Oh man, long-ass post time!
I must say, this tournament was absolutely beautiful. The level of competition was no joke...so many good players! Did not matter what pool you were in, you were gonna have your hands full. You all are awesome and definitely show how amazing MK9 can be!
First and foremost, major, MAJOR props to Big E and Hubbs for again, holding an amazing event, even in event of Hurricane Irene. You guys are absolutely fantastic!
Also, definite shoutout to Phil, aka 9.95. Despite the fact that you couldn't make it out, we know you would've helped to make this tournament even better than it already was, and definite thanks to your undying support of the game alongside Shock, Rob, Storms, etc. Glad to hear you and your wife and pets are safe.
Storms, Shock and Rob, it's always good to see you guys. I wish I could've played you some in MK9 or even UMK3, Shock...but next time for sure, we'll be able to! And Rob, great Sub. We gotta get you better at the Sub-Rep matchup! And Storms, yeah, I stole your spot on that bed.
Tom, always good to chill with you and play some games with you. You always are absolutely hilarious! Great stuff in the tourney, as well. Definite GGs.
Check, good to see you again! Missed you at the last tourney out in Philly! Man, sucks that this time around we didn't get to play any! Ugh! Gotta get games in next time!
Dancock, you're always awesome, dude. Was good to hang with you again! And don't worry, watch the next patch give Sindel god-tier stuff.
AC, was fun to chill with you, even though it was really only the last day. Thank you for introducing me to Wawa's cheesesteaks! Yuuuuuuuuum!!!!!!! That Kabal is very good, as well.
Michaelangelo, glad you made it out here! Was fun chilling with you again. I think you need to move out to near me, lmao! Good shit in the tourney, and hope to see you again soon!
Riu48, good to see you again! Damn, you've gotten so good at MK9! It's crazy! That Cage technology is what's up!
Arturo and Chris G, great to see you guys supporting MK9. Haha, awesome that we were the 3 Reptiles in top 8! Definitely will see you guys at future tourneys.
SwiftTomHanks...very good to meet you, sir! That Sektor is mean, as well. Thanks for the hospitality you showed, as well! You're a really nice guy.
CitizenSnips!!!!!!! Good to meet you as well, finally, and chill with you all weekend. You're a very cool dude. Hope you had a lot of fun, man, cuz I sure did! We gotta get the rest of the Justice League together.
Eazail, good to meet you also! Very good player, and really cool to talk to. Hope to see more of you in the future!
Hitoshura...man, me and you = FUCKING HYPE! GAME...BLOUSES! Hahahahahahaha! Really, really fun times with you, man, and good Noob! Hopefully, I helped you out a bit with the Reptile matchup!
CD, Jr, and Maxter: Man...you guys rock! All amazing players! You guys are really passionate about MK9, and just getting a chance to chill with you guys and play some games just makes me love the game even more than I already do. CD, that Kitana is too sick. Jr, goddamn, you're too good with Rain and Jax, and congratulations on taking MK9! It was well deserved, as well as one of the most ironic things ever that you took it with Rain LOL. Maxter, that Cyrax is epic. Was good hanging with you guys.
J360...was cool meeting and chilling with you, man. Yes, DOWN 4 = MK9'S WIN BUTTON!
Eric Warda, the stuff you do with Kabal seriously makes me think of him as C. Viper in MK9...in other words, so crazy and flashy and good! Was great to meet you, man, and props for taking second.
Josh99...this kid, is the future of MK! Like, for real. Really cool to meet you...coolest 12-year-old I know, haha, and definitely a great player at this game. Definitely gotta play you so I can teach you how to play so damn dirty!
Darth Arma, good to meet you, man. That Cyrax is really strong. You're a really chill dude, too.
MagnetoHalfway, man, it's all about that 151! Lol, cool dude to talk to, and one hell of a Kung Lao player.
Damn, I am likely missing a fuckton of people, so to all you guys, definite shoutouts. You all made this tournament an absolute blast. If it came down to it, I'd go through having to deal with Greyhound's BS just to experience this all over again. Thank you for loving and supporting MK9.
MK9 IS DEAD??? HELL NAH!!!
