Let's be serious here, everyone knows there are GREAT online players just as there are GREAT offline players. I've never heard one person say that because someone plays online they are free. Even though on some "shows" this is proclaimed to be truth. Just because someone plays online doesn't make them ass just like if someone goes to tournaments, it doesn't mean they are godlike (See yours truly, except 9th at winter brawl hold that shit.)

I think the main issue here, unless I am mistaken is online ONLY players getting their feelings hurt when offline players say their MU numbers are invalid. The game online is a shell of what it is offline. Yes, you can become a top player from training online like CURBOLICOUS and xKhaoTikx etc but that doesn't mean anything when it comes to real MU numbers. MU numbers are based off of frame data with no lag and matches being played at the highest level to the frame. If everyone could just jump out of frame traps like they do online, certain characters wouldn't be as good as they actually are offline. When a player like Pig Of The Hut is giving a match up number, he's giving it based off of playing the game at the highest level offline even though he trains online all the time. (feel free to correct me if i'm wrong here pig lol.)

Another thing, which I just witnessed today. If you've never been to an offline tournament you have NO right to diminish anyone's accomplishments offline. They earned that right by paying for transportation, hotel fee, registration fee, and practice. The fact is you could be the most godlike online player but if you've never won a match offline, then don't criticize someone who actually has. There is a world of difference playing in your living room and playing face to face with a player offline.

Basically what i'm saying here is that great players play online and offline. One of the coolest things to me is when an online only player starts joining the offline community. It adds another skilled player to the talent pool and adds intrigue and drama to the scene. I think more online players joining the offline scene is what could really keep this game going for a long time.

I have nothing against online players, except the ones that spout nonsense when they have't done anything at all. Every online player that has said anything, has backed it up. IE Curbo, Khaotic, and Tetra. I know all of them and they're all great players and great guys. You also can't discredit offline only players, because that's just stupid

Agreed.

I always viewed this like scientific journals and stuff.

Offline players are established known scientists and online people are unknown.

Offline people like established scientists and what not carry more weight than unknown people with their own theories just like online people.

For unknown people to get credit they either have to get their work peer reviewed by credible sources just how online people get their cred by playing well established players or perform well in an established environment.

Why? BECAUSE SCIENCE.

People wouldn't be so salty if the game wasn't utter shit.
MK9 is broken like the other MK games with at least one 10-0 matchup.
Who cares? Injustice is coming and they claim they learned from their mistakes!

Just because someone plays online doesn't make them ass just like if someone goes to tournaments, it doesn't mean they are godlike
Please ... teach those people this attitude.
All the horribly self-satisfied forum-trolling I'mAPro's need to learn this.

I honestly stopped caring when the smoke community blew me up for my find against b23~smokebomb.

I've learned alot from everyone. Offline, online. I've never really had beef with anyone, but i'm sure i've rubbed people raw a few times.

I just wish some of the ego's would.... perish. Clearly that isn't going to happen. But i'm sure this group can continue to prosper.

As long as the person talking actually knows the game and what is or is not supposed to work and it reflects in their gameplay then it shouldn't matter whether they play online or off.

Someone like Mr. Milleena, who we all know is extremely good, is a great example.
AFAIK, he's only been to one tourny and plays online fairly frequently, but everyone respects his play and values his input because he knows the game and plays well.

Curbo, Sonic, and I were top three at a stacked major. All three of us are online players. Online players are free tho apparently ...
