POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

[Brack1sh]

lmao honestly that was more cringey than badass. You get up in the wrong person's face like that and it's not going to end as nice as that did.

 

[xWildx]

There’s a backstory here, so I understand it. However, my props go to Scar for staying classy.

 

[B. Shazzy]

Less of a popoff, more of a babyrage. A good popoff a player like Scar would prob respect if done well but instead he gave him the finger. And rightfully so

 

[ChoseDeath]

All these people giving scar props for not starting a fist fight like that's some kind of high bar to clear lol

I think it is. I couldn't have done that. No one gets in my face like that. Some of us show color. I thought Scar handled that like a grown man SHOULD, I'm just not capable in a like circumstance.

 

[ChoseDeath]

I think he got a little too close up in Scar's face. Once you start touching or getting into personal space it's inappropriate. If he stood 2 feet further away and did the same thing it would have been cool.

Couldn't agree more!

 

[ChoseDeath]

It went much farther than that but people are underselling it. Totally deserved, people in this thread are saying scar was an adult for not getting physical (lets be real, 99% of people would not have, you're on stage) but how is he an adult for getting in a ridiculous spat on twitter and trying to discredit a 17 year kid?

I blame the TOs for letting it go as long as it did, Buffalo should have cut off way sooner, but Scar deserved the blowup for sure.

Well, maybe he did. I thought he handled it very well, BUT if what you say is true then there you go. Perhaps he totally deserved it.

 

[just_2swift]

I mean the stinkin dude got really close to Mr Scar's face and possibly got spit on his face. Scar could have 'obtained' a clump of his hair in his hand and returned the favor (the gentlemanly thing to do in this case, possibly).

Yeah. Buddy would've definitely got folded.

 

[wsj515]

How is anyone giving props to Scar. This is the Raptor/anxiety situation all over again.

 

[asddgd]

I remember beefing with buffalo on trmk because my opinion was that mk9 is (and always will be) better than mkx

 

[PLAYING TO WIN]

Fuck scar. He had it coming. Most people don’t know this but he is one of the biggest assholes in the scene.

 

[Invincible Salads]

meh, its fine, quit bein pansies

 

[jcbowie]

How is this at all different from Scar...? Just because he's in the guy's face talking shit instead of over twitter it's somehow worse? Come on man, if someone talks shit about you and you show them up like that then you're definitely entitled to talk how you like.

"Scar coulda hit him or something but he didn't what a pro" yeah I'm not giving a dude props because he didn't start a fight with a bigger guy because he was getting popped off at, deservedly too.

 

[MrArcher15]

Ok can somebody find the tweets that started this?

[LawAbidingCitizen]

All I could think was “cut your hair, ya damn hippie.”

Hey Nown my hair is beautiful and long. It blows in the wind too

 

[NothingPersonal]

I see nothing wrong. Buffalo reacted the way he felt he had to. He let his emotions out, that is all. Scar also did great, kept calm and took it like a man because he deserved it. There was beef between them and Buffallo had every right to pop off however he felt he needed to. No one got hurt and all is good.

 

[MrArcher15]

Ok so after looking at the tweets I can see how buffalo felt scar was discrediting him. It’s pretty hard to think he wasn’t with how scar replied with ft2 boys right after talking about their match. So now it’s rough for me, I believe buffalo took it too far but now idk I do see why buffalo went off like that and I think scar understands why he was so angry. I think everyone should read the tweets, then again buffalo did apologize......hmm ok they both on timeout. It’s the only way

 

[Grape Juice City]

What happened on stage today probably runs deeper than just Scar's tweet. I mean, look at the post on Dragon's twitter about Buffalo lol. Yeah it's mostly good natured ribbing, but it's obvious that the scene's narrative surrounding Sub's mechanics/players has been derogative for the better part of MK11's life span. You know, like TYM and Scorpion mains

So yeah, while it looked silly on my end, Buffalo felt it was justified, and that I can get behind.

 

[GothamInGray]

A Twitter beef =/= to the utter nonsense this "pop-off" was.

 

[Suavebeatz813]

Hitting the right buttons on a controller for a few rounds doesn't give you the right to be all up in somebody's face like that.

The entitlement alone to think you could do some shit like that without getting ya face bashed in is mind boggling.

This is why kids shouldn't be allowed to compete in the first place and "FT2 boyz" is not "SCAR WAS TALKIN MAD SHIT ABOUT BUFFALO"

Who raised you clowns?

ok so i agree he should not have been in his face and like you i thought all he said was ft2 boyz as well but if you click on the link there was more to that and buffalo was actually pretty nice in the tweets he just sounded upset that scar possibly saw the match that way. Again i dont think he should be in his face but i dont know, the way scar was defending himself in those tweets didnt sound too good. It honestly seemed like he was discrediting him, and this is coming from someone who is more of a fan of scar than buffalo.

 

[jcbowie]

We're gonna get on Buffalo because "OMG HE WAS SO IN HIS FACE TOO FAR BRO TOOK IT TOO FAR"? Buffalo just isn't hiding behind a screen when he talks. Just because the shit you talk is on twitter doesn't mean that someone won't come back at you for it and it seems like people don't get that. Twitter talk is still talk with real people, Scar just ended up seeing the guy in person so he had to deal with it in person. Despite all the anger and being on stage with him? All Buffalo gave Scar was words, and that's no different from Twitter smack no matter how it might feel to you.

Y'all also act like Scar kept it mild because he's "truly professional" or because he's "being the bigger man," but honestly it seems to me like he's probably just smart enough not to get into it with a heated guy who's way bigger than he is. Kid or not, Buffalo's got Scar by 8 inches and 50 lb.

Pop offs for the most part are fine, they're hype, they're fun, etc

But this one was way too into the other player's personal space and lasted too long imo. It was a bit over the top tbh. Like you're really gonna shout in someone's face for that long over a twitter post, over a video game? lol K

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Fuck scar. He had it coming. Most people don’t know this but he is one of the biggest assholes in the scene.

Whoa

Pretty much this. If a guy is talking shit to you and you beat him, you get your moment to gloat, you earned that. You invade someone else's space like that, get so close that the other person can smell your breath? That's no longer gloating, that's you looking like you're trying to make this about more than a game.

It's not worth it. With how quickly a sponsor can drop you, why would you wanna put that money, your livelihood, at risk? Also, you're basically painting a target on your back, since other pros will see that you're easily triggered like that and use that as a weapon to get into your head and make you doubt yourself.
