Wong on MKX stream

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Wong on MKX stream

Wong to OP.

Yeah I'm watching justin on stream now. This is a mess. Need multiple controllers for one person.

Hopefully Sony gets this shit fixed. Fighting games absolutely require good legacy support.

 

[Coffeeling]

"Hilde is probably gonna be the worst character in the game"

Anyone got similar statements like this for what would become top tier characters in games?

Not for fighting games, but reading old card evaluation threads for Reveillark and Bitterblossom during the Morningtide spoiler season in late 2007, early 2008 was hilarious. People were saying they were maybe good in casual play and as bombs in draft. But Constructed tournaments? Meh, not worth it.

The cards came to define the Standard format for the rest of its existence. The degree of misevaluation is like calling ST fireballs, 3S parry or KOF hops "gimmicks".

 

[crap monkey]

Jwong is KILLING it! I'm telling you, he's winning MKX.

Edit: ...And he loses as I say this. Oh well, loser's bracket will just unleash the Wong factor for rest of tourney.

i see....

well.... maybe. They already said they were announcing "new" details on SF5 at this event weeks ago.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Is this the same Reo from EC?

 

[smurfx]

hey shouta is the college still throttling the internet? khaos stream looks pretty bad. can somebody post the schedule?

yep

 

[Immortal Technique]

REO vs. Justin Wong , big match in pools


edit: REO takes it!

Tekken (7) stream barely works, if at all. Seattletekken doesn't work great for me (still better), but it might be my connection since it's source-only.

I just dont see it. When Sonic Fox bodies guys you go neck and neck with its more than just abusing a single setup. Its simply outplaying the person. He's gonna do well, but I see folks like Sonic Fox, Pig of the Hut, MIT, and Perfect Legend as your real threats in MKX so far. Still waiting to see how Reo, 16bit, Revolver, and Rico Suave do soon. They're scary, but I think each does best if they have the right character and it sometimes takes folks in that crowd a bit to find a main that suits them I think. Rico and 16 bit though tend to impress me the most on how well they can just out fundamental around any gaps in who they choose to main if their character doesn't completely suit them yet.

 

[TheChits]

Damn good match with REO and Justin

 

[DryEyeRelief]

Well I guess if Justin is winning it, he'll have to do it from losers bracket.

if i enter tournaments I would just use kitana. I am not planning on entering any majors though.

They might be but let me check.

 

[hwateber]

Is justin just not going for the most damaging combos or is the damage discrepancy really that big between Kung jin and raiden? Sorry, I haven't followed MKX too much

 

[shaowebb]

I am so sorry. Lol JK
Its too early to pass judgment on her yet just like Catwoman. She's just not easy mode is all I see so far.

Just found out Sonicfox isn't at this though. Any of the big guns besides Reo in attendance for this?

Guys I'm looking for:
Sonic Fox (nope)
Pig of the Hut
MIT
DJT
Perfect Legend
Reo (yes)
16bit (nope.)
Revolver
Rico Suave

 

[NEO0MJ]

Man, I can't watch that stream at all.

 

[Myn]

Anyways, Ogawa in all reality should put on the most dominant performance you will ever see for NA GG. Remember when Souji came to NEC for Blazblue and from when he got off the plane to when he got back on it he just didn't lose? Expectations are around there. I have some mild hope that maybe somebody Elphelts him or something nuts happens, but if he plays as stable as usual he should plow through everybody.

It's quite a treat to see the best in Japan come out to majors for ASW games outside of Evo, since it's usually just 1-2 players traveling out. I remember back in 2010 when Satoshi came here randomly for BBCS and made all the top US players at the time look like they didn't know how to play. I think he had a fever throughout the tournament too.

I think no matter how good or bad Kitana is I could place top 8 at EVO with her.

Slayer could do really well here. He is playing Kung Jin and is supposedly practicing hella.

...those are the only names I really see there. Okay Justin Wong has a shot at this tourney. I can see Reo beating him though. Or Wonderchef if he doesn't overthink himself.

All in all though this tourney doesn't have a lot of the MKX mainstays at it.

Thanks! I now share your pain at seeing this slideshow.

 

[jwhit28]

Kojikog is getting a lot of screen time on the USFIV stream. His T.Hawk vs Crackfiend's Rog right now and T. Hawk is killing it.

Lol, Arturo Sanchez not getting any respect I see. He went 10/11 with Justin Wong recently, so he could potentially take him out.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Dat choke by Crackfiend lol

Combo Breaker is expected to have a lot of MK killers

I just dont see Arturo as a guy who stays consistent at tournies. He always seems to bobble a match for some reason. He's a top guy,but I see him as someone with potential to lose to anyone in Top 8 because he just overcommits sometimes.

You listed Honzo Gonzo over Arturo Sanchez...

Just enter Combo Breaker and do the RL option select by not practicing!

 

[MrDaravon]

Yeah, the stream quality is not very good. I can't even watch it fullscreen on my monitor, much less on my tv. Was planning on running it on my monitor while I was playing some online games with friends in a little bit, but that's definitely not happening

 

[M_A_C]

I hope they put Aris on stream for his MKX match.

 

[TheChits]

D'vorah's damage! Holy cow

 

[Spacebar]

MKX always looks dark on streams for some reason.

 

[fader]

hm... learned some Dvorah stuff... cant wait to go home and practice them.

 

[NEO0MJ]

D'vorah's damage! Holy cow

That was crazy.

What's the issue with the streams? From the streamer's end, it seems to be OK, they're not dropping frames. It is choppy or something?

Point taken lol

Also really digging Illusions Sun God Kotal Kahn over PR Balrog. Hilarious when he zoned out Cassie with shields.
