Revenge of the Sith being better than any of the original trilogy is deplorable. I actually felt unwell leaving the theater after seeing it. It was terrible. People were cracking up watching it, at how comical some of the "serious" scenes played out.
I will say, massive props to Wound. He took on King in his home (literally), with all his friends around him cheering him every hit, using a character that was recently nerfed significantly, against possibly the best character ATM and pulled it out. He had everything going against him, and proved everyone who doubted him as a player wrong. I could not speak more highly for what he did.
Now for
@General M2Dave I have a bone to pick with you. I will admit MKX is an offense heavy game, that is something that is apparent to anyone that is at least in a semi-concious state and a pulse. However, Quan's and HQT zoning should not be downplayed. You make it sound as though the zoning of these characters is a small, 8 point font bullet point under the list of the characters tools. This is not true, and in some matches is just as much a strength as their offense. You cannot deny that often large chunks of life will be taken from the opponent zoning with these two characters. Sure, you cannot win entirely based on this strategy due to the nature of the game, but these characters zoning tools are not just above average, they are great.
Also one last note. I believe one person briefly touched upon it, maybe Slips, but predators armor is heavily, heavily downplayed. It is slow, but the damage is massive, and is many many leagues above quan chis EX teleport drop. To note this move also has a fairly nice hitbox, catching low profile moves, which makes it viable as a yolo/read move if you wanted to use it that way, as well. While predators armor can be broken with specific strings often, it will still beat lots of 50/50 attempts, aside from characters like Cassie that cancel into moves like flipkick that are very fast. Normally, to break his armor you have to use a high, fast jab string design specifically for this purpose. For nearly all chars you are sacrificing your mixup to go for this. So to beat his armor, you have to actively avoid doing a mixup, such as 50/50 or throw. This is something significant that is ignored. If you disrespect his armor, you can lose 40% and be switched sides into the corner. Definitely not something you can just say "well it's pretty slow" and write it off.
Awesome podcast though, I love KTP.
