The Best and Most Memorable MK Moments of 2012

[CrimsonShadow]

Well, we've reached that moment in every year where it's time to go back and sum up the most excitest, craziest, best, and most memorable moments of the year. Imo this was an amazing year, filled with tons of surprises, settling of scores, hillarious situations, fantastic matches, new developments, new friendships, and all kinds of drama and goodwill.

This game, and our community were put to the test, and we came out stronger and better than ever. I have almost too many moments to list.. I'm going to start putting them together now. But while I do that I ask you all:

What were the best and most memorable MK moments of 2012? The ones you'll probably never forget and will carry into 2013?

Happy Holidays TYM

I second this. I just watched it today and my brain almost imploded.

 

[STORMS]

• US takes on the United Kingdom and Chile at EVO 2012
• Germany Madzin invades Mortal Kombat at MLG Dallas
• Australia TONY-T and n-megabyte invade NECXIII

Just a few of my favs.

 

[NickDaGreek1983]

Every XBlades - Tyrant match, the XBlades - PBoard player semis (I think it was redemption II), DJT-Tom Brady, CDjr-Tyrant, PL defending his title, REO being the most consistent player, Gamerblake - Tyrant (MLG), MIT-PL and Hidan-Mustard.

These are my personal favorites:

-- Any episode of the KTP.
-- Slips vs. Tom Brady at Final Round and the ultimate battle of Scorpion vs. Sub Zero.
-- Big D shocking the MK community against CD Jr. at Final Round.
-- PL and CD Jr. finally facing off at MLG Columbus.
-- Tom Brady vs. Forever King and the greatest Tom Brady special of all time.
-- Slips' epic comeback in a match against Kevo Da Man. The awesomeness of guessing right on the vortex. It's a shame he ended up losing the set.
-- CD Jr. against Tyrant in the greatest MK set ever played IMO.
-- Tom Brady vs. DJT in probably the most anticipated MK fight of all time.
-- PL coming back strong at Anaheim and his two sets with CD Jr. (hell you can throw that entire tournament for good measure. My favorite MK tournament to date).
-- The UK guys making it to EVO
-- PL making it look free at EVO (that's an exaggeration obviously, but he beat REO, Tyrant, Forever King, Pig and CD Jr. Still for my money, the greatest list of victims on the way to a title to date).
-- 16 Bit winning the runback against CD at Raleigh and that awesome read to throw the X-Ray.
-- Dizzy turning into the best punisher in MK at Season's Beatings. Nothing went unpunished.
-- Pig of the Hut's sets with DJT at MLG Arena and MLG Dallas.
-- Tyrant vs. Blake at Dallas.
-- Madzin vs. Gross in casuals and the greatest MK9 corner combo to happen in a match as far as I recall.
-- Tom Brady's entire run to making top 8 at NEC.

[REDRUM]

So many good ones....

Brady vs Denzel and CDjr vs Tyrant in the same stream back to back has to take the cake probably...

Also ... the Team 16 Bit vs VSM down in Atlanta..

Brady when he beat Forever King and 16 Bit on the mic was sick as well...

 

[Ashenar]

DJTMIT Denzel's X-ray cancel into throw to beat pl at mlg. That is all. Oh and the burnie to follow it up.
