm forming my own stable: the Advent Kombat Alliance. Imagine if the FGC and the Suicide Squad had a baby...you get the AKA.
Inspired by the videos' aforementioned deceased love's mother forming an anti-heroin/pro-substance-abuse-awareness non-profit organization (and because Abbie's brother and my daughter are both avid gaming fans and will love what we do/stand for), she's given me the blessing to make it its own branch in fighting game competition...as I am sure I am not the only person in reach of this who's had a life seriously twisted up and fucked out of shape by dope, addiction and everything in between, that does this not just because its what they enjoy, but because it genuinely makes them better than the otherwise fucked out of their head version of themselves they would be. I'm gonna call it AKA Fight Club.
With the ultimate goal being to have a noteworthy cause and clan of kin to represent and carry on my back if and when my two adversaries accept the challenge, ANYONE who wishes to 1. test my might and see if I am indeed a worthy opponent/capable of doing war with Brady and Reo, and/or 2. join AKA Fight Club by taking me or a cohort on in a fight because they believe in what we stand for.
And when April ends and May begins, you will have all the proof you could need that "The Night The Line Was Crossed (Again)" is not only an idea worthy of hype and excitement, but could lead to more creative, inventive means of Kombat/Injustice based chaos even more impressive and insane.

It's an experiment. And I am a scientist.
Let time be the vindication of my efforts.

what are you calling them out for anyway? what did they do wrong?
NOTHING. Absolutely nothing at all. I just really want to fight them.
At NEC 2011, my first tournament ever, Tom Brady (who I was a fan/i guess pseudo semi student of since I co-mained Sub) literally appeared from nowhere and started shout-challenging Noobe to a Sub-Zero VS Cyrax FT5 duel. It was hype as all fucking hype can be. I said, from that point on to myself, one day I was going to stage a battle of epic proportions on a grand stage against him. That's pretty much the black and white of it. It's been one of my driving motivations ever since. "Be ready to destroy Tom Brady." "If we go to this show, we must seek out and do battle with Tom Brady." "Hey, y'know what'd make this sandwich great? Fucking obliterating Tom Brady."
Adding Reo to my hypothetical battle of death came as chance in October when I was still planning to go to NEC. Someone said Tom fucked up his wrist in an accident, so I was all "well, glad he's okay but fuck, there goes my plan," so I started thinking "well, who else is there I could challenge to a spectacular fight to the death that would make sense?" and Reo immediately came to mind. And not even five minutes after I started contemplating that, I found a video on Youtube of Terry Funk's (most recent) retirement speech, one thought started leading to another...and here we are.

If I were to make a spinal cord out of all the top players that drove me the most to remain a competitor and keep pushing forward, the two of them would probably be the third and fourth vertebrae.
 
While I don't think there is anything wrong with REO or Tom giving you some casual games, I don't think they would ever accept this challenge. You don't have any real beef or rivalries with them, so calling them out when they don't know you doesn't mean anything to them or a lot of people. You can't just have a rivalry with them just because you say "hey lets be rivals"; there's no history or anything organic about it. Plus, in terms of street cred, they would have nothing to gain by beating you and everything to lose if they lose the match.
 
I love competition. And no player is above gettin that ass whooped. But this doesn't come off as perseverance. It comes off to me as lazy. You dont want this fight enough fam. If you did, we would see you at tourneys. I recognize your name bc of the posts you have had on TYM. I dont recall ever seeing any footage of you playing in tournament. If you really meant what you said, do what guys like buffalo and tweedy did, show up. Stop trying to make hype and BE hype. Hype isn't something you manufacture in your basement. Its based on things out of your control. there is no effort involved in a call out like this.

The best thing you can do now is ride this wave and show up at a tournament and body people. Then you will get respect. But anybody can make this exact same thread and be incapable of playing MKX. Im not saying you shouldn't call anybody out though. We need more call outs. But you gotta start putting in work. Until then, this call out isn't even worth paying attention too. Prove me wrong and show up at a tourney.

to many people, travelling or making it to a tourney is the dream. This is the internet age we moved past the arcades. Plus aren't TB and Reo like people who play the fuck out of this game? It's not like its asking for much, just "play the guy at the game you guys always play a bunch of random people on anyway". Let's stop putting mid level competitors on some ridiculous pedestal plz

This is partly valid. I haven't been to a major since Summer Jam '15.
Life and crazy shit and being a literal nomad for a while got in the way.
But you just made two of my points for me.
First, anyone CAN make a thread like this and try to do what I'm trying to do, but 1. they aren't, because reasons, because lack of interest, because who knows. There is no appetite in this community, no hunger or drive whatsoever to be better or do better. Too many people are complacent with where they stand, where the scene stands, and have no chutzpah to do anything to forward it, let alone strap a neon sign to his chest that says ICE CLONE IS FINE THE WAY IT IS and go knocking on Brady's door. Anything of that sort. Second, there is no viable way to test someone's merit or lack thereof in a situation like this. How do you know how badly - how really, really, REALLY fucking badly I want this fight, or to be a bigger part of things? or how much work I've put in over the years preparing for crazy shit like this to go down? I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it a hundred more: I would NOT be doing this if I didn't think it was 100,000% worth the fucking effort.

And third, I literally just offered to spend all of April and probably the rest of this year fighting any and everyone within sight of my online tag in order to further validate my/my cause's worthiness. I've already made clear that if there is a particular show in mind either or the both of them want to do this at that I'll plan my shit out and be there. I'm gonna be at every east coast major I can get off work for, hopefully CEO too.
I have all intentions of making this a worthwhile pursuit, for myself and the peanut gallery.
That seems like wanting it pretty bad to me.
And if they ever accept, forget about it. It's fucking over, bro.

Like i said prove me wrong. I like the call out. just giving you the perception. We have seen it before. This thread can help you. But it only helps you if you do good by the claims you made above. If you dont show up to at least 1 tourney or even play in an online tourney, all you have left is a thread. Sorry bud but you cant post anything thats gonna make me say "he wants this". You gotta show it bruh. Good luck though.

That's #Facts, though.
Hold me to it, then. You and everyone else who's like "ehh, doubt it's gonna work...but what if it did?"
And it'll fall to me to keep up this delusional momentum and stick to the plan.
That's motivation right there to be completely off the wall good the rest of the year and beyond.
I'll take it.
And then those who are made believers can join the AKA and we can (steal the Krabby Patty Formula and) conquer the world.

Yep. And got bodied on stream by the mighty Killtron.
That was probably my first offline MK sitdown since Summer Jam '15.
I knew I was gonna get bagged all night, but I didn't care.
I can't be a New York guy and not go out to rep my city and clan. It was a blast.

(Note to self: NEVER play Tremor against Jax again, ever. Even if there's a fire.)

Also: hype as fuck music bump to pump *CLAP* you up.

Because in about an hour and a half, I'm cutting together the next piece of this puzzle.

If you think shit is weird now...you don't know me very well.

Enjoy.

Tom dropped this game awhile ago and reo barely plays. They both dont get on tyn anymore anyway so the whole challenge is on deaf ears.

To the poster, why not challenge people who still actually actively play this game. Tom hasn't played in like 2 months and wont be playing, Reo you might catch online for casual but not offline for mkx.

Might as well challenge toxin or dragon or scar or something if you want a response. Your timing for the challenge is way off, most people are taking a break and waiting for inj2.
