mk1 is still an interesting game I think, even if it's completely cheap compared to umk3. I can understand some people who prefer mk2 than umk3 (hello divine lol) even if it's not my case, but it's true that characters in mk2 are very classy, they even have a better look than the "kitch" looking umk3 characters I think (damn sheeva)

"In my juggle guide on gamefaqs I posted an example of someone using Scorpion and countering a blocked teleport punch with HP, spear, 4 hit combo, 35% vs the possible 55% or so he can get in the same exact situation, and that is what happened with Nafa. I don't attribute him not taking full advantage of punishers to his ping, but to lack of experience."
well, it also means that even messing with easy punishers, I can win more matches than my opponent ... in fact I even don't consider that combo as an amazing one, since it's simple to pull off in the middle of a match(compared to the lao's infinite combo for example), but somehow it haven't worked that night...ridiculous ... however I pull it off easily at boespriet each time I play as scorpion, so no lol, it's not a lack of experience, it was just a bad day...
I think that if I had the opportunity to take part in an umk3 tourney in your country, I definitely would be in the best players. It sounds vain but it's not unjustified: indeed, you seem to consider the chicago players as the best ones, but I can beat thrower with ease where I have a decent ping ; he always does the same runjabbing thing, that cheap crap only works against me in the american servers...elsewhere I can perform with the right timing a good uppercut or just a few crouched low kicks to stop him) so please do not under estimate all the european players!
Moreover, I have a handicap compared to you Matt, I indeed can't train with very skilled mk players in places where I have a good ping, since all the european players I have met so far are really no match for me...so it's more difficult for me to improve ...

"Nafa and I had some good matches online, in his server. I lost every single match. I had something like 80-90 ping, which sucks. Also, the only computer I can play with Kaillera in my brother's laptop, and it can't use my normal controls (Matt's controls) with it. So, I'm at a complete disadvantage facing against Nafa, and just a little disadavantage against Matt and Konqrr and other people in the US. Once I get the Saturn PS2 controller, I'll be good."
yes I remember you.....but like you say, you had a terrible ping there, so it was pretty boring and I really don't think that our matches were good at all...
it must have been hard for you to play with such a high ping ... so I don't have any idea about your skills, but I would be glad to meet you in better conditions for you....if it was possible...
but I guess it's not ...
damn....
