$26,700 up for grabs in MLG Spring Championship Mortal Kombat 9 tournament
@ Ricefarmer The simple answer is because it's NOT a "crappy ass game with millions of stupid nuances." It's an incredibly good game with a few problematic glitches. It's not perfect, but it's still an incredibly competitive game, and this has been proven by top 8 consistency. Spend some time with the TYM community and you'll find out exactly why they love the game.

@ analogos There is an advantage exclusive to player 1 side that was discovered by Somberness (AKA: the TYM user who farmed most of the frame data for the community). It's bad, but #3 is making it sound worse than it is. Basically, it works like this: hits don't trade in MK9, so if two moves hit on the same frame, the game randomly selects who beats out who... or so we were told. What ...

But for every makoto-esque buff, you had about 5 Rose-esque nerfs.

@ Hooligan Well, the game does have a lot of character variety (though perhaps for bad reasons; it's sorta turned into a counterpick game). @ Ricefarmer Does it make sense to say nobody cares about MK9 if it had 120 entrants at Final Round and 90 people at MLG?

@ Gammabolt X-ray is absolutely not a comeback mechanic. Most characters' bread and butter combos do more damage than x-rays, and an x-ray costs THREE meters. That means choosing to do an x-ray means I lose my breaker and all my EX options.
