KDZ
It's amore, BABY.
In this tournament everyone except Chris G played bad - really bad.
Lot of nonsense decisions in the character selection screen, lots of combo missed, lot of bad choices in many decisive spots.
Reo doesn't use Scorpion because "he doesn't care" lol, CD JR. picks Frost and doesn't even know how to use her...PL randomly goes with Cyborg - Flash - Batman without a reason.
Of course Scorpion didn't win, lol.
Also....you say the end of KDZ vs PL was hype, but to me it looked like KDZ can't even think when it really matters, his final f23 was an extremely bad choice.
Same for the end of the Chris G - Noobe game....what was that supernova for? very stupid, but many of you here think that was hype too....whatever.
Ok, so I've read a few of these comments because it's been brought to my attention. So let me clear up all this talk about the final f23 choice.
After Superman super, when done frame perfect, F23 locks you from anything but backdash. This includes trying to jump away. I correctly read PL's attempt to jump away, and failed to do a frame-perfect F23 there.
This was the source of my frustration at the loss. Right read... and a mistake of a single frame or two in execution under extreme pressure.
It wasn't a "stupid f23", or "an extremely bad choice". It was a matter of me trusting my read 100%, and my ability 100%, and putting it all on the line.
I came up short. And I'm sorry to everyone who was behind me.
