I'm not sure how to respond to this, so I quoted it hahaha. I was one of the people who expected Khaotik to make top 8, if not make it out of my pool in winners. I was extremely nervous about going up against him. Although his loss to Tetra was very surprising, do not sleep on him. A lot of people are only surprised about his loss because he lost to Baraka, but until you actually verse him, you wouldn't know how insanely good he actually is (which is why I was extremely surprised when I heard that). He will get back on his feet. I'm not putting anyone or anything anyone said on blast, I'm just trying to help Khaotik a bit because he did not predict himself top 8/16. A lot of top players and members of the community put him there, including me. What Khaotik said about not living up to the hype applies to me as well. I promise both of us will make the community proud :)

Also I don't have any control on your adaptation skills. On top of that I don't have any sympathy for anyone who has a booming offline scene to learn every matchup while I have to find people to play me online. I can't even test shit I have to go to tournaments and get blown up to learn.
CoCo has one of the best scenes in country. We just have to get together and play like GGA and VSM fools do.

Watch Team US vs team UK at EVO. Perfect Legend was not the first person to make me go Kung Lao. You guys can stop pretending like PL was the first person to beat my Kabal with KL now.



Just saying, it's easy to have a resume with no losses against me when we play once a year. If you were to play me every major like a lot of top players do, you would be bound to lose sooner or later.
I don't make the brackets and I don't live on the EC to go to all those regional that happen over there either. I'm not saying I won't lose because of human error which I can't control however. Kabal is not one of my problems match ups like everyone else is. Kabal doesn't have the make up to give Kung Lao real problems but he in my opinion does win the match up.

Tetra is really, really good. I'm saying that Khaotik shouldn't be put on blast like this because he "lost to Baraka." He lost to TetraSpirit's Baraka, not just some Baraka. Both players need to be played before someone realizes how good they really are. Both are outstanding players and they'll do extremely well in their future tournaments. Guaranteed.

Pig of the Hut: Stock neutral. Did not compete but at least has the Kenshi downplaying talking point that there was no Kenshi in the top 16.

Thats right Ladies

Hold dat:

Top 16
3 sonyas
0 Kenshis

But thats ok cause Sonya is definitely bottom 10 and my character is OP Braindead and at the hands of any MK player who touches him you're guanteed top 16/8 especially when you face 7-3 6-4 8-2 MUs in tournaments

#4 reason i love REO he feels me on this

Sonya is very braindead scrubby and people need to stop downplaying her everything the bitch does is safe and gives a combo starter. Easily best d4 in the game too.

LBSH

I recently picked her up and shes beyond f ing dumb as in terms of power and awesome

I recently found it funnier after using her that Sonya (Not showtime and Blake <----These DUDES are 100% balls to the wall respectful which just further amplifies how great players they are and play w no excuses) is so top 5

Not even close.
Kabal can't just get away from teleport 3 vortex he has options to get away but doesnt totally avoid it like cyrax. He doesn't punish kung lao for 80-100% for blocking one spin or dive kick. up close kabal has to deal with hella shit and his best option is flash parry but if you guess wrong on that which is highly probable vs kung lao you are a sitting duck and don't get put in the corner vs kung lao either it becomes a problem for kabal and he can't move.

Kung Lao can't do that to cyrax. I am an advocate that Kung lao vs cyrax is 3-7. Kabal is 6-4 kabal. I'd play a 6-4 any day over a 7-3

Someone needs to make a thread about people pumping themselves up then getting their backs blown out come tournament. Reminds me of Jade saying how easy this is going to be then proceeds to get her back blown out.
