Postgame Analysis with Tom Brady #1: Power Up 2011 Grand Finals

[freak1940]

guess theres no part 2 cause he played like a prick with noob saibot...only spamming

[keeyk118b]

kung lao seems to be a cheap character. they should reduce the chip damage from his spin move.

[gorygregory]

Is there a part 2? Are there any other matches for which Tom does commentary or analysis?

[TheTotino01]

wot is frame advantage

[btimonarch]

what's up with the crappy green writing, the random slow-mo, and seb not knowing what the fuck he's talking about?

[ChristianAQuiles]

dude, does tom brady ever win? ive watched like 4 or 5 different youtube videos of tom brady fighting different people and he lost every single time. this man is beta tester, he had the game months before it even came out and tested out characters, but yet he still gets his ass wooped? dosent make sense to me. how do you have the game months before its release date and than lose to people who has like half as much play experience? tom brady sucks hes not what everybody makes him out to be at all

[xxplick]

@ChristianAQuiles u don't know much at all all good players loose sometimes ok u can't win all the time i have seen numerous tourneys with brady and he won alot of them ok he is the best sub zero i know honestly he is very good not becaus eu loose u are shit because at some point in time u gonna loose i sure i can beat ur ass whats ur psn id? give me let me see how much talk u have stop coming down on ppl when u can't do it like them ok geez he is the best sub zero no matter if he wins or not

[nilesolma]

So Tom Brady is not Tom Brady? :S

[mrusername]

I like how he says people that ask for Kung Lao to be nerfed just want the game to be made easier for them. This is true.

People need to stop complaining about complexity in games and instead try and focus on learning how to play better. Games have been toned down far too much already to accommodate this new generation of scrubs.

[jd9982]

Mvc3 is complete garbage it's the easiest fighting game ever made all u fanboys don't know shit. Mk is the best fighting game and always will be.

[TheWCWite]

Tom Brady is a crybaby clown.

[EvilEyEbRoWzz]

BTW people, when he misssed the punisher at 4:44 becuase of his stance

[jacekantoine]

it's amazing how PerfectLegend and Tom Brady have mastered this game mk9 and also amazing the way Tom Brady talk and break down the game its like there warriors on the battlefield

[thefloppyllama]

LOLOLOL 14:18 "...if you're a jedi and you live on Croissant...you could probably..."

[Skusioh]

"He delayed his attacks to mess up my fuzzy-guard" WTF. I think i have very much more to learn about this game then just mixing low with medium attacks... this people are sick good.

[mikiarca]

Part 2 ?

[Valcien]

2:45. That tree is looking at Lao pretty wistfully...

[Tmathh]

MK is annoying....

[MrErakl]

@Tmathh what do you mean?

[Tmathh]

@MrErakl shit just isnt that fun for me...more of a SF marvel kinda guy,,some tekken too mk...naw

[Dogysamich]

I've never played a MK serious and, more than likely, never will. But I've always wondered what these randoms spewing "tournament worthy" status means.

In all of the communities I've been through, I've never seen a definition of a guideline for a "tournament worthy" game, just some nobodies hiding behind monitors bent over a different set of rules and mechanics.

[IRONMAN357]

@Dogysamich thats funny because what makes a tourny game, fukn stupid crossups and horrible matchups?? PLZ mk is the best and always will be

[JadedEvo]

Wow that dude is still playing mk..back in deadly alliance he was the only dude online that could beat consistently..I was known as the nastiest ermac online..and had one of the best records....but could not finish him off he always beat me with less than 20% health

[WTFILaggedOut]

Shoutouts to Tom Brady

[Jink5]

FADC

23:30 Liu's air FB recovers faster than his stand FB.

24:46 Fuzzy-guard is for random scrubs with lots of blind luck. PerfectLegend probably saw that TomBrady could have broken PL's combo which would have filled TB's meter on time, so PL went safe for the kill with block damage & grab, where Breakers don't work.

[gamer2180]

Perfect Legend is a real tier whore, SSF4: Akuman MK9: Liu Kang

[valk4life]

perfect legend threw this match by order of triforce. So we're doing analysis of a thrown match are we? MK community is pathetic. Fatality this, fatality that, nobody talks gameplay because the game is shallow scrub friendly shit. Brady came from DOA, a scrubs game, he's riding his 15 minutes of fame trying to convince people MK is a tourney worthy game when it isn't. After evo this game will dry up when everyone accepts how shallow and shitty it is.

[OmniLegend]

@valk4life Someone sounds mad

[HotDogMarchant]

@valk4life You're trying to argue that all people talk about is fatalities on a video where they analyse nearly every moment in a match in great detail. Mhm yes real good argument there.

And thrown or not, there's loads of really good information here, so your point is invalid and stupid.

[Chaoskae]

@valk4life Dont hate because you dislike the game. As for you EVO comment dont be a fanboy. You probably only play capcom games. Let me guess your only good at SSF4 and MVC3 right?? KOF is trash and BlazBlue is for noobs right?? Open up your shallow and ignorant mind. Please kind sir dont be a troll. If it was a thrown why do you care?? Is Triforce your daddy? Was your post "By order of Triforce?" I swear man you guys are weird

[Raiden3651]

These guys have relieved all doubt as to whether MK9 is tournament worthy. Depth and MK? Haven't heard those words in the same sentence for a while.

[permatroll]

@Raiden3651 how about never. they never were. Only for MK 2011.

[sheikguy93]

What does he mean by Jedi?

[wooboy11]

@sheikguy93 Extreme reflexes using the force? c'mon..

[GallantSitruc]

@sheikguy93 He means to react really really fast to a move!!

[EvilShinGouki]

is it possible to combo after nut punch?

[undamned]

4 people are afraid to fight Tom Brady.

[Spoonuser12]

Honestly, Breakers are the bane of this game as it stands. They really disrupt the flow of combat, and as TB said, enforce a poor guess situation in the game. IMO, Character health should be increased across the board and breakers should be removed. Not saying the game is bad, I love the game.

[Guccibear100]

@Spoonuser12 I dont know if I agree with this, because a breaker can stop a huge combo, and it cost meter. I honestly think its balanced fairly well. IMO if they need to nerf something its X-Ray damage.  And nothing disrupts the "flow of combat" like those cut scenes. And trust me I feel the same way about Ultras in SSF4 and dont even get me started on X- Factor.

[truendymion]

@Spoonuser12 Nah Breakers are good. I think its natural for the flow of combat to keep changing, keeps things interesting. And if someone is relying on Breakers to get them out of every situation then they are definitely going to lose. Breakers are no substitute for good defense, and they should really be saved for emergencies only, save your meter for ESM and Xrays. Whats the point of increasing character health?

[Spoonuser12]

@truendymion I Just figured since this game has very high damage. Bnbs that do 30-50% life meterless. That the game was balanced to have combo breakers, damage wise. Figured some slight health tweaks would be needed, could be wrong though.

[valk4life]

tired of hearing about this dude. MK is a scrubs game. Let see him play street fighter

[kennedykills]

@valk4life Once you win an MK9 major, somebody MIGHT care about your opinion. Keyword might.

[valk4life]

@kennedykills you care enough about my opinion to reply to it, which makes you a fucking retard

[fanboy20]

@kennedykills

but....this game isn't tourney worthy.

[kennedykills]

@fanboy20

I really don't give a shit about it either way, on a personal note.

[SithLordRagnos]

@fanboy20: But Marvel 3 is?

[strykah92]

@fanboy20

>Being a fan of Marvel vs Capcom games and having the nerve to run around deciding what a tournament worthy game is, LMFAO!

[jamesdavid3]

JESUS Christ, cant i just watch the match, your F*cking stopping and rewinding that crap EVERY second.

[bsbsbspl]

@jamesdavid3 Might wanna read the title of the vid...

[Skullomaniaaaa]

@jamesdavid3 Look in the description, dickwad.

[HoPi0815]

Hey seb, I read about safe jump setups after several "stun" strings, like Kung Laos 1,1,2,1. Because the practice mode is a**, I haven't been able to test this myself. Could you please do some in-the-lab-footage of the possibilities different characters have?

[dsinnie]

gawdamnit blackula!

[Degness222]

Wow, this was amazing.

[iiAmHaWXx]

sonya hasa reset in the corner aswell ending a combo with 1,1,2

[DepsrKo]

Going in deep

[lorndarken]

i kinda find it pointless to put someone in the corner when they have tele options , it just waste your meter , smart move against non tele characters but there is only a few that dont have that option

[Chowdizzle]

@lorndarken Kung Lao's Teleport is extremely unsafe if predicted as is just about every other tele in the game other than Raiden's. If they tele out of the corner every time then punish it. Assuming you aren't ass at the game that's 30-40% so no, it's far from pointless ever. Also most teleports are too slow on wake-up without EX to break pressure.

[lorndarken]

@Chowdizzle agreed , but most people tele and flow it up with it being enhanced thus making it " SAFE " kung lao can attack after tele so for him it is not as unsafe as people liek to make it,. it's just people find the move to be easy to do and spam the hell out of so it does become predictable , but when it is used wisely then you can use it to your advantage , i use scorpion and scorpions enhanced version is perfectly safe in the corner if there is time between move .

[ActionFrank9]

@lorndarken If they use E teleport then it's that much easier to avoid, since there's 2 cycles before he can actually attack. Normal tele is easily uppercutted on reaction.

[fluxcorenz]

Great vid, thanks a lot. More MK in depth stuff greatly appreciated!

[glennfinito]

Tom Brady thinks a lot about fighting games.

This video is evidence of this.

Very informative

[Evilmonkey66699]

@glennfinito Well he also knows his shit about this game since he was one of the pro players NRS brought in to play test the game

[Jawjaw69]

is tom brady gay?

[TheInphinite]

This video just made me want to give MK a serious shot. Might go get it right now...

[justsignmeup911]

what's a fuzzy guard?

[JupiterJazz2693]

@justsignmeup911 i'm pretty sure it's the frames during the animation between crouching and standing, when you can't be hit high or low or grabbed or something

[GohTakeshita]

I learned something from this video. I didn't know MK has VF style fuzzy guarding.

[Looc105]

In case anyone is wondering, the Johnny Cage punish combo at around 9:00 is:

2,1,forward2, dash, 4,4, shadow kick.

[TheAlphaChurch]

The name Tom Brady was given to him by his friends. Not necessarily because he is a fan of the Patriots or Tom Brady. He got the nickname because back in the day he was very clutch. He was known for a lot of comeback wins in tournaments so people started saying that he was like Tom Brady; and the name stuck.

[juztin44]

@TheAlphaChurch Yeah he's a Colt's fan... you can tell from the jacket haha

[Jtehbunny]

wtf just frame blocks? @_@ this game sounds over my head already

[Ravenex2]

People wanting things easier so they can practice less?

Sounds like the majority of SF4's player base: lazy and think they're good (they're actually not). lol

[AWice1]

@Ravenex2 wich is the original meaning of the word "scrub".

I really dont like how 90% of the new guys just call everyone a scrub. That word completly lost its meaning...

[Ravenex2]

@AWice1 To you it lost its meaning. Sure, people have different interpretations, but a scrub is a fairly obvious definition in video games.

My definition is someone who refuses to learn the game and complain about things being cheap, instead of learning (unlike Japanese players). It is also someone who lacks discipline and I've known this for months (observed it on eventhubs too).

I know people get called out a lot, but I only call people out who deserve it. lol

[Ravenex2]

@AWice1 I don't expect the millions of players playing SF4 to be good, but they should at least try to learn the damn game. I see enough complaints that I don't need someone telling me not to call them scrubs. How people portray themselves is how they're treated. No more, no less.

If you don't like that, too bad. =/

[Chowdizzle]

@Ravenex2 Haha yeah that sums up SFIV players.

Though I hear in MK more than ever that shit is cheap. I have a 36% BnB with Sonya but everyone tells me I'm cheap and that all I do is the same combo. If they knew the game they'd say good shit cuz it's good ass damage and if it misses it builds good meter and is safe on block.

But they're bad, so they bitch.

[Asheth007]

Excellent Video!!

-oZii eRa

[jermyang]

they should play mk9 at 600 fps for super smooth slowmo fadc analyses.

[Rikana]

This was extremely informative. Thank you for taking the time to go over the match.

[ABONESR]

LEGEND!!!

[AeolusMN]

Is it possible to have Bill do another post game analysis of the Cyber-Sub vs Sub Zero?

That was intense.

[AeolusMN]

Great stuff :D

[200damary]

also*good*guide.!

[200damary]

sweet!

[UVolt]

RE: Punishing Kung Lao spins: All NRS needs to do is let us record dummy actions in training so we can actually practice punishing the spin on our own.

[subbybear]

Great insight, keep these comin!

[Hirashirou]

He looks like cage >_>

[aimzor420]

very enjoyable and educational, more like these please.

[kahjah]

That was a GREAT video, thank you for putting this up and going so in-depth with the commentary. Me trying to get back into the game and play at a high lvl, this is sure to help. Do any of you guys live or play in the NY area. Would love to sit in on a sparring session and pick up some tips.

[KeuhHuy]

Very interesting stuff Seb

[emocelot]

dsnt go over the games as noob? :(

[BehindTheLight99]

great video.....thanks

[Lokdoggzwei]

great stuff seb.

[YogaFlame24]

This is better then the guide.

[satchow]

I don't care what anybody says, it's cute that Bill took his nickname from the athlete he finds the most attractive.

[BehindTheLight99]

@satchow lol

[Ravenex2]

@satchow How do you know he just doesn't admire him? xD

[200damary]

@satchow your*gay

[Ripknotz]

this is great thanks, please do more game analyzing!
