Hey guys! Did you miss me?!

[Phoenix90]

We need to quit being babies. Ppl that trash the game (especially someone go has large audience in the fg scene ) do nothing but hurt the scene.

Mk did not die thanks to the hard work of the community. We did it without his help. So for me not to be happy about him returning and making a thread if we miss him is understandable.

Him saying mk9 does not deserve the MLG attention we got (even though our community earned it with its support )

Sometimes we just need to stop trying to be the better person and call ppl out on bullshit.

We're is my thanks and own thread about my support ? Attending numerous majors outside of my state. Starting a stream for mk9 and streaming mk9 tournaments in my local area for everyone viewing pressure. As well as bringing the Houston crew together. Opening my place for casuals and streaming. As well as sponsoring blake to go to tournaments in order to support the scene?

Says "we need to quit being babies" yet antagonizes someone who came back to the boards to talk about INJUSTICE (not MK9)...cool....that makes sense

I just don't get what the big deal is, who cares if he trashed MK9, he's talking about Injustice now. You guys get so upset when people trash MK9, as long as you keep going to tournaments for it who cares who trashes it? UMVC3 is one of the worst games ever and everyone knows that and plenty of people trash it, you think they care? They're still having tournaments for it and there's still MK9 tournaments with good turnouts.

I'll say this again because clearly it's going over people's heads but Joe is here to talk Injustice, his views on MK9 shouldn't even be a problem

 

[Cat]

All I said is I agree with Cat.

Cat did not go overboard. He just pointed out the truth. LI Joe is trotted out as this legend of the MK scene who we should respect. It's good to remind everyone of who really supported our game the past 2 years.

This.

Says he respects the Mk community for its hard work on keeping mk9 alive. Yet said our game did not deserve the MLG events even though the Mk community worked hard and I believe earned it.

 

[Gimmick]

Are we forgetting that lijoe is here for Injustice not MK?

 

[THTB]

Why is THTB catching so much feels?

Here's why.

Shit like this is what irritates me about some of the players here.

And 16 Bit, whoever said he didn't? Because he didn't like MK9 and didn't think the game was really that deserving of MLG status (Real talk, he's right...the COMMUNITY deserved it, not the game. Not with how problematic MK9 can be)? You're saying this like LI Joe doesn't give MK ANY sort of love, through words or actions.

This isn't truth. It's trying to start shit because that's what the residents of Hollywood do.

 

[da truff]

SMH at all this. how is lijoe a "legend"of mk? was he the best player ever at mk9? i dont remember that not once. he bashed our game at times and good stuff to cat and 16bit defending this community. we need guys like you with actual back bones

 

[16 Bit]

Here's why.

MK9 is MK. It's the priority. I'm sorry I don't look past MK9 bashing if you played UMK3 back in the day.

I mean, seriously, this was one of the Capcom guys saying MK was dead after EVO 2011. We mock that mentality all the time and are now supposed to be in awe he's here to grace our presence. Get out of here.

 

[TomlulsBrady]

Don't forget the essay that sweet johnny cage wrote up about where our community stands within the FGC right before the last ECT.

 

[ShanxterX]

one thing is for sure

lot of dickriders around here

 

[LEGEND]

People aren't aloud to be real for one second without being called Hollywood

 

[STORMS]

thisisiloveu is coming back to play Injustice. Can we welcome him back FOR Injustice instead of stirring shit of the past?

BTW, Joe said NOTHING about MK9 in this thread until Cat...

Didn't he trash mk9 after he stopped playing? Just saying

Does this matter? He left us alone through MK9. He didn't stick around like a wart (like Digimon) and bitch and moan about shit.

Joe left and left us alone and he is returning for Injustice.

And yes, he is a legend in Mortal Kombat. He's particularly a legend in UMK3... the game that essentially kept the shred of Mortal Kombat alive in tournaments until MK9. When MK9 began there were no top MK players like we have now for MK9.

GAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!

I SAID MK9 WAS DEAD BEFORE AS WELL. Newsflash!

Wanna chastise me for it, since I'm, ya know, not exactly a total unknown around this community? Come on, shit on me for it. Do it.

And again, as much as he bashed MK9 for the game it is, doesn't mean he's unsupportive of the community as a whole. It's not like he's let his personal issues with the game come into play when it comes to, you know, supporting his game. He could've just easily excluded the game from ECT and royally pissed off a lot of people, but you know what? He didn't.

I'm sorry, but the way you guys are acting about him makes you guys look worse than he does. This is the type of shit no one needs. Idc about his dislike for MK9...different strokes for different folks. Can I blame him for saying the game wasn't MLG worthy? Not really, when you consider how busted MK9 actually is. Does that mean he deserves to be totally antagonized because people want to be Hollywood about how he feels about one particular game.

And for your information, no, MK9 is not MK in a nutshell, because everything that's happened because of MK9 might not have happened if those involved in getting people hype for MK in general before the game even was announced never put their energy into the franchise. That means no real reason for some of you guys to act as egotistical as some of you guys do. Without the work a number of people put into getting the MK community to where it is today (Yes, that includes LI Joe), MK9 at MLG would have likely never even happened. So continue to shit on someone who is indirectly a reason why a lot of us are sitting here today on this forum with this many people, just because his opinion about your favorite game isn't what you want to hear and he was vocal about it.

 

[G4S Killin Natzees]

Shit, THTB is on fire right now!

 

[KingHippo]

ITT I've learned:

1. LI Joe has come back

2. The term 'Hollywood' has ceased to mean anything

i think you are confusing the words of what is being said, they are not "shitting" on him, they are calling out his BS about what he said. if you want an example of someone shitting on some one else just ask and i can do that look we all need to calm down, you disagree about the questions, you are playing the role of the forgiver/it really didn't matter what he thought about the game. but can i ask you how much you like this game? when was your last tournament? now am not saying you don't support the game, but look at who is talking, cat and 16 bit. two of the most supportive people of this game, they love this game, and for some one to bash their beloved game, call it not mlg worthy, is like a big fuck you to them. but you don't realize it because where you stand the shadow looks different.

personally i don't give two shits, "am worry 'bout me, give a fuck about you nigga" LOL :16Bit

Yeah, I could chastise you for it. You were saying MK was dead after Dallas and how Toasty Boost was the only thing keeping it alive. That was lame. However it doesn't make sense to chastise you for this now because you're not making this grand return as a MK OG we're supposed to welcome. Also that was one thing in a period of 2 years supporting the game.

I don't understand why we're supposed to appreciate and give props to a TO for NOT dropping a game because they don't like it. Wow he allowed us to play our game at ECT. Is he not merciful!

Whatever LI Joe has done in the past was colored by his attitude about MK9 over the past two years. You can look past that, others cannot. Stop freaking out because some of us that love MK9 are calling him on that and not trusting him to support this game.

BTW this is another example of TYM mods freaking out and making minor drama an even bigger deal than it is.

I'm done with this thread, because it's absolutely ridiculous how some of our members can be.

What further is there to discuss? Nothing, really.

did you read my post? maybe you will realize one day what passion is for a game, hopefully.

 

[16 Bit]

If Joe has done so much for the community then it needs to be better explained. I follow this scene super close and still have no idea what he's done besides blow up MK9 and play UMK3 back in the day. Neither impress me. You can't expect us to care about a guy if all we ever see is negative talk of our game and screaming to us demanding we respect him doesn't help.

 

[Juggs]

However it doesn't make sense to chastise you for this now because you're not making this grand return as a MK OG we're supposed to welcome.

You don't have to welcome him with open arms, of course not.

BTW this is another example of TYM mods freaking out and making minor drama an even bigger deal than it is.

Why you generalizing bro? This isn't TYM mods freaking out, this is THTB responding with the same passion as you guys are. But since he's not of the same opinion, he's the one "freaking out"? That's a ridiculous double standard.

All I said is I agree with Cat.

Have you ever been to East Coast Throwdown? Or any of the NE events? I mean, if you'd like to talk about supporting MK, none of you in this thread have done the amount of support Joe has shown over the last decade. Period.

Yeah well the community can decide that. Cat bringing it up was fair game though.

 

[THTB]

did you read my post? maybe you will realize one day what passion is for a game, hopefully.

Don't get me started on passion. Do you want me to give you my story of what I had to go through at Summer Jam 2011 just for MK9? How I had been supporting MK PRIOR to MK9 in general, entering MK tournaments for multiple MK games, about how I've been with this community since I first even began to play fighting games competitively. How about the numerous things I've done for the sake of discussion of MK9?

Let's not go into all that. Because clearly I'm not passionate about MK9 and MK as a whole.

is that why you used to be a mod
