WNF - 4/27/2011 - MK9: Pools, Winners, Losers and Grand Finals *No Commentary*

[TheDiagnoser]

I wish I was the one fighting as kabal. I would've annihilated that scorpion so hard lol.

[ImmortalJesterxD]

Let me rephrase that, without using it more than twice in a round, they spam it too much :/ its ridiculous

[ImmortalJesterxD]

The day I see smoke win without using the teleport once, I will call them a real user of Smoke.

[elementalkirby]

@13:00 OMG

[chiefmegadeth]

I like it better with commentary. Still awesome tho 

[amzbubu]

Good stuff people, get some kung lao users, awesome game.

[HolycrapitsLogan]

Fuck dude I don't wanna see everyone be smoke

[keviiinn]

some high level Street Fighter guys here, Alex Valle, Combofiend...

[AwesomeTheMighty]

I guess Smoke is going to be this games Dante for a while.

[LoneBaldEagle]

just a couple of fatalities? what a bunch of pussies...

[grinshu]

Man, I can only imagine what pain Kabal is going through with Scorpion's hellfire on his already burned/decimated skin:p

[hershyrock]

No matter how many videos I watch, no matter who's playing, to me these fights are boring as hell. I bought the game and the fatalities sucked, it was probably fun the first couple time but its just an eyesore to watch now.

[stopplayingwithmyfat]

Does ne1 know the song at the beginning of this vid? Thanks.

[omozomo]

@stopplayingwithmyfat The song is from The Pit on MK1

[JimVengence]

That Kitana didn't look especially great =(

[NeroAtsumori]

Lolol. Let's go for the 13-16 hit dash combos with smoke that end up doing 32%. newsflash,asshats. FK,D+FP,BP>Jumping FK,Airthrow( really low to the ground,let's you get an OTG with smokeball,something these morons don't get),Smokeball>Jumping FK,Airthrow is 42% and isn't nearly as easy to breaker. And replacing the last Jumpkick,Airthrow with X-Ray is 51%.

[goffy456]

Can I say rage quit at 5:50?

[McYaballow]

@goffy456 no, because it is only the player who just won the match who can pause after FINISH HIM. Actually often it is barely faster to skip back to the player select immediately and start a new match through there than it is to just jab, watch the winning pose and select REMATCH. I timed it myself.

[hmoobxyooj69]

good shit good shit

[polobear1975]

If you think Combo Breakers should actually do damage, "like" this...

[dragonlee125]

BL makes Liu Kang look like Magneto...I don't know much about this game though.

[polobear1975]

@dragonlee125 U mean Ermac, right? Like the "Gravity Squeeze" kind of move Ermac has?

[grimedoctor]

If you win a final, then doing a fatality should be mandatory.

[genxone0000]

check out TEAMSPOOKY CHANNEL have best mk tourney fight AWESOME FIGHT

[PpGmaznboy69]

In my opinion this game is nothing with out it's gore and fatalities and they dont even do it

[darkstare85]

Needs more fatalities!

[ImYourDeity]

this sucks without commentary

[polobear1975]

@ImYourDeity this REALLY REALLY sucks w/o commentary..i thought it was just me

[Benjeezytube]

Going from BL's Liu Kang to Valle's Liu Kang is like going from toilet water to champagne.

[tripelon]

why always pause and quit at the end of the match??? bad losing? :B

[TheGreatReptar]

@tripelon It's faster.

[PanjiPoe]

No commentary. ;_;

[Itsthechoman]

awww i like the commentary. makes things more interesting.

[TheCptCaveman]

Some times just watching the game play with out chatter is better.

[Alexmcool]

No commentary? ):

[BlazinBobs]

Why do they always go back to the player selection screen? It takes far less time to just let the battle end and press on rematch.

[Tapion013]

@BlazinBobs sometimes people want a new stage.

[BlazinBobs]

@Tapion013 oh ok

[blackhawkgod]

Smoke = Sentinel 

[MaybeBlackMesa]

BOOORIIINNNG.

[BrolyXxx]

@MaybeBlackMesa Go play marvel hater !!!

[gummyboots]

Mortal Smoke-bat 9

[ichisakon3]

man who else wants to see a toasty fatality (he has the classic suit so he has toasty before you say anything)

[PimpinFAR]

why didnt ermac use his xray against smoke? he had so many good oppurtunities

[ViashinoWizard]

@PimpinFAR Probably wanted to save it for a Breaker.

[Xoda000]

Alright! I was looking forward to the conclusion of the MK9 tourna-

*no commentary*

well... fuck.

[MrKareemRuiz]

No Commentary*WHY

[SupaDupaFli79]

Love the level design....you can tell they put a lotta effort into it. Hope to start seeing some different characters in the tournaments tho....and some fatalities.

[meddlingmage23]

damn yo, Richard N should stick to using Dante, lol. His Dante in MVC3 is a beast

[blackhawkgod]

OMg the 1st guy has my name in it :D

[Slimreaper256]

Aris & Absolute were my favorite kombatants. Even though they lost (BS Liu Kang Kombo!!! ) they were the most entertaining to watch IMO. Great job guys!! I learned alot!!!

[jerphunter]

Smoke vs ermac with a pinch of liu kang....for 48 minutes. Thats the turney scene for ya. (jk though I love it)

[TheBigAppleNYC]

Classic Lui Kang! Also, I love to see Mortal Kombat being taken as a serious fighting competitor, mad props for Ed Boon and his team.

[usernameshortage]

@30:00 face in the background: HAI GUYZ WHAT U DOIN?????

[TheD2F3C]

Anybody say mortal kombat suck then dont watch them damn SHUT THE FUCK UP

[Timbaland101]

god this is boring as hell.

[skillzgone2waste]

Hate that annoying Liu kang string. You'd think players would try to mix it up a little.

[bishiknight]

@skillzgone2waste It carries your opponent two thirds of the way to the corner and it's easier to pull off the same button combination 3 times in a row than "mix it up a little". Mix ups are what one does to get an opponent into the combo in the first place. It may not be as cool, but if you're looking for variety, look at how they hit their opponents, and get in, not what their combos look like.

[Shoryuken25]

scorpion is so lame...

[hotboi141]

I think its good to finally watch some game play without the annoying commentary being in EVERY video.

[Fapfappa]

Damn Combofiend was like "What's blocking?"

[meddlingmage23]

@Fapfappa you mean "What is this block button?" I had the same problem when playing MK after MVC3.

[pivotfreak747]

Liu Kang is just plain annoying god dammit!

[tvhead]

aris and alex valle matches were really good

[MrNaughtyHands]

alex valle stays picking the fanboys

[bambi005]

Haha no one wanted to comment on the game because after 1 or 2 sentences it would have been........... this is one hell of a shitty game.

[thegreatbunsofstone]

smoke, and ermac are too good. And right below them is imo Liu Kang, and I use the dude.

[animekid200]

Is BL transitioning from another game?

He seems to be playing like the other MK Veterans, mash out combo, hope it hits.

[kingmula2]

wheres the snk games

[SolidMGsnake]

Wow.. I hope this gets more variety later in tournament play. Seems like people just go for the easy characters. Just like how mvc3 started. Sent Sent Sent

[wooboy11]

@SolidMGsnake first big tourney there were no sents in the finals, it seems MK needs tons of tweaking to be fun to watch for more than 2 matches.

[MrKareemRuiz]

@wooboy11 you*need*to*look*harder*lol!

[wooboy11]

@MrKareemRuiz look harder for what?

[csynn]

no kratos?

[RaidensPain]

Combofiend sucks on this no offense.

[bootems]

was this online? I've seen Kraziebone play before and he's a lot better than how he played here

[TevinKey]

whats the song at the start of the vid

[brand1255]

damn why so many smokes and ermacs?? I would love to see some of the other characters in action lol

[elfirrepins]

I actually miss the commentary.

[irving1002]

no commentary WTF!

[BraggartTheBlagard]

Everyone's salty about everything.

Every game ever is terrible.

Who cares.

[HailDMK]

Is it me, or does the first match look kinda outta place?

I mean, it's all bright and Scorpion has his Original Costume which add to the brightness.

Maybe it's just me...

[LinkPS]

For those who haven't watched this - 43 minutes out of the 48 is either Smoke mirrors or Smoke against Ermac.

Not being ungrateful for the upload not bashing on the game, in fact thanks for the upload and the game is a blast, just stating my first impressions on the video and letting others know how repetitive it is (yeah, sorry it doesn't get better at the end, I thought the same).

[polobear1975]

@LinkPS yeah man, they got me, too...I love to see a variety of players. especially in a new game like this...someone give me some baraka or sheeva or hell, even a kratos or a quan chi (who could be cousins by the way...lol)

[OrganOwner]

@LinkPS I guess this video is all....SMOKE and MIRRORS.

Get it? eh? eh?

[MrKarateExplosion]

@OrganOwner Haha, nice one

[ihavemydignity]

Aris, is damn amazing!

Holy shit, hes awesome

[uky0chan]

where's the mvc3 videos........

i look forward to them every week and continously watch the older tournament vids because i keep learning so much from them..

and i miss James and Ultra David...

[LinkPS]

Cause using Ermacs specials require so much skill right? What was he supposed to do? Fight with Ermacs zoning with his absolute crappy zoning? Use his teleport? Use his awesome specials? Wait, he doesn't have any.

At least to land those combos the timing is pretty strict at the end of every <-FK-FP-BP, unlike Ermacs with which you can go auto-mode and land most of it.

[Tikash1]

ARIS just got my respect....

[mjmadk1d2008]

when you do smoke's juggle combo twice into a jump-kick, instead of throw, is it possible to do the teleport punch to end it instead?

[thePANDEMlC]

Too much Smoke and Ermac.

[liamvg]

Aris has good fundamentals for such a new game..I know he's a Tekken king

[TheNietzschian]

no commentary made it boring for me.

[werdna2590]

god damn ninja and their teleporting 

[steveb468]

psycho toad has no approach besides jump punch

lmao

[Jumpman3]

I like the intro music <3

[MrKeithton]

All i saw was Ermacs and Smokes...... most of the time omg >.<

[darklight1030]

I love smoke and ermac for 45 minutes

[ExPlodeable]

Watching this is so boring without James Chen and UltraDavid. They make everything more exciting for some reason lol.

[luvlatinmamis]

I don't play this game but I'm guessing scorpion is S Tier.

[indignationmaster]

@luvlatinmamis nope, probably high mid tier.

[valk4life]

No commentary because even james chen and ultra david have the intelligence not to waste their time with this broken game. MVC3, all is forgiven.

[DecaMMM]

@valk4life ur a retard theres commentary on powerup 2011 and yea MVC3 isn't broken we can just smash the buttons and get a win don't even know whats going on 99% of the time on screen. STFU capcom fanboy

[Yosefhouser]

@valk4life Someone's salty that Capcom has been making awful games lately.

[RadicallyDreaming]

@Yosefhouser Someone's salty that Ed Boon has been making awful games for almost 20 years.

[Yosefhouser]

@RadicallyDreaming You must be hating if you didn't like at least UMK3 and Shaolin Monks and I don't play much MK myself.

[indignationmaster]

I love Levelupseries MvC3 videos, but in terms of MK9 tournament play, Teamspooky has more advanced players, they are a better to watch. This has no disrespect towards L.U.S. or MK, MK is a fantastic game and I prefer it over every fighting game I own now.

[Tsherman100]

OMG bring back MVC3

[elyc]

Lol, that Titan was nosey as hell.

[Berxerkable1]

Does BL stand for Block Low? Because he certainly doesn't.

[Phoenix3568]

@4:12 now you're thinking with portals =P

[TrafalgarWakka]

MK9 is so boring compared to SSF4 and MvC3. Playing AND watching.

[d3nyd]

Smoke's teleport punch is crazy good. Puts Scorpion and Ermac's to shame.

[valk4life]

combofiend doens't play kitana right, you need to spam that fucking air move like a mofo, its so abusable. Also blocking wouldn't hurt, got tired of seeing him eat that stupid, easy to punish teleport.

[fatjoe460]

Regardless on the character usage I enjoyed these set of matches

[radioflare]

It feels like meter is pretty much just used to break combos :\

[rofl0bot]

I like Aris going to character select instead of sitting through bullshit fatality/long ass end pose.

[MutteringUrchin]

There are better fighters on Live. But hey, they're abover average, these guys.

[BIGBALLER102290]

I want more Sub-Zero

[mac79pr]

cool. needs commentary though.

[KingBruzer]

Using the fire on Kabal is just cruel. The guy has suffered enough!

[xnoobxinstinct]

Uninteresting Mirror match gameplay. Same combos, I'll start watching MK9 tournaments in about a month or two, when people stop playing the same 3 characters.... Lui Kang, Smoke and Ermac. BOORRRIINNGGGG!!!

[topster888]

lol BL is a faggot. He knows 2 combos and just spams them

[Slayer435]

I just picked up this game yesterday and decided to try out Smoke as the first character to consider maining. Mostly 'cause I dig characters that look cool and aren't used often, which I thought was Smoke. But wow, he is popular here lol. At least if I do want to learn him, I can watch a little of this video. :P But don't everyone complain. There were hardly a lot of players in this video, if they were Smoke and Ermac would not be as heavily utilized.

[Soraownsall]

Nothing but Ermac and Smoke for 48 minutes and no commentary...worst WNF ever?

[jamheald]

Aris has leveled up so much.

[AnGrYM4N]

boring as fuck nothing but smoke n ermaac... .lameeeee

[ILOVETODANCELOL]

Good shit with the music guys.

Great fights.

[Heartagram1028]

Remember when marvel was all Sentinals? It'll get better guys just be patient.

[dystopiancloud]

Ermac and Smoke for 48 minutes? Fail. No thanks. This was boring...balance the roster maybe? I dont know...

[5Ermacs]

@dystopiancloud Smoke and Ermac aren't even top. Powerup had one ermac in top 8, and no smokes...

[Jak00125]

39:35 Homo-Genius

[To2Dark]

why MK9 dont have commentary ??

this is so gameist

[SRKonkrete]

@To2Dark My guess is no one really knows the game yet so what's the point?

[ichisakon3]

@To2Dark i think the mic screwed up but i might be wrong

[pokeshark]

game looks so dumb with characters flailing/wiffing those target combos all day.. they should've make these continue only when in contact with the opponent

[MrKareemRuiz]

@pokeshark you*dont*have*MK*so*fuck*off

[SphincterBoyJenkins]

awww no commentary!? :((

[parrella000]

compared to tom bradys matches from powerup these are terrible

[valk4life]

@parrella000 tom brady's sub zero is a cure for insomnia. If you want to watch some coward hide behind his never ending supply of ice clones then good for you.

[therealzon]

guess i got my Smoke and Ermac fill for the month ..

[Coldbrand]

That WNF banner is a little too big

[whosnkn]

The one thing I've noticed in some stages it the lack of audio interaction. In I think what looks to be inside a clock tower, the bells swing back n forth. I've yet to hear them make a sound.

[UltimateMach5]

FINISH HER *rage quits*

[darkstare85]

Funny, watching this video makes me wanna go for a smoke.....but I don't know why.....

[ribbon98]

boring characters/game :(

[CeNNeX]

whats with the inverted sound...

[vTroops]

It's too bad nobody uses Ermac or Smoke, I really like those characters.

[darknessredefine]

@vTroops LMAO LMAO LMAO LMAO

[elevate07]

@vTroops I know. Such tierwhores. I wish we could see more unappreciated characters like Kung Lao and Reptile.

[vTroops]

It's too bad nobody uses Ermac and Smoke, I really like those characters.

[teradorei]

i wonder if they made the liu kang voice to be intended the worst and most annoying voice in video game history

[Chowdizzle]

@teradorei I wonder if your mom expected you to come out of the womb a moron.

[captainsuperfoxman64]

whoooooo!!! Sp psycho toad! thats my nigga!

[captainsuperfoxman64]

whoooooo!!! Sp psycho toad! thats my nigga!

FromNetherrealms

[ProudDisciple]

@Nerdagara Yeah it's kind of annoying. Online all I seem to match up against is Smoke, Noob or Scorpion.

[whosnkn]

@ProudDisciple ya kinda sucks when any of those three are your favourites. I always hate when my favourite characters end up being high tier or over used. That's one of the reasons I stopped playing Akuma so much when SF4 came out. He's been my main since Super Turbo. He's my all time fave, but Gen is my new main. Noob Saibot & Reptile are my all time Favourite MK characters.

[ProudDisciple]

@whosnkn I've been working on Kitana and Jax. Kitana just has CRAZY potential and Jax has always been a favorite of mine and just seems to not be getting any love.

[whosnkn]

@ProudDisciple I was going to get this, and knew both of my faves would be picked a lot online. So i was thinking about playing Shang Tsung. He looks bad ass.

[Niichts]

Haaaa I love the classic MK music in the beggining

[deathpath]

That fatality by scorpion isn't possible in real life. He used 2 orange portals.

[dean116]

@deathpath Lol are u serius haha

[SethSquall]

@deathpath Hats off to you.

[sngoku]

@deathpath Fatality? Im surprised anybody does them at all after they see them once. If they were embedded into the gameplay for the final round....

[Kutan]

@deathpath What if he's playing Co-op with Sub Zero?

[TheNietzschian]

@deathpath best comment ever

[snowmanmagik]

@deathpath PORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!

[ProudDisciple]

Come on Psycho, did he really mix you up that badly that u didn't know ANOTHER SWEEP was coming?

[P3NACENCE]

There's seriously no skill on BL's part.

[ProudDisciple]

@P3NACENCE Mashy Masherson
