I guess in a community where a player's credibility is in tatters for missing 1 top 8, and eliminated in a set where the score was 2-3, this is a good point.Nothing about it is relevant. The game has changed since then. This was the same era were the same players were going on about how Jax beats Kabal.
I tried it once. I ragequit MK9 for at least the fifteenth time after a few days of playing her.since when did u pick up jade frothy? #yolo

Mayo doesn't always post on TYMDoes Cyrax has a 100% combo launching unparryable projectile that can be linked to any normal or string that can't be punished by anyone without an 8frame attack?
Does Cyrax have a safe overhead launcher giving him the freedom to low poke you to death until you're forced to eat it?
Can Cyrax run away alll day with a backwards teleport?
Mid tier at best? EL. OH. EL.
PL, Junior and whoever else at Dallas that were expected to make top 8?What are you talking about?

Gotta be the best thing I've read all day lolThe great Curbo panic of 2012.
Why is it OK for you to discount CDjr winning Columbus with (technically) smoke when, when i brought this up a while ago, I was blown up for bringing up the same thing to make the point that smoke hasn't performed well at many majors? At least you have seen the light in this regard.This was the same period of time where I was predicting Cage would beat Kitana. Real compelling point here. Bringing up the period of time where most everyone was caught up in f+3 induced hysteria.
I thought it was already clarified what I was referring to with that, and after the way you put it into perspective I proceeded to agree with, what's the problem here?so what? what does this have to do with anything?
CD Jr vs. REO from Columbus doesn't matter because it was ages ago not because CD Jr got 13th at Dallas. This was the era when Cage was top 5. The great Curbo panic of 2012. Cage has evolved since then, both his game and an understanding of how to fight him.
Who's word are we taking here? The modern top Cage or are we bringing up results from half a year ago? Get out of here man.

To be fair, CD jr never once used the reset in tournament matches. He played purely on fundamentals alone--no gimmicks, fancy tech, max damage combos, or resets.But then there was CD Junior, one of this game's most successful players and started out with this very character, but his will to use him quietly disappeared after the OTG Smoke Bomb was patched out, Smoke at this point in time is considered mid-tier at best, and Junior promptly moved on, but as soon as the reset is discovered, BAM!
I'm all for concurring with Wafflez' skill level... Lets be serious though; Smoke hasn't been doing well consistently in top tournaments at all. There will be a good tournament here and there (mostly depending on who else isn't there) but overall, you're lucky to see a smoke in top8 at a true major.You deserved to be blown up because Smoke is doing well. Your boy Young Thomas has performed well recently.
dude.... i bet you are salty around cigarettes and such. lol. Don't take that personal... it was horrid lame joke...Smoke players down play their character a lot. For example, Coward Wafflez says Smoke beats Freddy 6:4 when everybody knows Smoke is Freddy's worst match up. I say Smoke wins 7:3. Maybe even 8:2.
I also pray that no company ever includes such garbage character design in a 2D fighting game. I am sure that many members of this community agree that Smoke is worse than the input bug.
True. Kabal is overpowered and so was Vanilla Kung Lao.If someone were to say any character was worse than input bug they'd probably say Kabal first, then Vanilla Kung Lao for good measure.
They probably thought it was a good idea when first designing him (you know casuals give most of the profit for MK). You've got to give them some slack, being the first 2D fighting game in a long ass time.True. Kabal is overpowered and so was Vanilla Kung Lao.
But Smoke is just a terrible character design. I bet you $1000 that NRS designed him to help scrubs get around projectiles.
