It's been 55days since LS460L was on psn.
what about "kensidj" what is the exact time he was last on on ps3? Mike said 2-3 months, but I wanna know the exact days on ps3.

55 days is just at the 2 month marker lol, seems both Ls460 and Kensi were last on about the same times, interesting.....

It's like a murder mystery.
haha "clue"

me personally, im sticking with both ID's being kensi, way too much irony here. both last seen 2 months ago, one sells the car that the other uses for a screen name, yeah....no, Ive seen enough evidence for me.

I know some of you are hardcore recruiting and looking for more players to increase the signup list. While I absolutely appreciate this, I need to remind you that anyone who has been banned from this site is not permitted to enter (if you have to ask, chances are that person is banned.)

About 12 to 18 months ago I played Kensidj on og MK2. On probably 4-5 occasions, I would win the first 9 or 10 matches and he would leave. I was in shock because I always heard he was one of the best. I even messaged Caldwell and asked him how this was happening consistently. I think Mike said the same thing happened with him. IDK if Kensi was rusty or what?

That was probably around the same time I last played LS460L. I found him WAY harder to beat with my Kitana/Mileena. He 8 streaked me in Reptile mirrors. I've always tried getting him to play, coz not many people could confuse me like LS460L, but he never accepted my invites.

I definitely don't think he should be allowed to morph into top tier, but excluding morphs all together would be the easiest way to go about it.
I'm discussing it with Ththuvhul. It can only be one of two options: morph into the same tier (Kitana & Lao) or ban morphing altogether.

So here's the ruling on Shang and morphing...

Just like in the February tourney, morphing is banned altogether. If you morph by accident or intentionally, the player using Shang Tsung will be declared dead and be forced to move up to the next tier level.

The only suggestion I would make is that the Shang player has to forfeit the particular round that he morphs in, not the entire match. Forfeiting the entire match seems a little harsh given how easily morphs occur by accident.

Originally we had discussed DQ'g the player altogether just like if the player had gone for the Smoke fight and lost, but that was unfair since morphing can occur accidentally. At least with the Smoke battle you are triggering it on purpose.

I'm fine with a 1-round loss as opposed to the match. Done.
 
Did we ever discuss if Shang was allowed to morph?

I think shang should be able to morph into whoever the hell he wants to besides JAX, Mil, Liu, Kitana and maybe Raiden. Every other character should be allowed.

The problem is that the integrity of the tier format would be compromised. This is supposed to test individual tier levels and Shang has an unfair advantage in that regard.
 
I know how to morph into different people and you cant accidently turn into mil i know that for a fact. I think most people here competeing in this tournment dont have time for errors and pretty much know what they are doing. Accidental morphs rarely happen so, my suggestion if the other person morphs on accident it should depend on the time limit left on the clock. Shangs morph time last about 15 seconds around there . If you have 99 seconds to complete the match why can't people have enough sportsmanship just to let the other opposing character change back.
