Makes me feel less bad about all the games I lose getting shinshoryu when I want a shinku, though.
I dont think anybody other than maybe tokkido uses here anymore full time. Might never happen.

You know how sentinel was patched the first few weeks of vanilla? I think that might happen again.

Yeah, shame that it has to happen to a guy like Chris G.
But props to Wesker, he busted out that Spencer tech and stuck with it.
EDIT: I mean PR Balrog. Man fucking Wesker - I keep seeing him everywhere.

People were dropping combos left and right at the end. PR Rog had crazy combos at the start of the tourney, I wonder if the monitor for finals was jacked?
It's nowhere near as bad of a state as AE was. Plus, we're three weeks in, let's not get crazy here.
There's a complete difference between what the usual response you see from players when they lose and are salty in Chris G's position, but he looked 100% crushed as if you had just told him he has cancer, his wife is dead, his kids got hit by a meteor smash in real life, and he only has 20 minutes left before he dies a slow and painful death that will take 48 hours, but feel like it took 9001 years.

Nah, first they gotta put out UMvC 3 Arcade Edition, then we gotta wait months for it to hit console, then we gotta wait for people to find broken shit in that, THEN we get UMvC 3 2012.
CAPCOM CYCLE IS THE NEW SONIC CYCLE YALL.

This game is gonna be a bucket of lolz all the way to EVO haha.
I look forward to the many shenanigans in the coming months.
It's still SFIV so I never stuck with it though.

This is Niitsuma's baby we are talking about. New disc incoming for February 2012 @ $40. Zero gets buffed again and he STILL doesn't know what he is fighting for!
AE was kinda crazy, but I was just happy to see Makoto so strong.

Cutting him to 750k health wouldn't fix him but it'd help a little.

I still love the Bionic arm video
Oh man. This moment never gets old.
Most def. Literally everyone (save maybe those that play him) is complaining about Wesker right now. Same as Sent in the first few weeks and Phoenix in the months before Ult. They're not gonna ignore that.

This is the most hyperbolic thing ever and so true.
OMFG @ PLAYING BIONIC ARRRRRRRM FULL VERSION CLIP WITH MARN IN STREAM CHAT :LOL

Taking advantage of that BIOOONICCC ARM vid, nice
I'd bop his health a little, make his combos harder/stricter to do, and lower his damage. Oh and get rid of the glasses mechanic...da fuck.

Wesker doesn't need a health nerf, he needs a fucking damage nerf.
Even just getting rid of the glasses buff would make him balanced compared to the rest of the top tiers.

I never saw this much team variation in vanilla (not counting Wesker) so really hope they fix it.
WOW at this post... but the expression on ChrisG face was really that heart breaking. I have never seen such a sad face in a tournament ever. I really thought he was going to cry.
Yeah if you look at the character usage statistics and take out Wesker... all other characters were fairly evenly represented in the upper 30 of the cast and no particular character had such an overwhelming presence or leg up on other characters.

Well i meant there gonna nerf him in general. It wont be a health nerf. Probably a damage nerf.
I agree with this. I think the only thing that really needs to change is the glasses buff.
Truth. Crest. Fallen.

If they nerf Wesker people will just flock to Wolverine, both are little to crazy imo.

I don't see Capcom putting the effort in to do an actual mechanic nerf so early. Life nerf is quick and easy.

Daaamn, but yeah, you could feel his profound sadness from the moment Wesker stepped in after Ryu fell.

Wesker will never be as bad as Sentinel is, but its pretty interesting to see that he is sorta an analogue for what happened in February. Look at Sentinel now, he's a clunky POS bastard who isn't that great on point (or to me, even as an assist, but that's another conversation).
I hope he DOESN'T get nerfed. He's just easy but effective enough IMO. There are ways to deal with Wesker.
I think people just want a villain
Remember how many Sents there were at Winter Brawl (think I have it right -- the first Marvel tourney, anyway).
In other news: Props to Chris G for all that Hawkeye tech. Holy shit.

:lol at Marn salty over the Final Round vid.
You could see it in how he was playing after that whiffed ShinSho. He just gave up because he knew it was over.

Arturo with the rape whisper.
At least Wolverine can't just get through zoning for free anymore. You have to think about what you want to do with him to win - unlike in Vanilla.
Really, Wesker just needs to lose the glasses buff and he'll be fine. The only other nerf I'd give him is... well, I'd just remove XF from the game and replace it with just the cancel aspect of it.

Character usage for top 8 finals: I did this in my head - somebody double check this
Wesker - 7
Wolverine - 3
Akuma - 2
Spencer - 1
Ryu - 1
Frank West - 1
Storm - 1
Magneto - 1
Dante - 1
Trish - 1
Taskmaster - 1
Felicia - 1
Vergil - 1
Super-Skrull -1
Firebrand - 1
Hawkeye - 1
As you can see, the balance is spread out. I think the top characters in the game are well balanced amongst each other (shit characters are still shit but whatever). However, that Wesker really fucks up that spread.
Props to anyone who does top 16
Wesker - 7

They'll just flock to Wolverine, Zero and Doom for the most recognizable strong characters. Each of them could use a trimming too.
Wesker's glasses are stupid though. Also, a 100k health nerf is totally justified.
Ravaged the Top Tier? Did you just watch the same Finals I did? Logan is doing just fine.
Wolverine was PR Rog's ONLY character. All the training mode Spencer action we saw from him yesterday was completely gone once it came down to actually using them in Top 16.
Ugh I'm actually salty right now for ChrisG.

I really don't think he should be nerfed outside of removing the glasses buff/mechanic.
That thing is stupid and has no business here (kinda like Yun's EX grab/EX lunge punch bullshit but worse).

Capcom helped Wesker achieve what he couldn't do alone, reach godhood.
