The shill hill... :REO



There is no evidence to suggest that he is OP yet.

However, he is an easy and effective character to use.

If I recall correctly, MainManSwe has ranked Clive top 10-12 in his updated tier list.

I am not sure if top Korean or Pakistani players have commented on his tier list status.
You don't know what a shill is, do you?

Lmao

That laugh you made at the stupidity is exactly the laugh I made when fighting this guy lol. Felt like I was turning into the Joker laughing and had to cancel the game.
Your cackle along with you chipping the dude to death with Skarlet was maniacal. lol
My followers have been saying that my laugh it's kinda contagious that they guarantee i should voice devil Jin, it has quickly became of the channel gags, if i laugh at something, they all get their life extented

here is some of gist if you guys are interested

 

LEGEND

YES!
It isn't even the character being OP or super busted (though the character is obviously strong), it's the completely unenjoyable experience fighting him. I don't want to lab this character, I don't want to play this character, he is playing another game while other characters are playing Tekken, a game that I don't wanna play. Bro has full screen tracking and safe and heat moves like he's some Injustice 1 NRS zoner or something, it's just annoying and tedious to beat him even when you win. Dude has braindead 5 mins to learn auto plus on block mix-ups. Just too stupid a character for how he plays.

And he comes up often enough that it's not one of those rare characters you never see. Dude singlehandedly sent me back to MK1/SF6 lol and I'm not even exaggerating. I honestly don't remember being this salty about anything since having to deal with armor'd launchers in MKX. I'm just not playing that when there's so many options.

Tbh I find characters like Yoshi, Ling and Alisa more game breaking and Nina, Jin and Drag are much more oppressive. I think it's just that he's completely new and thus a foreign kind of bullshit. Tho it is lame that anyone can mash 1+2 and a direction and probably make it to purple with him.

When this site starts effecting you outside of the site to where it has you stewing IRL, it definitely IS time to log off and at the very least take a break. Even though this community is much smaller, this IS a social media site at the end of the day. So I view it a lot like twitter. People who take it super seriously need to get out more, because it’s really not that serious. That sounds dismissive but I’m not trying to make fun of anyone, to bully, to trash talk, none of that. Trust me, I’ve needed to take breaks from social media plenty of times. And if you can’t take a break and need to permanently sever the ties and never come back, you gotta do what you gotta do. If something is genuinely negatively effecting your mental health, I absolutely encourage anyone to take a break from whatever that thing is especially if it’s something you don’t “need” like a SM site/app

Like you literally have people on Twitter saying that the government is manually engineering fog in order to hide the skies or to get people sick. SM is just full of goofies discussing their 1 shared braincell with one another ¯\(ツ)

Unfortunately we all do. Or at least if not family members, it’s friends or co-workers. It’s wild to me in the digital age where so much information is literally at most people’s fingertips, that people are more gullible and credulous than almost ever before. Actually, they’re credulous when it comes to wild conspiracy theories but incredulous when it comes to the actual facts of the matter. And a big part of the problem is social media rotting their brains and the fact that just about every SM site, which includes YouTube and TikTok, literally are designed to only show you what you want to see.

But anyway, guess that’s a discussion for a different day/topic

It is better this way
All of those are my points except the "there are no villains". Probably gonna disagree there as it's not that there's no villains, it's that the one's we used to have are all either neutered or lame in MK1. These are the one's I can think of:

Sub: pretty GOAT in MK1
Shang: solid enough, only nitpicks
Khan: went from the GOAT for decades to an absolute salty useless jobber
Reiko: why even bring him back to be such a jobber???
Reptile: used to be a sneaky deadly bad guy loyal to the Big Bads now he's a magazine model looking good guy, fighting for his people
Baraka: bad guy jobber turned into a man of the people, alsoooo fighting for his people
Sindel: went from killing half the cast in one of the greatest scenes ever and Uber powerful as Khan's wife to the good guy Queen Sindel alsoooo looking out for her people
Mileena: lolz
Havik: Mr. "Chaos" was useless in the main story and one of the worst dlc villains ever
Nitara: alsoooo fighting for the unjust treatment of her people
Noob Saibot: Incoming redemption arc before the dlc even released

And whoever else I'm forgetting right now. I don't think I have ever seen a regression of villains in a game that usually had very strong villain roles for the most part like MK1 did.

Edit: Ermac and Quan Chi too lol.
Edit 2: and Tanya lol alright I'm done.
This is why I said Bi Han is the only fun character in the reboot

@Eldriken @Juggs @Eddy Wang The thing I've found with social media is that it's truly declined critical thinking. Severely. People don't want to think for themselves anymore and simply believe what they see. It's insane.

This is why I regularly encourage people to close their social media accounts. As a society, we've regularly shown we can't handle this level of "freedom" of information.

I have a buddy who used to shit on flat earthers constantly, and then when the pandemic hit, he bought into all the conspiracy theory stuff and ranted and ranted about all of that. I didn't have the heart to tell him he became the flat earther.

As glad as I am that MK1 is supposedly done but it was truly for the best, the game came out 2 years prematurely & released the absolute worst time of the year to release due to Starfield, Lies of P, Bulder's Gate 3, Counter Strike 2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC, Payday 3 & NBA 2K24 all in the same month. Mortal Kombat 1 released 7 months after they announced it & a month before a 2 minute trailer THAT HAD 10 SECONDS OF THE GAME WITH ZERO GAMEPLAY!

Good riddance.

MK1 is the best MK period.
SFV was so bad at launch yet had over 5k sign up at its 1st Evo 22243
22244looks like my opinion holds weight when I said mk1 launch overall is worse than SFV. This is just one of many examples.

This is a pretty dumb argument, bestie. If we're actually comparing the games, MK1 had more content on release, didn't have 8 frames of lag built in, so on and so on.

EVO numbers have nothing to do with the actual quality of the products on release.

P. S. Why are you ducking me?

Saying SFV had a better launch because more people played it is like saying McDonald's has the best burgers because more people ate it.

not really it is a false equivalency. Even at the highest popularity of MK, SF and other games threshed it in numbers. MK is still mainly a casual game with a few die hard competitive players, has always been that way. This is why it sells so well and still is always the worst entrance. Saying SFV beat mk1 is meaningless, it also beat MK9 and X... so yeah.... what is the point?

This is my billionth life cycle.
I always find it interesting in situations like these on this site, where Vulgar gets blasted for their drama and antics, but people like just_2swift with borderline narcissistic personality disorder and general toxicity is for some reason humored, relative to other party?

Maybe its a skill issue on my part though and everyone else is just better at ignoring the shit that should be ignored.

To be fair, we did have multiple people shit on just_2swift's posts in this very same thread about his delusional ravings about MKX having more "combo creativity" than MK1.

You are correct, though, when you say some people just ignore what should be ignored - that's precisely what I did when the aforementioned discussion was starting to be held with such BLATANT stretches like "kung lao gives everyone hard to blockables". I often find that some other gentlemen on this site will happily continue to discuss why opinion x, y or z is incorrect (more often than not with better examples than I could come up with in the first place), so I prefer to just quietly step back after my stamina has depleted and observe from the sidelines.
