5v5 MK later tonight!
 
Perfect Legend and Tom Brady going at it was so entertaining. I was glued. 13k viewers watching live, it was unreal.
 
MK9 was so hype !!

At the pro level, this game is sooo GODLIKE !!

For the people who stated that theses flashy combos couldn't be applied in real matches, well... We've seen plenty of them being used in pressure situations, for punishes, etc.

Theses pro players made it look like pieces of cakes !! Also, the mind-game in this game is insane !! Mix-up over mix-ups, combo breakers, I mean WOW !!

That's why they are called PRO players !!
 
Those last few matches with Perfect Legend and Tom Brady were amazing, and I really had no idea which way it was going to go they seemed so evenly matched. I really like how fast things can turn around in MK with one well executed combo into X-ray, as we saw with Noob Saibot at the end there.

The sheer number of mind games going on in the last few matches easily displays what a tournament-viable high level fighter MK is.
