You know one problem with this sort of format is that a person could be eliminated by the time they play their 3rd match. Or both players could already have qualified. So in theory, one or the other could easily happen to the CD Jr v Curbo match, or any of the other last 3 matches - everyone's good enough that I could see any of the 8 qualifying for the Semis.

So only the first 8 matches should be guaranteed to have players not trolling around.

I realise in most of these forums that anytime there is an issue concernign CD Jr and Jax, Tyrant's name seems to come up. In as much as they are both Jax players I don't think we should be going round comparing them. If Curbo looses against CD Jr, I don't think it necessarily means that CD's Jax is better than Tyrant's, it just goes to show you that styles of play are really important in the MK game and as such one must modify his play depending on who they are facing. I believe Tyrant is a more rushdown type of player whiles CD Jr is more on the tactical side (wait for your opportunity and punish).

I however feel that should both of them face off (Jax mirror) it could go either ways 'cos both could turn the match in their favour based on their respective strengths. For example, Tyrant could mix up so much CD Jr would be caught time and time again, whiles Tyrant could push too hard and get punished time and time again by a very patient CD Jr. Tyrant can be careless sometimes and that's how come he lost against Curbo though the later played really well and on point. Imagine doing a fake out ground pound in-front of Cage. CD Jr would only do this occasionally but Tyrant was throwing it out like Johnny Cage hasn't got one of the best uppercuts in the game as well as good wake-ups.

Why are we all not calling this? Are we scared of loosing the trust of one of the two players or feeling they'll think we believe less in their ability? I know Tyrant has friends who think he will loose to Junior whiles Junior has friends who think he will loose to Tyrant but will never say it. Personally, I think Tyrants rushdown game could give him a quick victory and at the same time CD Junior could take it easy by switching up between pressure and tactical play.

We need a Jax mirror between the 2 best Jax players in the United States. Bring it!!!
