East Coast Throwdown 2024: Mortal Kombat 1 Top 8 Tournament

I didn’t appreciate geras when he was first introduced but now i think he is one of the coolest designs with some of the coolest powers in the game. Fantastic matches.

I like watching MK1 but playing it is another story . I still actively play injustice 2 because it a vibe. Wish the next MK game feels like MKX or MK9

[@Omnaee]

They dont care lil bro😭

[@Error_NINE]

wraith is way too respectful gameplay wise.. he has goro to make everything safe and vs ferra he has a literal command grab he can throw out any time, even in neutral. my favorite mk player rn but i wish he would be more aggressive sometimes. vs unjust maybe throw in raw ferra (at least like 2 times outside the goro combo) to get him scared a bit and make the long mid more threatening and vs mari more of the mid(young ex) projectile or armored special in neutral to get him jumping and teleporting or heck even a switch to motaro. i aint a pro but i really wanted him to win for the shang community and even foxy Grandpa once said the best way to play shang is to frustrate the enemy.

[@theonlyreega]

I know looking alot like final kombat with peacemaker. I hate homelander with an extreme passion. I think it's bs that his fatal blow isn't punishable. And he's super awkward to punish anyway while he's in flight mode. He needs a change

[@pigmuffin3581]

@@xavierdraper8820 I'm all for just sucking it up and trying to get better but i hate people like you. I'm a former tournament and professional player from mk11 (not a humble brag just credentials look for me in the koliseum) Characters and tiers matter, A LOT. it is possible in theory to win a tournament with shang or another trash character like raiden/sub but you have to factor in human error. Nobody on the planet is going to play perfectly ALL the time, NOBODY on the planet is going to have the perfect reaction and punish to each individual exchange in each match. The burden of skill on a shang player vs a homelander player is ridiculously different, you could be 100x better than a homelander player but still lose while playing a bottom tier just due to how much gigantically bigger the margin for error is and how significantly less hand holdy your character is. Don't belittle and call people bad just because you're braindead

[@mauricepitt2963]

stop watching the tournaments if all you’re gonna do is cry, go back to MKX, MK9 and Injustice which had nothing but Meta and broken characters but yea let’s clown MK1. You don’t like MK1 for the same reasons the three games I listed were “good” - Broken Charcters - Everyone played Meta/Counter picked Yet y’all still love those games so much but hate on MK1 that actually gives low tiers a chance to hang with the top tiers cause the new Kameo system. There will never be a fighting game that no one will NOT play meta/broken characters to win so stop crying and get good or stfu

This whole MK11 and X was better because it was faster argument is purely great for the button mashers and cheeser crowd. MK1 forces you to balance pace with button patterns over just button mashing with specials thrown in. MK1 is amazing and might I say the most cost friendly game on the market. It doesn’t force you to even buy the expansion because they give you all of the full update for free outside of the characters and 2 hour story expansion. Everything else can be earned just by playing the game itself including newer skins and stages. SF6 has been out longer and has less content than any game on the market and charges for every single aspect.
