When Hayatei played Ronin, or Scar played Demo, or DJT played Cage or Tremor, or Slayer played KJ, or when everyone played Tempest Lao, or Foxy with Mileena, people were all "oh god damn fucking hype" like those are supposed to be some sort of shit character that isn't/wasn't just as good as Alien is in his current state.
Alien players get extra hate despite there being several characters on his level... People act like anyone can go and place with Alien, and yet it's always Dragon, and now Tweedy gets a top 8.... I think it's messed up that even when they win, they lose. Weren't there like 3 Takedas in the ESL season 3 top 8?
