Nah man. Chris G is top 10 in the world in terms of intelligence in fighting games.
I imagine Ski is a really cool person in person, just don't like his commentary style at all.

Nice grand finals.
This made me love ski.
Ski is probably just teasing but it it getting old hearing art talk about stream numbers...
it's not really new. Remember "When's Injustice?" When injustice came out art was trashing all over marvel 3 (when it was the most popular game at the time)

MKX brought the '15ers!
I think Juicebox's poitn was that, that type of scenario recognition and decision making isn't unobtainable. It's a grind that many players, with success on all levels, are unwilling to make because the perceived return for grinding hours to master poking and space control is less than learning a particular combo that does 50%. Especially when you can get great success immediately with certain things while screen and scenario knowledge requires tons of practice.

Ancestral seems totally booty. Chris had to do so much work there; needing the arrow ready to do a far less damaging combo than bojitsu along with the fact that the arrow's only active for a small amount of time seems trash.
It's this a thing that has been happening?
i see what you did there.
What? He's not wrong. Chris G is good at FIGHTING GAMES----not just one game.
Top contender in anything he plays. Mahvel, SF, MK, etc. Daigo for example is just street hitter. I know Daigo has played other games in the past, but that's all he sticks with now.
he wasn't serious. it was a reference to an earlier post.
yea I think he is only picking it in memory of Green Arrow. Bojitsu seems like the stronger stance tho.
Forgot what stream he was in but yeah, there was definitely talk like that coming from him in chat. Might've been his own channel.
seems like art wants MKX to be the main FG in general or something
I think he just wants to watch the world burn.

Chris knows Bojitsu is better he just likes ancestral because it reminds him of Green Arrow.
Seconded.
You get so much more use of meter with Bojitsu. Meterless 35%+ no issue off a confirm. With meter 40%+ off ONE bar. That means 3 right reads, or 3 punishes, and you can win with Bojitsu. With Ancestral that's 5ish it seems. Meh.
Plus every time he sets up one of those arrows he had to block a mix up potentially where he did it on screen. It killed his momentum.
Also, I didn't see him making use of any of the other arrows. Stun is cool and all, but one of the things you give up easily is wake up ex bow swing which is amazing against people doing pressure on your wake up.
like I said earlier, Remember "When's Injustice?"

How well MKX does in the long run depends entirely on its community. Initial hype and stream numbers don't really mean anything for fighting games, especially compared to stuff from other genres.
Yeah, MKX will somehow become the biggest FG around when Asia give zero fuck about it.
I also suspect Europe has a niche community for it, but I know some countries are still negatively biased toward western made FG like France. The game has potential to become the focus of the FGC, but the caliber of players is nowhere close to what SFIV offer (and that's a factor that's just as important as the game itself).
Sounds like he's trying to create hype to drive up interest in MKX to me. Dunno if this will result in anything but getting people partisan though lol.

MK will go back to being a niche game in a year. Happened to MK9 so I dont see why anything would be different here. Especially since NRS has already destroyed their PC community and their netcode is straight booty. Quote me on it.
It's pretty much the same song and dance every time a new game comes out. Let that boy get his CPM.
sadly, yes. i think he's just tired of usf4 dominance in the fgc and is happy something new is getting attention. or maybe he really does want the world to burn. ;_;
EDIT: WHO CAN STOP STRIDER? this is so free!

Is there anything about it that makes it a bad fighter to you?
I can safely say I'll be grinding this game until SF5 next year.
Which at that point someone can quote me on it in 2016, but MKX will be dead as a door nail once SF5 comes out.
