Apparently my pool starts at 6. So im just enjoying all the matches till then.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

How is Dragon's hair so perfectly fit into that shape day after day

P.S. Those reads on the throws every single time.. Crazy

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Lmao Splash with the double flawless on Jer.. He means business

 

[Hellbringer]

How come foxygrandpa is DQ'ed?

Guessing he didn't show

We have had a few of these. Ketchup was telling me VideoGamezYo missed his flight and got here late. Lucky his pool isnt until 6. But Ketchup also said he is most likely gonna be jetlagged and really tired from all the hassle.

One thing I really dig about MK11 is the moments of pure patience and fundamental play, like this one:

Sonic refusing to take the bait, and then Unjust making the perfect read on his throw for full combo.

I'm also digging K7's movement with Sub, which I think is pretty great:

He was really keeping Hayatei off-guard the entire match, and that's a huge win for him. Good stuff.

I think they mentioned on stream he couldn't end up making it.

Quick update gentlemen. I took 2 games off Daddy in casuals. Then after he warmed up he destroyed me 3 games in a row. Im feeling confident.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Whoever really masters Upgraded Jacqui is going to be a force. Love watching and playing that variation.

Congrats to that dude for beating Buffalo.

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

I have seen a lot of Speed Demon Kabals here. Probably the most used 3rd variation so far.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Only Curbo would come up with a moment like this:

Roflmao.

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

Lost to Cossner then won both my loser bracket matches. Im playing the loser of Cossner and VideoGamezYo on stream.

Edit: they just told me they are running low on time so my match wont be streamed

 

[iNoScopedJFK]

Just beat Cossner on the run back. One more win and im in top 48.

Edit: im stupid. 3rd place gets into top 48 already so im in.

This proved a few things:

• MK11 has anti airs so stop the lie that it doesnt
• Its based on neutral and footsies even if some characters have busted shit
• Noob and frost are top tier and people arent gonna learn until its too late
• Jade when PLAYED CORRECTLY is annoying

LoOks like you will be playing VGY tomorrow. Do you feel more comfortable vs Jax or Shao?

we are waiting for Raiden DLC he is not in the game yet

Shhhhhh, let's keep it that way. We're fine when they're sleeping over Noob

 

[PeNNyw1ZE_TDC]

Anti airs are better now because the last patch extended the hurt box of jump ins

I dont think im playing him he left my pool in winners and im in losers. I feel much more confident against Jax tho.

I knew Noob was top tier when I saw the range of his normals when played in a footsie kind of way...



Edit: The range on some of his string just play neutral and footsies better than everyone else besides frost she's just as good. Great call out I've been thinking that for awhile. @MagicMan357

This top 48 is going to be one to remember. It’s not just because of the level of some of the players (although it’s pretty stacked with Top 8 threats), but also because it’s full of players who are exciting to watch, and have really different playstyles.

I’m expecting some fireworks. Can’t wait.

 

[Jynks]

I wish events mics the audience a little. When ever you see phone vid from the floor it is so hype. In football and stuff they mic the crowd as it makes such a difference.. I really think the FCG should start doing that.

 

[SLy]

Splash is a nut for that haha
