Just a slightly above average player.....
Shame there is no nfg rankings to spice things up. @Pig Of The Hut
Well, fair or not, we don't know about those people because they either don't travel or they are consistently beaten by their region's top players.I bet you don't even know who played at VSM or who are the best European players other than Foxy, the twins, Madzin and Nivek.
I don't even think that most of Yomi guys are better than some good European players....Yomi is a dominant force in tournaments just because they have a ton of players, it's hard to not place with their numbers.
USA is overrated really, the top 5-6 players are amazing... but the rest is not impressive
gears of war? You gonna get UE?I don't enjoy video games anymore, I enjoy very few at my age but in fact in past 7 years I've bought 5 games
1. Mk9
2. MKX
3. Inj
4. Gow trilogy
5. Inquisition
Technicality : ps4 came w that one cool game w the little girl who died/zombies (last of us)
I really like competition and fighting games and have lucked out finding character kenshi and ZOD. Somewhere between mk3 and today I became a character loyalist. I have no idea why but I did and can't break away from it
No offense to king but given that he already got bodied by alcohol at his last major before Evo you would think he would not want to go down that same path at the biggest tournament of the year (and biggest mk tournament of all time for that matter). You can drink anytime but he was at evo to try to win, his priority should have been the tournament not getting sloshed. Fyi I don't even know if king was drinking at evo or not but if he was thats his bad and no excuse for him not placing and I'm sure he would agree.This may be Pages too late but wasn't it also Kings first time in Vegas after turning 21? Shit I'd probably not do well either
I wish F0xy would stop being so humble about his EVO placing when defending Europe. For the most part he played and trained exclusively in Europe and then literally walked through EVO to the grand finals like it was nothing, dropping only ONE game before Fox. He 2-0'd and 3-0'd everyone else, including some of the undisputed best players in the world. Ketchup, while not walking through like F0xy, is another European who secured a top 8 spot and had to face some very serious competition on his way. Whether some people admit it or not, there's no denying that the European competition is up to par if these guys trained there and then confidently made top 8 at EVO.
But who cares it's just Europe and the scene is not as known as the American one so it's hard to jude F0xy's accomplishments over there and obviously that means Europe is not as good as America.
Bro.. Let me help you actually.I honestly cannot possibly understand this logic, THE DUDE HAS BEEN PLAYING SHINNOK IN ALMOST EVERY TOURNAMENT AND THEY BUFFED HIM AND HE ALREADY PLAYS AS HIM HOW TF IS THAT HIS FAULT, caps so maybe you can finally understand.
SonicFox is not the one discrediting Europe though. My post was aimed at other people (no names to be said) who will automatically discredit the region and players like Madzin despite the fact that European competition has proven itself to be up to par.I think the point is that regardless of how good the competition in Europe is, the undisputed best player in the world does not compete in European tournaments, which makes 1st place kind of... less impressive.
If SonicFox lived in the UK, how many 1st place finishes do you think Foxy would have gotten?
He may very well be the 2nd best player in the world, but I think it's kind of obvious that his 1st place European finishes don't hold as much weight as they would if he competed in the US.
If BS Shinnok is more broken then Ivan Ooze, then why don't you just pick him up and go to a tourney and mop everyone up?Bro.. Let me help you actually.
It doesn't matter to me if he has played Shinnok since day 1.
Why? You may ask. Well, I'll tell you.
Your argument only furthers my belief on why Cowboy isn't top 10 in my book.
Cowboy, on skill alone, didn't win shit.
Cowboy, using a broken character, won something.
See, do you understand?
Cowboy hasn't won anything without a broken character in his pocket..
I truly believe his recent accomplishments were more about the Broken character, than it was about the player.
Until he wins something without the aide of a broken character, I wouldn't put him near the top 5.
I hope to see him wim without a broken character and prove many of us wrong. Def want anyone with aspirations to be a top player, find that success.
Let's take a look at my tournament results and see how you guys compared. I'm not going to include DJT nor MIT because I personally would rank them higher than myself anyways.

I understand that you guys have competed in much more tournaments than myself or the rest of the community in general so you have more placings and more opportunities to place but if we're gonna compare tournament results that we both attended, I'm certainly more consistently in the top. Out of you three, I only see REO as arguably having better results but I beat him at the major I won, outplaced him significantly at EVO, and I'm up 3-1 on him in tournament sets, so I think that's enough to push me past him.
My top 5 are:
1) SonicFox
2) Foxy
3) DJT
4) MIT
5) HoneyBee
If you honestly think Foxy doesn't deserve to be Top 5, you're incredibly ignorant.
But it was Vegas.No offense to king but given that he already got bodied by alcohol at his last major before Evo you would think he would not want to go down that same path at the biggest tournament of the year (and biggest mk tournament of all time for that matter). You can drink anytime but he was at evo to try to win, his priority should have been the tournament not getting sloshed.

OH NY GOD HAHAHAHAA when did this happen!?Woundcowboy vs Foreverking player-cam after the match.
I think I might create a few alt accounts just so I can like this more.I wish F0xy would stop being so humble about his EVO placing when defending Europe.

Do you understand fighting games at all? Is the character a little to good? Sure yeah he needs to be toned down but broken? What the hell are you talking about? He's easy to play and probably doesn't lose many match ups but he is nowhere near broke, no one is in this game.Bro.. Let me help you actually.
It doesn't matter to me if he has played Shinnok since day 1.
Why? You may ask. Well, I'll tell you.

No. That was country pride. I mean he was fighting a guy with a full size flag on his back lol (which is perfectly alright). Can't people have some national pride these days lol.yeah that was a sickening display of jingoism that Pig should be ashamed of.
