To play devil's advocate, to my knowledge all the players had access to the game beforehand.
So if your argument is that he found dirt and exploited it, well ok, but those other players weren't able to do so given the same opportunity. The point just being that his success says a lot about his ability to inituitively learn a game incredibly quickly, and moreover just says the guy is talented.
I actually do agree with tweedy that it makes sense to invite the current most successful nrs players, and I don't buy into the notion that injustice and mk are just so vastly different that success in one has no weight in the other, it's just not true.
Yeah, they are different and have some key mechanics unique to one another, but they're pretty similar, and very similar relative to other games. Hell, mkx has more in common with injustice than several mk games.
All that aside, this tournament is about publicity and marketing!!!!! This isn't for us, it is intended to get casual eyeballs on the screen and to get people outside the competitive community to buy it and play it. So, they will select people they think will attract notice. A tournament of a game not yet released means nothing competitively anyway, right? That's why Ryan hart was there.
So, don't be surprised to see lupe fiasco.....
