    Tom Brady Podcast ft Shock: The History of the Modern MK scene (History of UMK3’s Rebirth and Evolution). Q: How did you get into the MK scene?

    I would love to, let's see where Brady goes with this as a series, also Kick Punch Block with Positively Raf has a series of interviews that he is doing, I set up a number of MK people through there and they've done interviews with them, with more to come.

    Tom Brady Podcast ft Shock: The History of the Modern MK scene (History of UMK3’s Rebirth and Evolution). Q: How did you get into the MK scene?

    Thanks for posting this Juggs, I hope we do some more of these and go in depth on more stuff, it's sort of chronological but we backtrack a bunch of times since this was very spur of the moment but Brady had a very good format for questions. I would like to balance the audio and put pics and...

    AREZ God Of War Has Passed Away

    Needed a few minutes to gather my thoughts, this is really sad so I'll keep it short. I went to his place in PA with @AC1984 once for some classic MK. He showed us his veritable zoo of animals and cooked us a chicken parm dinner. I remember him being a Kano player in UMK3 and that he would bind...

    AREZ God Of War Has Passed Away

    I am just seeing this now. How awful. He started messaging me again recently really opening up about things after years of disappearance, I assume to some of you as well.

    MK1/MK2/MK3 Secret "EJB" Hidden Menu Codes Discovered After 20+ Years

    I've never even tried on an arcade machine. I think anything that has modded menus that exist outside the emulation while the game is going probably isn't going to work.

    Cincinnati Kombat Klassic (was Get it in Ohio) 2019 results!

    Back then we had more people online saying "if" they came out, they would win. We were pulling good numbers right before MK9 came out though.

    Who are the top "influencers" in the NRS community? Podcast Discussion.

    One other thing though, and I know this is getting off topic, but as it pertains to UMK3 being romanticized. I wouldn't say it hasn't aged well, it's just that it is VERY old in general and that is a turn off to some. You show random people high level UMK3 and it's mindblowing to them. There are...

    Who are the top "influencers" in the NRS community? Podcast Discussion.

    Totally on the money, internet personalities like Max are a great resource because they reach a much more generalized, casual audience, and Eleague is a no-brainer too.

    Who are the top "influencers" in the NRS community? Podcast Discussion.

    It's not ignorant at all, and really not far off from that, as all post 2011 NRS games derive their momentum from the previous game directly, build their own, and repeat. When I really get to talk to people in person about this stuff, it's clear that I have a good idea as to what made MK9's...

    Who are the top "influencers" in the NRS community? Podcast Discussion.

    It has to be taken into consideration that the vast majority of the MK community is more the "NRS community" era, as in, MK9, MKX, Injustice 1 & 2. Anything before that is similar to SF4 '09ers. I understand this comes off a bit insulting to them but anything that happened from the arcade era...

    Are There Any Leaders In The NRS Community?

    NRS community is very much a snowball. People come and go, but there's a few of us who have been here since the beginning though.

    The 3D MK games from a competitive standpoint

    @Tom Brady tried to push the 3D MKs, all of 4 of them but there was no budge at all from the community to come out except for MKDA, which admittedly had a natural draw for interest since it was so different but after that it just fell off. We just kept running UMK3 and then MKII started to gain...

    MKD tournament at Summer Jam? Who's down?

    I will definitely be at Summer Jam, it's august but I will have to double check the date. We can try to put something together but it will be tough with MK11 going on. We'll need dedicate staff for anything on the side and I would have to try to get E to guarantee the space.
