Yup, Pepperidge Farm Remembers that people were claiming MKX was dead like 6 months after it came out:

https://testyourmight.com/threads/top-three-reasons-mortal-kombat-x-is-considered-dead.56734/

Reading through the thread it's like deja-vu. For some reason, we keep doing the same things with each new release. At some point we've gotta learn that our community is the only thing that lasts from game to game, regardless of what people think about the current game.

'Rose-colored glasses' definitely influence the way we see past games. MKX was absolutely trashed by our community, but it was given a massive influx of ESL cash and promotion to balance that out.

No one will like every game (MKX wasn’t my cup of tea either), but we need to learn to let the people who like a game play it and just move on and support the scene.

They are trying to go the right direction, but I think even you would agree that there are too many characters that have way too many safeguards on them. Not only is it not fun to play the game, it’s not fun to be in the community. You can’t even have a normal discussion about the game because this is a community that swears every character is broken, every character is downplayed, and everyone is carried.

Considering you've engaged in that same discourse, I think you've missed the point of his reply entirely.

"Look at that knee."

"The Ice Clone doesn't function properly."

"Hey guys, this Tom Brady. The ice clone does function properly."

"Hey guys, this Tom Brady. The ice clone does function properly."

For someone who claims to have been around for so long, you sure have a different recollection of history. Look at that knee was not something that was made a big deal of by me, it was something that I only said one time in the community made it a thing. I actually had no idea what they were even talking about until it was pointed out to me by Paulo. The vid was an informative video showing all the ways to punish ice cone in the corner and then one example I showed Jax doing his knee right through it and punishing me and I said “look at that knee”. The reason for that video was everybody was saying that subzero was 100% safe of everything he did as long as you were cornered and he was standing behind the clone.

The ice clone doesn’t function properly was a single video in which I highlighted a bug with the ex clone, which was fixed in the following patch hence I never mentioned it again because they fixed it. It was not a rage video, people remember it as such because it was remixed to a heavy-metal background song and presented as such.

The video about the ice clone does function properly was me saying that my original theory on what is causing the bug was wrong, that part of the clone is functioning properly, and then I went on to explain what is causing the bug with the ex ice clone and it was patched out two weeks later and fixed.

I’m not saying that I haven’t had my crazy moments like the gas station video, all I’m saying is the examples you mentioned aren’t any of them. Sometimes I think you forget just how informative i once was and how much tech and strategy I came up with

 

The "this community" thing has always been a figment of Tom's imagination. 10 randoms and 1 semi known player says something and it's "this COMMUNITY!"

You must not be reading social media much then. Every five minutes all you do is hear about how everything is broken, every thing is being downplayed, and everyone is being carried. You have to be a fool if you think this is my imagination and it’s only 10 people in the whole community that talk like this.

This summarizes you better than I ever could.

I Don’t Give a Shit About “Tom Brady”

I got a DM on Twitter from someone I’m familiar with in the Netherrealm games sub-community the other day, and it was a simple question: “Have you ever written about Tom?” “Tom” is “Tom Brady…

I disagree with Tom on a good 70% of MK1 things but he’s not wrong here. The discussions about MK1 is fucking miserable, every game has intolerable discussions about games but it’s been particularly bad with NRS one’s going back to MKX & getting worse each game.

The only one I think was worse than current was IJ2 for reasons I still don’t understand to this day. Not even SFV during the 8 Frames of Lag days was this miserable.

Not reading all that, is it about the donation money and Uber receipt thing?

Only a bit. More of an overview of our scenes resident clown, with receipts.

Ahhh cause that’s what did me in.

I’m appreciative of the tech he shared for Sub-Zero’s corner game in MKX, the armor break looping 50/50 after the F12 knockdown that lasted up until the 2 hit armors were added. And the work that went into continually developing it during and after the big October of 16 patch.

But the treatment of the fans is very disappointing

 

Only a bit. More of an overview of our scenes resident clown, with receipts.

i wad a top player in MK9, IGAU, and MKX. You’re opinion doesn’t change that. Hardly a resident clown. Even after retiring after MKX i did attend one 80 man regional tournament for MK11 where I placed top 8. To say that article is heavily jaded and false, would be an understatement

I wasn't going to say anything about the rest of it, but you would not have considered someone to be a top player in MK9 who had the exact same resume that you did in MKX. The bar moved as soon as you were on the other side of it.

I'm not going to pile on here though. The discussion was about the game, and as soon as it gets moved to personal bickering it always gets derailed. This one's just between you and me, after the discussions we've had.

I'm simply commenting on your use of "this community" otherwise I would have quoted you and referred to the topic at hand.

The topic at hand has been beat to death. There is nothing left to talk about. Player count isn't going to grow significantly unless (now) basic features are brought into the game. Gameplay is the least of the problems.

 

i wad a top player in MK9, IGAU, and MKX

I was just reading and didn't want to comment but man... Have you no shame or dignity at all?

Like seriously, nothing you did after IGAU... one should be proud of.

In MK X you and REO were both beta testers for the game and used that unfair advantage for the first lets say 3-6 months after the game was released(back then unlike now testers weren't banned from tournaments for the first several months) to win some tournaments, after that you "retired" coz actuall top players like Sonic and many others were already way past your reach and obviously nothing changed since then.

But that's nothing compared to the lies, taking people money amoung other things. This was proven many times already, so im not gonna beat on dead horse. Like i said already few times - if i ever saw you in real life i wouldn't even shake your hand, you don't deserve it.

You do however deserve all that shit and more you're getting from people for quite some time now.

Today you guys consider top 32 guys top, i was also ranked by the players one of the top 30 players in the world in MKX. Certainly didn’t have the resume for top 20 and you are correct that I wouldn’t give much if any credit to someone outside the top 20 of mk9… but yup, funny how things change when after 30 years one finds themselves on the other side of the fence.

Again revised history. I was still a very strong player during the life of the game, not some scrub using tester adv.

Also… Still on the money issue?? no one lost a single dollar of that $500. And it’s funny how now that I’m making around $200,000 a year I’ve given out close to $10,000 this year alone to people in the community who come to me for help with serious issues in their personal life. This was just recently documented on Twitter by a few people that have received a good amount of money from me that came out to talk about some of the good that I do. It’s funny that people talk about $500 that nobody actually lost but you seem to ignore the almost $10,000 that people come to me for yearly to get help for in their private life. The fact that this is swept under the rug shows ppl are more interested in peddling an agenda than the actual truth.

I don’t care if you shake my hand or not, more people would shake mine over yours because unlike you I’m actually there when they need help most.

 

you are correct that I wouldn’t give much if any credit to someone outside the top 20 of mk9…

Yeah

Today you guys consider top 32 guys top

It goes without saying that the scene is multiple times bigger in 2024 than it was a decade ago. 100 people (and in many cases, less) was considered a major in MK9-MKX, and now Frosty Faustings had 155 and people say the scene is dying if there's 640 at EVO.

NEC 8 months into MKX was considered a big major at just over 200 people, but 277 at Combo Breaker 8 months into MK1 was claimed to be the sign of a dying game.

 

Yeah

NEC 8 months into MKX was considered a huge major at just over 200 people, but 277 at Combo Breaker 8 months into MK1 was said to be the sign of a dying game.

Look, I’m retired and I certainly agree that things are bigger now than they were a decade ago. I had a very impressive run over the years I competed and I’m certainly not a top player anymore. But for people to act as if I was this scrub is a far stretch

 

Again revised history. I was still a very strong player during the life of the game, not some scrub using tester adv.

I didn't say you weren't a very strong/strong/good - call it what you like - player. You weren't a top player and you had an unfair advantage. And like i said, several months of the game release you weren't even in consideration for top player of MK X or XL later on. Nothing changed since then.

Also… Still on the money issue?? no one lost a single dollar of that $500

Oh so.. that makes it okay then? You lied to people, you stole from people but after you got cought you gave it back. So i guess that's okay in your mind? That's just sad.

There isn't anything funny about that nor hard to understand. The shit you did isn't just erased from people minds coz after that you did some good. Never worked like that and never will. The fact you don't understand that simple fact is again, sad.

I don’t care if you shake my hand or not, more people would shake mine over yours because unlike you I’m actually there when they need help most.

And that's based on what? You just make up shit as you go, again.

You have no idea how much i make in a year and how much of that i've given away to help others nor how many people would shake my hand vs you and i see no point in posting numbers like you did to prove my point.

One thing is certain however, i'm a honorable person, i never stole anything let alone money from people and i don't lie. Unlike you.

One thing is certain however, i'm a honorable person, i never stole anything let alone money from people and i don't lie. Unlike you.

I have never stolen anything from anyone ever. There was never anything done with any intent to keep any money and no money was ever kept. There was never actually a scam to take money from anyone. This lie that I gave money back after I got caught is nothing more than a lie. I tweeted the night of the tournament when they were questions if I was there, I was not there and it would be refunding everyone. Everyone was refunded the following day, a full 24 hours before my public execution. By the time that was going on, everyone had already got their money back.

Also, ranked by the players I was considered one of the top 33 MkX players in the world and this was ranked by the other top players. This had nothing to do with an unfair advantage. I wasn’t actually a tester, a guest tester plays the game for two weeks and then the game that is launched is nothing like it was in beta. The notion that I was never actually top at anything and abused some unfair advantage is nothing more than a narrative that has been repeated so many times it has become the truth to many people.

Moreover, this thread is derailed, but I did not derail this thread. I was merely discussing the game, but anytime I discuss the game, It is always met with not other discussion about the game but that I’m some crook who is also a scrub and too stupid to understand fighting games. Then its “when was the last time I did anything”, or that I was never good but abused some unfair advantage. what’s funny is almost everyone that comes at me like this has never done anything and is not even qualified to be in a discussion of “when was the last time you did anything” when it comes to me because for them the last time they did anything was never.

 

Ok, since this thread is on the verge of becoming a huge dumpster fire.. Can we get back to talking about the patch?

Lots of interesting things happening with Cyrax/Sektor/Noob. And a lot of people seem to be happier with specific chars and kameos they like.

For what it’s worth, me and @Tom Brady have had plenty of issues and disagreements over the years. But he’s always been a good FGC friend and has done a lot for the community. He certainly has made mistakes and I understand there’s people that’ll never forgive him. But let’s keep this about the game(s). I know the personal stuff matters and is relevant, but not something that really should be rehashed in this thread.

 

The levels of hate for Tom brady are insane.The very same people that preach positivity and are like: mental health you guys,no bullying/ harrasment,proceed to do the most vile things and fuel hate based on lies.
Just because for some reason its ok to hate on tom brady.

Youd think he is a mass murderer or some shit based on the treatment he gets.

People will say it’s not hate, but the fact that they will never allow me to move on and never allow me any redemption for anything just shows that they want to keep a negative image. They continue to bring up one thing over and over, And while what actually happened isnt exactly what people think, I was certainly wrong for what I did and said how truly sorry I really was many times, but of course there is so much hatred that nobody cares.

I’ve tried very hard to move on from this And have done a lot of good both before, and after that, but there was so much hate for me long before it ever happened that people do not allow any type of redemption and will not allow me to move on.

This is demonstrated by the fact that people will always say “ you can’t expect us to just move on from this”, but when it comes to all the good that I do the same people then say “ nobody cares about any of that”. People take that approach because they don’t want any type of redemption. They want me to be known one way and will fight to make sure that nothing good about me ever comes out. It is absolutely acceptable and encouraged to hate me. People will try to gaslight and say it’s not true, but you can find clear examples of this literally in this threat

At this point, I just want the thread to get back to the topic.
