BURN!
Did you stumble on the character select and accidentally choose Kenshi and Aquaman against me?
I don't see how his argument is lost in any way shape or form, any prior argument they had is irrelevant to this, he's asking how Shinnok is top tier after the patch and I'd like to see the answer to itLol, I saw you talking shit to forever king in threads before the patch too, just stop.
It is important to recognize when an argument is lost, and just let it go
So when you started using kung lao more just happened to be right when he got buffed?I did actually use Buzzsaw alot in casuals, he was my second most used character right next to Kung Jin. I just never brought him out in tournament because I was always using Kung Jin
i agreeI meant to put this here...
I don't even understand this argument. At the game's highest levels, you do everything you can to win - or you probably don't win.
Calling someone a "tier whore"? The mindset behind this argument is a losing one.
How is picking the character that gives you the best chance to win any different from playing the character you chose in the best possible way to win?
When you're trying to win a tournament against great players, the only way to do that is to not only be better - but to be your best.
Choosing a character that gives you less chance of victory just makes no sense.
If you're playing for fun, then pick whomever you want - but if you gotta win, be single-minded in your quest to achieve that goal.
18 Tanyas in one tourney and 22 Predators in another tells you everything you need to know. Almost everyone good enough to compete at the highest levels chooses their character by who helps them win. This is part of the equation that gets you there.
...but generally those that see it this way aren't competing at that level.i agree
but
people like shit teir characters played by really good players, so they hate on top players who use the best characters
cause they've already seen those characters win before
thats the only line of logic i can slightly follow as to why these people complain about teir whores
that and getting mopped by them constantly.
which is the most ironic part about it and makes no sense. It's the same people that get mad at you for beating them and call you a nerd but if they win they teabag you. It makes no sense at all....but generally those that see it this way aren't competing at that level.
For such a shitty use of one of the greatest meme's of all time:no it isn't, because he is still my main now. but yo, if you really want to talk before the patch, check out witch variation is in the mood chooser bruh, doesn't look like bone shaper to me. you said it yourself: "It is important to recognize when an argument is lost, and just let it go ", you were kind of right.
EDIT:
LOL agreed. I know I don't care if people use top tier. And it shouldn't matter to anyone else either; you're competing to win. Why make that harder unnecessarily? It might be a "scumbag" tactic to some, but in the end YOU are gonna be the one that gets paid. There's no shame, if you don't wanna be counterpicked then pick a top tier or a character with no 3-7's or worse (if you're not a character loyalist, poor Zatanna )lol just stop you can admit it it's fine.
I think you missed the point. Sassolino was, both before and after the patch, talking shit to Forever King saying he is a tier whore. Sassolino, before and after the patch, has used Quan and Shinnok, so I (and others) called out this blatant hypocrisy. Sassolino tried to say that he is in fact not a tier whore because shinnok was recently nerfed, which is an irrelevant argument because he was also calling King a tier whore before the patch.I don't see how his argument is lost in any way shape or form, any prior argument they had is irrelevant to this, he's asking how Shinnok is top tier after the patch and I'd like to see the answer to it
Thread should be changed to "The Roast of Forever King"I genuinely naturally assumed this thread was about warrior until today. Fucking hell guys
Because the very idea of slandering a necessary mindset for competing at the game's highest levels is awful in itself.Why is everyone so ashamed to admit they are a tier whore (not pointing fingers). Its a game and people will do what they can to win, including picking good characters.
Anyway, predators 3 getting nerfed to a high was unnecessary after his extensive damage nerf, kills that pressure...but he has plenty of other tools gimicks and setups and hes fine.
I blame King and Sonicfox for Predator mirrors in GF at Summer Jam...NRS was like yeah damage isnt enough..nerf more! Standing 3? Sure!
Iv never even touched HQT. No bomb setups? Nah
Cyrax 2016? Plz ed
Let me start off by saying, I'm not sure what the issue with tier whoring is. I really don't care what character someone else plays, and I'd much rather they jump on the one they feel is the strongest, than make a million threads fighting to buff an already capable character the highest level.I think you missed the point.

Just play Kenshi for a day and no one will call you a tier whore ever again! LoLIf you say so. Contrary to popular belief, I don't tier whore as much as you guys think. My mains since day 1 of MKX were Kung Lao and Kung Jin, my favorite characters. They just so happened to be good. You can't say I don't like them and only tier whore, because Kung Lao is my main in basically every MK he's in and I used Kung Jin at Fatal 8 before anyone knew anything about tiers.
Then Predator is just awesome, his dash cancels are super fun. So I'm not necessarily tier whoring, I am using great characters but they just so happened to be characters that I like and be really good. I got lucky
I don't have an issue with tier whoring, just hypocrisy, he was the one calling someone a tier whore, I just said a pot shouldn't call the kettle blackLet me start off by saying, I'm not sure what the issue with tier whoring is.

Now, that being said - Sasso from day 1 doesnt play any summoner or boneshaper, so that immediately falls kinda in on itself, he plays the other more variations. Now even if he did, if he was a tier whore - the whole point in that word would be that he jumped ship from from Shinnok since he was normalised. Some people just enjoy the characters.
Just wanted to point out that when shit like the Lebron, Wade and Bosh group up in one spot, is the sporting equivalent of tier whoring. And everyone knows exactly what's going on. I've made jokes about it and shit like the yankees buying everyone but that's all I ever heard, just jokes. Unless you from the player's original team, then things get a bit dicey. I don't know if anyone here shames players for tier whoring but I always just thought it was a funny thing to call someone. Like when Chris G plays marvel and people give him shit for being lame. Just something you clown people for but all in good fun.Because the very idea of slandering a necessary mindset for competing at the game's highest levels is awful in itself.
We don't call Major League Baseball's Powere Hitters Home Run Whores, do we? Do we call the NBA's high flyers Dunk Sluts? So, why the he!! would we call the greatest fighting game players any kind of slander. Why? Because we are haters, plain and simple. There can be no other reason.
So, stop with the Tier Whore talk. You make yourself sound like a salty scrub by even using the term. I feel like a scrub even typing it out to say that it shouldn't be used.
It kinda sucks, but with the threat of D4 and B3 your opponent should still be blocking when Predator is up close most of the time@FOREVER KING What is your opinion on 3 becoming a high? Does this hurt him alot?
If you're talking about me, I've never called anyone a tier whoreI don't have an issue with tier whoring, just hypocrisy, he was the one calling someone a tier whore, I just said a pot shouldn't call the kettle black
Not talking about you. Was talking about the guy who called u thatIf you're talking about me, I've never called anyone a tier whore
