I've always enjoyed your matches, Reo. Your tactics are the perfect example of shedding the stupid rules that weigh other players down. If you are not doing everything you can, within the actual rules of the game, to win when playing competitively, then you are not playing MK9, but some made up version with made up rules.
I play on Xbox, but use a hitbox. It didn't instantly make me a smarter player, but over time allowed me to use less of my attention on execution, and more of it on tactics for the match. Because of that, I have been able to improve as a player, and at this point wouldn't want to play on any other controller. I think you should keep on keeping on and continue to lead through excellence.
Anyone that plays competitive games with the desire to win should read the article linked below. I don't know if Reo has read it, but he demonstrates it perfectly.
