Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament: (Road to EVO 2013) (May 24-26, 2013) (Chicago, Illinois, USA) See more stream video from UFGT9 / vgbootcamp and / leveluplive Oh, yeah guys - GGA Dizzy is a true master!
It's so amazing and fun to see how the combos and strategies in this game have evolved in only just a few years. If you go back and watch the 2011 and 2012 tournaments, you just can't compare how good they were back then anymore. Netherrealm studios did such a great job. I love this game!
If comments on the various youtube videos of MK9 fights are true, 85 % of all the MK9 characters are cheap, OP, imba etc.: "Kung Lao is sooo cheap", "Kenshi is the cheapest character of all time", "Kabal is totally imba", "Cyrax is way OP", "Cage should be banned from tournaments, so cheap", "Raiden's teleport makes him so imba!", "even a noob could win EVO with Smoke, so cheap", "speaking of noobs, Noob Saibot is totally OP, can just stand there and spam shadows", "only cheap players use Sonja, she's imba like hell" and on and on it goes. I think the only character I've never seen being accused of being cheap is Sheeva. Guess you need to win a tournament with her to not be considered "cheap".
It's because unlike other fighting games MK is played by a lot of casual guys who do 2-5 hit combos (Spear into uppercut, Smoke bomb into Air throw etc.) and think knowing fatalities makes you the shit and is the main goal of the game. It's more commercial and there are people who play the game like it's still 1992 when the first one came out. BTW I've read comments complaining about Sheeva... "peepul spam teh unblokaball grownd pownd and u you cant do anything also teh 14% on a throw? wat makes her so specall?!" It's stupid and you just have to ignore it. :/
The only character I feel is cheap is Cyrax. Kabal might seem cheap to people but from what I hear it takes a while to master nomad dash cancel and such. But with Cyrax all you do is need to memorize one combo and you're pretty much guaranteed to win a match.
Here's a big secret that will help you in life; Everyone bitches. No matter how good they have it everyone bitches. And this is in everything not just in video games you're going to see this in jobs and everything. Everyone thinks they have it so much worse than they have it in reality.
Seeing a Kenshi player get smacked down by Johnny Cage is so satisfying. I'm not too sure what the devs were thinking when they designed Kenshi's moves but he's really cheap.
That pretty much goes for all of the DLC characters, Freddy is also a terrible matchup for Cage but has a much steeper learning curve (although I think another part to some extent of it is that players don't like using him because they'd rather play a traditional MK character lol). In fact, ironically, NRS designed Rain to be the most overpowered and he's actually the worst of the four.
Morgan Freeman That's a laughable example misguided by online play. Even before Deathstroke was nerfed in Injustice, his rap sheet is meagre compared to Zod, Batgirl and MMH (all of which are DLC characters, anyone seeing the correlation here hmm?)
strykah92 Deathstroke isn't OP, he's just annoying to fight against. That's the story with most zone-heavy characters. Unfortunately Kenshi takes it a step beyond being 'zone heavy' and is just broken.
nah, he's not cheap, Noob is cheap, Kenshi is too slow and both "Rising Karma" and "Spirit Charge" are too predictable to be annoying as Noob's "Shadows", Noob is alot faster than Kenshi, and he still has a "teleport move" -___- ... so... yeah... !!
ILIKECHICKEN76 Really? I play very often with Scorpion and get often owned because i use the Teleport… (just block it) And everyone who uses Noobs teleport is a noob (haha, get it? Noob=noob…).
This was really great to watch. Enjoyed it a lot, very different from all fighting games. i miss brutalities!! i think people sleep on this game. Its #1 for taking it to the next level!!
@flamingninja98- it's because the opponent can not wake up attack, and he can only recover into a block. Therefore, Cage still maintains pressure advantage, which is Cage's game. You then get a whole lot of chip damage from F333 or 111 for free.
Hello everyone. Tell me please a name of song, playing in 01:45:30. I think, this is some beautiful remix of Guile Theme. But I need to know exact title.
Dude I was totally thinking about the magic school bus episode where they shrunk the bus super small and drove through the boys scab into his body and delivered antibiotics so he wouldn't be sick. The best. I think the guys name was Stanley
I remember this one guy who played that character..... what was his name again? It's okay, no worries. We're just sleep deprived/haven't been on the scene for 9 months, it's cool to not remember anyone's name during commentary. Anyway, shout outs to that guy! I... I just can't... *cringe* Regardless, great matches. Good to see a Liu Kang and a Sektor in Top 8.
Не смотря на то, что большинство американских топ игроков МК9, активно осваивают Injustice Gods Among Us, ждем CEO 2013 и надеемся, что в категории МК9 будет представлена элита...
Blocked normals still cause chip damage in this game and nut punch allows Cage to follow up any combo he does with a free Block String. Anytime you knock someone down they have the option to do a wake up attack or a tech roll in order to reverse or avoid any follow up offense. Nut Punch allows Cage to bypass all of the guess work and just go right back on the offense and, at the very least, adds a little bit of guaranteed damage to the end of your combo.
To anyone who bitches about a player's certain character choices or fight style, it's a TOURNMANENT. They are fighting for MONEY. Who gives a shit if someone spam zones or does constant back dashing. The best player wins, period. It's called survival of the fittest.
Here's a few words for ya: fairplay, honor, pride, respect. Winning without these doesn't really feel worth it, unless you are some sort of cold ass sociopath.
hi ppz how yall doing im on xbox id say im real good need a gym partner who loves the game as me but very few people are even on these days any one fancy train gamertag plz thanks
My top ten mk9 for matches agaist other players 10. Smoke 9. Kabal 8. Shao Kahn 7. Kenshi 6. Goro 5. Sub Zero 4. Scorpion 3. Cyrax 2. Raiden 1. Kintaro If I were these ppl at this tournament I would be kintaro he is a beast
That Kenshi vs Kitana match was a but much, I understand that these guys are really good, but what's with the trick spamming? These guys are good enough to do seriously good combos, and I know they're all competing but trick spamming is just cheap
i dont get all the hate on kenshi . his not that good , just like Dizzy showed in this tournamount . kenshi is so beatable .just jump at the right time and your good. kenshi vs cage its 6/4 for me , not hose 8/2 or 7/3 you see on TYM . Rushdown characters have the advantage in this game , kung lao , kabal , sonya, smoke , jax etc ...
DXXP haha true! I just hate that they nerfed Johnny. Also, I won tons of matches with Mileena & Kitana online but still Mileena is so unsafe. It's not fair
Kenshi should be forbidden on competetive matches, because you can basically win with every player ( bad or pro ) using 3 tricks ! KENSHI IS SO CHEAP !
Honestly, I think Kenshi players are cheap if you use those same couple specials you won the game which is unfair to certain players. For example, Kitana players.
