some heroes are born, some made, some wondrous
never ceases to amaze me how toxic some people on this forum are... nothing wrong with a guy wanting to play top players. He put his money up, tried to make a fun challenge video for our entertainment... this should be lauded behaviour and the negative arseholes in this thread are the ones that should be maligned.

I hope Reo and/or Tom take you up on this.. as call outs and other things is what this site needs more of, not less.

Death Before Dishonor
Arrogant, talented, world renowned fighter. Shane Douglas = Tom Brady.
Seasoned, wise but insane, iconic champion. Terry Funk = Reo.
Crazy, capable, long tan and handsome wild card. Sabu = Box.
I'm not trying to be an ass but you implied that you're crazy, capable, long tan and a "handsome" wild card.
Then you considered yourself as Sabu..... Sabu is ugly as fuck so which one are you?
Please excuse the judgmental statement on how Sabu looks i'm just being truthful even tho judging another man on how he looks is ghey imo so no homo. I just wanted you to clarify on whichever one you consider yourself as?

...y'know, I didn't even think of that. Shit. Good eye, friend.
It's more for the gimmick of the match. No one back then had EVER done a marquee three way dance, let alone for a title or as a main event.
I don't remember ever seeing such a thing attempted, in our scene or any other. it's always one on one.
It's something fucking different that's going to be fucking decent.

This dude is high as fuck on narcotics.
I wish. This is me, all the time.

Oh, I figured this was going to be 80% people shitting on the idea. I don't blame them.
But this has literally been on my list of things to do since we were still playing MK9.

If you're going to go big, go really fucking big.

Man it's just that you haven't created buzz on your own merits. It's a cheap tactic trying to build your relevancy on the back of others that are frankly legends of the scene. This is some remy ma nicki Minaj stuff. Remy is likely the better writer, but she's still pretty obviously trying to come up on someone more famous' name.

This would be really fucking hype had you maybe gutted a bunch of top players on redhot Sunday's or on REO's stream or something, really anything that made the scene take notice. Maybe I'm wrong and I don't doubt that you're a good player, and some showmanship is cool, but right now you're just some guy that claims he's the shit.

You claim that this is hype and "gargantuan", and that we should all be excited simply because you say so. It just doesn't work that way.

It'd be one thing if you walked up to REO at a major and pulled out a hundred bucks with no fanfare and said let's do this shit. Have someone record it, and boom we've got something now.

There's just no context to this whatsoever, I don't think even people like myself who are pretty in tune with this game and love seeing new players emerge (seeing rye, destroyer, dragon, semiij, revet, rise has been fucking hype to me) have enough of an awareness around you as a player to find this compelling.

This just comes across as entitled. Why should these guys respond is my question? I agree this scene is at its best with some wwf or ecw if you prefer drama and rivalries to make the sets more narratively interesting. We would all agree that the PL sonic feud is a highlight of mkx.

But the difference is that no one needed to explain why the two players in question battling on twitter and putting their money where their mouths were made for good drama.

You've put in a lot of effort trying to drum this up, so good for you, I hope it pans out and you shake some shit up, but I think I'll wait for the stream archives personally haha.

How can Remy "come up" on Nicki when she is a legend, herself? Come up is usually applied to newcomers, right?

Btw, I think this idea is worth a shot. I wouldn't expect anything from Brady but I would expect at least a "yes" or "no" from Reo. Good luck to you in getting a response as well as the fights if it even gets that far.

Maybe it's been a while, but Tom is no longer a top player and hasn't placed at anything in (literally) years.

He is not considered a threat and calling him out is the equivalent of stepping on a small woodland animal and yelling at it to build hype.

I'm saying this as a friend of his, but this is barking up the wrong tree until proven otherwise.

How the fuck is remy a "legend"?!! Hahaha she was on lean back in like 04, and toiled on mixtapes! She is a respected lyricist (I guess? In the she's pretty good for a girl rapper kind of way?) and has never sustained a career of any note. She's been in jail for what 6 or 7 years? She's far from a legend, and unquestionably many many levels below nicki Minaj in fame, brand, marketability, etc. my point in the analogy was that though remy ma is talented (giving boxy the benefit of the doubt) she's clearly trying to piggyback off the success of nicki. It's not a coincidence that remy isn't going at some unknown ny artist. It's similar to a bunch of middling rappers replying to Kendrik's control verse trying to ride the buzz and coat tails of a much more famous and successful rapper.

Lil Kim is a legend. Lauryn hill is a legend. Eve is not quite a legend but respected and famous. Remy ma is very fittingly the papoose or Saigon of female rappers: maybe talented and for a moment in time looked like she might make it, but just didn't.

Remy ma a legend!!! Bro!!!! Haha

Yeah this is the other aspect of this. Calling out two former greats that in all honesty have not been dominant in this game at all, seems like the easy way out. So this supports what I'm saying though, it seems too calculated to call out those two specifically as they are probably the best known players in the scene that are currently just not that great. So boxy gets the notoriety of the name recognition and isn't taking that huge of a risk because I'd venture that most players that get out of pools would take sets off tom and reo no problem.

No shade at tom and reo, both talented fg players, and goliaths in the scene, tech monsters, and have both given a shit ton to these games, but this isn't exactly calling out sonic, scar, semiij, foxy, dragon, or whomever.

Ok I'm done.

The remy ma is a legend post just sucked me back in. A legend he says!!!!! Just.....how?!

For the record, IF any other top players want to take part in something similar and insane, BY ALL MEANS let's do some crazy shit.
I'll fight anybody. I don't give a shit if I get bodied.
A legit life philosophy I taught my daughter is that it isn't a matter of winning or losing the fight, it's what will you learn and how will that fight make you and the nature of the battle itself better.
But as far as why specifically Reo and Tom? Because I've had THIS particular idea in my head for YEARS.
I don't wanna fight Reo and Tom because I wanna get e-famous.
I don't wanna fight Reo and Tom because I think it'll catapult me up the ranks.
I wanna fight Reo and Tom because they're two of my favorite players/people in all of life, and because I theory fight/brainchild a hundred different scenarios in my head every day I have to wait to be able to lab and compete online again and this one involving the two of them would have a LOT of implications over the stretch of not only the scene as it is in 2017, but going all the way back to the MK9 days.

Or if you want, you could replace Tom for CoreyTheDragon, since Tom no longer is a competitive player. I have seen Corey being a competitive Sub Zero player.

Slowly being won over out of respect for the perseverance.
Then this has already technically been half a success. Win hearts, destroy your enemies, repeat :D.

it's science, man...

Look, people, I know most of you don't know me from a turkey sandwich.
But some of you who do, and the few people I have in my world who really know know me know that I love this shit.
I don't care if our community is more bitter and dried out than a retired elderly escort who's been left out in the sun too long.
There are still players, and fans, and humans who just generally love to see interesting shit happen out there that this, if done right and built/billed properly from one end to the other, could be an epic and entertaining spectacle for.
Gimmicks like this are kind of rare in the FGC. Nonexistent in our branch of it.
What went down as the #1 grudge match/hype battle of MKX? Wound VS Forever King. debatably? A GREAT match, but not just because the two players involved were two of the best in the business, but because of all the build and the pressure and the hype and the anticipation that mounted behind it. Why not more? Where is all the fire? We have numbers. We have competition. We have the seeds for rivalries and grudges.
So why does barely anyone try?
You think you're worthy of a higher stage?
You have someone in mind you want to best in order to prove it?
Do any of you know how to tie a knot?

Am I really the only person from the oldish days who still wants to MAKE shit happen instead of just wait for something to explode?

It's the most important 11 minutes of my FGC related life.

I cannot think of any plainer way to put it.

Name your time. Name your place.
I'll put up $100 just to make it interesting.

I've been through the ringers.
I've shed my tears and blood.
I know I'm worth the effort.
I want to destroy both of you.
Let's make history.

I'd be cool with you challenging either Reo or Brady but asking to take on both just seems like a ploy for attention and really unnecessary

I have a question, is there any footage of you playing MK9, Injustice, or MKX at a high level anywhere?

I feel that would add more legitimacy to your thread.

Fair enough. Maybe not a legend but more so than Nicki. Well that's all opinion anyway. I consider Lauryn to be the best personally and I really don't consider Lean Back to be anything special. I guess the battling of Remy and the fact that I consider Nicki to be a pop star just does it for me.

And it seems we are on different wave lengths when it comes to the rap game but I love the conversation. I'm not a fan of Kendrick. The first album was dope but beyond that I feel like he's trying too hard to be different. I do understand where you're coming from with the Control stuff though. It was played out as soon as it started. Just get your own stuff and kill it. PM? I feel like I'm personally derailing the thread lol.

Lauryn Hill is a legend.
No one in the female hip-hop echelons as of now has any place thinking of themselves as legendary.
No one has gotten there yet, not in a long time. Real talk. I miss when women emcees would cut foes to ribbons.

Anyway, back to the point.
WHERE THE HELL ARE REO AND TOM BRADY?

Guys.
Please.
I want you to look me in my eyes.
And by that, I mean look at my Pain Bot in his light bulb.
Understand how serious I am about this fight.
I don't want to just roll around in broken glass with you two on a higher plane.
I want to FIGHT the two of you. I want to CHALLENGE the two of you.
I want to know that I have no further FGC related purpose in life more important than being prepared to fight to the death against you two.
I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.
I don't give a fuck if anyone thinks it's a great idea.
If the two of you are down with doing something fucking new and unheard of for the sake of breaking ground on some hype shit, then fucking get at me and let's have a fight. I dont want to just say "I fought Brady and Reo." That's a fucking simpleton sack of sissynanny's way of looking at things. I want THE Brady and Reo. I want the two most dysfunctional other halves of one brilliant ultraviolent brain to get hungry and say "let's have a fight no one else has had before and fucking give the world a blueprint for how to do hype right."

Guys.
I'm Box. I'm not walking the line between genius and crazy.
I AM the fucking line between genius and crazy.
And I need the both of you to understand...there is gold in these here hills.
And I want the three of us to destroy one another and mine it.

This needs higher stakes. Anybody can throw down a hundred dollars to fulfill their boyhood dream. Ye say you lost your smile years ago, yet ye somehow believe you're entitled to a title shot against the Two Man Power Trip? Raise the stakes! If ye lose, superglue that wolf hat to your head for a month and do a daily vlog. If ye win, may glory be your spoils!

P.S Ye remind me more of Chris Chetti.

Eh not gonna trash this. I didn't really watch the video, attention span too short.. BUT, players like Reo or Tom or any other top player wouldn't really take this seriously. You gotta do what the rest of us have to do to be taken seriously, show up offline and put in work.

No offense but i see you talking about hyping this up if they accept, but a lot of people will be wondering who tf you are and why they should bother watching. Got to make a name before you start dropping names man. And mkx is over.... might as well try again in inj2
