The Brutal Legacy of Esports' Most Disrespectful Beatdown

Carl "Perfect Legend" White spent years building a respectable reputation as one of the best Mortal Kombat players. But this long-time fighting game player isn't celebrated for being a three-time EVO winner. No, his legacy has become overshadowed by an infamous first-to-ten exhibition match with SonicFox that took on a life of its own, transforming into one of the FGC's cruelest and most iconic memes.

That is a statement he had made before the match

[@AysarAburrub]

having bad fundamentals does not mean you cant still be a godlike player. Fundamentals is only one factor in what makes a great player great. You could have other skills and traits that cover for your bad fundamentals like having insane reaction time and precise inputs, perfect matchup knowledge, and the ability to read your opponents tendencies faster than they could read you "aka downloading your opponent". And this last part is the most important part in my opinion, because fighting games are all about reading people, it's a mental game more so than about execution.

actually no. its can slip away if he shut his mouth after 10-0. but he refused to accept it thats why. Even if he dont lead the scenario into 13-0, this story still been told again and again, remember evo #37? remember faker what was that? remember Boxer SCV rush? mostly because it fun to see a hot headed selfcentered confident man shattered to pieces, both mentality and dignity. Oldman told us to be humble not for nothing.

[@Reaching8]

The editing of this video falls apart at the end of the FT10. They didn’t just “go play again.” It was mentioned in passing earlier in the video, but the set was expected to have SonicFox on Erron Black, though he picked Kitana later. Perfect Legend, after being 10-0’d by SonicFox’s Kitana got dissed and was handed the mic. The video is for some reason cut in this documentary, but he went on to say that he would have beaten SonicFox if he’d played Erron Black instead. Immediately after saying this, the admin went on the mic and said something to the effect of “Okay so we’re playing again with Erron Black?” PL cornered himself and dug his own grave by saying that, he basically *had* to play at that point. I’m not a good MK player, but the matchups are different between Kung Lao/Kitana and Kung Lao/Erron Black, with Erron Black being considered the easier matchup at the time(not sure if it was a winning matchup or not). PL also said that he would win buzz saw only, which was considered a weaker Kung Lao variation than Tempest, and then he actually switched to Tempest during the last match of the last set. It made no difference, SonicFox was just waaaaaay better. I was and still am a fan of Perfect Legend. I rooted for him to win EVO, and around MKX I used to watch his streams on the train to and from college. I think the constant 13-0 stuff is a bit tired today, but this documentary is about the event years ago, and it doesn’t illustrate what a satisfying and deserved beatdown this was, or show how Perfect Legend made this so bad for himself in the first place, and then went out of his way to make it even worse.

The tier list he made for MK11 a while ago on a stream was downright laughable and shows he heavily favors abusable characters with abusable moves. Don't get me wrong, he's good at what he does. So don't take any of this criticism as me saying he's actually bad or carried by his characters like the average big fish online player. His reads are insane at times. But I just don't dig the playstyle of the same combo over and over and over and over with little changes here and there to start it up. That's not fun to watch to me and actually only serves to diminish what skill he actually has because doing the same thing over and over makes it look like you're good at memorization, not the actual game. And then there's those times he loses on purpose just so he can go into loser's bracket and coast to the finals. He's done it quite a few times.

Ahh, The Legendary tale of SonicFox and Perfect 13gend. The story on how one man loses 13 games in a FIRST to TEN. You love to see such an epic beatdown.

[@muhammadagungwibowo3068]

@ThaReal CLo dude, relax, he's clearly joking. Everyone who was in FG community that time knows what's happened. It's just funny how he lose 0-10 then he proceed to try 3 more match which he failed again miserably. Losing 0-13 in ONE TO TEN match is undoubtedly a legendary meme

[@demiurge2501]

Lets go justin! “Huoh huoh huoh huoh huoh huoh huoh!” *crowd explodes*

[@demiurge2501]

@Leon Silver in order to parry that super, you have to do the first party BEFORE the move freeze. You also have to press forward instead of back, which makes it impossible to block. Also, if he blocked even a single hit of the super, he would have been chipped out and would lose.

[@RighteousPretzel]

@Leon Silver kinda like the equivalent of flawless blocking a like 10 hit x ray in mk11

I don't follow this close enough to know about this, but I would like to say that I love how this information was presented..it's cool to see quality documentaries done on things like gaming. Also from the interview with Perfect Legend...the guy seems relatable...he grew up in a trash talking area (I did as well) and he went for it. He's a 3 time evo champ and I'm betting most of the people sharing memes about him couldn't take a round from him. It's sad that people feel a need to tease or make fun of others vs. appreciate them for their achievements and talent, and to treat them as human beings when they're on top, but most importantly when they're not. In the end it just feels like cyberbullying that he has to deal with for what...being a competitor?

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Nah, it all stems from the fact he lost 10-0, and he could've just said "GGs, I got outplayed" and walked off. TOKIDO has lost 10-0 before. But then he got on the mic and started making excuses like "oh I said I could body another character you play and you didn't pick them". That's when he went from a trashtalking competitor to someone who deserved to get mocked. He could've taken his L. He chose to be a douchebag and then take *another* L.

[@ajr0047]

You gotta know when to stop trash talking If you don’t show regular people basic respect, even in a video game, it’s a good excuse for people to not treat you with respect.

[@dafullclip]
