Man, screw my ambitions to make it to tourneys. I'm making a rocket to get to this planet and sell it for like ten trillion dollars.

Only cuz I thought u didn't play MK9...I still wanna do that KI show too.LOL, they're only interested in me if I'm talking KI, not MK.<-- this means I'm just kidding
I'll talk to you more about it in PMs, but I have more to offer about MK9 that just that of a player's point of view.
Thank You. Their logic for Sektor's placement is absurd. Now a days, if someone does well at a tourney, it automatically defaults to the character and not the player. Can the players get any props instead?I'm all for hype and various rivalries, but the challenge issued in this podcast simply doesn't make sense.
A Sektor mirror will hardly prove whether Sektor has major deficiencies as a character; it'll only prove which person is better acquainted with one specific match-up. There are too many variables that would make results entirely inconclusive. Skill difference, match-up experience, and Sektor's ability (or inability) to exploit these specific weaknesses (opposed to a different character) could all potentially invalidate a first-to-five seeking to prove Sektor's tier placement. Determining something like overall superiority, whether it be personal character mastery or character tier placement, requires a lengthy history of results and a certain degree of consistency.
Having STH and IKizzle play is great, and I'm sure it'd be a fantastic match, but claiming it would prove anything about a character's status on the tier list or a person's knowledge of the character as a whole (when the focus should be on performance in all match-ups) is somewhat outlandish.
I also disagree with some of the reasoning used in the podcast. Statements about IKizzle beating people who used "better" characters were used to reinforce the statement that Sektor is roughly seventh overall. Once again, there are simply too many variables for a statement like this to hold weight. This would only be applicable with consistency over a long span of time, not after a guy meets and plays people for the first time(?) throughout a single weekend. MLG may very well lend credence to the exposure of Sektor or STH, but it'll be in the tournament, not in a first-to-five mirror-match.
That said, I'd much rather see STH and 16-Bit play. There's a genuine backstory and something can most assuredly be proven. Maybe this will be possible one day.
On a side note, it feels as though an extreme degree of trash talk is becoming a fad. I noticed that, shortly following the VSM vs Mid-West 5 v5, people started talking much bigger. One can safely assume that this is because such behavior led to a hugely successful event. Hopefully this doesn't doesn't get out of hand and breed too much hostility because the thing I've always appreciated about this community was the, well...
7th is probably an exaggeration, maybe because its frustrating that no Sektor will acknowledge how good his tools are, but I think 13th is am exaggeration as well.
Yeah IMO mirror matches do nothing to show who is better with a character. A mirror match just decides who can play the mirror better.
Thanks for supporting my taste in scarfs. You could always borrow it if you would just ask.
There are no official matchup charts dude they are as unofficial as our very own opinions. IKizzle beat a lot of the characters you listed quite handily with Sektor at FR. IKizzle is a great player, but that also means Sektor has the tools to deal with them.
Just to show the small scale of difference all this drama has cost between myself and a few others... if I had to put Sektor somewhere on the tier list he would go right below every character mentioned in your B tier. For me, Sektor is located around Scorpion and Freddy, either in the lower end of your B tier or C tier depending on how you want to classify it. And out of all these characters listed, I think his bad match ups are with 2 A tier characters, 1 B tier character, and Freddy whom is not listed.
Well mayo, you are getting into a section of science that I was trying to avoid; defining what is "life". But I believe the parameters were intelligent life (thought based on the republican primary, this is debatable), so the math would still hold there. Without getting into any vector calculus, we can assume that there are only 4 dimensions (not true, but for the purpose here), in which case, the "space" part of "space time" is the only thing being questioned here. I can indeed say that the probability is zero as it is 5 sig figs below zero (x10^-5). The amount of galaxies is only relevant in terms of space, and does not factor time into it. Sure, there may be life out there somewhere now, but by the time the light of their civilization reaches our planet, they are likely long gone. Since time is nether a constant, nor linear, it can be safely argued that life is not present no, outside of what we see. Maybe there is, but due to the limitations of light itself, we will likely never know this save for the advent of some space warping technology. But this is now entering the realm of fantasy and departs from science altogether. This planets entire existence is only about 4.6 billion years, with life being on this planet about 2 billion. I checked the math, its not 25%. Its actually about 14%, and this would get you an F in an english exam if I'm not mistaken =)
I don't think he's 9 personally. IMO, Sektor being above 9 is trolling, 9 is wrong, 10 is reasonable, 11 is good, and to me, he is 12. Which is still a very good spot, and much above average. You'd be lying if you can tell me that even 4 of those 13 characters in my previous post are below Sektor. What's hard about this game's character rankings is that a numbered list is kind of silly, because there are about 5 tier groups, with everyone in each group sort of equal. IMO, there's 3 in S, and between 7 and 9 in each of the other 3, and 2 in the bottom tier. Of course there's no official matchup charts, but I looked at the general consensus over all the character boards by the top players, and got an average idea of what everyone agrees upon. That's better than 1 person's opinion.
I think any alien life that was intelligent would have gone through primitive beginnings, and therefore would have developed supernatural beliefs. Then you get religion. And our world likely won`t survive our religious differences combined with destructive technology. It`s hard to imagine any alien civilization getting to the point of intergalatic travel before first destroying themselves over their own geographically-unique religious delusions, land/wealth/resource disputes, and globally destructive weapons.
You know what is worth posting a picture of a facepalm.
I've already acknowledged IKizzle is a good player so there's no need to make that point. But VSM doesn't have good Sektor experience? As far as I know this is the same VSM SwiftTomHanks rants about how they expose Sektor's weaknesses and he's not that good. They clearly have an idea of what to do.
Hmm, probably, although all this talk of a mirror match not really deciding who is the better player would have applied to our match, so it'll have to wait until I learn Scorpion or Raiden better. Then it will be legit.
lolololYou know what is worth posting a picture of a facepalm.
You dodging Pig Of The Hut 's money match

Pig said part of your back out agreement was a written apology on tym? Am I mistaken in hearing that, or did I miss the post?Hmm, probably, although all this talk of a mirror match not really deciding who is the better player would have applied to our match, so it'll have to wait until I learn Scorpion or Raiden better. Then it will be legit.
Also did you not challenge Shujinkydink to a money match and then back off? I'm a nice little Kettle, no need to call me black
So you play IKizzle, and he ALSO tells you he is not top 10, yet you don't think he is right.
