Streamed live @ twitch.tv/Af0xygrampa
So I saw this video in my recommended, and thought perhaps it'd be cool to reach out and see what can come of this? Could make a cool story regardless of the outcome and I'm curious to see how much the skill gap can be closed if he tries
The mans channel is ‪@Nocampdadgaming‬ if you want to go check out the video.

Managed to get hold of him, will hopfully have a look at some of his gameplay in the near future and see what hes up to, and then see if I've got anything that'll help him improve in the short term, seems like a cool guy.

I was part of the MKD euro scene back in 2004-2005 with MKDan, Jiggerman, DA clan, Gtrax but I dont remember this guy at all. Armageddon was released in the UK on PS2 though, Xbox was region locked as all games were then. I did the same using a USA Xbox then but it was not playable tbh, because we had only 2Mb max ADSL lines then and the netcode was trash as always.

@KazeJay777 2 ай бұрын

Cyrax being referred to as a distraction does make sense, in the 3d era you couldnt just look at the combo list to see frame data, he probably just learnt from experience, I dont see how he could go out to get a specific region xbox to play a game but not know the plus/minus terminology but its very possible

As an OGer myself I'd love to see this guy get back into it. I got outta the mk scene when the 3d era hit with mk4, although i kept up with mk over the years, and i just got back into mk last year starting out with mkx for a few months then went to mk11 pretty much all this year. I like mk11 and I know it gets alot of hate but one of the reasons i like mk11 is bc it reminds me of how mk3 and umk3 played at the arcade which were my two favorite mk games. I will say the games are def alot diff than the Midway days so hes def in for a rude awakening. Just about everything was based on reaction back in those days. We had no frame data to study, in fact nobody even knew what it was back then anyways. Hes def gonna have to lab and at least get used to the frame data and how it works bc if you try just on reaction nowadays...well he wont be lasting very long but def pulling for him.

I think even with no experience, you can explain some simple concepts that’ll help anybody learn to play the game and beat others, it’s just a matter of practice & application of theory, we’ll see 👌🏾

When he says he was ranked #1 in Deception, is he talking about the online leaderboards? Because I don’t think the leaderboards meant very much in the Midway/early NRS era. It used to just go by whoever had the most wins, not your overall win/loss record, and I’m pretty sure the matchmaking was completely random back then. I was ranked #3 in Injustice 1 and I was shit at the game.

Hello. I’m an OG player (not like this younger guy whom you might call “old” lmao). I’ve played EVERY MK game since it was released. Here’s the reality of the situation. Mentally, I could still compete. But as you age, your reaction times diminish. I’m sure that with massive amounts of time, this guy could learn frame data, combo routes, applying pressure, etc. But he can’t undo all the years of not maintaining his reactions and doing what he can to mitigate the effects of aging. That’s just the simple truth.

@AF0xyGrampa 2 ай бұрын

Thing is, reactions arent what separates the good from the great, its strategy. Dragon who is an NRS EVO champion, has some very slow reactions, but because his gameplans were so solid, he could win. Theres definitely some really good older players out there in other games, it could be possible here too

Personal experience: I played up to MK3 and was never very good compared to competition. I say this to say, you can probably estimate my age (it starts with a 4, lol) I came back into MK11, 25 years later in 2021 (admittedly on Switch). I was not good, BUT I studied videos and started seeing how to approach the game. By the time MK11 ran its course, I’d likely beaten every player up thru the Elder God ranks, and while I wouldn’t say I’m amazing, the patience I’d gained, and patterns I was recognizing compared to when I started was so much higher than when I stepped into the game. And I know the Switch wasn’t as competitive as on Playstation, there were some players who were tough. Even watching current MK1, you can tell when players are good, versus not good but potentially getting away with a lot of braindead stuff. Definitely didn’t have the same reactions from my youth, but strategy-wise, i could definitely predict what most players wanted to do, and I’m guessing i was older than most of them.

Reactions aren't really much of a factor. Time spent and life obligations definitely are tho, and some people handle it better than others.

Love vids like this. I'd love to invite you to Mortal Kombat Deception & Armageddon online on PS2. It's free & easy to join the fan server. Setup PS2 internet as usual all automatically, but manually set DNS to 45, 7, 228, 197. Save & exit and you're online again. Rankings work still and motor Kombat as well as arcade online. Cross play to PS2 from PC and Mac emulator users as well. It'd be awesome to see you and other top players maybe revisit a klassic MK that's still online.

I don't think you understand the difference between and a game and a sport pal I'm Jamaican and ive seen how Ùsain bolt trained he spent more than 4 years in training just to run a few seconds any can beat one of the greats in a set its been done many times . They arent no second rounds in sprints pal lol or second matches. You've only got one shot . Put it this way . If this match between a Ninja and sonic where set like an olympic sprint . Whether in losers or not Ninja would have won . Sprinting and playing videos whether at a high or low level are vastly different things . At a high level you can win sets or match in games 🎮 At a high level there in sport especially sprints they are no 1 to 3s. Lol. Bro really compared Mk to usain bolt 😂😂😂😂
