Realistic is that MMH is no boogeyman. Realistic is that MMH is working just as hard to win as Aquaman, Batman, Zod, WW, Bane, Zatanna, Frost, Black Adam and all the other top 5s in the game despite the fact he's got two specialists in the driver's seat. People want to say MMH is S tier (or just better than the rest) because he looks good on paper and REO said so, but when the same gets said about WW we just laugh Foxy back into irrelevance. I don't know why we can't get there on this MMH thing. REO and Jupiter (two really good players who have been dedicated to him for months) duking it out in the Apex finals doesn't prove anything, unless you'd also accept that Grr v. Max or Theo v. KDZ or Rico v. DragonGod GF at a real actual major (all very likely if they travel) is also some kind of proof.
The MMH bandwagon has shifted gears to "he needs time" because when solid guys at all the locals picked up the martian they didn't just win. If 6 months isn't long enough for an S Tier butterfly to emerge from its cocoon or at least give some sign of taking over, it ain't happening. No S tier character in the history of S tier characters has needed that kinda time unless it required an exploit or an infinite to get there and if that's what Pig is talking about, then everybody in Injustice "needs time" because we all know how NRS games are.
So many misconceptions here:
-People aren't 'laughing f0xy into irrelevance'. People have been playing against him this entire time, and they simply aren't having the kinds of issues vs. him that they were early in the game's life. This isn't to say that WW isn't a good character, but look at her results.
People have been overrating WW for a long time, and just because someone declared her to be absolute top-level doesn't mean that she is.
-Proof of MMH as a serious threat did not start with APEX and won't end there.
-As far as 'No S tier character has ever needed time', again this is completely untrue. In MK9, Kenshi took months and months to reach the level where he was widely feared. In Injustice, even Superman took some months to reach the level he was at by EVO. Sonya was never a day-1 tournament winner and it took a lot of development for her to become what she was in later years.
It was practically August when MMH was released and that means that at this point he's been out for less than 6 months, and for a higher-execution character that's not very much time at all. This is doubly true for DLC characters, which not everyone buys Day 1.
Add to this that the 1.6 patch in which MMH fared well was in October.
-Grr and Maxintensity are indeed proof and they've shown that Bane is a viable Top 8 character now when he was widely considered to be the laughingstock of Injustice. I don't know what you were going for here, but those results speak for themselves.
-Equating Killer Frost to MMH is borderline ludicrous and I'll just leave it there.
I'll say again that MMH is def. not Kabal. But people seem to be living in denial about how good of a character he really is.
