Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
People are trying to argue that pre-patch scorpion was fair? lol k
The tears of pre-patch Scorpion stemmed from something about as significant as Baraka's sweep being +10 on block. You don't think it's a coincidence TYM was being utterly ridiculed by the outside FGC back then?

-7 upball sounds completely broke.

Too safe for a DP anti air.

I don't have sympathy for him losing that.

Nor do I have sympathy for Scorpions loss of BS - 1 flipkick
You're looking at it far too superficially, those things gave alternative options for high risk, sub-standard reward strings.

It was a meterless, safe, fully invincible wakeup that couldn't be nuetral jumped.

Those should not exist. Not for Scorpion or any other character.

Some of you grossly missed the point I was trying to make with this thread.

Sad face.
I fully get this thread, we have seen crying over characters often on TYM, hell Zatanna was less than 24 hours old when people bitched about her meter building ability and how fast it could be done, FF later on when peopel realized why she built meter so fast. Or the complaints about BGs smoke bomb. Infinites and broke shit in general I understand, but there tends to be bitching and begging for nerfs and buffs when they are unneeded.

To be fair, MK 2 and UMK3 were tournament viable. Especially UMK3 prior to MK 9 and Injustice. But I do agree that they're do even better now, and MK 10 will most likely be more balanced then MK 9 was. And so long as they don't put in another King Lao or allow Kabal block string frame traps, it should be ok. Preferably no resets either but I'll be surprised if none exist.
Some resets are ok, as long as they arent cyrax grade retarded lol

Edit: Smoke neeeeeeeds it!

we shouldnt see any type of nerfs/buffs until the game is at least a year in a half to two years old. not 6 or 7 months into the game (just like injustice and mk9). Have you noticed (and i know most of you already know this) that out of many of the other big name fighting games like street fighter, MvC, and tekken especially, those gaming studios arent patching their game every two seconds just becauce their respective communities want them to? we are one if not THE ONLY community that once something new is found out about a character or whatever there are a million and one theads on how "broken" something is. I comepletely ageee with ketchup. As a community we need to come together and and start figuring things out more instead on blowing up the forums with the complaints. Sorry for the wall of text if anyone even cared to read that much lol. Lets hope and pray for a better turnout and even better game in MKX. #TeamShinnok (if hes in lol)

Im all for it if the reset is difficult and if the character is lower like really shitty lol. But yesh exactly! Cyraxs is way too easy...qcs too. I must admit though I love seeing them done to kung lao and kabal lol

I made top 16 with kano in his final "nerfed" patch. He was never good to begin with. Vanilla kano sucked, buffed kano sucked, and nerfed kano sucked. I just like choking bitches, and will continue to choke bitches, if it is allowed. And you will all get gimmicked to death while I complain nonstop about needing a god damned armored move, other than .4 seconds with the most ridiculous inputs, on a move you would never, and should never use to armor through anything.

Buff kano 2015x

Yeah lbsh the only way smoke stands a decent chance against lao or kabal is with reset, not saying he cant beat them without the reset, but its haaaaaaaaard

Hey guys,

This is something that i really want to ask everybody in this community. With the mass speculation/leak/reveal of MK10, it's important that we all take some things on board, things that we've all learned from our time with MK9 and Injustice.

DO NOT OVER REACT TO EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING.

What I mean is, every time something would be revealed, like a character havigng certain setups/tools/strengths, the communtiy would throw a massive fit, complain and cry for nerfs till the Cows come home. This straight up can't happen with MK10, in my opinion of course. Because all we end up with is characters being nerfed, others being buffed (sometimes unnecessarily), and we just end up with a different list of braindead top 5 characters.

No more "nerf Kano Up Ball",

No more "MK is dominated by zoners",

No more "nerf low hat",

No more "you guys are up playing your character",

No more "Deathstroke rules Injustice 2 days in",

No more "this character is too strong" threads being made daily,

And so on.

If something is revealed, we have to pull together as a community and figure it out. Break it down and see if it's as bad as we think it is, if it is, we come up with ways to try and counter it with our respected characters. Lets not think about what we can't do, and lets focus on what we CAN do.

If someone thinks their character is better than everyone makes out, lets listen to what they have to say. Get some games in with them and see what they're talking about. Don't judge a community as a whole because of their tournament placing characters, and lets not think that our scene is the be all end all to pay attention to. Because this gets proven wrong time and time again.

Finally, lets use MK10 as a chance to become the best tournament players we've ever been. I loved what we all managed to achieve with MK9, I strongly believe the TYM community took that game to a completely different level in the two years it was played worldwide. Lets do this even more with the next installment.

Cheers, guys!

It's not the hardcore gamers that ruin stuff like this. It's the casual gamers who drop the game after 6 months and whine and complain and tweet, etc. They are probably not on TYM and this will fall on deaf ears :(

I know, and I think personally Smoke isn't as high as some people make him out to be. He's good mostly because of the reset, like to zone with him if I can but he really is at some point about getting up close with those combos. I think it's really hard for most of the roster to beat Kabal or KL lol. I use Ermac and Sektor, and believe me it's not fun. But in a way, when someone counterpicks me with KL Or Kabal, I take it as a compliment lol if they run to a top tier to hang with my mids. It's that much more enjoyable for me.
