GGA Wafflez Wins Mortal Kombat 9 at Final Round 16 + Going to the Video X Games!

Alternative-Fact Checker
So let's look at this:

-MK Community's "heroes" are down: Pig, Mr. M and Blake all didn't make top 8
-Tommy isn't mentioned in the "top player" showcase FR preview
-My podcast specifically discussing Tommy's FR game plan isn't front paged after request
-Two guys who could give two shits about MK, Pokchop and Chris G, come away with major victories over established MK guys

Could the internet be more on blast right now?
 
Can we also be serious about Reptile? Chris G doesn't give a shit about this game yet is more successful than our dedicated Reptile players. The Reptile community is on blast because Chris G is probably the best with this character now. HE GETS IT. He understands how powerful dash and forceball are for conditioning and control. It's the same shit I've been saying for 2 years and Reptile players here downplay and say I'm wrong then Chris G goes out and does the best with this character.
I'd like to have a word with you 16 bit.........., i haven't busted him out since dallas, but that doesn't mean i lost my touch with him, need i remind ppl of how good my reptile is again? haha but respect to chris fo sho

Shiiiiiiiiiit, this is too true.

And in all honesty, the only reason I feel Chris even loses at times is because of terrible matchup experience compared to every Reptile still playing.

I didn't want to admit it back then, but Chris is definitely the best Reptile. No offense to any of the other Reptiles, but can you really sit there and deny his accomplishments? He is literally the ONLY Reptile to even win a major, and is one of like 4 or 5 Reptiles to be consistently cracking top 8/16 with the character, with a generally stronger track record, too.

He gets the character, and I hate how much I shyed away from how he played him.

I never knew how to feel about young tommy waffles bodying me since everyone at GGA talks about how dumb he is. Good to know waffles is indeed actually pretty good and i can not feel like shit anymore when i lose to him. :p Good shit waffles those matches with scar and gross proved to everyone your skills and your ability to adapt. I now wont feel ashamed sending you a friend request on facebook so i dont have to keep looking at your ugly mug in the 'people you may know' section.

Shout outs to roomy Jerimiah. Way to keep your composure after that assholish fatality and keep your bullshit runabouts, parlor tricks and shenanigans fresh and silly. D,u is broke.

I'm not saying your accomplishments aren't great. But again, he is the only Reptile to have won a major. On top of that, he has been fairly consistent in his standings, much like you have been.

i'll give him that he won a major, but he hasn't done better vs top players than I have. Ppl can vouch for me on that.

Man, I fell asleep about halfway through the stream! My Game of Thrones marathon caught up with me, I suppose.

Time to dive back in and see this greatness unfold.

Congratulations to Wafflez!
