Top 5 NRS players of all time

[Pig Of The Hut]

Sonic, DJT, MIT, Wound, Foxy.

Could replace Foxy or Wound with Pig or Reo

Foxy did nothing in inj and not much in mk9

We need to lose the "WHAT IFS" if we are being serious in here

PL's Injustice rankings for those interested.

I don't think those are all his placements. Idk though, i could be wrong

 

[Invincible Salads]

hey now, i care about the person who made 9th :U peeps just being mean!

 

[CrimsonShadow]

I have yet to see the Hall Of Fame with only 5 players in it.

What about players who stopped competing and became commentators after less than a year?

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I disagree. My opinion will always be consistency > one and done good weekend

Perfect example let's look at Zyphox vs Slayer in MKX. Zyphox got an Evo medal and Slayer didn't, but Slayer placed at hella tournaments all year round where Zyphox missed top 8's. Would you consider Zyphox better than Slayer because of that one great weekend? I would consider Slayer better because he placed way more all year round

I would consider Lewis Kang broken in 2015 and not one soul knew the MU

Example: KDZ 2013

In no way am I in top 5. I only have A LOT of MK9 top 8's, several IGAU top 8's, and a bunch of 9th and top 16 finishes in MKX where only myself and Madzin have done this at BIG majors in the USA using all SZ. But I appreciate the one guy who mentioned me.

For those wondering Tom Brady had a pretty good track record in mk9

He was the best sub
Top 8 in following
Ceo 2011
power up 2011 (winner)
devastation 2011
seasons beating 2011
Summer jam
Power up 2012
Nec 2012
Forwent all MLGs to commentate

What are these several IGAU top 8's and bunches of 9ths???

I dock you minus 3 MK9 top 8s for making shit up about the last two games. This puts you out of the top 15 conversation for MK9. Reflect and apologize.

hi tom ily

Well only 3 Top 8s, but 1 of those was a major win and a few regional and local wins. Nothing besides that. There are ppl you consider better who actually have one lees top 8 and zero major wins. Same with MK9, there are ppl that i have more than twice the placements of but you consider them better. Better or not, i have always said that whos fault is it if the better player didnt consistently do as well.

He did have several top 8s. Mostly at the start of Injustice and one near the end of the game's life. The 9ths in MKX is suspect tho.

Its funny because they actually missed a few top 16s like the Final Round, etc..

I'm not allowing 3 to count as several. Especially in context.

The MKX "bunch of 9ths" is just made up.

I also bopped your buy Theo head to head =p

Bet me that I have no 9th and top 16 finishes in MKX. It doesnt matter though, i'm not top 5 and you and your guys will always make up stuff to say im bad in any game.

Back on topic:

Top 5 is too small for me to narrow down. Def not an easy choice.

 

[16 Bit]

9th at Combo Breaker 2015 and a couple of 13th places is not a bunch of 9ths.

Yeah can't argue, that one was pure bias

 

[Tom Brady]

I was 9th at more than CB. 9th and 13th is also the HIGHEST SZ has ever placed at any big USA major which only Madzin and I have done. Then there are a few 17ths I have which only Buffalo, Madzin, DJT and myself have done at a big USA major.

I'm not arguing this with you, i was trash at MKX as the story is told, but it was just as trash as every other sz player. They can live in my dumpster with me, its a deluxe model.

Other players who placed at PowerUp 2011:
Floe
Arturo Sanchez
THTB

Other players who placed at PowerUp 2012:
MK_Legend
Digimon (Sheeva... And Jade)

Players who placed at CEO 2011:
JT Circus
Banana Ken
PR Rog
Arturo Sanchez

Now, while this is not to disparage anyone, and some of these are people that have done well in their main games, the point is... These games change a lot in a short amount of time. And once the games hit their stride, the qualifications to place top 8 at the biggest majors, once competition is at it's highest, goes to another level entirely.

So unless you're also voting Arturo into the MK hall of fame (which I don't think even he would claim), you have to be really careful about comparing early majors with PR Rog making Top 8 to the true heart of competitive MK9 (events like MLG, etc). When you look at who was Top 8 at MLG in 2012 (especially from Anaheim on) and who they had to go through to get there, as well as who was Top 8 at EVO in 2012 and 2013 it's an entirely different story.

I don't think anyone who placed at one of MK9's truly golden-era majors is comparing their results from Seasons Beatings 2011 to say, EVO 2012. Just like you're not going to hear WoundCowboy bragging about placing with Sub Zero at MWC 2015 and trying to hold it up with SCR 2016 or something. It's just a different measuring stick before the game's competitive community solidifies.

We're supposed to be impressed by 17th?

 

[ForeverKing]

I would consider Lewis Kang broken in 2015 and not one soul knew the MU

Example: KDZ 2013

But regardless you see my point? An Evo top 8 doesn't automatically make you better than everyone, you just played exceptionally well that particular weekend. I understand all the glory behind an Evo top 8, but when comparing skill between players one Evo top 8 is not better than 10 major top 8's. There are alot of major tournaments where almost all the best players go anyways (CEO, Combo Breaker, KIT) so they are almost just as hard as Evo, Evo just has like 800+ pot monsters thrown in the mix

Id agree.. but when you CONTINUE to place trough the games life it shows that you werent just a 1 and done guy like others you mentioned. Also, who you beat matters. When you have beaten some of the games best at the END of the game it shows you werent just a one and done player.

Name these tournaments. Northwest Majors the first week the game came out? Come on. List these events instead of saying a several/bunch.

Other players struggling doesn't make 9th, 13th or 17th any more noteworthy. This is your worst talking point yet. Stop.

 

[Tom Brady]

We're supposed to be impressed by 17th?

No, but again.. all the sz's that have ever competed in the USA are in the same boat as me at big USA majors. I'm not claiming anything in MKX. I mean, im not here to argue with you. You say i was bad at all 3 games, so I was bad lol. No conversation will change that.

Well yea, then they've all failed lol. A 17th isn't even worth mentioning. You know better....

 

[Tom Brady]

I only brought that one up because it was the highest of all the sz's, but i agree it doesnt prove any merit as a top player.
