Well for the Fighting game community the number #1 hub for all fighting games is www.shoryuken.com. Commonly referred to as SRK. It keeps a tournament calendar of events and streams that are active and covers all fighting games. Each particular game has its own number 1 fan site specifically to that game but the overall hub is SRK. It use to be more capcom centric but that has changed quickly and you will find plenty of info and tournament updates on all types of fighting games. For MK the number 1 place is www.testyourmight.com they are MK focused. Also there is http://www.levelup-series.com/ which is just a tournament specific site. The reason I mention this site is when you go to it look on the right at the affiliates and each one of those are the number 1 sites for specific topics pertaining fighting games. TL&DR www.shoryuken.com is the TL of the fighting game community. www.testyourmight.com is like the TL for MK9 its competitive MK site. | ||

Thanks a bunch, I don't really like MK9 or fighters all that much but my younger brother loves the crap out of them. Also watching high level MK9 is pretty entertaining. | ||

The drama was that in the finals one of the PDP sticks broke. And what I mean by "broke" is that the block button was stuck down constantly. In the match prior to that for 4th/5th place I believe PerfectLegend was using that stick and apparently his "block" wasn't working, or so he says. He got hit by like 6 low hats from Kung Lao repeatedly and many of the viewers just figured he had given up and didn't feel like blocking low, his character was in fact blocking high though so... it could have been that the stick broke, blocking high, and then came back to so to speak after the match was over. So he was pretty fired up when in the finals the "block" permanently stuck but I guess PerfectLegend never said anything to an official so nothing was ever done. He only started to complain to officials when it broke completely in the finals match. At that point his match was long since over with. Anyway, I loved the PDP tournament so much that I went out and bought a PS3 and MK9 yesterday. Good bye summer  . lol | ||

It was like 2 weeks ago, but still. Just got up one day, and I had been craving the game. Just went out and spent it all haha.

I imagine 2v2 would lag even more. However once i went into the california channel, which is where I live, there was pretty much no lag, or very very little. Even KoTH was fine. So I recommend for the mean time just playing with ppl in your area. MK will be releasing a patch to fix this since they said their servers were unprepared since they didn't expect mk to be so successful. It's been the #1 selling game i think. I hope that patch really does address things since I'd like to be able to play vs ppl not in my area and pull off combos. | ||

The streams have been super nice, but watching kung lao vs kung lao got super annoying. I hope more people spread out the char selection to shang tsung and stuff like that. Nightwolf is fucking dirty Well most people played Terran at the start of SC2 :D Kung Lao is just easier to master then some other characters so many will play him. But as time goes on more and more people will try to master other characters if nothing else to get an advantage in tournaments with characters others do not know how to play against (like in the last one, cyrax users had it pretty easy for a long while and people didn't really know how to fight against their combo) | ||

 ) and the online experience in EU is silly. Takes like 10-15 minutes to get games.It was fun to watch the PDP tourney to see some different fighting styles instead of the all in teleport crap that is going on online mostly. But the game is mad fun and the single player content is a lot more massive than other fighting games. Looking forward to the SSFIV:AE, gonna be mad fun too! | ||
