Why do you give a shit dude? If he wants to do things his way let him. He sees benefits in his way and there is no need to go on like a scorned ex girlfriend because he didn't graciously accept the schooling. Also, you are just wrong in how much value you are putting into your advice. F12 ender would have made absolutely no difference to what he lost to at EVO.
And you're just as bad. Since when does one person speak for the entirety of the Sub Zero community? I don't give a shit cause I no longer play the character, but you are just going to cut ties with all your fans out thee because of something one person said? Pretty lame way to treat the people who support and admire you in this game Tom
Kenshi and Kitana take the trophy for whinniest "community" in the game lol.
Im not participating in this argument, would just like fact check for a second here. Sub-Zero community has made the salt report only twice, once directly after the Ice Clone nerf, and once directly after the patch where absolutely EVERY OTHER character received a balance update, and Sub Zero players quite vocally just wanted their play style dictating BUGS fixed (you remember the Tom Brady threads about Clone coming out based on a breathe box, the videos showing how it holds back his gameplay?) but, inexplicably, he was the only character in the entire game to remain completely unchanged. Of course, Sneaky Tortoise being the aware and intelligent individual that he is, blanket described the complaining about lack of bug fixes as "Sub-Zero players are complaining about balance again (???) and won't be happy until the Clone is buffed to win them the game the second it's used" so I think this second placing actually says more to the rest of us about Sneaky Tortoise's salt, lol.
I do like Aris' commentary as well, but his commentary just slowly grew on me. The brothers are classic style pros - like Pat Summerall and Keith Jackson. They're writing the book in a professional manner. They serve as the legitimizing force competitive gaming needs right now. Competitive gaming is still in the early stages and Ketchup and Mustard are serving as the Howard Cosells of commentary. They are showing everyone how to do it professionally.
I care because he is one of the last Sub players and I want him to win. He asks people for advice and to help but nothing seems to be worthy to him. If he wants to continue his way it's fine but it's disheartening when he could level up with everyone and train wreck in tournaments. His game is for the most part solid and that was one of the only weaknesses I saw excluding the character limits and issues. I'm one of the few who actually tried to support and help him and others. The pieces of advice are wherever I left them, use them or not. I will help where I can as I go along. @I GOT HANDS It's sad to see you leave Sub considering you came up with tech and worked together with me and others.
Well, maybe the brothers are decent for this game, but the world of competitive gaming is much larger than MKX and as part of the audience for multiple other more established ones, I will safely say that nobody comentating MKX is pioneering anything as far as competitive gaming goes, in fact for the most part they ain't even keeping up. Except for maybe Aris. He's my favourite commentator from anything ever
Yeah but it's clear Tom has his own way of doing things so I wouldn't dwell on him not wanting to do things a different way. He goes with what works for him, no sense in beating on the man for wanting to do otherwise.
yeah.. no sz's are good which is the problem... sure...
I am very confident. I have no doubt that I am one of the best players in the world nor do I doubt that I am the best version of the character. Also, Madzin enjoys himself because he hasn't had 5 years of people bashing him and looking to prove just how bad he is. Win or lose, he gets left alone and no one says "proof you are bad". Five years of it gets rough and tends to wear you down. He's great when he does well and still great when he doesn't. With me I'm bad when I miss top 8 and even when I end up placing it will be downplayed as not good enough or there will be some reason why It was luck, easy path, etc... We are in two completely different set of circumstances.
Awesome.... but it could be better.... I think we need to make it better.
Well, "forget" is a pretty big assumption, not everyone follows every single tournament, especially the boring ass Tanya ones, and I was just asking a question.... But regardless, I did see that, and didn't he play Tempest Lao like the entire tournament except for that troll ass final vs his brother, where he won like only 2 of his matches as Sub Zero? Or do we chalk up that entire tournament to Sub-Zero because he was used in the final match? I guess Reptile technically came second then since he won a game in the finals as well?How soon they forget.

Good post but seriously Tom, just stop letting trolls get you down. Why do you care what random people say in a stream chat or forum? The main reason why so many trolls target you is because they are 100% guaranteed to get a response or reaction from you. I personally do think that you can go to SJ and place top 8 with sub zero but despite what you just posted I really doubt that you believe it. Confidence is EVERYTHING in competition. Look at Tiger Woods. You need to just practice, lab, and play and not respond to the trolling and drama. Go make top 8 at SJ man. You CAN do it but only if YOU think you can and don't go into the tournament thinking about what xtombradysux420x or troll69tomlulz or whatever irrelevant person will say if you do end up getting 13th.
Dude I'm a big fan of yours and i see how much people like to bash you when most of them haven't even scratched the surface of what you have accomplished. i know it's not easy but you just gotta find a way to say "FUCK THE HATERS" and do what you want to do. it doesn't matter what the fuck anyone thinks when you win or lose.
"The first death of mkx" thread says hello
Making waves in the entire fighting game community for throwing tantrums at tournaments and raging that your main is too weak DURING live tournament matches says hi as well.
