I know judotrip or The absolute yall need to show up so i can level up my kitana. Sucks walkin by don’s and not seeing that station getting used.
I’m talking about putting her in the sack, unmasked, unfiled teeth.
Well it is what it is with MK9 players. I prepare a table every Friday night for MK9 players to join us and no one shows up. I understand that most of MK9 players who play here play other fighting games like AE, MVC3, and the cabinets. So I’m not addressing them. It’s just the people who only play MK9. We have great MK9 players like Galzpanic, Judotrip, and The Absolute but there’s no one here to play them and level up with them. And since these guys are good at other games like MVC3 and AE, why should they waste their time and money at MK9 when they could have a lot of fun at my place playing MVC3 and AE. It’s not fair for these guys to carry the whole load for MK9. I’m not mad it’s just that this great game literally gets no play at all. Where is the heart and fire and competition from the MK9 community? I got a new 27inch TV for MK9. I could put this TV to better use. But I just want to reiterate that I’m not mad but I just want to let people to know that the days for MK9 at my place are running out unless things pick up.
As Alex Valle once said “Without the players Street Fighter is nothing”. The same goes with other fighting games. And if this trend for MK9 continues then the game will be taken out.
Because Third Strike is coming soon. And you could use your TE sticks for it:)
It’s not their fault. They’re only two players and they play other fighting games like AE. Judotrip has a killer Bison and The Absolute has a great Makoto in AE. So it’s not their fault that there’s more comp for SF. Why should they carry the load for MK9 when there should be a community for this game.
It’s the “MK9 only” players that don’t show up. I know two MK9 players who came in, saw no one was playing MK9 and snuck out and left lol. Which is cool but guys like that who like MK9 only should start getting the MK9 players together. But I think the community for MK9 is not strong. It’s almost EVO and like no one is showing up for this game.
So I heard even more people talking about City of Industry.
lol. Did they also mention the $500 room?
lol that’s not really my bag but they also said the overall talent was tip top.
Gotta set up a trip meing.
i lost to a bunch of scrubs over the weekend
i’m mad because it means my skill deteriorated by THAT much
maybe i need to get back into it
What games did you play?
mostly AE. i played a little bit of mvc3 but i am so bad at that game so it doesn’t matter.
(still got angry. hi i’m amaterasu my half life combo is forward h x 6 and any moron can hit confirm it)
I may swing by this Friday to blow off some steam. My plans for EVO just fell right through the crapper.
lol soooo true xD
are you complaining about MASHING in mvc3???
Nah, they’re complaining that someone other than Phoenix or Wolverine is over powered in the game. THIS IS NEW!
So why aren’t you going to EVO again?
Last minute change of plans with family members staying for a few weeks, things shifted to crash on that weekend so I’m a no go for EVO.
Happy Birthday RJ:)
What about your SF family?
Sorry I wasn’t able to make it the past couple of weeks. It really sucks to hear that MK9 is getting no play here, but I’m not really surprised. I think the main reason the community is so weak for this game is that it’s not really a strong competitive game. It’s a really fun and polished game, but it’s just not that good as a competitive fighter. I think it has something to do with the way it feels and how technically easy most things are. Also, there was no real MK (especially out in LA it seems) community to begin with due to the games in between UMK3 & MK9 being mostly garbage. I personally never really played any of the MKs after UMK3 & MK9 now. So the MK community is basically on a fresh start, and may require to more time to actually come to.
But I think the nail in the coffin is like you mentioned, game fragmentation. Most of the guys who were playing MK9 couple months ago were mainly playing other games. It seems like a lot of Capcom players tried MK for a bit, but they just didn’t stick with it. I know there are MK players like GalzPanic & Kevin that play there that’ll end up playing AE or Marvel cause the competition is better. Even with my good friend OUTforJUSTICE, who mainly plays AE & Super Turbo, dropped the game recently. He said something about it not feeling right to play strategically. And this guy was super excited about the game too. So like you said, why won’t these guys just go back to the better games like AE or MvC3 and not waste their time with MK9? It just goes to show how much Capcom understands these fighting games & make the best fighters even if they might be considered “broken” by a bunch of people.
When I went to the first summer WNF last week, there were 16 of us in the MK9 tourney. That is pretty pathetic. But I think this is what the norm is going to be from here on in. I’m sure there will be a pretty big showing at EVO for this game, but a lot of players will likely drop the game after that similar to what a lot of players did after the PDP tournament. The game will probably have smaller tournaments after that and will likely have a small niche community. The only way the MK scene can get better is if NetherRealm keep making better games and keep supporting the series until it picks up again.
I really like MK9. I agree with a lot of people that it might not be the best competitive game, but it’s fun as hell to play so I keep playing it. Even though it might be “broken” in certain aspects, you can still apply a lot of strategy towards it and be successful. And don’t get me wrong, I love AE, MvC3, and all of the older Capcom fighters. I actually still prefer those games over MK9. But I can’t deny any fun solid fighter.
I hope I can make it this Friday for some games. Maybe I can bring Kazu or OUTforJUSTICE with me. Oh and Don, did you get any of the DLC characters for MK9 by chance? It’ll be cool to play Skarlet & Kenshi with some people. Oh and btw, I think the Makoto you’re referring to is probably GalzPanic. I’m mainly a Blanka player in AE. I really suck at that game now, but I hope to level up with you guys over there.
