best top 8 of all time! incredible play from scar with both smoke and sonya im amazed. cowboys victory over sonic was great, hayatei was outrageous and destroyer brought that tremor hype! production was on point wow that made up for not seeing top 16 losers. shout out to biohazard for the 59% kano combo too

Spammer. Crouch walk hater.
The tournament was great.

What is now clear to everyone after watching this, is that Subzero's b2 is unreactable, safe (it's not punishable if nobody punishes it) and with a broken disjointed hitbox that leads to huge damage.

When is the patch nerfing it NRS?

Cowboy punished it almost every time from what I remember.
Not to disagree, I think this move is unreactable, has a fucked up hitbox etc.

It's funny how Sonya wins a major AFTER she got nerfed. Yea, most nerfed character for sure.

Oh, wait....
 
very awesome that no more ridicudumb characters dominate the game. no more acidic counterpicks that saved a losing foxes ass so many times, no more "super players" with their tarkatans tearing through the bracket. But if i have to see corpse hop into jb1 one more time, ill puke.

oh and congrats to scar, he deserves it. Cowboys time will maybe come another day.

I was really hoping @Madzin was going to win... you did so well man, it was a heart breaker when you got knocked out and to not even get a tase of the pot is so hardcore. The entire international set of fans was with you man.. so awesome you made it out there I really hope you had fun though and will continue to show the NA scene love!

Scar was amazing, and really shows how reactionary and generally completely wrong about everything the TYM average poster is. Something was nurffed, OMG IT IS USELESS NOW!!.. no it isn't. I suspect that Dragon would have done better sticking to the more honest alien, I mean it isn't like that guy is now suddenly bad either. Scar shows us that not only he is a top player, but he is also a smart one and doesn't listen to the winging and bitching that infects even some of the very high profile members around here.

Was so disappointed Madzin didn't bust out unbreakable though. Take that variation ot the lab man, it has some serious answers for high pressure opponents like Sonya and Melleena now that parry actually works.

Cowboy was a real star of the show for me. From that epic day he went to Yomi and challenged ForeverKing in that match he has always been one of my favourite players ever. I absolutely love his style of play and there is something endearing about this guy. When he is on stage, you just "want" him to win!

Sonic, man... people love to hate you but you know how fucking good you are. Top 3 in a event like that is just a bad day, not some sign of the end of days. When you win as much as you do it is hard not to root for the other guy, but you always bring the amazing tech and awesome crispy play.. so good!!

Bio, Hayatei, Illusions and the big surprise for me Destroyer.. seriously amazing stuff.

I was sad to see Honeybee knocked out but as I said the real heart breaker was Madzin. I was so upset when he lost that it took me until tonight to go back and watch the rest!! I mean KP's elimination to FK was heartbreaking as well, but man .. I so wanted Madzin to win.

To the SCR Crew.. amazing work. Looked like the best event ever. I wish that there was something even remotely like this in my area, but flying to America to watch a event like this is way beyond my means.

To the commentators, great work. The truth is I am not a huge fan of Godspeed and Wonderchef but I really think you guys did a great job all weekend and it was a huge pools day to talk constantly. Must be so hard to think of things to say! Really appreciate the effort man.

Finally I just want to thank LevelUpLive... without a doubt one of the best event streamers in the biz and SCR was a golden experience for the viewers.. great stuff.

Man... the entire event was so awesome can not wait for the next SCR and all the other majors incomming!

MKx is not even close to done.. so much salt to be sown and glory to be gained!!

Actually 50/50's were still the dominant aspect, can someone tell me if I'm wrong? Sonya,subzero,etc. all got wins because of 50/50 guesses.
To be fair the Sonya did like 18% over and over. Smoke didn't even go for the vortex at all. The games weren't rush up and pressure loop over and over then 50/50. This tournament actually show cased more footsies and spacing then probably any other tourney mkx had so far
