Who is the best MK9 player (Ed Boon Asks)

I don’t even know why this is a debate just giving personal opinions don’t matter. Boon asked very straight forward

Talk about statistics and then you’ll get who was the best

Talk statistics between PL, REO and CDJr

And because there was no ranking system you can’t really tell, let’s say is something like this:

1st place 10 points
2nd place 5 points
3rd place 3 points

The one with most points should be the best player, plain and simple. I don’t have time right now because I could find every single tournament they placed top 3 and do this

If that’s the case then it strengthens REO’s standing even more. He won more majors than anyone during MK9’s life. I think in the like 50 tournaments he only missed top 4 or top 8 once.

Then that’s the answer right there. Boon asked specific statistics that’s how I see that tweet.

It's a toss-up between REO, PL, and CDjr, for me.

REO and CDjr were more consistent at overall placements (there's a smaller sample size for PL as well, as he did not attend as many tournaments as those two), but you can't erase the repeat EVO victories argument...that's such a big deal, and he did so over both REO and CDjr. He even won/placed high at the tournaments he did enter fairly consistently, if memory serves correct.

If it had to be concrete, I'd say REO. He was consistent on such a regular basis...it never really seemed to be a real low spell for him...despite not taking EVO, he was top 2 twice, as well. CDjr seemed to wane a little bit towards the end, and PL had a bit more sporadic placement after EVO 2011, but remained effective until the game's end, and has more top 4 placements at EVO than the other two players. Honorable mention goes to DJT, as well. The only knock is he didn't hit full stride until arguably the later half of the MLG 2012 run, but he's still one of 3 EVO champs for the game.

Realistically, yes but the history of Mortal Kombat 9 will be around / spoken of for a long time.

It's highly regarded because of what transpired from it's release (community, competition, rise of top players, hype moments, etc...) and no one can deny that there was something special about it.

I still enjoy Mortal Kombat 9 to this day and was actually playing it last night.
