Pure ownage. But Michelangelo REALLY needs to learn how to use Ermac wake up. I know it sucks, be he had countless opportunities that you would have fallen into his wake ups...

[Shoryuken818]

@fcampelo24 I think Mike was cautious of me jumping over him and punishing his wake up lift, he knew I was looking for him to do that. If you noticed I didn't always just dash up and attack him, sometimes I would jump over him hoping he would wake up lift.

@itchittyitch My plan was to stick to Sub until I won or placed high in a major, but @ this point I'm getting sick of losing to the same characters. I'm thinking of going with Ermac for Kitana and perfecting my Smoke for Kabal. No matter what though, I'll never try picking up the characters I lose to, I rather find some way to beat them.

@Shoryuken818 Ya think it's just bad luck? I'm wondering now though, have you developed any other fighters as well as SZ that can better match against those guys and get you all the way? Or are you stickin with Zero till you take a tourney?

[Shoryuken818]

@itchittyitch Well, when It comes to tournaments I always seem to get the winner of the tournament in my first round. I don't get so lucky like others where they only get 1 good player in their pool. When you get 1 good player in your pool, your almost guaranteed to make top 8, whether you come out in winners or losers. @ PDP my 2nd match was Justin Wong,@ Revelations my 2nd match was Michelangelo then Aris in losers,@ Evo it was Denzell Terry then Alex valle.

@Shoryuken818 I believe it. I think Brady likes to come off as omniscient, so there's no way he'd admit something like that. And I think I saw a video of you at a tourney a ways back but not since. Is that because you haven't been there or haven't made top 8 (which would be hard to conceive)? Also, do the nerfs to the ex Ground and forward dash bother you? It's harder now to get full screen in time. Did NR want to force us to settle for 9% on a slide as opposed to 25%+ on combo off of freeze?

[fcampelo24]

@Shoryuken818 No, I know. But still, there was countless times that he could've punished your incoming (jumping or not) with wakeup lift and/or push. He was OVER cautious imo. You were attacking/jumping so constantly that a couple of wake up moves would've made you respect it at least a little bit instead of just attacking and cross jumping his ass. But I know what you mean, we as Sub-Zero players have to play Godzilla mode (like they say @ TYM) against Ermac.

[Shoryuken818]

@itchittyitch I do tutor him indirectly when he watches mine and other top Sub Zero's game play. He'll never admit to it but all the people who's played us both @ tournaments we show up to, say other wise.

@willynillylol What MichaelZanin and fcampelo24 said are your 2 best options.

[itchittyitch]

Holy SHIT!! The way Kabal fucked Zero in the first round I didn't think he stood an iceball's chance in hellfire. I was blown away by that victory! Phenomenal corner control on your part. You should offer to tutor Tom Brady. Damn good shit! The only way this video could've been cooler was if you selected Zero's first outfit with a double Start. 5 Stars! Well, you'll have to settle for a Thumbs Up!

@willynillylol Dash, b1,2 then 2,1~Slide is the best option.
