It is weird that Sub Zero has virtually no competitive representation afaik. Yet gets no love from the balance patches. Not that I'm complaining, his design just sucks. My guess is a more involved rework is due.

 

+ Sikander
(Aggressive children won't get shit - so entertaining tho )

they want noob bi-han to shine now, later sub gets his treatment, I believe
(I mean lets be real, his iceball needs to be faster (his most iconic move feels so useless on high level meta, NRS why? ...) and his meter ice clone versions are a mess as a tool, feels beta.)

Its extra weird now that we have cyrax, who basically has a better ice ball

 

At this point I'm really starting to believe NRS doesn't want to buff Sub-Zero just to keep annoying Tom Brady

Sometimes you just never know. After all NRS did name the garbage launch-version variation of MK9 style Kenshi in MKX "Balanced" (lolz). No one can tell me some lingering salt wasn't attached to that.

 

Sub-Zero is heavily downplayed, paired with the right Kameo - like Khameleon - he's easily in the top 10 conversation. He's also very strong with Sonya, among others.

If it makes you feel better, I watch and have enjoyed your content for years. I find most of what you say to represent my feelings towards this game, and still hold you as the best sub-zero of all time in my heart.

Keep your head up, Tom. And fight me in this game if you ever decide to play again.

No, but you've threatened to "quit" and come back since 2011. Not everyone here remembers the many times you "quit" and uninstalled MKX, only to continue playing, making content, engaging in discourse around the game.

When you develop such a pattern, you burn up good will you've earned.

Get off his dick, dude.

 

The rest of this is just cope.

The only cope that I see is from people like you and Crimson who make excuses about the fact that Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 have been beating Mortal Kombat 1 by as much as ten times the participants in offline tournaments.

While Street Fighter has historically had more participants than Mortal Kombat, fighting games like Tekken and Guilty Gear have not. In fact, Mortal Kombat X had more participants in its second year at EVO (713) than Tekken 7 had its first year at EVO (549).

At this year's EVO, Mortal Kombat 1 was beat by niche anime fighters and a 25-year-old Street Fighter game.

All people like me are saying is that Mortal Kombat deserves a lot better. The community should have higher expectations for WB as well as NRS. I want Mortal Kombat to be a success commercially and in tournaments.

 

Get off his dick, dude.

Don't show respect to founders of this community? Grow the fuck up.

You have this weird, straw man version of me in your head that doesn't exist. Tell me, is Crimson Shadow in the room with us right now?

All I've said is that compared to stuff like Street Fighter, the NRS scene has always been niche, which is true.

 

"You're still the best Sub Zero in my heart."

GULK! GULK! GULK! HAUK TUA!

So, do you try to sound like an insecure angsty 14 year old with no friends or personality, or is that something you can't help? These are not good jokes, you're not making anyone mad, it's pretty pathetic, actually.

This type of banter is comically juvenile, uncreative, and makes me think you weigh 400lbs and live with your mom or are angry at the world for some reason, are you out irl? If not, this joke may even be a bit homophobic. But you got me, I guess.

Please, grow up and shut the fuck up.

Cry more.

I agree, but Mortal Kombat 1 was beat by many other fighting games not named Street Fighter at this year's EVO.

Besides, I cannot tolerate Mortal Kombat 1 being beaten by Street Fighter 3rd Strike.

If UMK:3 had more participants than Street Fighter 6 at any major fighting game tournament, you would most certainly observe massive changes by Capcom (and arguably at Capcom).

The point is that people like me are not coping. The WB and NRS apologists are.

So from my perspective, 3rd Strike had the turnout it did partially due to everyone's nostalgic love for the game, the fact that it was available in areas where MK isn't, and that people still play it to this day. 3rd Strike has a legacy player base that has been consistent and active for decades.

Can you think of any classic MK game that people still play to this day? I can only think of UMK3, which is significantly more niche then Street Fighter. It also doesn't help that games like MK9 are more or less unplayable these days.

These are definitely circumstances which affected 3rd Strike's turn out.

Also, it's important to note that Capcom is its own publisher, NRS isn't. Publisher involvement is huge in how games turn out.

I never “threatened” to quit. I’m not delusional so i know full well no one cares and life goes on just fine either way. I played mk9, igau, and mkx and never “threatened” to quit. In EARLY mkx I stopped playing because the net code was horrible and said id play again if it improved which it did. The uninstalls in mkx were a troll back at my awful stream chat who would encourage ppl to play 1 match and leave then say “how many games do you need? You got 1 match”. So eventually when they’d ask “how many games do you need?” Id tell them “none” and uninstall. Never “threatened” to quit.

originally i was not going to play Khaos Reigns after seeing the patch notes but changed my mind snd decided to at least try it.

Revise history all you want, that’s all it is.. revisionist history

But it isn't. You just said you constantly uninstalled. Additionally, you'd have your Diablo only streams where you said you'd never play the game again, yadda yadda.

You're just trying to paint over your very toxic history.

And as you said, it's a video game. No one actually cares what you do, Bill.

Never play again unless they fix the netcode. Easy to forget that part

My issue with this is that I believe something has gone terribly wrong when it comes to competitive MK between MKX/MK11/MK1. MKX actually had solid numbers and was beating Tekken at events, and now Tekken has literally 8-10x the amount of entrants at events. Something went wrong here.

SF6 and Tekken scoring more numbers isn't that big of a deal to me because they are great games with loyal fans in a general sense, it's having less participation than games like GranBlue and UNIST that bothers me the most. I mean, I gotta assume UNISYS was outsold like a bazillion to 1 by MK1 and a lot of people never even heard of or seen this game and it had more Evo entrants. That's the type of stuff that's unacceptable to me. I actually do think the game is a LOT better now than the launch version, but something is happening that's stunting the numbers. I dunno if community needs to rise up and get people involved better, top dogs need to add more money to competition, NRS overhaul the game, etc, I don't really know what, but something went wrong to be what I consider a "Big 3" of FGs getting less numbers than a game half the people here would have to Google to know what UNISYS even stood for.

Also, I think it's important to note that MK1 doesn't have the kind of prize pools MKX and Injustice 2 did, nor do they have the kind of prize pools SF6 and Tekken do.

I'd wager if there was more money, there'd be more entrants but this is a very divisive game, there's no denying that.
