    I think this is a great use for online play. I think as long as you don't make the mistake of thinking that it represents high level play but instead use it as a mode for learning how characters work on a basic level, you'll be all right. I know one thing: Playing this game in Ohio over...

    R-E-S-P-E-C-T: The Kitana Match-up Thread

    Wow, this is a really well written analysis. I would love to see more of these matchup breakdowns because I believe they teach us nubs more about the game than lists of combos, although those are also necessary so you know your character's toolset. Big thanks for taking the time to write this...

    POWERUP 2011 SHOUTOUTS THREAD!!

    Man, I met so many cool people this weekend I don't even know where to begin, so I'll just type stuff as it comes to mind: First of all, just some general site-wide props for the TYM crew: You guys were very welcoming despite my abysmal level of play this weekend. I got lots of constructive...

    PowerUp 2011 - Cincinnati, OH - April 29 - May 1 (very first MK9 tourney; UMK3 too!)

    Same, but I can say that I'm learning some new tricks to take back to the lab and practice with. I definitely get why you guys encourage us nubs to attend these tournaments. It really is the fastest way to pick up the essentials. Bottom line: If I can manage to get out of my singles matches...

    I can't report on the pork since it was sold out by the time I was hungry, but the chicken was good stuff :)

    Heading out there from the hotel now. Me = gangly dude in black hat and beard. Come to think of it, I may have just described 25% of the people at the arcade, but no matter. See ya there!

    MK9 System - How exactly does this game work?

    You are correct, just crouching without blocking will cause your opponent's throw to whiff. Re: the inconsistency that you pointed out, I'm not sure as it's always acted consistently for me. Range is absolutely a consideration in the throw/block/throw tech game as you suspected. As far as...

    Ermac General Discussion Thread

    So far, I would say that Ermac has a decent enough up close game, but only inasmuch as you want a few options for knocking people away from you so you can get your zone on. f+4 and u+4 are some of your best mixup tools along with b+1,1,4. I've noticed that string in particular tends to throw...

    MK9 System - How exactly does this game work?

    You crouch blocking constantly = me throwing you constantly. Welcome to TYM, by the way!

    Has anyone found the ground slam move useful? I feel like it has some potential, but I'm just not seeing it explicitly.

    *Krossing my fingers here..

    Yeah, I'm of two minds on the stick. It seems well built so far and I prefer it in some ways, but my execution over all is just much better on the pad (especially for dashes) at this point.

    Gamestop Tourney results for TYM :)

    man, Gamestop's setups sound like utter horseshit. Glad I ended up staying home and getting some much needed sleep instead. Good job to the winners :)
