I think it just proves how good Kung Lao is... all the young kids I've seen make it far in these tournaments have all used Kung Lao. He can make bad reads and bad decisions and still come out on top. Plus throw in the whole being totally random b/c they don't know much and it's hard to play against them.2 matches is very short to adjust to play style.
He went from a super patient, methodical Kung Lao who used setups to destroy... to a Kung Lao who was very basic and random.
The randomness will be, aways, random... lol... no matter the number of the matches. And well, make your game... is there for both of you... if you loses 4 rounds without doing anything... maybe its not the ramdomness the problem, besides, if you lose this 4 rounds... its not over... you will be in the losers... its only over if you lose, at least, 8 rounds.2 wrong guessed mixups ends a round, 4 rounds and it will be over. Theres no time to adjust to anything in 4 rounds, it will be some guesses and nothing more. We obviously knows that we cant do ft10 but people should to start looking for ways to improve it. Last MLG shwed the direction. They did bo5 all the way till the finals and no one died or anything.
The thing is, the randomness of the results are inversely porportional to the amount of matchs the guys had to play.
while I agree withn what youre saying 3 out of 5 would be a lot better. But this isn't because of Kung lao only, if it weren't subzero vs kung lao, the randomness wouldnt be that hard at all.those 2 kung laos are good examples of the why a serious tournament cant be run with 2 out of 3 matchs.
i agree with you. even a best of 5 doesnt necessarily say much but for a tournament setting it is ideal. i would love most standard games to be bo5 and the grand finals to be a bo7you guys should to look for results between players in a tournament bo3/bo5 and then any longer set of them, the results usually are pretty different. I will give u guys a example I saw yesterday; Daigo was raped recently by Sako (ryu vs ibuki) at a tournament that was bo7 or ft7 im no sure, and recently they had the oportunity to play a bigger set, ft50. 50-27 to daigo. Obviously we cant say for sure how serious they were playing, Sako could be trying to implement new things to his gameplan and all, but I doubt that would be the reason for such huge difference from the results of the tourney.
Today's games are full of rushdowns, mixups and ambiguous shit. bo5 also isnt enough in my opinion, but is better than bo3. What Id like to see asap is a changing in the comunity about it, when they stop accepting bo3s as enough the organizers would have to start doing something, then we would to start discussing about the possibilities, the problems of doing it with bo5s and what can be done to circunvent it.
Yeah... as I said before... bo5 would be great, I agree with that... but keep in mind that a tounament is not a "best of X" or a "Fist to X" against just one player or friend, its a specific way to compete... and there are limitations to that just like any other way. And in a tounament.. other factors are involved too... like the pressure of prove yourself, if you have a sponsor... to prove for your sponsor, if not, to get one(lol)... the crowd yelling, the prize, the oponents, all the pressure... anyway... what Im trying to say is: the scene is growing, so eventually the rule-set can improve, this is aways a good thing, but hey, dont come here and say that serious tournaments cannot exist with a Double Elimination Brackets with a bo3 rule-set... thats the best and most popular way we have now, and it is serious, you dont need to be radical to make your point valid.you guys should to look for results between players in a tournament bo3/bo5 and then any longer set of them, the results usually are pretty different.

2 of 3 matches are simply the consequence of being at a community fighting game event, where they want to show every match. Every game (not just MK) had 2 of 3 yesterday (including games like UMVC3, which really needs 3 of 5), and well they had SEVEN games to get on stream!2 matches is very short to adjust to play style.
He went from a super patient, methodical Kung Lao who used setups to destroy... to a Kung Lao who was very basic and random.
he agrees with you. He said on stream he made a huge mistake in using KL.Tom should of used sub vs Chris G imo.
I'm glad he recognize his mistake.he agrees with you. He said on stream he made a huge mistake in using KL.
CEO 2011 actually. Powerup 2011 grand finals were Tom Brady vs. Perfect LegendI'm glad he recognize his mistake.
And c'mon... the hype would be huuuuge. After all it would be the rematch of the Power Up 2011 grand finals.
Probably. He usually hits up all the major tournaments in the country.Is Tom going to CEO?
I wish you could get out more as well dude.I just want to say that I wish I had the means and time to sit and play with Tom Brady. The short time I had with him at NRS was amazing. I learned more about MK9 and about how to approach learning and dissecting fighting games in that short time than I ever have in my entire fighting game career.
Thank you, Tom, for all you have done and all you continue to do for the MK community.
The less WE worry about it... the more it goes away. If you haven't noticed.I could be wrong Tom but I think the Sub forums are past that (excessive trolling towards you) at this point. There's always going to be a few bad apples but overall it seems the trolling has died down a lot. Looking forward to the next Bradycast.

"Its hard to make reads against bad players because they don't know what they're doing" - Idra. I couldn't resist. lol Not saying anyone was bad though.I think it just proves how good Kung Lao is... all the young kids I've seen make it far in these tournaments have all used Kung Lao. He can make bad reads and bad decisions and still come out on top. Plus throw in the whole being totally random b/c they don't know much and it's hard to play against them.
