Question Is Tom Brady a top 10 player?

To be honest, if you are doing all time, then get mike out of here. won 3 tourneys early MK9 and hasnt done anything in over a year and a half.

there are ONLY 3 players who have delivered in the top from the very first tourney to current day.. PL, REO, and myself. Only one person has won majors from vanilla MK9 to the last revision, PL. After PDP, 16bit began to place top 16 in majors and top 5 at EVO2011, making 16 Bit, REO, PL, and myself the only players to place from MK9's earliest days to current day.

If there were an all time list, the question wouldnt be "Is Tom top 10?", it would be "Is Tom top 5?".

Also....

The Debate of who is the absolute best ALL TIME is between PL and REO. PL is the only one to win in every version of the game, including back to back wins at EVO. REO has placed top from day 1 and won his first major at Devastation 2011. he has won several majors since then, including 2 MLG events and the last NEC. The debate is between those 2 only, and only CDjr can come in after and finish the top 3 players of all time.
idk man seeing how ive never not gotten top 8 since evo 2011 i feel im doing alright too

Who would be the faces on MK's version of Mount Rushmore ?

I asked this question once in a stream and 16 bit liked it... Think it would be cool if someone made a thread and Photoshopped the MK faces on the monument...

I say the 2 guaranteed faces are Reo and Brady , the other 2 faces are debatable...

Thats actually an easy question. Tom Brady, REO, CDjr, and EGP Tyrant. I took the obvious PL out because his stock is so low right now he is in foxygrandpa status of washed up.

It has now been 1 year officially that you have consistently placed top. You are without question top 10 all time. The only thing that separates you from the top 3 is they have several major tourney wins.

I think Brady would be a top 10 player if he mained a better character
LBSH.. I could make 9999999999999 top 8's and still never be called top 10. I have placed top consistently in every era where the game has evolved and in every version of the game. If me placing top consistently isnt enough, then nothing is. Fact is that because I cannot compete in MLG, that is held against me. So, no matter what I do, it will never be enough. Proof of that is simple...I am the only consistent top 8 placer from day 1 to not be considered top 10.

I dont know why that is, maybe its the Brady double standard.. but if anyone else had my resume ppl would shout "top 10". However, because its me, it just inst enough. In the public opinion, I would need to win a major to be considered top 10, but this is not the case for anyone else. I dont mind the double standard or peoples hate or bias against me, at the end of the day my accomplishments will sit in stone and cannot be taken away, while peoples words fade away with the breeze.

oops when over the top 10 ...
You just shafted yourself by doing this. Right there I can see clearly that your top 10 also has players that cannot be in the top 10, yet you put them there. Tom Brady is very high caliber player, limited by his character, and yet still excels where many would fail.

Tom Brady vs Showtime showed everyone on stream just how powerful his playstyle is against Sonya and made Showtime looked like a tamed Lion. Not many people can do that to Showtime.

It was just 1 set, Showtime is a great player. Great players beat great players, it doesnt mean Showtime wont show up to the next major and beat me and everyone else.

If we're going by our new professional way of determining stuff like this based on results.. Then a player is considered top10 based on their wins and losses against other players that are also top10.

Which would probably be something like:

REO, Maxter, PerfectLegend, Pig, CD Jr. MIT, DJT, Dizzy, 16 Bit, Detroit (his stock might have dropped slightly, though).

Tyrant's stock is variable lately.. He was solidly in the top10, but he's been going through some stuff at the last couple of big tourneys. He is unquestionably in the 'extended top10', though.

(Also if we're honest, m2dave is coming for Detroit's spot.. If he gets one more top8 finish, he's undenialbly in the top10. And Sonic Fox is as talented as anyone else in that group; so if he keeps winning we can probably put him in the 'extended top10').

So the group of players 'at a top10 level' would be something like REO, Maxter, PL, Pig, Jr., MIT, DJT, Dizzy, Bit, Detroit, Tyrant, m2dave, and SonicFox.

If you have as many current wins as losses against that group of players, than you can be rightfully considered an 'extended top10' player. Otherwise, you should be considered outside of top10.

However, who the top10 players are, is a bit of a guess, until we start putting the actual results together.

Now allow me to sneak back out of this thread as fast as possible before Tom Brady blows me up.

i like the people who say he isnt top 10, you have guys praising people who dont even consistenly place top 8, counterpick and dont even know some matchups and you have brady who is consistent, thought to be very high lvl with the right character and who is consistent in his wins with a fish while consistenly facing 7-3 matchups and winning when other players counterpick yet still lose.

How the fuck is Tyrant stock variable? Top 8 at Anaheim, top 8 at evo 2012, did good at the arena, missed top 16 (Is that confirmed) at dallas, but got top 5 at Nec beating a ton of strong players. He also is a consistent winner in his region, top 4 at the last socal regional, and 9th at evo 2011 before all of jaxs buffs that CDjr abused to get his only tourney win using 100 percent jax at season beatings 2011. Fuck, tyrant is arguable the strongest WC player beside DJT, and MIT in the history of mk9. He is top ten player PERIOD

Umm, I enjoyed it. Both players played solid, and the better player won that day of course. I was slightly happy that Tyrant won though because some dumb ass in the stream chat said Tyrant struggles against sub zeros because of course losing to djt sub zero 100 years ago means you don't know a MU.

Btw all you ass holes like Pig Of The Hut in the stream chat that day putting down tyrant for his MU knowledge when he lost to zak, you can hold dat shit.

Because you're putting your personal opinion into it.. Unless he's been doing better than REO Maxter Pig Jr. PL MIT DJT Dizzy Bit and Detroit, then you're going to have to make a case for him removing one of those people from the top10. Detroit won an MLG, making him one of only 4 mk9 players that can say they've ever won an MLG or an EVO. He was 9th at Raleigh which is his most current placement, again in the most stacked possible conditions.

This is exactly why it doesn't work to go based on your personal biases. Just like I think m2dave (with a working pad) is easily top10 material, but I can't justify swapping one of those guys for him until he proves it again.

Again, it's not an exact science.. Which is why it's easier to make an 'extended top10' until you actually crunch the results.

And as far as being one of the strongest west coast players, I agree -- But this isn't the west coast top10, so I'm not sure why you brought that up :).

This is easy I could make argument for alot of people on list, but, I am lazy so I just go with Mit. Amazing player top 8 at evo 2012 so did tyrant though, top 8 at dallas, cool, Tyrant got top 8 at anahiem, but wait TYRANT just got top 5 at NEC, a tournament with arguably harder Comp. Tyrant 2012 year so far > MIT, Tyrants 2011 year > MITs easily.

Wait pause. NEC had harder comp than Anaheim and Dallas?

Anaheim had PerfectLegend, Dizzy, Detroit, Pig, and Shory. Not to mention Woundcowboy and pboard, Cat, Xblades, and a host of other people.
Dallas had Pig, Dizzy, CD, Cat, Wound, PerfectLegend, etc. etc.

Lets be serious here. NEC was a heavy, heavy tournament, but Anaheim and Dallas were practically unbelievable.

Tyrant is #1 why did cd jr place higher?

Assuming you mean number 1 with jax because that is only category I ever put tyrant before CDjr in, well CDjr didn't even go 100 percent jax at NEC, typical. Lets get this straight CDjr is not a character specialist, and beside season beatings 2011 right after all jax buffes rolled out (Btw that SB top 8 was just vsm + m2dave). CDjr hasn't won a big tournament going 100 percent Jax and he never will again. Tyrant resume speaks for its self he has accomplished the most with that character threw out mk9 life span even before Jaxs buffs.
