Your sheer arrogance is just baffling. Whether or not
YOU reveal this tech or not, people are already digging for it, it's going to be found. You honestly think you're
THAT good that nobody's going to find it? Some ego you got there.
If you wanted people to NOT USE IT in tournaments; you'd reveal the damn thing SO THE T.O.'S CAN FUCKING BAN IT.
Not so you can just randomly pull it out and win a major with it.
Y'know, I honestly can't recall a single post you've made where I haven't thought "Wow, what a fucking idiot." I try to keep that to myself in the interest of decency, but after seeing the way you've carried yourself in this thread and the way you disrespect CD Jr, you don't know the first fucking thing about decency, and so you don't deserve it from anyone else. I'm going to put you on blast AND give you a little history lesson at the same time, so if nothing else, you can't say this won't be informative!
Let's start with your first address: "Even if you don't post it, it'll be found eventually, so you should just post it anyway". That's like saying "Your kids are going to grow up and start drinking anyway, so you should pass them a shot of JD straight out of the womb!" In fact, you'd might as well skip a few chapters and say "EVENTUALLY we're all going to get old and die, so let's just pass them a shot of antifreeze and skip right to the end!" You're probably thinking to yourself that these statements both sound really fucking dumb right about now.
Welcome to my world. Welcome to CD Jr's world. Welcome to the world of anyone who has any understanding of how competitive fighters work, which sure as shit isn't you.
Just because people are looking for a potentially game-breaking exploit doesn't mean we should just hand it out so they can break the game for free. Finding easy access to this reset is NOT a good thing, so why the hell should CD Jr advocate it? Christ, it's like saying "Well, smugglers are looking to acquire illegal weapons, they're GOING to get them eventually, so arms dealers should just hand them out for free!" Regardless of whether or not it's "going to happen", CD Jr doesn't want to support the exploitation of a broken gameplay mechanic that could potentially mar the game's reputation in the competitive scene. Why should he hand it out like candy so it can damage the game's image at a much faster rate, ESPECIALLY now that it's being picked up by MLG? This is a crucial point in the game's lifespan. This is a point where we have an opportunity to prove that the game can hold up at a competitive level. Incase you didn't know (and I'd bet my left nut that you had no fucking clue, because your ignorance knows no bounds), MLG picked up Tekken once upon a time. You might notice that MLG no longer supports Tekken. Do you wonder why that is? I can promise you that anyone who's familiar with the American Tekken scene doesn't, because in the wonderful world of Tekken 6, over-centralization runs rampant. EVERYONE plays Bob, and no one wants to see that. There's no variety, there's no hype, and Tekken is already considered to be a boring game to watch at the highest level of play. I don't mean to knock the game by any means, because I enjoy playing Tekken myself, but even most Tekken players will tell you that watching two fat guys back dash into jabs and throws ad nauseam gets real old, real fast.
And now, my favorite part. See, what I love about this is that it shows you aren't even trying to put two and two together, because you don't need an innate understanding of the competitive scene to figure this one out: You claim that he should post it so tourney organizers can ban it. Let's rewind a bit, here: Was Cyrax's bomb trap banned? Was Kabal's block infinite banned? Was Raiden's block infinite banned, for the three days it was considered a threat? Hell, let's fast forward to now: Are Cyrax's resets banned? Jax's reset? Smoke's reset, the culprit in question? Quan Chi's rune trap? No. No, no, no. No to EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF THESE. If not one of these has ever been banned at major tournaments, EVEN AT EVO, what the fuck makes you think that Smoke's reset will be? A word to the not so wise: You can't just BAN some of this shit. It's not so easily regulated at the highest level of play. Kabal's block infinite couldn't be banned because TECHNICALLY, it was escapable, and you couldn't just say "Okay, you can loop this one or two times, but not twenty times." Cyrax's bomb trap couldn't be regulated because you couldn't so easily say "Okay, you can do a bomb after a command grab, but you aren't allowed to attack right after." Cyrax's resets can't be regulated either, because there's so many ways to trigger an inescapable reset combo that the TOs can't just say "Okay, so here's a list of the fifty ways we know of that you can trap an opponent into an inescapable reset, you're not allowed to do any of these"; furthermore, what if someone like Tony T or J360 comes along, and busts out a new reset that isn't on that list? Christ, every time I talk to J360, he has a new Cyrax reset, and each one he shows me is more ridiculous than the last. It's futile to try and control Cyrax's resets for this reason, and so no one even tries. Quan Chi's rune trap also falls under the same category as Kabal's old block infinite and Cyrax's old bomb trap: How can you say "Okay, you can't link EX runes into block strings at all" without placing overwhelming restrictions on the character's options?
This isn't even a matter of ignorance, it's just a matter of sheer stupidity: You couldn't taken a few seconds to get those little neurons in your head clicking, longer if needed, and conclude that none of the other resets in this game have ever been regulated. If it was as easy as just banning them, Cyrax wouldn't have a single balance issue worth mentioning in competitive play (that we know of, anyway). How the hell do you expect TOs to say "Okay, so you can't do this specific combo with Smoke because it gives a guaranteed reset, you're just not allowed to do it"? Even if they do, it becomes the same issue as Cyrax: Obviously, getting a guaranteed reset with Smoke is just a matter of specific positioning, so there's no one way to land it consistently. There are probably a hundred ways to set your opponent up for the exact positioning needed, and so again, it goes back to the Cyrax issue: How can you regulate that? How can you expect to cover every possible method of attaining the reset, enforce it as a ban list and then just pray to your religious deity du jour that a new method isn't found?
I keep seeing you attack CD Jr, ostensibly for no reason at all. You have no right to attack him out of nowhere, and that clearly isn't stopping you. You accuse him of being arrogant for... What, withholding information that could potentially harm this game's reputation, now at this crucial point in its lifespan? I actually spoke to him about this yesterday, and he told me he tweeted Hector Sanchez about his guaranteed reset in the hopes that the reset will be hotfixed out, because no one should have consistent access to it. Not him, not you, not me, not a living soul. Consider that Smoke is widely regarded as a top ten character, and sometimes top five, WITHOUT the means of consistently achieving the reset: What is it going to do to the game's balance if he gets that? What will happen if the guaranteed reset becomes common knowledge?
Get the fuck out. Stop constantly attacking the guy for withholding potentially gamebreaking information, IN THE INTEREST OF THE COMMUNITY, as though that makes him selfish or arrogant. Nevermind that you clearly don't understand how tournament regulations work if you think that a T.O. can just snap his fingers and ban this reset. You obviously don't know your head from your ass, which explains why everything that comes out of your mouth is a load of shit.
