Valley Stream Monsters vs. Arizona

I play against a high level Noob pretty often so I am very aware of how he can be played. Morty's Noob > Hito's noob any day of the week. He's a little better up close than the Noob community wants to give him credit for.

Edit: I'd love to give you a Sektor mirror Tom Hanks, probably wont happen until Evo because I doubt you will be at Devastation. Hopefully Evo selects MK9 again over Skull Girls, Naruto Ultimate Ninja storm, SC5 or TTT2!

Well if your gonna be a pretentious fuck then ima throw some truth @ u...according to everyone I know whose seen your cage your nothing special so if thats truly the case then stop thinking that your so high and mighty in this scene b/c to my knowledge Riu48>>>>>Than you.

And according to Riu48 himself I'm the only noob that gives him trouble and me and him go 50/50. So if i can go 50/50 with one of the best Cages in the MK scene I think surely you'd be no sweat off my brow.

Normally I'm down for people saying w/e they want about people on these video game forums, but when they act like you, prancing around acting like their hot shit or w/e it really gets on my nerves.

You should step down on that pedestal your sitting and SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! People like you are who ruin game communities.

Well hopefully I get to play Riu48 one day =D

50/50 against Cage is eh. The match is so stacked in Noob's favor.

If Cage gets in, Noob is absolutely fucked.

Sub Zero is hard for Cage because he can keep him out so easily, but he can also get himself out of trouble if Cage gets his offense going. Once Cage gets on Noob, Noob has no answer. Wakeup upshadow can be baited and punished.

Noob has d3's and up clones, Noob isn't as helpless as you would imagine. Up clones can be covered with more up clones, Cages only option to open him up realistically is d3 which isn't very awesome.

I personally think that the VSM team vs the top players in Arizona would be the most entertaining thing to happen in MK9 and im curious if this could happen soon. (maybe Dev?)

The main matches i want to see are:
B W1zZ vs. Erik Warda
Morty Seinfeld vs. Riu48
Detroit vs. CDjr
Jedi Rob vs. Hitoshura (not likely to happen)

Name some of the matches you would like to see.
B W1zZ vs. Erik Warda
Morty Seinfeld vs. Riu48
Dr Dogg vs. CDjr
Jedi Robb vs. Hitoshura


^ This sounds better

Well naturally Riu48 is a better player than I am so he has the advantage but tbh its not tht stacked. At most id say is a 6-4 in noobs favor. Its doable. sure noob can keep him out all day with clones but for the cage player to get in he has to play smart and try to evade my projectiles. If he does predict the throwing of once he gets a good opportunity to get in closer seeing how noobs recovery with shadows can be ass, with the exception of upknee.

Once cage is in its all about noob trying to get cage off of him. You can out poke him except with d3 and Riu got some rlly rlly rlly good mixup with cage ud be surprised.

spamming or over using upknee isnt tht good of an idea b/c like half the cast can poke noob out of it. Its a great move but people tend to over think how good upknee rlly is. but yeah his d3 isnt all tht special but u always have Kool-Aid Kick.

D3 xx up clone. If people try to punish up clone on block you can cover a clone with another one. The great thing about D3 is how much it lowers his hit box making it a great tool for stopping d1's. Once you the opponent starts to respect that fact that D3 produces an up clone every time you can use that conditioning to start landing more important things like the b1214 string which leads to all sorts of shenanigans.

No point in talking shit since VSM/Az won't happen besides Reo going out there. I know the Az players are good though, shoutouts to Morty. Sorry TS won't be at Devastation.

One way you guys could "kinda" settle this is via Mortal Mondays, but we also need not ultimately judge anyone by online play..

It would be for fun and for the community, that's all.

o i knw this lol i was saying they can poke out like if i do it thinking there gonna jump they could dash in at the right time during recovery and when i try to do another they d1 or d3. This is when i used to spam it very unhealthy like and i would get fucked up for it.

Ive gotta say this thread was going way off track. I can see how the title of this thread may appear to be me trying to stir up the pot. Until detriot posted this was WAAAAAY in the wrong direction please try to keep all "who dominates who" stuff to a minimum.

No i want you to play CDjr plus DrDogg seemed kinda down on the MK scene, but hey i haven't seen any posts or videos from him in a while. Also CDjr knows the kitana match-up far too well for that to be overly competitive.

While im at it Crazy Dominican vs Morty would be pretty entertaining.

I require u guys to keep this rivalry up till evo making the money matches and HYPE all the more interesting.


It'll make a hell of a good movie which I plan to film and edit

are there any videos for the az players in the internet? you guys should upload some matches between you guys so people can seen the level of players AZ has. . . upload some matches between Sao87, B W1zZ , Morty Seinfeld , Dr Dogg , Jedi Robb and more but only the best of AZ against the best of AZ because i am 100% sure nobody want to see one of the best player of AZ shinning like start kicking the ass of some guy who is not at his level . . . only the best of AZ against the best of AZ... how is it posible that i only seen videos from dr dogg playing?

why the best against the best well like i said it is easy to shine against people who do not know the game as well as you do.

mid level player vs low level player = mid level player shine like a high level player


mid level player vs mid level player = both look good but they do not shine

high level player vs high level player = high level play

I believe the AZ tournament videos are being kept private until after Devastation. That's what I heard, anyway.

Also NEC is the best tournament at supporting the entire community - MK was always there even in the dark days, DOA is a fixture there, every random SNK/anime game you can think of gets played, etc. And Big E is the fucking man. When people ask me what the best non-Evo tournaments are, I always say NEC + Season's Beatings + Final Round (can't vouch for CEO tho I hear great things!). So basically you guys out west should to travel to NEC or at least one of these at any rate...MK really needs strong representation (I'm talking 100+ people and entertaining top 8's) at these majors to have a chance with Evo next year.

Reminder: the #capcom hivemind still thinks this game is dying, and that tends to be a major source of info for Evo staff.

that is my point they need to work on uploading videos of fights between them so that people can see them play and give them credit for their skills and the best way to do it is by uploading videos of fights between the best of AZ

Are they still doing that? I haven't seen a link to a stream or a previously recorded video or any mention at all for that matter. Maybe i'm just not following the Arizona players as close as i should.

wow is this true? if yes AZ players are playing this very close to chess :top: very smart move i have to say look like they really want a player from AZ to wins the tourney

really? then i guess they just need to do a better job at promoting the stream i bet many people out there would like to watch but they do not know about it
