MLG Fall 2012 MK Champion Reo: The 3 best Mortal Kombat players are myself, Perfect Legend and CD Jr. - the MK scene can live on for another year

Rod "Slasher" Breslau conducted a couple of interviews with the Mortal Kombat 9 and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 champions of the recent MLG Fall Championship 2012 event.

First up, you can check out the two time MLG Mortal Kombat 9 champion KN VSM OBS EMP MK|Reo as he drops a few bits of interesting information including the fact that, in his opinion, the best MK player right now is a three way tie between himself, Perfect Legend and DMG|CDjr. He also states that he feels the Mortal Kombat community will not grow stale and will continue to remain strong in 2013.

After the jump, Slasher catches up with MLG Fall Tekken Tag Tournament 2 champion, JDCR, in which he talks about some of the players he kept his eye on through out the tournament, how he feels the Korean players stack up against those from the U.S.A. and Japan and more.

Shout outs to Slasher for the tip. Via GameSpot.

Pretty easy to pick the top 3 players when ten people play the game.

these comments obviously who the average age of people who post (12), there was actually a huge ammount of people that entered mlg dallas and there are getting bigger and bigger, these finals were hype also, i dont even play or like MK but any obvious smart FG player can realize that the more FG's that get more mainstream attention the better it is for all FGs. for example if mk had 200 entries and some sponsores took notice, that only helps other games like marvel and sf and kof. again nobody might understand due to people being immature and 12.

good day

@7

Well your grammar and redundancy leads me to believe that your reading comprehension is at middle school level at best. Which is apropos given the subject of this comment section (MK).

Speaking of burns, #9 did an awesome one. GGs to him.

So what happened with guys like Pig of the Hut and Tom Brady? I thought these guys were also giving the most usual winners a run for their money since they also place high. And although Sawnik Fawxx is like the Noah of MK, it's interesting to see younger ones have a good performance in tourneys, especially in a game with mechanics so unique and established as MK9.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm calling it anyway: the MK Community will surely move on to Injustice the exact moment when MK gets thinner and the IJ scene starts growing. Which looks like the natural move to do considering who the developers are

This is a capcom fighter site so not surprised with people here bashing on MK9. Just pay them no heed and stay open minded by playing what fighters you enjoy

Granted this site started as a Capcom haven, but it's got everything now. I think what's throwing people into the hater ring is the fact that some of these comments from MK players are arrogant as all hell.

@ TheDeadTexan

so by saying comments like ...

"Pretty easy to pick the top 3 players when ten people play the game. #1"

"Who cares who the top 3 best players are on an irrelevant game. #2"

"Play a real game, buddy, and then perhaps I'll care who you are. #3"

... doesn't make you arrogant? these comments were made by Capcom players.

to say that the amount of time that these players put into their game of choice is irrelevant because it may be a game you don't enjoy is childish. to say a whole community is arrogant as hell, as you put it, due to some idiots i think is unfair. as you can see from the comments i quoted from there are idiots in every branch of the FGC.

@#1 The Idiot Texan ( But I repeat my self)

@14

You ever hear the saying, 'you reap what you sow'?

@16

Wow, a whole 80 people? This arrogant dillweed just got TOLD!

Thanks for disparaging people from Texas, too. Pretty sure this E-Sports event took place in Dallas. Gotta love that logic.

@ TheDeadTexan

Yup,80 people. The scene is far from dead. Now go back to taking that CapCock via barebones games and tons of on disc locked content. Begone with you.

I don't see the point in arguing with someone who puts more effort into spelling made-up words than real ones.

The feeling is mutual. I don't see the point in arguing with someone who gives Capcom fellatio. The last good thing they released was Okami HD.

Never once mentioned how Capcom is more popular than MK in any of my posts in this comment section. Not once.

It doesn't matter. It's as if you guys are brainwashed or something. The moment any fighting game that doesn't have the Capcom logo comes out, it gets shat on and ultimately loses popularity for no reason. You (DeadTexan) are a great example of mindelssly sh!tting on a game but accuse those who defend it as being arrogant. You're one of the biggest hypocrites that I've ever encountered.It feels like you guys are scared of other games gaining any sort of popularity. It isn't an FGC anymore. More like a CGC ( Capcom Game Community).

It does matter, because you're implying I'm a Capcom loyalist but have absolutely no evidence to back it up. Go through my comment history on here and you'll see how much I praise Tekken Tag 2's emphasis on player satisfaction, how I love Persona 4 Arena's fast-paced action, and most importantly, how much I've criticized Capcom's recent business practices and how I've celebrated their failures. You can't blanket an audience because someone disagrees with you. Well, you can, but you'll end up looking incredibly short-sighted and ignorant.

My derogatory comments towards the MK players were just a knee-jerk reaction to the inherently arrogant type of statements they were giving out.

If you really hate this site and its users so much, you should just stop coming here and go somewhere where you'll be appreciated. Try SRK, NR forums, or Reddit's My Little Pony community.

What do you mean by arrogant statements that they were giving out?
