Reviewing The Saltiest Mortal Kombat Scrubquotes

"If you're opponent is spamming the same move, then you are spamming the same mistake" -Sun Tzu definitely

lol...that is what I am thinking...If you let me get away with spam...why shouldn't I just reply all to victory!

It's true he did say that

[@TheBlueBear235]

Sending someone the tutorial for their character after beating them is the most diabolical thing I’ve seen

[@moopersworthninjason42nd81]

I'm sure there's worse lol

[@PistenDeer]

I ran into a guy on Skullgirls literally my first online casual match after practice range and tutorials, that predictably absolutely annihilated me. He then added me to a group called 'play tutorial pls' that was basically only him and like a couple dozen of new players with like handfuls of hours, 2-5. Guy himself had like 500 hours. Group didn't even have links or tips or advice or anything, just pure BM. Such a stark contrast to so many niche fighting games communities that are usually helpful because they understand the value of more players. And hey, I never played Skullgirls after that either, cause why bother swimming in sewage for a nugget of gold.

[@IcyTorment]

@@PistenDeer Honestly, the developers of that game are the main reason I don't play it anymore.

[@SalsaDeGranada]

@@IcyTorment could you elaborate on that

[@judecider]

@@PistenDeer I pretty much play Skullgirls as my main fighting game nowadays and yeah, it can be hard finding someone to help you out, I play on Steam and I have about 2 players I learn from and you can say I hit the jackpot, I have about 800 hours in currently and I'll be lying if I said I could teach someone else.

[@NessOnett8]

Having open mic in a fighting game is definitely...a choice.

[@notesscrotes4360]

We finally got the arcade feel back.

[@Bigdawg42310]

It’s the best thing about online mk. I’d be so sad if they got rid of it

[@PistenDeer]

Best of both worlds to just have open mics while also having the ability to mute them. Even with the mics off, you can see the voice indicator turn on so you know somebody's talking, especially if it keeps going off while they're getting beat lol

[@AleksPizana]

​@@PistenDeerI don't even pay attention to it. It's mostly kids playing some rap song or rapping themselves.

[@xikaryo6735]

Salty player loses “wow desperate nerd much? touch grass” Same salty player finally wins “I’m just better” 🤡

[@xikaryo6735]

“You keep spamming the same thing over and over again” will always be the funniest fighting game scrub quote to me. If the opponent is spamming the same thing, you should have adapted by now. It’s your problem if you haven’t. Winning is winning, losing is losing, and you lost to a player that was spamming because you fell for it every time and your pattern recognition is absolute trash. No one to blame but yourself.

[@zanpakutoman4225]

I feel like from their perspective, there is NO answer to a move that's fast, high damaging, or a projectile, etc. So, the "spamming" complaint makes sense to me, but it's still not a valid complaint I just...understand. It's the "You're so BAD!" comments that absolutely bogle me. Like that one clip said, if they're so bad why are you losing?

[@ajidanang9508]

This is why people think fighting game are hard to get into, or they're getting spammed or whatever. They need to know that you must adapt to the other guy playstyle and punish them

[@zxt5148]

I mean, depending on the move and matchup it can be difficult for even high tier players to adapt. It's still tough for me to handle 5P spam from Axl as Goldlewis if I'm in the corner

[@firaelle6962]

Scrubs knew they cannot change the game. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed combos

[@алексейданчиков]

I was waiting for someone to pull a lowtiergod with such patience

[@mentalnagasaki2812]

This is genuinely entertaining to watch

[@InvinciDon]

I honestly feel like being mad at a fighting is somehow more childish without being childish. There’s one thing being disappointed and expressing that to your opponent if you so choose, but there needs to be a line drawn somewhere when someone gets genuinely angry. Maybe I’ve matured a lot since I first picked up fighting games, I don’t know, just hope everyone can realize one day that games like this are just that: a game. I’m gonna leave a like and view cuz I love your content, man, keep up the very good work.

[@lordlundin6495]

I've said this elsewhere, but I can understand genuin anger. It's because I get gamer rage. I conjure graphic cenarios in my head of doing very bad things. With that being said, the rage is directed at myself, at my inability to adapt, poor reactions or worse execution. I have broken controllers, I'll scream and I yell and curse up a storm. So I get it. What I don't get is how you can be so fucking blind that you take your own fruity little brain and justify spewing that to another human being. I get some people do it because it's funny, which I do too if I beat someone toxic. I'll never ever call someone trash if I'm losing, though. It makes you look deranged and detached from reality.

[@banechrismon6051]

Bro imagine playing Johnny and losing to a Li Mei and raging.

[@AdamJorgensen]

See Diaphone, you just don't get it, FGs are meant to be like an old fashioned duel where you walk ten paces and then turn and shoot each other...except your opponents gun always misfires ;-)

[@noflex3211]

[@danwoods8195]

Wow I just learned so much from this. Scrubqoutes are better than an OS-- if I'm losing I never need to get better I just need to call my opponent a "terrorist" or "blak asf" truly top tier tech 😂

[@dahgameps432]

I love this series bro, keep it going.

[@MoonlightStrider]

I'm convinced most of the players who scream and rage at other players in Mortal Kombat online don't actually play the game to the full extent, they just play Story mode and call it a day and find some other game to play.

[@malcovich_games]

But they need to complete their daily and weekly missions that involve Kombat League, and also want that Baraka skin in Elder God ranks, so....

[@umphreak9999]

Plus they know just enough to beat their lil bro/sis/nephew who've never played a fighting game before and think they're way better than they actually are

[@GEMINIVice1]

Don’t forget those just there for a fatality fix

[@LOL-gn5oh]

That's basically the entire target audience of MK.

[@lookuh-2046]

I do sometimes get mad and call my opponents bad (although not to them, just my monitor lol), and the reason is exactly what you said, i realise how bad they are, and i can't beat them, which makes me worse, which makes me mad haha

[@moopersworthninjason42nd81]

Get good then

[@lookuh-2046]

I'm trying lol, I don't talk to/message ppl though or anything, just to my monitor, so no harm (other than annoying my gf)

[@AwesomeMooseSmile]

I do think the only time i've ever gotten genuinely this mad was in multiversus, but to be fair, that game is one of the worst design fighting games i've ever seen, so I just uninstalled.

[@ValianceGames]

Thanks! I had some french fries and needed this salt. Can this be a series?

[@chrislister570]

This was many years ago, but someone messaged me to say I shouldn't play Guile if I want to throw projectiless.

[@terrysalt]

I think it's worth noting that saying stuff like "This is bad for your growth" probably won't mean much to these guys. They're not interested in Mortal Kombat as a serious endeavour. They want to mash buttons and see people get dismembered. They'd likely just tell you to touch grass if you suggested they actually invest the time and effort to become good at the game.

[@richardjohnson8991]

Open Mic needs to be included in more fighting games. Please devs, don't be cowards, bring back the thuggery. One of my favorite clips of all time is the KI "i'm on probation" clip. That shit puts me on the floor every time

New players think you are spamming the same combo because new players never block and keep getting hit by the same starter

[@theParallax8514]

Uh yeah….. And this is why I won’t play fighting games. Cuz that’ll be me raging over there. I don’t think I’ll go to the extent that some of these people did, but I would be pissed. And yes, I do suck at fighting games, and me being bad is the reason why I haven’t played them for 7+ years.

Years ago i used to hate fighting games and i def complained about spammers. Casuals complain bc they just don't have an understanding of how fighting games work. They're unable to see the game in the same way as people with experience. They don't know fundamental stuff like the concept of an anti-air.

Rage quitters, shit talkers, people who give up. Then the audacity to say competitive players are toxic. This has been my experience in the FGC for a long time. Casuals are usually insanely toxic and ontop of that dont care to learn the game because thats "sweaty" and its the top players fault the landscape of the game is played this way, Ala Fortnite situation.
