Yeah Tim please split this thread BIG SORRY for derrailing it.
You know there's better videos then that right? Of way better players? It is amazing.
Not including the 3on3 Combat would be fun, Tim maybe you can split these MKT Post to another topic? Don't these forums have a option to split posts?
Nah there's two guys out in brazil that are freaking nuts! and how can you determine the best when there's no international tournament? Don't make me LAUGH! I tend to do that not doubting he's good, Ive just seen better youtube videos, I don't think its always about the players who win either, I feel shock is one of the best umk3 players even though he sometimes doesn't make first place same concept just cause sayamans out there, there's always a better player to kick him down. Same goes for shock there's always another player out there better.
Man I have talked extensively about that with the Dominican guys. Sure the Brazil guys (Marcelo mostly) can do combos in matches that look almost tool asisted but...
Those guys have still stuff to learn. They have a very faulty gameplan. I will try to describe it:
For example they always double run jab each other, when they start spamming the lp+blk glitch, one of them randomly attacks. Either a sweep or a Lk. Those attackes ARE punishable on block. They DONT punish them and repeat that stuff over and over. His rivales NEVER change their strats, that make him look better of wht he really is.
Marcelo can do killer combos but his opponents dont. For example Robson and Danniel fail basic combos like hklp, jk, tlpt xxx that is unforgivable. If both players were at the same level believe me that Marcelo WOULDNT be doing those fancy combos. He takes too much risks that a good player will not "forgive".
He has good execution but lacks "evil intent" in his natches. He depends on brute force and damage to win and if their opponents arent up to him, you will only see a combo exhibition (and he knows it). Its just the same when we see matches from Ded (lol joking ded I love ya). If they dont adapt to him then the question remains: can he adapt to good players as well? My bet is on Dominican Republic.
Look at these vids for example:

He (Juan Nightwolf) has won the last 2 tourneys on Rep. Dom. In the last one (this december 26th) he won withouth losing a single match. Imagine that with Sayaman, Evolution, Matrix, El Menol, Millagy and all those beast there. Thats guy is IMO simply the best.
I dont want to take off the Brazilian players, I may pay a visit to them sometime cause its relatively close of my country and I might get my ass whopped but still I think that the best MKT players in the world are Dominicans.
