[REO]

Hey guys, just a project I'm running to see who the top 5 players to inspire you picking up a character were.


Here are mine:

1.) Scorpion - HOOD_FRESH
2.) Sonya - CURBOLICIOUS
3.) Ermac- MKF30
4.) Liu Kang - mk_beast

1. Sub Zero-Tom Brady
2. Johnny Cage-Tom Brady
3. Ermac-Floe
4. Kabal-REO
5. Shang Tsung-Detroit Balln

 

[KingHippo]

Kabal-Reo
Liu Kang-Reo
Stryker-Reo
Sonya-Reo
Shang Tsung-Reo

It's always fun to see how shitty he plays by diverting all his attention to non mains in the hopes of taking attention away from his real main, all the while starting to suck.

i picked up my characters purely cause i like them. If anything i've stop using my main because of top players. After i watched REO and Eric warda play I came to the conclusion my kabal would never be half as good. i didn't drop kabal but he is certainly not my main anymore

 

[PPJ]

sindel - jedirobb
kitana - cookie
raiden - xmaddogx

skarlet - detroitballin
sub zero - tom brady

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

That's why I stopped playing him, too.
I tried like hell at the beginning of the game.
Once I saw what the top guys were doing with Kabal, I gave up.
I won't play a character unless I'm 100% sure I can flex him to the best of his abilities.
No way I'll ever be able to move my fingers that fast.

 

[GhosT]

Reptile: THTB, Sabin, And of course ChrisG
Ermac- Li Joe, Floe
Cyrax- Trophy Club
Sektor- Ketchup

OTher characters I wanted to pick up but ended up scrapping are.

Mileena- REO's performance at evo, And when he switched to cyrax at the end my hype meter went nuclear. Nothing against PL but i was praying to see cyrax get a major. the biggest major.

Sub Zero- Brady

Kabal- Michaelangelo

Im sure I'm forgetting some, also the players i chose to give as example are strictly based on being the first I had seen excel with that given character. For example trophy clubs cyrax. I first saw him on the PDP live stream and knew i would be running cyrax. Thought id throw that out .

 

[McNasty]

 

[Wemfs]

I only have 4.

Sub Zero - Tom Brady, Shoryuken
Noob Saibot - FGA Mono, Flawedzilla, Boot Nocka
Nightwolf - Lordofthefly
Reptile - Chris G

I can watch any of these guys play all day. It's like I learn something new every time I witness the character in their hands.

 

[PND_Mustard]

Cyrax - power ranger
sektor - power ranger
sub zero - power ranger
scorpion - power ranger
johnny cage - van damme

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

Now I'm half-tempted to start a Top 5 Power Rangers thread, but there weren't enough useful ones.

White Ranger Tommy would win.

 

[NariTuba]

cyrax - character loyalty
cage - REO on vsm (and Phil 9.95's commentary over it)

 

[Sage Leviathan]

Noob Saibot - No one, been using him since release ^-^
Ermac - ^
Subbzy - ^
Scorpion- Erebis
Mileena- Oh Hai Im Bryan
Smoke- Aris, various unnamed Smoke mains online
Kung Lao- Forever King, S Tier whores online

 

[charlieonline]

1. Sub Zero - Tom Brady
2. Reptile - THTB
3. Sektor - Ketchup, Sektroll
4. Kabal - REO
5. Baraka - Hearing rumors of some Cuban guy being really good and that Baraka is viable. This was before Baraka buffs.

Sonya is BULL. why do you tell everyone you pick her up because nobody used her. the first time you played my sonya ur johnny cage shitted in his pants... STOP saying you used her because nobody in europe used her because the next time i played you after showing you my sonya, all of the sudden you mained her.
