Two things...
1. I did not mention Sub-Zero's tier position because I was "crying". I mentioned it in response to the notion that I went from a top 3 placer to a top 4 placer to now a top 8 placer who does on some occasion get 4th/5th or even miss top 8 and place 9th. Also as a player who will place top but not win. I would bring up SZ's tier position because I was trying to say that it became harder and harder to place top not because I was "falling off", but because the character was getting worse. I obviously should have said it better back then but probably should have said nothing at all and just continue to place and not pay attention to what the haters say.
2. The vast majority of this community are MUCH better players than I am. That being said, in MK9 I still accomplished much more than players considered to be better then I was as I went on to accomplish one of the best and most consistent resumes in that game.
Something that (for whatever reason) I just didn't let sink in back then was that it doesn't matter how good or bad people think you are or who is actually a better player, what matters is what you accomplish and what you do with what ability you have. On TYM people saying "x" player is better can somehow hold more weight then "x" player has accomplished more. If you produce better results than those who are much better or are considered to be, then to quote
