Tournament Viable Characters for 2013

[Pig Of The Hut]

Why you blowing up Eddy Wang? Isnt he the best player in africa with her? How many people can say they're the best player in a freaking continent? i dont think that would be possible without a tournament viable character. When's the last time our continent's best player (REO? PL? You?) won a tournament with a not tournament viable character?

no i love Eddy Wang

lol but man im serious we need to see evidence - was his a major?

BTW you forget im a skarlet advocate, best day in mk9 history is when skarlet wins a major imo

good because ermac stock has PLUMENTED

at least youre determined, witty and angry enough to possibly make it happen

when is your next tournament?

EVO 2013

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

I'm just joking, it's not 5-5.

If only Ermac had armor

smoke/ermac were my first month 1-3 mains, if ermac's ex lift had armor ermac would possibly be top 3-4 lol thats how much itd matter

Yeah there are some traces of Ermac pulling it off, but I think Morty didn't know how to play the MU. Lol I've seen this match a long time ago, and at SCR when I picked Ermac vs Detriot's Kabal, I was like "oh shit!!!! , he knows this MU".

I might go to NCR, but I've just got sooo much school work this semester, I'm trying to transfer.

I don't think any Ermac could take a game off REO.

Ok well good luck

Ermac community needs you

Hell Metzos needs you and would love nothing more than you to place higher than me lol

Ermac and Reptile...... the enigma's of tournies.

 

[Fractured_Shadow]

What would normal pokes do for him, "guaranteed" 7% hellfire?

wow.. really? It would allow him to escape pressure for one....

 

[EGP Wonder_Chef]

I freaking love this thread. It's been a while since people have been discussing real gameplay. Feels good man.

yes, this is very true.
My Skarlet still needs to be tested against more ppl outside of africa which is the real challenge is IMO.
DarkSlayerSmith is a good player, but i think even he also has his flaws and the character he picked to fight skarlet on daily basis is 6-4 Skarlet at the highest level, which is pointless when you already know what to do, when to do, and when they are stubborn bastards who keep avoiding some things letting others in the open 95% of the time is easy to win.

So U.S should be the place where i could definitely determine if skarlet is viable enough to win a tournament or just another character that fails to see top 10 because she isin't a fast punisher. Ppl patience and tension are hard to break and player with skill enough to keep my blood boiling for hype.

S0 lets find out at EVO2k13 if everything turns alright.

 

[Zoidberg747]

Every character has losing matchups, so I guess you could say the same thing about the entire cast as well.

No, the whole cast does not have 2-8 and 1-9 matchups. Im not talking about a 4-6 matchup, im talking one that is practically unwinnable.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Shang, Kabal, Mileena, Kenshi, Smoke.

Add Sonya, Cage, Skarlet and Freddy to that list, possibly Reptile and Kitana too...as far as the overall worst, Kabal and Kenshi, both 3-7's.

Lol Sonya and Cage don't pose a problem for Ermac

Also, unless the Kenshi player really knows what he's doing, he doesn't pose a problem either.

Sonya/Ermac is fucking terrible. At the highest level its unwinnable for Ermac. Ermac best chance is for the Sonya to jump all game or dropping combos constantly or even experiencing the input bug more than normal.

7-3 minimum.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

Riu was top8 at NEC.. You were there

I rage quit out of there as soon as I lost lol. I swear he only made top 16. Did he really make top 8?

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

I want him on there

we need results from that character

LBSH skarlet should be on here but again, We need results and proof

Is it me or am I the only one that thinks skarlet is bad? I don't understand how she is good with her 2% daggers on hit. Her armor is good but easy to bait and not too hard to fuzzy guard.

i think skarlet is more overrated than sektor is, and considering how much I downplay my char, that's saying something

Yes!! Finally someone who thinks this. I thought I was the only guy.

 

[GGA Saucy Jack]

I do miss you.

And i notice GGA Dizzy is not talking up dat NW for tourney viable. Scurred of getting chested as usual i see.
