I don't think Dave needs to apologize for anything since the tittle of his thread was "initial impressions" people gotta quit taking shit out of context already.
Maybe it would have been OK if he wasn't an asshole to everybody who didn't share his obviously wrong opinion. Next time he should keep his character analysis to himself .

I wish they would started including variations on the updates not just the chars players used.
Absolutely not. He went on to insult players llike used for glue saying that they "lacked a basic understanding of the game" and that no amount of labbing would make this character good because of the frames. Get out.

Edit: wrong post quoted, on my phone, pretend I quoted the one where you said dave shouldn't apologise

Let's talk about how seriously everyone takes Dave threads for some reason

Not that I care because I am used to being attacked, but fools tell me "drink bleach and die" and make threads in order to insult me personally, yet I am supposed to be the asshole? You are another ignorant follower and ass kisser.

I was wrong about Tremor but only about Aftershock because this variation somewhat diminishes Tremor's weaknesses in the footsies and full screen zoning game. I believe Aftershock Tremor is a solid character, but I doubt he is top tier. And this tournament proved absolutely nothing to me. DJT is one of the community's best players who plays the game ten hours a day while Alucard has placed top 8 with much worse characters.

I don't follow anybody . My comments towards you have always been negative because of your attitude and straight up ignorance you post. I'm not ripping on you because its the popular thing to do.You are the one who has followers for some unknown reason . Also I would prefer it if you don't group me with retarded 14 year olds who would tell somebody to drink bleach over a video game , seeing how i've never made such statements.
 
Anybody else notice how DJT played very different when fighting Wound in winners finals? It was like he was on a roll all other matches then all of a sudden he started dropping every single combo and playing very timid. I almost thought he was throwing the match lol.

It's all a conspiracy. He did it on purpose to make Shinnok look even better than he already is. Now NRS will take the fact that DJT and SonicFox lost to Shinnok into consideration when making balance changes, and nerf him to the ground.

*evil laugh*

This is what forums are for. Not everyone will agree with your opinion and thats how it works.

It's funny that @cR WoundCowboy was the only Shinnok in top 16 at Evo, and the only one in top 8 here. Yet it is the character and not Cowboy who won a major. BS Shinnok is top 5, but I don't see anybody else beating Terry brothers with him. Sonic even tried that in this tournament's top 8. His BS lost to DJT's Tremor. And wound also used Impostor against Michaelangelo.
It is also funny how people say that placement at majors doesn't matter in deciding the character's tier placement when Reptile makes top 8 or Jason makes top 16 here, but as soon at it fits the agenda - it matters a lot.
Anyways they need to nerf BS a bit and particularly his dark beam. But I would love some Impostor buffs in return)))
SonicFox played him in top 8 too.

He's a braindead easy character that is pretty straight forward, but that is what makes Wound's win even more impressive. Everyone in the top 8/16 either had a pocket shinnok or played against Shinnoks all the time and knew how to fight him, yet Wound still dominated. Just because a character is easy doesnt mean they are easy to win with. Wound won because he has great fundamentals and great MU knowledge.

P.S. by your logic Tanya isnt that good because MIT is the only one who has placed with her post-patch. Arguing how good a character is by their tournament placings is hella dumb.

Edit: All that being said I think BS Shinnok is hella dumb lol.

Cowboy is too good with BS Shinnok. And he doesn't even like the character for god's sake.

Showtime and Royale used Kano, but they ended up switching to better characters later on. He's ok but he cant compete with the amount of dirt some characters have.
Kano is the most Solid and Balanced character in this game in my opinion. ALL of his variations are solid compared to some of the high tier characters, who only have one truly good variation while the other two are lacking or just not as good. I agree that he can't really deal with some of the dirt some of the higher tiered characters have, his only real option for that is extreme patience and making good reads. The thing about Kano though is that his strings are overall safe to throw out, and his corner game is very scary in all three variations in my opinion.
