Mopped up is the new "back blown out"?

Absolutely.

If these players would spend less time on the forums and more time practicing they may go up a little more....

KDZ: stock up. Has become arguably the best Superman if only because he doesn't drop those 70% corner combos. Also has become one of the best showman, with awesome shit talking and poses and forcing Rico to rage quit might be the funnniest moment of the IGAU tournament season so far. Probably wants to murder Carl.

First of all there's no arguing he's the best supes in the business so drop that "arguably" stuff from your post. Second, in all of the matches i've watched on stream of his, he's missed the 69% combo only ONCE. Superman mains know this is ARGUABLY the most difficult combo in the game to pull off execution wise, and not only does he do it consistently but he does it with the pressure of being in a match, not in the lab. Major fuckin props to this man, never ceases to amaze

Yeah im on that KDZ dick right now...

Bring back "back blown out"!

When 16 bit becomes old and arthritic I want him to become a full time commentator. Pop offs and all.

We need commentary stocks... Bit, Brady, Blake,etc.....

I happen to think he is far and away the worst commentator of the lot. But to each their own.

I'm fining you 75k for saying no homo

Said it a million times...

KDZ is the absolute BEST Superman bar none.

Perfect Legend: Stock SKYROCKETED. One of the biggest raises in stock in the market's history. Carl demolishes Gross to win MK and places second in IGAU after a disappointing finish at UFGT. Notably using Black Adam, Batman and Doomsday in top 32 and proves it wasn't just Scorpion that caused him to level up. Carl now heads to Vegas a favorite in both games. Provided one of the great moments off stream where he mocked doing a People's Elbow to a napping CD Jr.

Chris G: Stock up. After all the Scorpion talk it is good ol' Ollie that wins CEO. Retroactively legitimizes UFGT and forces New York to stop bragging about how he never wins locals. In MK he eliminates Blake, showing us that most likely some poor hapless MK player will get Chris Ged at EVO.

REO: Stock down. Arrives in Orlando too late to enter MK and has a bizarre top 8 showing in IGAU where he chooses a washed up Batman and brand new Wonder Woman instead of the unbeatable bannable Scorpion. Appears lost in IGAU and unmotivated heading into EVO. A character crisis hurt REO last year. Will history repeat itself?

GGA Wafflez: Stock up. Places 3rd at MK, nearly overcoming Smoke's toughest MU. Beats Pig for the second time, earning his keep on the team as a player that can beat Kenshi for Dizzy and myself. In IGAU he had a good run, placing top 16 and winning money matches against Tom Brady. GL has apparently finally clicked with Tommy and GGA must now stop blowing him up and calling him free. For some reason it took Tommy a month to realize f+3 and GL zoning are good.

GGA 16 Bit: Stock down. A good top 4 finish in MK can't cover the fact that I again failed to deliver in the IGAU tournament. Now I head to EVO with less confidence and a normalized Killer Frost. At least with UFGT I had the excuse that I only lost to training partners. Getting mopped up by Harley is just bad.

Tom Brady: Stock down. Fails to place top 8 for the second time in a row. Had some clutch moments in top 32 off stream but in his match to get into top 8 he dropped everything against CD Jr. Needs to refocus and unemo going into EVO. On the bright side his bickering with Noobe provided great hotel shenanigans and helped cure my case of the emo.

KDZ: stock up. Has become arguably the best Superman if only because he doesn't drop those 70% corner combos. Also has become one of the best showman, with awesome shit talking and poses and forcing Rico to rage quit might be the funnniest moment of the IGAU tournament season so far. Probably wants to murder Carl.

Saltface and Deg: Stock up. Not one by two Harley players in the top 8. Who saw this coming? At least we can all stop pretending Harley is terrible because she doesn't have a good trait or whatever the current downplaying talking point is. Special props to Saltface for coming out to Cult of Personality as his theme music.

Pig of the Hut: Stock down. Once again gets mopped up by Kabal and places outside the top 8 in IGAU. Was the most emo I've ever seen on Sunday. Probably would have quit NRS games completely if had not been for Monday happening to be Pig's favorite day of the year: EVO brackets day. Pig is now spending every waking hour studying the EVO brackets like it's the Bar exam. I like to picture the Hut household with an unshaven Pig refusing to leave the living room(now dubbed the War Room). Pictures of the various top players plastered on the walls and the coffee table covered in mock brackets.

CD Jr: Stock down. Pops off on twitter about how Scorpion is beyond broken and he will prove it at CEO by...getting mopped up by Chris G and using Superman instead of Scorpion in top 32 and on. Then goes on twitter and says he doesn't care about the game anyway. CD Jr must take the cake for players who don't care about the game yet won't stop ranting about it on twitter.

Big D: Stock up. Finally returns to the top 8 in MK after a year of being on the bubble or washed up. Uses Nightwolf and has a hype match against Trepound and a fish on fish match with Cuban Guy's Baraka. MK has become so washed up and near death Baraka and Nightwolf are now fighting for a spot in the top 8. That is worse than the tournaments where Chris G sneaks into the top 8. In IGAU he gets bodied in pools but played well in casuals. Since he never played on stream we are left with only legendary tales of his Bane told by Pig.

Whaaat? Get the heck outta here. Bit, hilarious writeup as usual.

I can vouch for this. Wafflez won me a dollar in a bet against somebody when he beat Pig at UFGT in MK 9.

 

[ApocaLips]

Harley wasn't ever really downplayed. The Harley players seemed to think she was fine - it was just everyone else who refused to take her seriously, then they got blown up for it. That's kinda the opposite of downplaying.

I wouldn't sweat losing to Harley either. I've always thought that's a rough matchup for KF.

I'd also say Pig's stock is back up. His attitude going into EVO is really good. Tom and Reo are definitely going to flop though at this rate.

My money is on KDZ to take the whole thing though, although I can see Chris G coming in from losers, downloading KDZ over extended sets, and ultimately taking the whole thing.

We seem to have a lot of good ole boys from MK9 expecting to automatically be tops at injustice and getting blown up and emo when they lose. The ability to start from scratch and rebuild in a new game will be an important part of who does well from the MK community.

GGA 16 Bit where's Rico's stock at?

 

[Cat]

Just came to say back blown out is more legit.

PL seems to be causing the same mindfuck he created last year, not much to add to his MK performance, but in Injustice somehow his Scorpion was super relevant and he was just sandbagging with BA, he could end up being a bigger favorite for IGAU than he is for MK, who knows?

For anyone that remembers, I'll admit I was wrong about Smoke. The line has been drawn clear to me. Bravo Wafflez.

I like the sound of getting Chris G'd, could potentially be more viral than LBSH.

Saltface should've used Miseria Cantare as his entrance theme, I wonder how many people know what I mean by that.

Also I like how Pig waited until now to voice his concerns for using PS3s for tournaments, EVO oughta be interesting. #Kappa

afi. very good.
