Says who? You? The character has ALL of the tools, damage, and gimmicks to be in the top 5 conversation. It's WAY too early to claim Flash is overrated. Stop.
I agree its to early but overrated/underrated. Doesn't matter, the character has done jack shit in tournaments. Pig is talking up Ak harold and he is spot on with that shit so hopefully we will see a change soon with tournament performance from Flash mains. The way I look at it is if Flash players see one do well they wanna do well too, so they hit the MUs harder, train harder and the entire community starts playing there character better. That seems to be the case with MMH. Also seemed to be the case with Sonya in MK9.

You SPECIFICALLY said SMASH - "IRRELEVANT ASS GAME" LOL.

Apex is NOT the smash communities only major. There's Genesis too. And I'm sure there's two more. I can't think of them. Besides MK community has zero. Stand alone anyway. So yeah.

What makes Apex stand out is that they actually run other fighting games there too.
so did you not read the kappa in that post or what. Stop trying to stir stuff up from harmless jokes

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 (Edit: Or because somebody they know who is really good with MMH but doesn't tournament / travel blows them up). 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.
Amm excuse me? Aquaman is easy AF, you shouldn't even be saying Aquaman takes the same skill as WW or Zatanna :(

one more, then I quit;

-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 issuesvs. 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 vs. the MMH results.
But nobody is having these issues with the Manhunter either. Show me the tournament (regional, local, major, whatever) that MMH steamrolled that wasn't REO or Jupiter. Hell, show me the one either of them steamrolled? It wasn't Apex. Who in SoCal, or NY/J or GGA or ATL or Texas or even the UK turned into jesus overnight cause they went to Mars?

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.
What the hell is happening in this thread?! Who proved MMH is any better than top tier? Who proved WW isn't?

-Proof of MMH as a serious thread did not start with APEX and won't end there.
This is not about threat. I feel like you didn't read my post. This is about the perception that MMH is better than any other Top Tier. That he stands either head or shoulders above characters like Aquaman or Batman who continue to prove their quality. He just isn't. Maybe REO is. Maybe Jupiter is. MMH isn't.

-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.
Are you declaring before god and baby jesus that Kenshi and Sonya are S tier or just some weird allegory where people working hard with high tier characters are the same as broke out the gate characters like Kabal, Cyrax and Kung Lao? (And before you say it, this is pre-nerf Cyrax and Lao) This is the issue with this debate. You keep thinking we're calling MMH bad or even not top tier when we say "not Kabal tier" but Injustice doesn't have the balance schism MK9 did. It has some good characters, it has some really good characters, and it has characters with issues that give the other ones very specific problems. And it has Cyborg. You're putting MMH on a pedestal that does not exist.

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.
So all those people who got good with Superman and Black Adam in three months are meta-humans? Or are they not high execution enough to get on that mmh 9 months of apologies plan?

-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.
My point is there's nobody out there saying Bane is the boogeyman that will dominate Injustice in a year even though everything he has accomplished since 1.06 speaks louder than MMH. There's no praise Jesus, Sinestro has finally arrived thread. And when Pig or Dave finally make Zod shine like he deserves on a stream someone is actually watching, you can be sure it'll be them that gets the praise, not the character.

-Equating Killer Frost to MMH is borderline ludicrous and I'll just leave it there.
Equating the nonsense that was surrounding KF to that currently surrounding MMH is not.

@AK Pig Of The Hut , @AspyxiaDyslexia-

Not at all, what I mean is, the people making Aquaman shine are the same as the guys making Batman shine are the same guys making MMH shine. Guys who understand their character well or are at the very least really fucking good at fighting games so they got it like that. No matter how "braindead" Aquaman is, its still gonna take a guy like Rico to d1,trident Arma into submission. S'not like he's the first guy to flee to the deep to escape a bad matchup. Just the first to make it look that easy.

Yeah, but even at the highest level WW takes way more skill than Aquaman. Even if i understand WW perfectly i will have to work more for my wins, I'm sorry WW doesn't have Aquaman's braindead shit and she actually has to play smart and patient.

Yeah, but tier lists and matchup numbers don't give a shit about execution. That's my point to Crim. Its not like REO's going to unlock some super saiyan mmh just by playing with a safer teleport or more dangerous fifty fifties and those are the things that are gonna keep him on the same page as the other top tiers for the rest of his life.

Ugh, this thread turned into a "my character is less brain dead then yours" dick measuring contest. I've always found the brain dead argument lame, because if X character is so easy to use why are only 1 or 2 people using the character correctly. At a high level if anybody things they can just win because of "brain dead" tactics they are idiots and will be out in pools.

Come On Die Young
before i forget or don't feel like it or something i want to give props to @HazeJupiter too

i think i got mad about something and described him as the worst MMH to pig or someone before. but after just playing him in casuals before the tournament i could tell he's stepped his game up a lot. nikka still lucky we didn't cross paths but you did awesome and i'm glad to have you as part of our scene despite whatever competition there is between you and reo.
