vVv REO Wins Mortal Kombat 9 at Road to Evo 2012 Event, Toryuken!

[CD jr]

Kevo won one tournament with kabal. Only guy besides reo. I think it'll be a long time before anyone else gets to reo s level with kabal. Just like cdjrs jax. Lots of em out there only him and tyrant winning tourneys. It all comes down to the players. Enough with the nerf chatter. The game has been out for a year. Save that shit for the next one. Hopefully spring 2013?

see the difference is that jax is not even top 5 but kabal is the BEST in the game.he needs a nerf.if it wasnt for me REO will win every major and you know this

congrats to reo,hands down the best kabal player and congrats to my brother for taking second place.now i have this to say,its true that it takes a lot of skills and execution to play kabal but just because of that he shouldnt be so broken and completely safe on everything he does and have safe 50/50s of any string or normals.that overhead and saw should be at least -16.im not taking credit away from reo at all like i said he is the only that can do this for now.other kabal players are gonna start doing the same shit in time its just that reo is better than 90% of the community and thats why he is so good with kabal but other kabal players are gonna get there or at least close.i mean look at detroit he doenst main kabal or seconds him and he almost beat reo at mlg lol aint that some shit. reo better hope that maxter doenst pick up kabal or CD because they are getting mad and tired of losing to the same bull shit at every tourney.i still love you reo and got mad respect for you but everytime you beat my brothers with kabal im sorry i cant lie but i do lose a little of respect for you just because of the character that you play.one more thing if reo beats me at two majors in a row im gonna drop jax and main kabal 100% idgaf im gonna expose kabal until he gets nerfed

Agreed. Having 50/50 safe mixups is kinda fucked up imo, plus he is one of the best zoners in the game with one of the best rushdown in the game. Kabal isnt REO. REO is Kabal and he deserves major props for that imo. Jr plz. Character loyalty remember ? You said it. Keep your word.

i am giving reo major props he deserves it dude even if he beat my brother.he is the only one winning major with kabal but that is going to change you are going to see more kabals winning and placing high everyone is getting better everyday bro.just because reo is the only winning with kabal doesnt change the fact that kabal is broken.my situation is different if people say i win only becuase of jax idc cause i know jax is balance and is not even top 5

Maybe we will see more Kabal players in REO's level maybe we wont. The point is that Kabal, although he is broken, can be dealt with. There are also other characters in the game that are very good, to the point of being broken, Smoke, Cyrax, some even say Kenshi too. Patience is virtue thats what i believe. Dont let one or two tournaments cloud your judgement imo. MU's change everyday in this game from what i ve seen. Bandwagons come and go all the time. Tbh with you i dont really think that we will see any other Kabal in REO's level simply because his experience in this character and the ways he has to deal with Kabal's MU's is unrivaled atm and it probably continue to be in the future too. Players make characters, not the opposite. Yeah Kabal players will continue to get better but that also means the players in general will continue to get better with their respective characters also. Jax is not a top 5 material for sure but that doesnt mean that he cant destroy everyone if he is played correctly and you have proven that many times before, and that goes for many characters in the game. My point is: stick to your character and you ll find a way to counter any bad MU's he has and turn them in your favor or at least increase your chances of winning them.

congrats to reo,hands down the best kabal player and congrats to my brother for taking second place.now i have this to say,its true that it takes a lot of skills and execution to play kabal but just because of that he shouldnt be so broken and completely safe on everything he does and have safe 50/50s of any string or normals.that overhead and saw should be at least -16.im not taking credit away from reo at all like i said he is the only that can do this for now.other kabal players are gonna start doing the same shit in time its just that reo is better than 90% of the community and thats why he is so good with kabal but other kabal players are gonna get there or at least close.i mean look at detroit he doenst main kabal or seconds him and he almost beat reo at mlg lol aint that some shit. reo better hope that maxter doenst pick up kabal or CD because they are getting mad and tired of losing to the same bull shit at every tourney.i still love you reo and got mad respect for you but everytime you beat my brothers with kabal im sorry i cant lie but i do lose a little of respect for you just because of the character that you play.one more thing if reo beats me at two majors in a row im gonna drop jax and main kabal 100% idgaf im gonna expose kabal until he gets nerfed

I like that you have come out and said about how Ridiculous Kabal is when played at his highest potential, he is incredibly hard to beat consecutively.

We (the UK /EU players) are getting allot of shit from USA players about how we apparently don't know how to deal with a Kabal at high level, when even the USA players have an out spoken problem with it and are getting blown up and babied by it at every tournament, although you have had some great success over it.

With that being said, we will fight every Kabal that comes at us with all the experiance and knowledge we have, and if we lose, it will be different in the kommunity's eyes, there will be no rest bite for us, we will not be afforded the same sympathy that the USA players will be given, no one will say Kabal is bullshit then, we will be ''exposed'' instead.

USA players can lose to high level Kabal's all the time, and no one will say shit, but you know what? If we lose, we will get torn apart by the kommunity, and you know it.

So I am glad you have come out and expressed your thoughts on Kabal when exploited to the highest of his ability.

There is no shame in losing to an excellent Kabal, absolutely none.

I played you online with my sub and I didn't level up. lol

Well you prolly didnt talk to me, i can help you get better and tell u what ur doing wrong

im with you bro dont worry.and for those who say oh only reo wins with kabal i got this for you.ae seth and viper are the best and only poongko and wolfkrone win with them and STILL the capcom community cries for nerfs.just because 1 or 2 people are winning with a character doesnt mean the characters should stay op and not get nerfed.

Hello? michaelangelo?

Might i add Mike came from the WC and won an EC tourney. just saying.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

So I play you online all the time. Will i win UFGT8 and beat jr and reo?!
PLEASE SAY YES

Also, fuck Kabalx2

Maybe Jr, the fact that Sektor has one of the lowest hitboxes will hurt jax in that MU. But on the other hand Jr does play his brother maxter who uses sektor. It could go either way man. REO idk, kabal is stupid and its hard as shit to fight him. Idk how I beat him using KL maybe its just the MU exp I have that REO is lacking but in that specific MU but REO will prolly be the hardest at that tournament.

I have been routing for Buffs and Nerfs for along time, on almost the whole cast, but apparantly, it's not cool to do that, if you do, your a cryer who can't deal with it, apparently.

This game still need's balanced with a ton of stuff, it is no where near finished. Bottom line.

Even when a guy like you, who has beaten Reo on multiple occasions comes out and says how bullshit something is, then that is really saying something.

You will always be REOs criptonite I do hate Kabal myself for being so broken even tho my Kitana does very well vs Kabals hes still the hardest char to beat along whit Kenshi, and from what I heard besides Jax Skarlet also beats Kabal, you shure they patching the game again? I really hope they do but... NRS is so unpredictable. U will win EVO anyways

 

[Tokiwartoothxdk]

xSmoke made it this far because he plays me on ps3, shoutouts to CURBOLICOUS. I should create my own website for helping kids get good at MK. Who wants lessons next?

ill gladly take them

 

[sub_on_dubs]

Well you prolly didnt talk to me, i can help you get better and tell u what ur doing wrong

I sent you a message saying I didn't believe it was you then you said well I use cage and I babied you. lol I did take a round from you so I gotta start somewhere. Your footsies are sick dude. I was scared to whiff anything.

 

[xSMoKEx]

Just for clarification, the glitch was unintentional. If you re-watch the stream i stopped for a second because even i was confused; and you can ask REO himself, i apologised as it was an accident.

Thanks everyone for the truly amazing experience.

I saw there was like a pause, were you waiting for it to wear off or something? What did REO tell you when it happened?

Jr didn't you say there's Kabal tech that you and your bros know that make Kabal even more broken that you're not telling REO on purpose? Can't wait to see you bust out Kabal and expose that.

Didnt you also find broken shit with Jax that makes normals 100% whiff too.

 

[SwiftTomHanks]

Grats everyone involved. This was so far the best MK stream to date imo; whoever was in charge of this deserves tons of credit. I'm really bummed out I couldn't make it but with a small budget these far away tournaments are just going to have to be viewed. Aside from all the shout outs to reo, maxter, and xsmokex (lame name btw lol) - big shout out to @Neo Russuel for running a great tournament AND making top 8. People like him are the most valuable people in the community.

 

[DownfouralitY]

Awesome stuff to everyone, and well done my Kabal brethren!

 

[Temjiin]

I can't make excuses for someone else, but I just played Maxter about half an hour ago and he told me he took a vitamin pill just before the grand finals which left him disorientated. He seemed a little out of it when I played him too. It would explain why he went from putting Reo in losers to losing 6-0. Congrats to Reo regardless, played great.
