[@AwesomeTheMighty]

Shame Chris G doesn't play this game very much anymore, his Reptile was such a beast.

[@ed4wg380]

Chris if you ever read this just know you helped me step my game up immensly. I use to be negative online now I am positive 150 wins and growing each night. Those staggers+cross ups+triple dash+321 elbow dash njp all learned from you. Thanks :)

[@sshplur]

Damn. Tom cracked. Shoutouts to Art for the awesome commentary.

[@sleek462]

@OmenCinemaMedia That quote was taking from testyourmight . com by tom himself .. None of the DLC characters were aloud to be used during tournys not just kenshi and no the reason they weren't aloud to be used wasn't because they are op .. They are now aloud to be used in every upcoming tournament.

[@lionheart41269]

I would have liked Tom Brady to have won mostly because of how the commentator was really biased towards ChrisG.

[@doman1ck]

@groundmoves0318 i have problems doing johnny cage's dash punch juggles any tips? its just hard for me to chain in the second one. i use a 360 controller. any help would be appreciated so i could at least be hold my own against my brothers.

[@groundmoves0318]

@doman1ck I play ps3 so I dont know what the exact differences are between the two. But the way I learnt it is, push the buttons really precise. dont just focus on the speed. just do back 3 to kick the opponent in the air and start your juggle. connecting the second dash punch doesnt need speed at all really. and if you get used to it you can do more punches because the speed is pretty much needed for the third one. just be patient, because dash punch combos are useful for others as well.

[@sleek462]

@OmenCinemaMedia They banned all of the DLC characters because their release was right before EVO. There wasn't enough time to practice countering/learning all of those new characters, all the while focusing on leveling up their mains before a huge tourny like EVO. Now that evo is over all DLC characters are aloud to be used in future tournys.

[@afuroSAMURAI]

Happy Chris G took this, I was sad he didn't take Marvel but I see now that he was maybe focusing more on MK and seeing how far he got in Marvel is incredible!

[@drzerogi]

@kombatjenning oh really? And how many regional/national tournaments have you won?

[@sikeyimboyleisi]

can any1 give me a link for a pro stryker player in a tournament ?

[@shanedeanc]

Reptiles dash is pretty damn fast... and so are Chris G's reflexes... beast...

[@JohnnyQHomo]

How do you learn how to play MK? I mean, I was ok back in the day, but MK the new one is totally different. any suggestions?

[@MrILikeBreadsticks]

I'm really new to mortal kombat, and fighting games, mk9 is actually my first beat em up, I just wanted to know, I can do the forceball, nice punch combo thing on reptile, but I can never seem to do another forceball before he hits the floor. Anytips? :(

[@unr34L-]

Ever figured it out Brodie?

[@jashinsensei]

@TopZack I have fox tamer added, i dont think its him

[@TheOfficial1146]

Possible noob question but are you not allowed to use fatalities in tournaments or is it a respect thing?

[@megamanbnw1]

Do they use patches in tournaments?

[@wh0racle3]

@meddlingmage23 his full title is like "Grand Bishop Triforce Game-Master of the Knighthood of Arcadia" or something lol

[@OriginalMasterChief]

can reptile enhanced slide while in the corner? it seems like tome would have fallen for it allot, it does break the clone.

[@Darthstone01]

@C0RVETTEBOY I don't know.... could brady spam ice clone and freeze ball any more?

[@AeolusMN]

@whoisChompersIPHONE Well, he did mention it in this commentary that they are sparring partners and exchange strategies and such, so that was a clue :P

[@orchidforpresident]

4:59 Great hitbox.

Did LB Chris lose to anyone in the tournament? If so, who?

[@ChicanoCatman]

Quit complaining! Theyre all friends! Especially tom and chris. They hangout together in New York.

[@SlxmeUploadz]

I like it tho

[@Embarq85]

@whoisChompersIPHONE lol. no joke right. that commentating was on g's jock.

[@Kerplunk990]

you on 360 or ps3?

[@sleek462]

@OmenCinemaMedia "reptile is fine the way he is", tom brady

[@groundmoves0318]

@groundmoves0318 the too much brady hate was actually pointed at all the brady hate comments on the video, and about the dont commentate if you cant do it properly, if sum guy suddenly just starts to commentate and hates on one of the players, that cant be called proper commentating, if he goes ahead and commentate on the match he will also have to take the critical response to it, simple as that. real commentators also take negative feedback, just like arturo hast to.

[@KarmasAB123]

Can someone explain to me why you would EVER do a raw ice slide? Seems like such an unnecessary risk.

[@goyo_heh]

No reason, just in hopes you catch the other player by surprise basically. It’s not even worth the damage to be honest but just getting damage with sub zero is pretty hard.

[@KarmasAB123]

@@goyo_heh I do casual 30 to 50 with Sub-zero. What are you talking about?

[@goyo_heh]

@@KarmasAB123 it’s hard getting an opening with him c’mon. In tournaments he never gets high damage.

[@HueyFreeman3000]

I have NEVER seen someone switch characters that much in a Grand Finals at a tournament....i mean NEVER. Tom Brady you have been PUT...ON....BRAST *Chris Hu voice* lol Lawry's? haha

[@TheOfficial1146]

@dudley4eva makes sense but ppl come to see blood lol give the fans what they want XD but its cool to see the respect players have for one another

[@kombatjenning]

@drzerogi so not the point son its my mind set that says what i want to say

[@bloodsoldierZ]

@devantepresley Arturo did a good job commentating throughout the entire MK tourney. Most of his comments were on point. And in terms of bias, Chris is his dude, a fellow SF player as well and is going up against an MK veteran so ofcourse Arturo is going to support him.

[@sleek462]

@OmenCinemaMedia If you do anything with reptiles elbow dash the character will be ruined period The elbow dash balances reptile out because his regular dash is probably the worst in the game. NRS knows this and they are not going to mess with him. You either learn how to deal with that mix up and learn to counter/punish or stop playing the game. If you want a link to toms quote I'll give it to you.

[@kaputasri]

Characters with teleport have an advantage over others. That's why I hate players winning tournaments with characters that have teleport.Chrisg is amazing the way he handles that reptile.All credit to him.

[@sleek462]

@OmenCinemaMedia Tom brady knows more about this game then NRS does.. I'll take his word for it. Note that he lost this tournament against this reptile, so you would think if there was something wrong with reptile he would be the first to say it. If you you play online like I do I suggest you check out testyourmight . com (no spaces) They have character forums that teach you how to use each character and how to punish move sets like reptiles dash. Helped me out a lot.

[@TheSkyCries1]

Whoa... What happened in the end.. The spin didn't counter like it does normally.

[@BieberSucksCock100]

@AeolusMN I agree, BUT there was absolutely no need for Ts Sabin to be so disrespectful, he even boo'd with the crowd when tom picked kung lao then quickly realised people would say something, so he tried to redeem himself. I didnt mind him supporting chris g, but him being a general asshole bothered me.

[@bloodsoldierZ]

@fcampelo24 I don't think Reptile needs any adjustment on his dash mixups. That's his strength and it's what makes him unique and viable. Too me it's like trying to dumbdown Subzero's Ice Clone just because it's an effective trap.

[@LilBrujoFH18]

HIS TOP THREE ARE SUB ZERO, KUNG LAO & MY FAVE JOHHNY CAGE-TOM MANING :)

[@Johnny1Nunez]

Do fatalities ! 0_0

[@kombatjenning]

on a further note props to chris g for readin tom's moves and anticipatin them well hes definitely a high level reptile player that i will have great respect for

[@kombatjenning]

actually be quite honest i think chris g knew that in the fourth match of the first set

[@BWpepperr]

why do they not shake hands or even acknowledge each other?

[@kombatjenning]

@JizzyE69 its not just about winning or losin jizzy. the trick is findin the heart to win or lose on ur own power and not through any easy routes. canucks made that mistake with the cup and tom did the same for this tournament. in essence when he switched to noob he already lost the battle before it even began

@groundmoves0318 Did you read my comment PROPERLY yourself? Because from what exactly did you conclude i have any "hate" towards Tom Brady. Your comment has absolutely nothing to add, neither as a reply to my comment nor to the video.

[@VikingPhobos]

@876mclace I wanna know why too??? I'm glad MK went back to its roots 2D fighters are the best.

[@Boneszee]

commentating was fine, chill out. they were extremely knowledgeable about the game. who cares if they were biased, tom brady has been raping everyone in this game since it came out, they were just rooting for the underdog.

[@whitechocolate571]

For all the people bitching about the commentary, there is a mute button. Good matches.

[@Sylvaire]

@CPTG0dK1lleR Yeah, I dont know xD I don't follow the MK MLG Pros or anything like that I was just watching this video and without any knowledge of the Players he just sounded like a fanboy to me xD

[@baidaG]

why didnt he give him a nice fatality in the last match?

[@tokiwartooth95]

Tylerlantern does play, and he usually gets wrecked at tournaments

[@jordddddd]

art's got sick commentary skillz

[@RisingRivalsFGC]

SO hype...

[@TheSubscriber5000]

they get so excited when someone does a combo of 30 procent damage. they schould let fight hoofresh or tylerlantern then they would go crazy with their combos lol.

[@sinisteroglop]

In the video Tom pulled off aa 35% mid-screen w/o meter.

[@MrCoschta]

and i agree that 7 month ago i started with MK and i realy had no idea about the game :) i turned angry every time someone shot more than 1 missle at me... but know i know its a projectile game!

[@HueyFreeman3000]

Chris G just whooped Tom Brady's ass like he stole somethin'....haha Wow. Good stuff homie.

[@LordDrakonya]

@bloodsoldierZ And nobody says you can't be bias , but actually saying that you DON'T WANT the other guy to win ... you can't do that if you're a commentator.

[@patorravide]

not many ppl know how to do commentary. It is actually pretty hard

[@Landonio]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

[@xXxSeTTriPxXx]

this is mk9 played beautifully

[@LordDrakonya]

@bloodsoldierZ yeah you right , really on point. NOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO -_-

[@A4k2i0]

Sub-Zero is overpowered IMO: his slide goes far and fast, his clones stay on screen for way too long. He can spam corner clones so a character who doesn't teleport is pretty much stuck. Reptiles slide should be a longer distance like Sub-Zero's since his invisibility is useless against good players and in tournaments.

[@ri_c_e]

with 11 year hindsight, that is a crazy statement. crazy what a decade could do

[@Mugen123456789]

Tylerlantern has combos but he doesn't have the tech or the mindgames to land them

NOOOOO CHRIS G NOOOO. WHYYYYYYYY WHHHHYYYYYY CHRIS G

[@codmonster589]

perfect legend wins the championship evo finals for mk9 so thats the most imporant one

[@Badmojo323]

False. Sub zero got nerfed to shit. His highest non-wall combo is 31% give or take. The reason he got nerfed was because Tom Brady figured out how to play so well as him. He is a really good player, who perfected his routine. You can't classify a shitty player as someone who does the same routine, especially if that person continues to to excel, like Tom does. That's not to be confused with spamming. Plus, Why not punish someone with the same high combo every time?

[@Josey_Wales]

I love watching fighting champs, gets so intense!

[@kombatjenning]

btw no im not jealous of tom cause i know i can take his sub its not really that impressive man and neither is his strategy

[@grewer44]

I know right? lol subzero is my favorite but not my main because hes so low tier lol

[@jello788]

@A4k2i0 I hope you're trolling.

[@AeolusMN]

@drake02 I'm not talking him up, i'm saying how it is, you don't have to talk him down if you can't understand why he said the things he said. So you are just hating him because you don't like the way he speaks... show some respect and grow up.

[@Badmojo323]

well said

[@josephalbarran_cs]

Tom brady was a tester for this game.

[@Byorin]

@whitechocolate571 Yeah, let's all ignore the fact that mute also turns off the sound effects and everything else. Face it, Sabin was being a dick commentator. But, hey, unbiased commentary is pretty much unheard of outside of legitimate sporting events, and sometimes not even then.

[@CounseledDeer]

...what... of course they do!

[@AeolusMN]

@whoisChompersIPHONE Arturo plays with Chris G alot, they both main Reptile, Arturo wasn't an official commentator, he basically sat down because nobody was there actually commentating, or no commentator had as much game knowlegde as Artuaro at the time. A guy rooting for a friend that does commentary, you people are looking too much into this. Gootecks will also root for mike ross on mic when he is commentating...

[@groundmoves0318]

@AeolusMN Too much brady hate man and if you cant commentate properly, then dont

[@KNitro123]

such a great match and all you guys can do is argue about commentary lol. Unbelievable play by Chris G, cut Tom down to nothing

[@tuscaniman25]

Tom Brady should have stayed sub or went Johnny Cage. Noob was an act of desperation and he was planning on spamming for the win. Noob doesn't work against Reptile. Brady's Kung Lao isn't that great and unless its on Perfect Legend's level he shouldn't use him. Brady stay with Cage and Sub.

[@alanwakeish]

oh no

[@boomshoot1]

u mute volume at 1min the commentor is so badddddddddddd

[@Sylvaire]

Arturo sounds like a total fanboy commentating...
