" Bros before Hoes"
TOP 5 IMO

1. Kabal
2. Cyrax
3. Kenshi
4. Sonya
5. Lao

Next 5
6. Freddy
7. Smoke
8. Reptile
9. Cage
10. Jax
When I used to say Cyrax was top 5 people branded me as some random keyboard warrior talking $hit. Oh "damage is not everything", "He has too many bad matchups" bla bla bla. LBSH is Sheeva remains the way she is and has Cyrax damage output she would be top 10.

KL worse matchup may be the mirror match (as well as sz) because he has spin and low hitbox. I would say 8-2.

Anyway, it seems that Cyrax is around top 3, as I expected. A char with 90% combo can't be top +5.

Anyway, when I hear every pros, it looks like the tier list > skill. And I'm agree with that. Need another patch to nerf kabal, KL and Cyrax so I can see something else in tournament.

Actually aside from saying Quan beats PL (and overreacting to how some match-ups are bad for KL), he's not saying anything too controversial or ridiculous here. And he's not actually putting CD Jr on blast. He just said that Jr overestimated what he can do with Lao I guess.

USA downplays smoke and no one represents him on a consistent level and basis at highest levels

there are only 2 who do so: Wafflez and xsmokex and both are very young and rarely get to travel. Gross is an extremely high level smoke on the level of these 2 who i had more trouble with compared to these 2

Remember when Detroit and CD JR mained smoke? He was top 5 back then but since now they dont use him people act like he doesnt exist in the game

He's wasted potential sitting on the character select screen
Pig spitting real.

another excuse from PL's salty ass" he did get me, but i chose a different char" boy shut up with all that, just got that ass bodied haha.
I think he meant that in context of KL's match-ups. Brady was asking him about KL's bad match-ups, and brought up Liu Kang, which is why PL said he switched to another character. It wasn't so much an excuse as it was putting things in perspective in terms of match-ups (as in he didn't say you beat him because he picked a different character). In fact, on twitter he said you out-played him (which he almost never says lol). Don't be so sensitive man. You 3-0'd him, there are no room for excuses.

I'm not going to lie, I was pretty shocked Gross never used sektor against PL at MLG.

It does sorta scream "I didn't want him to prove it was just a lack of matchup knowledge." He should have been confident enough with Sektor. It's not like his sektor is ass, it's capable.

Maaan, I really feel that the alliance Gross picked eventually bite him back in his ass.
Gross played the CD brothers extensively exclusively for his whole preparation...thinking they were helping him warm up with matchups....but instead he got downloaded by them and he had to face them in tournament without his element of surprise (as he got downloaded and his download of them was not complete).

If only he didn't expose himself to the CDbrothers beforehand or didn't face them in tournament. Then we would have seen what Gross was really about.

I guess Gross learned a lesson: there are no alliances in MK. Sandbag in casuals before tournaments
You have to practice with someone, and it's preferable if they're high level players.

Look at the Terry brothers, they had to face each other early in tournament. The same thing happened with 16 Bit and Han. And then 16 Bit played Dizzy, his roommate and training partner.

This was not exclusive to Gross.

Were their matches streamed by any chance?
 
calm down Maloc!! why are you trying to start drama up. Just 2 juan speen!!!
Pl really lacks a scene, he has a point, kung lao doesnt destroy the whole cast like everyone says. imo he is 4-7. and thats still really good. kabal, kenshi, cyrax are better than him imo. kung lao ties with cage and sonya

If you play Kenshi, you're obviously going to think Kitana is not that great of a character. I think she was A+ tier in the lastest tier list so that would more than likely make her top ten. Just saying.

This is ridiculous. Don't create some bullshit excuse for him.
 
If PL came out to vegas for a weekend you would go hella good because we play basically the whole cast here. I think you should pick up sub for cage if you really dont like cage that much. I think sub has it pretty bad vs low hit box characters. so he has to be lame and defensive. I think you should just be less aggressive vs low hitbox characters. I do it with cyrax I think you can do it with kl pl.
I love this guy Denzell, full of some much maturity. Tell MIT to take it easy, he needs to learn from his big bro. I think you are one of the best out there for playing lots of characters on a high level. All PL needs to do has been said by Denzell...

Jr overrates his ability. I'm not saying he's not a good player - he is most likely top 3 but goes overboard when talking about other people's characters. First he set out to show the world how easy it was to play and win with Kabal - he got bodied by PL in the final - after which he set out to show the world Lao was the best and he failed some more. Jr should just accept that REO and PL have what they have and nobody can take it away from them, especially not him (Jr).

Cage only loses to 4 characters: kabal, kenshi, freddy en subzero, the rest of the cast he either destroys or goes even with. Half of the top players have sonya above kung lao right now. if kung lao is that godlike why dont you play him? its because you dont know what youre talking about.
I don't think Cage loses to Sub Zero. I think if the match is played like it is supposed to be it can be a 5-5. Sub definitely has the advantage in the corner though.

that is an arguable matchup, but gives even more reason to say cage is next to kung lao and sonya. how can a character that only loses 3/4 matchup and destroys the rest of the cast or at least goes even not top5 or near top 5? kenshi loses to kung lao, kabal, maybe cyrax, no on argues kenshi is not top 5.

I have never argued against Cage being an awesome character. I don't think he has all the tools to be in the top 5, but he is probably just outside of it, and some of the tools he does have give him a huge comeback factor.
