Geovanny "Vany" Admits: " We Angolans wrongly play UMK3/MKT"

[Eddy Wang]

An Angolan top tier who as also one of the most wanted back on the time is being playing MK9 with us and we went on a discussion about MKT and UMk3
I'm just translating his own words on the meeting we had on NATGIL this last sunday

Vany:" On that time MK was special, though we fough with glitch advantages and so on, i browsed the matches from US and Brazil, and i can see, they're indeed very good, being able to fight UMk3/MKT without using any code and still be able to damage the opponent correctly was very entretaining.
Today i can really admit we Angolans we're playing MKT wrongly, me and Adam on that time shouldn't allow the usage of Unlimited Run as a mandatory rule, now everyone still plays like this and there is nothing we can change about it, though now i'm wondering how the top ten would be without the 466-466 code"

Vany:" US is definitely the best country playing any Mortal Kombat, and in MKT and UMK3 Brazil is next, i will not count ourselves because we played this game with unlimited run, the circumstances and tier list changes with it, Nighwolf in Angola is top tier due his rushdown power, with unlimited run he becomes a bad matchup for Kabal, which is a different set on a no codes matchup"

Wang: "About this MK, how do you see ourselves in the tier list?"
Vany" US is the first their competitive scene is bigger and have players from almost any part of the country, there are on that period we called "China" then i dunno, UK and the others are too close, and we're not that far from the competitive level as well, its a matter of go there and see by yourself what you will be able to do there"

Venezuela has probably the best classic MK players, not the US...no offense to our players at all.

I just wish we had the chance to play one another. I think USA vs Venezuela would be awesome and not the blow out people think.

 

[Eddy Wang]

Argentina and Spanish and chilen players are also good

 

[psycho4rent]

Spanish? i have never saw any videos with some matches played by spanish players.

The best umk3/mkt player are imho venezuelans, chileans, brazilians ans few guys from colombia (no, ninjagrinder, you are not, you suck )

in my opinion playing only with unlimited run is not wrong, but i can say it is kind of inappropriate. You should have learn to play it normally without any cheats, becasue i think it is pointless.

LBSH Middle/South America run UMK3/MKT

 

[REO]

I agree with USA scene being kind of ass in 2D MK, just being honest. Here in the USA we have a ton of players who bitch non-stop about Kabal, and cry about glitch jabs 24/7. Same thing with MK:2. Everyone and their mother cries about Mileena, and other irrelevant shit. It's pathetic.

However, we're complete opposite in the 3D model MK games. We play those games with no mercy and abuse the craziest shit, people would think we're insane.


Juggs, you're way too over confident. It would be embarrassing.

 

[Juggs]

Juggs, you're way too over confident. It would be embarrassing.

Yup, saying we wouldn't get blown out is super over confident.

 

[REO]

I guess you're more naive than I thought. Please give me a team of USA players that would not get wrecked by the MKK team in present time. I bet half of the players you're going to name are probably rusty as shit and don't even play anymore.

Present time, like right this instant? Dude no one plays anymore, we'd need like a month practice.

A month is not enough lol.
I got bodied by some ermac even after i sharp my skills for a month

We all can play without the code too, its just too slow, and there is a rule that says" If you miss the code, you hand the controller to the next player in the KOTH"
Which is pointless to miss it

A month playing good players would be enough for me. Actually a week would do it if we all were playing each other everyday offline.

The point is the top 5 players in the USA wouldn't get "embarrassed" by anyone. I'm not about to say we wouldn't lose, but no one is going to rape us like that, there's just no way.

Dude, are you seriously telling me all it takes is one month to get back in full shape and to be able to compete with those guys? And who would this dream team be if you had to pick?

There is no argue with that lol.
The frame traps of the glitch jab is really annoying, and i remember of losing to other players in the past not because i wasn't skillfully, but my speed to escape frame traps and counter pressure get out of block quick as possible, measure distance to use safe teleports and such was lacking, some of them even recognized this and were telling me the reasons i was losing.

A month is plenty of time. It's UMK3, it's not like it takes that long to get back into.

A UMK3 USA Dream team? If everyone played for a solid month everyday with one another offline, I would choose from: Arion, Marv, CD, Bass, DC, Shaney, Juggs, REO, AC, Shock.

 

[NinjaGrinder]

UMK3 players from Chile are VERY strong. The thing in Venezuela is that only 2 players could "rape" someone from USA. You guys know I'm talking about Hanzo & RZP, but even RZP is rusty as hell, let's say he would need that "month" to get back in full shape. The rest of Venezuela players are not as strong as Hanzo and RZP, in my opinion AND experience, since I played plenty of casual and tournament matches with 2 of the best players there (Viktor & Humberto) and all the matches were pretty damn close. I lost to Viktor in our ft10 (10-9) and he knocked me out of the tournament (3-1) but I knocked Humberto out (2-1 I think) and beat him in our ft10 10-7. And believe me, I'm not saying this lightly: I know I'm just overall at this game. So, the latin american dream team could not just be players from Venezuela. At least 2 players from Chile should be taken in account.

And I don't know how you guys are going to take this, but I'll say it anyways: Marv and CD should be on latin team... specially Marv. Hell, I think he would even WANT to be on latin team.

 

[AC1984]

Count me out, the last time I played against a top player, I felt like a retard...
Manuel is right, Chile,Colombia and Argentina have amazing players who would go toe to toe with Venezuela.

 

[umk_p1]

my vote goes to Latin america, but u can't count out Europe... and probably any other country due to many unknown "underground" players, they do exist!

 

[AC1984]

Btw,is this a typical Kabal bnb in Angola?

Thats just an example.... Imagine the rest of the cast...

 

[psycho4rent]

lol

LOL no, there is no creativity in this combo, and this is basically cheating hahaha

Its exactly like this:

The rule is not exceeding 2 aaHP/aaLP in a row, as long as you keep creative, and you don't do infinities its fine

 

[NinjaGrinder]

Your combos and his combo are virtually the same. You're still cheating, you're just not doing it endlessly LOL

 

[AC1984]

Dude... "not exceeding 2 lp/hp." Sorry, but this is ludicrous...The combo that I made wasn't suppose to be creative...its supposed to cause damage and it does(I made id for 60 seconds. If ded_ plays around with the whole concept, I know that every character will have 100% juggles)...The code is there...You might as well take complete advantage of it...Go big or go home...

 

[Juggs]

.And I don't know how you guys are going to take this, but I'll say it anyways: Marv and CD should be on latin team... specially Marv. Hell, I think he would even WANT to be on latin team.

Wait a minute, the 2 best USA players don't get to be on the USA team? Seems legit...
