RETURN OF THE KING -- Calling Out Sonic Fox

You guys may say I'm a top player, consistent placer or whatever you want to call me. But that's no longer good enough for me anymore. I realized that I was at my best in MKX when I was having fun playing the game religiously, training hard every single day. But after SCR I went back to my house in Ohio for about 3 months and played the game once or twice a week, only for an hour or so each time. I definitely started to notice it reflect in my gameplay, and in my tournament results. It saddens me that I'm no longer the dominant force in tournament I once was.

But once Kombat Pack 2 releases, it's going to breathe new life into MKX with new characters and balance changes across the cast. I know I'm going to have so much fun fleshing out matchups and discovering new characters. I'm going back to training really hard, I also quit smoking and excessive partying and things that are holding me back from being the best version of myself. Mark my words; When the big tournament season rolls around again (Combo Breaker, immediately after Midwest Championships, immediately after TCW, immediately after ECT, etc.) You can expect to see The King come back at full force.

You guys tired of seeing @SonicFox5000 win too much? You guys want to see him defeated, for a glorious change of pace? Just wait until I get back to my prime and I'll put on a show :D Or forget reaching my prime, let me make a new prime for myself and become better than I ever was.

THE KING'S RETURN IS COMING
I have to get in on the training, especially when the new netcode drops.

My favorite @YOMI FOREVER KING quote is actually from KIT. After being eliminated from the tournament, you walked over to @GuamoKun (I believe) and said "Hey Guamo, at least now I can REALLY drink".

As soon as I heard that, I realized you just haven't had your head in the game. I've never been a true fan :p but I'm glad to see you're at least planning on taking the game seriously again. For a few months there, you were an absolute monster. Looking forward to seeing someone #MopTheFox.

Best of luck, man!

P.S. Next time I'm at an event that you're at, I'll do us both the courtesy of formally introducing myself lol. I know it's creepy when someone quotes you with something and you're like "WHODAFUQISDIS?"

I just maintain superiority by saying the following: 'Quote dez nutz.' It works out.

I wish I had a StarGazer quote...Uhhhh, the best I can do is

"I wouldn't have gone for the ultra, I would have gone for damage into the hard knockdown"

To which everyone disagreed by insisting that the ultra DID accomplish exactly what needed to be accomplished.

Admittedly, I didn't hear this conversation, my homie did so my quote is probably all kinds of wrong on top of out of context. My bad. I tried :(

EDIT: Actually, I think I might even have the wrong person. I might have to 'quote dem nutz' indeed

Really? For a MENTAL activity? He actually posted this?

You forgot the most important, train till your hair fall out... so you don't have to shave them. 2 in 1

Will you play any of the characters from the kp2 by any chance?I wanna see more than hat spin, 44 into full combo into pressure....:rolleyes:
To be fair, tempest isn't an easy character to win with against top level competition.

He's got no real comeback factor and relies almost 100% on good spacing and stupid reads in his own rush down. So it's not real 'pressure' as much as it is constant micro-reads.

Depends who fits my style I suppose.

I was just joking about the hatspin into 44 lol...(No need to remind of poe's law)I realize tempest isn't just mash 112124 all day infact i can't link hatspin into 44 online a day in my life!
I'm pretty sure in the kombat kast ketchup was doing ex flame on block and mustard was holding the pressure, maybe its "Kind" of like hatspin.But I'd still really like to see what you do with kung lao this year or if you try out other characters.

Good luck in whatever events you're going to!

was talking with Jim about this exactly... as for now you have to earn your respect with Lao, you're not making someone respect your options regardless just like other characters do.

also trying to counterpoke some character could be deadly at times, and you have to rely on a good read on the ex spin.

Join the Bo family tho... still Shaolin :)

Lao would always be my first choice anyways
