I [Slips] was recently interviewed about the classic Valley Stream Monsters vs. Midwest grudge match back in the 2011 MK9 days by @piemaster. Well-made video and a glimpse of the one of, if not the first, heated rivalries this community got hype for. So, if you're newer to this community, you...

Game sound was a little loud when I recorded this, so just to give a brief explanation. Scorpion can option select his teleport to come out when his b3 hits and for the cancel to come out if his b3 is blocked. Why this is useful: This is most useful for Ninjutsu since he cannot do b3 cannot...

So after months of playing Scorpion, pre-patch and post-patch, I feel like I can make a pretty accurate assessment of the character and his variations. Scorpion is a pretty good character. Mid tier, possibly high mid tier. I'll go over all the major categories that make a character and rank...

So I think these are as optimal as it gets for Scorpion's Hellfire combos. If there is some way to squeeze out more damage without losing his reset with 1 bar or just more raw damage with 2 bars I'm all ears. There's probably juicy corner stuff but I'm not creative with that until I know what...

Because block stun is bigger than hit stun in this game, you will sometimes get some random results when your opponent blocks your b3~RC combo. This is a recording of me hitting the same run cancel combo over and over. Then resetting it, I block them. Check it out. Fun combo but in the...

Hello TYM & potential Brothers. @WoundCowboy & I have decided we must officially start an organization of players who use only male characters. Specifically, male characters that are badass. No weirdo characters like Bridgett in Guilty Gear and no unknown or unisex characters like Leo from T6...

Was talking to @piemaster about the Smash Bros. Documentary and who would be the 7 gods of MK9 if a documentary was made about our scene like the Smash scene. If you haven't watched the Smash Bros. documentary, it's pretty much an overview of the evolution of the game, it's community, and an...

He loves his job. He enjoys hurting you. He's King Hippo. Congrats to him and Deathstroke for placing at top 8 at SCR. Looks like I'm not just some godlike player who can take shitters and win. Maybe, just maybe, Slade Wilson is actually pretty good. So let's take a moment and salute Mr...

I know a lot of people are having trouble transitioning from the good ole dash blocking of MK9 to the dedicated dashing thats in Injustice, so I thought I'd give a quick rundown on how movement works in the game. I'll eventually go over other fundamental aspects of the game such as zoning...

There are times to hug another man, and there are times you don't. If you place top 8 at a major does that warrant you giving out a bro hug to one of your friends? Or does it violate man-law? What do you all think?

For those who know what this means, it appears I have a chance to redeem what a lot of people call one of the biggest chokes in MK9's history. Opportunities have opened up for Slips to fill a giant hole in his soul that formed when he failed to 'get it on' with a smoking hot 21-year old girl...

In the midst of a vortex there is a great void, a void no one or no thing can get out of. Using Check's new tech, I found a new world of vortex's at Scorpion's disposal. Pretty much after the 2nd spear you do in fact have enough time to to hit with BOTH of Scorp's 50/50 options while your...

I've noticed most tournies for UMK is on arcade. Now I know this is the classic format and all, but it seems to me there would be more of a response if tournies were held on 360's being a) most UMK players play on XBL anyway and, as horrid as it is, used to the 360 controllerb) arcade stick...
