Who is the best MK9 player (Ed Boon Asks)

[LawAbidingCitizen]

PL
Reo
CDJR

That order, pretty much inarguable

How did PL place first and earn less money from majors?I'm thinking REO placed higher consistently so that's probably why Esports Rankings shows

1. REO
2. CDjr
3. DetroitBallin
4. Maxter
5. Justin Wong
6. Perfect Legend
7. DJT
8. Pig Of The Hut
9. fLoE
10. Curbolicous
11. Dizzy
12. 16-Bit

Don't do this to me, that thread is depressing because thats when a lot of those awesome guys weren't only talked about on here & for the most part they were here....damn you all. . lol

list holds up though

 

[Euph0nic]

to have such an epic lifelong ball-and-chain meme as 13-0, contrast is required; like this. Carl was once really good.
PL
CDjr
REO
Pig
DJT
F_K

but if you're looking to represent the community then ask your question differently.

I guess send that to Boon. Thanks for linking that thread, I didn't know this debate occurred on TYM. But I do like the new opinions I've seen, fresh ideas.

 

[TheJaquio]

Going solely by the categories that Boon is giving, I imagine it'd have to be REO or CDjr. But, 2 back-to-back EVO wins is too hard to ignore, so I guess PL.

 

[NothingPersonal]

 

[G4S Claude VonStroke]

GOAT

 

[TackyHaddock]

Lord reo you silly motherfuckers!

 

[Ares_Supreme]

Perfect Legend. To be the best, you have to beat the best. Those EVO wins are the be all and end all. When you throw in earnings etc, there are far too many other variables to consider...

 

[Alex95]

DJT obviously.
Reo was always second best.

 

[REO]

It sucks that we didn't have shoryuken.com rankings back then during MK9 to keep track of all the majors and tournaments like we do now.

Here's all my results in MK9 (thanks to Triforce for compiling this list for me back when I was EMP). Unfortunately Triforce made this in 2013 so the MK9 tournaments that I competed and placed in after 2013 EVO are all missing but it's better than nothing.

PerfectLegend, Anyone who would deny him that is biased as shit.

 

[ShepherdOfFire]

I'd say REO

 

[Espionage]

Perfect Legend was the best.

Nobody did what he did in MK9.

He won EVO twice. He not only did it twice but it was the way he did it.

He basically disappeared for a good portion of 2011/2012 after he won the first time.

VSM talked mad trash about PL in 2012 and after he did lose convincingly against Mani and was babied by Curbo at MLG Columbus, he leveled up and was I believe top 3 of MLG Anaheim defeating Mani and losing to DJT. He beat Mani again winning EVO right after.

Bare in mind international players were also there at that EVO 2012 plus this was after all the people said PL weren't that good and that he was coward for not playing. PL beat Tyrant, REO, Pig, and Mani at EVO who were no doubt the best players.

Nobody but Sonic Fox in the next NRS games has done what PL did.

PL beat REO not once but twice at EVO.

He beat him in Grand Finals in 2011 and he knocked him to losers in 2012 in which REO was eliminated by F0xy. Reo got his run at EVO 2013 but REO has only got 2nd at EVO. PL has won EVO twice.

EVO is a bigger tournament than MLG, NEC, Summer jam or any other tournament if people wanna talk consistency. Nobody WON the same tournament in MK9 back to back. First NEC MK9 was Detroit and the 2nd year was REO. Nobody won MLG back to back. Between Mani, Detroit and REO this didn't happen. PL won the World Championship back to back. Keep in mind that EVO is called the World championship for a reason.

Nobody but Sonic has done what PL did at EVO.

Sonic is the greatest NRS player of all time because he has not just won tournaments but he has won the same tournaments a year later back to back to back including EVOs where he has won in NRS games 3 times plus all 3 ESLs. Sonic made sure he won EVO in MKX twice.

If you wanna talk about what Championship any of these players WOULD have wanted to win in MK9 any one of those players would of wanted to win EVO especially around that time period.


So on that note PL was the best player overall in MK9.

OH and he has the belt given to him by Boon himself.

PL was the best!

 

[SaSSolino]

I'd say REO, kind of free.

Rankings system planned for incoming TYM update...

We will start fresh with MK11 and even work to backfill where we can.
