Hello to you KH Scar, how have you been?

Ahhh I’ve been good bro just working gettin this money, chillen wit my family and KH crew...the usual...:)

How is your training for MLG Dallas coming along?

It’s too good, Cat n Show been turning up the heat lately, we won’t be playing around come Dallas we coming 4 a lot of ppls heads, I pray 4 anyone who faces us because we will not be giving anyone room to slack....u better come with it or prepare to be sent home plain and simple....Especially Cat he's been playing stupid good lately, word of advice, don’t let cat get comfortable in a matchup if u do, u might as well put your controller down lol, plus pools don’t start till like 9? Lol shit that’s where we at our best lol

You’ve come a long way since MLG Anaheim.  What have you done this time around to ensure that you will place top 8?

Lol make sure I don’t play on a fked up setup and make sure I actually have a ref watching that knows what he’s doing... Other than that, now that I know what the big stage feels like I can go in confident,  Made little tweaks to my playstyle wit Skarlet she will have 2 different styles for those "2 types of players". I’ve found Skarlet's toasty boost oh the horror!!! But I won’t be releasing the inputs till after Dallas, GGS everybody lol ;)

What exactly happened between you and m2dave a while back?

Who??? m2dave....m2dave..."thinks....thinks" Oooh yea u mean my bastard child of a son? He can’t be mine!, the ugly ass kid looks nothing like me, had to cut his mother loose, damn kid doesn’t even speak good English :/,  Anyway the kid  just got mad cause he found out that I was the best Freddy, that’s all that was. It’s cool though he apologized he knows I’m the truth, that’s why he won’t be at Dallas, he's on punishment 4 his disobedience how dare he challenge my position of power, the fool! I have to save that kid embarrassment of going 3-0 against me, having MLG shine the overhead camera on his sweaty bald head, stressing him out and losing the rest of the last 3 strands of hair he has on his head...

What do you think of his Freddy? How does his Freddy differ from yours?

His is Fraud, mine is that Real Deal Holyfield...you’ll see come Dallas when I whip him out.

Which character will you be using the most at MLG Dallas?

Depends on the matchup, I would like to go Skarlet but as we all know I have a nice amount of skill with other characters as well...but if I had to choose it would be Skarlet...

How do you stack up against the top Kabals and Kenshis of the world?

As far as Kabals I’ve only played one top Kabal and that’s Cat that’s really all I need and I doubt other will be playing him at the level and speed of cat, sometimes his Kabal is on point, and then other times he just gets into a mode where he is feeling himself and starts doing crazy shit that’s hard to stop, definitely all the Kabal exp I need, anyone else who attempts to go Kabal vs. me I have their card, As far as pig ( cause lets be serious there is only 1 top Kenshi lol), he's free I’m going to blow his back out come Dallas ( no homo)  3-0 I’m calling it now send his ass back to Atlanta salty as hell..You’re going down old man, and when I beat you I'm taking your blindfold.... =/

Which character will you be using in each of these matchups?

Dream killers and bloody creations, with a few hidden select surprises, y'all be on the lookout 4 that, a certain character will be bringing some hype to Dallas :)

What do you have to say to the people who are overlooking you going into MLG Dallas?

Please keep overlooking me, there’s nothing to see here folks keep it moving :( The less attention the better.

How confident are you against players like REO, Perfect Legend and Pig of the Hut?

Pretty confident, in fact I’m hungry to face all 3 of them, I’m capable of upsets against them all, no disrespect their great players, but I can go toe to toe with them all...

Who are you looking to blow-up at MLG Dallas?

This would be the perfect forum for you to call anyone out.  16 bit, I want that Kitana yo, Pig Freddy mirror me bro I want u to, and I need to blow up at least 1 member of the zoning academy since the bastard child is on punishment :p. I’m going to blow FOREVER KING's ass up,  go Skarlet against me bro I want u 2, I’ll make dat ass feel sorry u ever picked up my character u bum :).

Are there any characters besides Freddy that you plan on using at MLG Dallas?

Goldfish in that Mileena costume "wink" wink" :p, I’m tryna see what that tech be like.

In your opinion, what KH player has the best chance of winning MLG Dallas besides yourself? 

The usual suspects Cat and Showtime, upset wise, Seraph, LumberZach, King David, Shanxter, And Royale wit dat Kano? Lol

Will you be attending any tournaments after MLG Dallas? If so, which ones are you interested in attending?

Nah more than likely u won’t see me traveling anymore 4 this game after Dallas maybe NEC depending on how good I do here, other than that will just be doing casuals n locals till injustice drops...

What are some of your goals going into MLG Dallas?

Place top 8 or better, get breakout player, and play on point.

Who would your ideal matchup be against at MLG Dallas?

REO, Perfect Legend, CD Jr, Dizzy, Tyrant (yea I want that salty runback) lol

Do you plan on popping off on your opponent if you are able to defeat the REO’s and Perfect Legend’s of the world?  

REO no because depending on who he uses I would know how well I can take the set... PL maybe ;), I’m popping off on CD JR though for sure since he said Dallas is going to be free lol...Oh I’m popping off on 16 bit just 4 the fk of it if I win just because he doesn’t believe Skarlet dominates over the Edenian princess. I shall have her blood. I’m going to pop off and then run over to the StarCraft side and break their game lol, fkn Asians and their rockstar lifestyles -_-, why we ain't fkn signing autographs yo??? Lol

Do you think Mortal Kombat will make an appearance at EVO 2013?

I hope so; it would be dope seeing 2 NRS titles in an event of that size why not.

Do you think Mortal Kombat will be able to hang with Injustice on the tournament scene? Why not?

Lol hell yea man MK will never stop being fun especially since we got all this "toasty hoopla" going on right now, it’s too good! It kind of rejuvenated the game, But injustice will be where it’s at, its fresh its new and hopefully it won’t have some of the problems MK has, people will be mostly on injustice when it drops though dissecting the game and breaking it down finding the usual broken stuff getting it rdy 4 up to 6 patches lol, what I love about it is no jip combos and back to block, say goodbye jip happy online scrubs :).

Who do you see making top 8 at MLG Dallas?

Since everyone else don’t wanna toss out names I will, Pig, Reo, Wound, Cat, Showtime, Me, PL, Dizzy

Lastly, is there anything that you would like to add that I didn’t cover? Any last words of hype or shout-outs?

Say KH hittin the club when we take this! poppin bottles! And goldfish if I make 1st your welcome to come back to the suite sip some champagne sweet heart :), n let me show yo ass these ground pound just frames its "damn good!" Beliiiieeve dat lmao! You gotta wear the Mileena costume tho :0, Nah but shouts out to the whole KH crew Cat, Showtime, Zach, Matt, Seraph,Starcharger, David, Royale the whole squad yo, and shouts out to angel for these throwed ass KH chains we will be rocking at Dallas,  shout out to the whole MK community I luv it, I’ve only been playing on a competitive level in fighting games since February grown so much as a fighter since then doing so. Shouts out to PL for stating the truth on who the best Freddy is, and the respect is likewise with him being top Kung Lao. Also shouts out to the Emperor Clan, Shouts out to tan tan love u girl! Lol, special shout out to Gametime I expect to see u making some upsets in Dallas bro. Shout out to all my haters and doubters.
