Whoa whoa. I have heard MKX called a great many things before but I have never heard it called a great game before. REO is probably one of the smartest players we have in this scene. You would do well to listen to his opinions. I'm not saying you have to agree with him, but you should at least listen to, and think about what he has to say.
This. This right the fuck here.
Can I ask you guys all a question?
WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED TO THIS COMMUNITY?
Are you all on drugs?
Like, actual hard line nose cartilage eating will turn you into a godless heathen drugs?
What are we even talking about here? Pig, the definitive Kenshi player of the last five years - and you can say whatever you want about him, public opinion doesn't negate facts, the man is the literal face of Kenshi when it comes to competitive MK - tries to gain ground on a serious issue pertaining to the new meta and whatnot...and it devolves into rhetoric and slander over Reo supposedly ruining MKX? Who in the blue fuck among any of us outside of the people who actually built and designed this game has done more to help educate and inform the community than Reo since the beginning? Since even before Yomi took over the scene and the game's lifespan played out as it has thus far, aside from a few choice cut Kombatants like Ketchup and Mustard and the like, Reo has been the fucking Gandalf The White of this game. While SonicFox has been laying waste to tournaments and making everyone look like fools, guys like Reo and Pig and Brady (WHO REALLY NEEDS TO ANSWER MY CHALLENGE I WANT MY FIGHT BRADY OKAY MOVING ON) have been on point every chance they get to break this game we love down and help everyone stay competitive, and this is the best that can be summed up out of it? Another six or seven pages of mindless bitching and bantering?
Where is the work? The hunger? The fighting spirit? Why is it that instead of taking an issue like this one and breaking it down and figuring out how the hell to get around it that we're sitting here throwing barbs back and forth like fucking politicians? I feel like Mugatu in Zoolander when he screamed at everyone who was mesmerized by Derek in spite of the fact that he only had one damn look; I see this go on, and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
If any of you reading this taking part in this mess of a debate still regard yourselves as competitive MK players, then you all need to stop worrying about what Pig or Reo are doing or trying to get done about this, and start worrying about what YOU AS A PLAYER are going to do about it.
And that goes fucking DOUBLE, TRIPLE AND QUADRAGODDAMNDUPLE for all you Kenshi players both in the public eye and lurking in the shadows. I may have not gotten to make a tournament since last year's Summer Jam because my real life has been a swirling torrent of chaos and misery, but i have lived, breathed and eaten this fucking game every chance I've gotten since, and if I can be as comfortable, capable, happy, and WAY the hell more confident in myself now than I was before the patch and adapting to the game as it exists now, then I really don't know what more can be done or said.
You all make me wish I was drunk.
I love you guys, but come the hell on.
