I’ve never heard of this story before but apparently it was big thing in the FGC -
Never heard of this before and been hardcore in the FGC for over 10 years now. I think it's something particular about the MK/NRS scene because the people who are into those games seldom tend to play the stuff I'm into.
You have a lot of communities that kinda do their own thing and don't really interact much.
The one game that mixed up a bunch of communities together was fighterz because everyone likes dbz, but outside of that most people who play non-mk stuff usually don't follow mk tourneys.
Also personally speaking, this doesn't do anything at all for me. All the showing off and arrogance is not my cup of tea. Something like Galileio bursting to tears when he won bbcp on evo vs Dogura was way more impressive because of how hard and how back and forth the battle was. He almost died like 20 times but he came back. That's way more interesting than just someone being overwhelmed publicly.
Here you go if you're curious:
