Oh undeniably. Very good player, one of the top guys. Consistently had around a 8:1 ratio on UFC 2 if I remember correctly. I don’t remember exactly what his W/L ratio was; I know it was good, somewhere between 7:1 and 10:1.
Being said, I know it wasn’t 185-1 good, as his LEC record mysteriously shot to, immediately after creating a new account. Having been an extremely active player in the competitive UFC 2 scene, I can assure you that the only person on Xbox with the ability to accrue a record like that at the time was Kenetic (MexikkoDro came along a few months later).
Additionally, Z’s style on UFC 2 was entirely grappling based. His standup was good but he was a grappler, that was his style and that’s how he played UFC 2. His ducking single leg was very good, good fundamentals. Played him several times.
Just put it all together man. His record goes from 8:1 in ranked to 185:1 in LEC (where the players were more competitive) on the drop of a dime, all his stats drastically change overnight to perfectly mirror kenetic’s finishing rate and avg fight time, and he’s using a new account (probably didn’t want to share pw for the main). Just look at the fight he had in the LEC vs Afro. Does that look like someone who’s 185-1 with an 85% KO rate? He’s clearly a grappler and that fight shows it.
If you can look up IPs, perhaps thats the only way to get the “concrete” evidence you’re looking for (not sure if that would even work). If there was anyway to see if Z’s 185-1 acct was ever online at the same time as Kenetic NRG, that would be helpful as well (probably impossible).
But in my opinion, it’s clear as day. If you’re not part of the competitive scene, perhaps this sounds like another language to you. But I’ve been pretty involved in the competitive scene, especially at that time, and I stand by everything I’m saying.
Yes, I know Kenetic’s very skilled and knowledgeable. I actually learn a lot just watching his YouTube videos and I used to chat with him a lot. Cool guy. So I’m not out to get him at all. This isn’t “attacking” as you put it. Just want to share what I know, so perhaps it can be avoided/watched in future LECs.
