Hype, yeah. Money, nope. Participants/Competition, yeah. Fan-base, nope.
We both know which game would make it to EVO, if there was a poll vote between UMVC3 and MK9.
It seems you left out the actual quality of the game. Which, I'm not that big of a fan of MK9, but at least there's not infinites, touches of death, X-Factor, etc.
UMVC3 is as broken as it gets, but that's not the point.
I don't consider Smash Bros. a fighting game, yet it will make it to the evo, because it had more money behind it and more fans as well. And damn, I would even go as far to say that Smash Bros. would win over MK9 in that vote-poll as well.
CD Jr plays multiple, REO plays multiple and is top in every single one of them, PL plays multiple and is top in them, a lot of the top players play multiple fighting games or other games.
I'm not the one who initiated this. Champ is. I'm not talking trash either, I'm speaking objectively. It's a FACT that the Capcom players can't beat MK9 players in MK9, it has been PROVEN. The best of the best, Jwong, ChrisG, have TRIED, and have failed. This is not my opinion.
Wasn't there a salty thread a while ago, where PL said CD jr told everyone he was going to body everyone in SFxT, because he is the master at that game and in the end it didn't really happen?
If that's how it was, then it's a good example.
But you know, just like no one from the Capcom FGC is able to destroy everyone in the MK9 community, the people from the MK9 community can't do jackshit to the Capcom fighting games community.
I think I never even ever read a MK9 name in one of the bigger Capcom game tournaments, while I did read few Capcom names in MK9 tournaments (like for example Chris G and Justin Wong who in fact play A BUNCH of various fighting games and manage to get wins over respected MK9 pro players like 16 Bit).
More, yeah. But REO can and is compared to Daigo and Justin Wong. Just because he doesn't play SF or Marvel doesn't mean he can't be compared to them.
I do think that REO is amazing.
I'm registered on this site since September last year (I even registered before), because of Injustice, but I was watching MK9 streams way before and enjoyed the games, especially REO's, as well PL's and ... my favorite MK9 player Tom Brady, but let's be honest here... REO is neither Daigo and neither Justin Wong and he never will be.
Daigo is a living legend in the fighting community and Justin Wong is a miracle boy, who picks up every fighting game and manages to make a name for himself in that game.
REO is just a guy who is good at MK9 (oh and he also uses the best character in a game that often is heavily based on match ups).
All I see is you waving your pom poms like a delusional fan boy. The fact that you would even suggest that he will probably put more effort than anyone else and imply that he's the only person making "sacrifices" is what is ignorant here. Stop being a cheerleader.
This was quite vulgar.
Really? You're surprised that we're getting hype and firing back to someone calling us trash? And what's even more retarded is that you're saying WE shouldn't be "talking shit" back? What kind of backassward logic is that? He is free to run his mouth but the minute we reply in an equal manner, WE'RE the ones that are out of line?
Oh, he's just trying to hype up the game and community. Oh okay, and we aren't allowed to that. We're taking this to heart and taking it personal. We can't ever be like F.Champ and try to build a competitive and hype atmosphere. Only the Capcom guys can do that. Got it.
You don't seem to know who FilipinoChamp is.
Out of all the Capcom pro players (mainly the americans who concentrate on UMVC3) he is the one who talks the most trash and calls out the most people. It's not unusual for him to come up with stuff like that and you shouldn't take that all too seriously.
But when we have a community like TYM, which should be a respectable community and all of a sudden they start bashing someone like Storms for creating such a thread and start insulting Capcom players like maniacs, then it does look weird.
Because ... what we have now is one trash-talking guy who is known for that and a whole community that is supposed to be awesome trash-talking back in the most retarded way. If you agree with that, then I can't help you.
