Quit acting like Hayatei is carried by his character the dude was the only Robin player for two years of Injustice 2. If anyone has earned a high tier character it's that man

Hayatei's my favorite player to watch after f0xy, but let's not act as if robin wasn't high-mid for the majority of, and possibly top 10 in the latter half, of i2's lifespan.

Michaelangelo is hype

I think he was just a mid-tier character in an ultimately well balanced game but to be frank, his character took more skill then a lot of characters in that game. I think his character loyalty hurt him in Injustice 2.

Sonya getting 481 off an anti-air?!! She's getting a damage nerf for sure

Honestly I think Robin was one of the better picks to take into tournament since he went even with a good portion with the top tiers and arguably beat a few. The even matchups definitely looked & played difficult, but he had to tools & damage to deal with them.

Wha'd I miss? I was at a friend's birthday party, it was western-themed, please I need to get my mind off the 6 hrs of country music I endured.

Which kinda country music? Because if that was modern country, I think you have grounds for a lawsuit there.

Overall some pretty good matches in pools. Grr had a Geras mirror, and they both played different variations, which was kind of neat.

I couldn't make it more than an hour into day 1 pools. Sonya matchups combined with my own personal gripes about NRS' streaming decisions really took it out of me. REO and ATK even had trouble making it fun. It's such a bummer too because I'm really enjoying MK11 from a players perspective, but it's totally taking me out of the observer role.

He wasn't able to afford the trip, so he wasn't able to make it to EVO this year.

Man that’s a damn shame. How has an ORG like Echo Fox or Noble not picked him up yet so that he can make LAN tourneys consistently? I think he would be a great asset for any organization, even with limited local tourney experience.

He has so much raw talent and that kid belongs at EVO. Feels bad man, and I ain’t even a NinjaKilla fanboy by any stretch. Just really respect his talent and hustle. I’m sure a lot of pros would agree, too.

You have my condolences.

I think Theo beat Scar going off of his last tweet...? We might be seeing Theo make top 8 at his mk11 debut.

So much this ^

Nailed it on the head man. I’m still enjoying the game a lot as a player too but as a fan and viewer - it’s kind of a tough to watch game even in elite hands. Feel like MKX had so much more tech and the matches were a lot more hype. Even if MK11 is trending in a better direction (especially with a balance Patch or two upcoming...soon for the love of god please and thanks) than MKX did, I can’t dismiss the variety and entertainment value that MKX offered solely from a viewers perspective.

Just my opinion of course.
