We should probably give M2Dave props.

He had impressive play, can't deny that.

Props for looking quite impressive and playing clean, but really, I don't think there was ever serious doubt about whether Dave is a great player or not. That said, he still didn't make it out of pools. I'm not saying this to blow him up -- it was an incredibly brutal pool -- but ultimately, results count.

I think it's ok to give props for 9th here. I mean, if people were using this to justify him being the official Zod of America or something, that'd be slightly different. But based on the fact that some people were saying he was never that good to begin with and his career was done, this is commendable and the thread makes sense.

Just to make a side note on what 'making it out of pools' talk means

Usually 'making it out of pools' means you have made top 32/16 and deserves a certain level of props that is less distinguished than making top8 which is the next tier up.

However, at this tournament (KiT) there were only 4 pools, thus 'making it out of pools' and making top 8 are synonymous. To make it out of pools here is also to make top 8 so you can't really blow him up for 'not making it out of pools' in that sense. If this were an 8 pool tournament Dave would have easily made it out.

Regardless, his Zod play was great and he classily gave respect to Pig after the mirror. Props

All right. Mild props given :)

There were a lot of notable people that did not even make it out of pools, so if you're blowing m2dave up, you have to blow other people up with him...

...besides that Zod Charge blunder, i'm giving props. That was one hard ass pool and I thought he was going to get in.

Yeah good point. Nobody's blowing Dave up though, and he doesn't deserve to be blown up. Stacked tournament, stacked pool, played well, finished at a respectable position.

Props for what? He didn't even win the tournament.
Good point.

Then why are we giving you props? You never won Evolution. But guess who did? Carl "Perfect Legend" White.

But that one Zod Charge...why u no meter burn???
I was told there was a glitch with certain meter burn special attacks. If you perform a special attack, tap the meter burn button and then a directional input, the meter burn is canceled.

Pig and I made the character... together. It took lots of ass beatings from the likes of Theo, Wound Cowboy, King, etc. to figure out what works and what does not. I was very happy for him.

I will give Dave props for his play and actions at KiT. He played extremely well, and proved that the M2Dave era might not be as dead as people might think. For one day, on one stage, you played very well good sir, and no one can take that away from you. I was extremely impressed with you, and your Zod. Good shit man. I hope this is a sign of things to come. I think it would be good for the community if you continued to look awesome.

Although lets keep it real, I still hate 95 percent of your posts and think you do more harm than good much of the time, but Im no blind hater who cant give credit when due. For this weekend at least, you deserve props.

What I posted was Playing To Win's theory. I am not sure why it happens.

I guess another example would be Batgirl's MB teleport.
This has happened to me before. I have always attributed it to just not timing the MB version properly, but if this is true then damn. Then again, I mash my MB button when I wanna do an MB move.

I give props when props are due. I am an unbiased MKC analyst and props cop. Dave had a pretty good showing at KIT. Great matches. I will blow him up 20% less than before. I would even go to 25% less if he behaves himself when it comes to DS.

Bat girl's teleport MB is a good example and an even better one is harley tantrum to cartwheel

Go to practice mode and input Harley's tantrum to cartwheel and after u input cartwheel enter random direction commands or buttons and you'll notice it makes harley roll back from tantrum and cancels the CW

When I do ZC I remove all fingers on pad and mash MB lol

That's how I confirm the MB everytime
