Memorial Video for MK player The Prophet

As some of you may know. The Prophet, poster on srk, passed away earlier this year. He was a close personal friend of mine and DreemerNJ's and helped pioneer the revival of the 2D MK community with us over the last 5+ years. I have, along with some friends, put together a video as sort of tribute to his passion for fighting games, and the desire to learn and become better at them. He was a competitive player at virtually every MK game, but his interest in fighting games didn't stop there.

This is a compilation of match video clips from various players at a number of different tournaments, including some UMK3 footage featuring Ryan himself. Most of this highlights high level play with specific characters he loved in many of the different games he loved, particularly characters in uphill battles.

Games include: UMK3, SF3, SFA3, SSF2T, Tekken 5, SC, MvC2 and others.

Its amazing how much he knew, and how well he did while focusing on non-mainstream characters.

I've never met anyone that could so clearly define his or her own beliefs.

When I get a computer able to run a video editting program again I'll be contributing more to this.

Ryan had a tendency to lean towards the bigger characters in the games, and making something out of them, which is why the focus is a lot of Hugo, Astaroth, Marduk, Zangief, Jax, etc.

if you guys are willing to do a 2dn tribute vid, it would be cool seeing him talking and chilling out, not just playing don't u think? :wink:

I don't have any video footage of him other than his commentary during match vids, which is kind of muffled. He is most remembered for phrases like:

"You're going to get Blacked Out"

"Those same tired tactics aren't going to help you"

"I can see right through your skills just like your transparent trash talk"

"Chi-town training won't save you"

"Your (insert character here) is corny"

"That was a gift"

"That was garbage"

"That game is so tired"

"That was bullshit"

"No!!!"

"That was questionable"

"A monumental mistake"

"Stupid! Stupid!"

"Super jump kick..."

"Invincibility frames"

"Perfect uppercut"

etc.

I just finished watching the video... I never knew him, but I can tell from what everyone here says about him that he was a wonderful person, I hope he has found peace.

Even though I never met the prophet nor got the chance to play him, I'm sure he was a great player.R.i.P. Ryan "The Prophet" Hutnick.

His Jax is bad ass. I'm so jealous of Ryan & DC

Super great video. I never met or knew of him, but I wish he was around to show me some Jax. :cry:
