Niko, I'm going to link you to a few vids of MKs like Zero, Otori, Nairo, and so on. Just look at the insane **** they do. Lower MKs are studying up on that, and though their execution rate isn't anywhere near their idols - their technology is still improving as is their matchup knowledge. Peach on her best, BEST day is lucky to even get a polished MK down to their second stock high percent on a consisent basis. And even if she takes a game...MK is the stronger closer, always. There's a reason Silly Kyle, despite being a beast, has yet to defeat Tyrant's MK in a full set (to my knowledge). There's a reason Nicole, despite being excellent at the MK matchup, has never defeated a top class MK even though she was among the top of the class for our character. I'm all for being optimistic but this is reality homie. The metagame has evolved...people are more educated, execution levels are tighter/faster among every level of play, and only a handful of characters are able to throw down when push comes to shove (save for a few SUPER outliers for B and C tiers, but even they can only ever make it so far).
