So it wasn't you

If Daigo was in that furry costume and revealed himself after Wong beat Ricky, shit would have been the hypest thing ever.

Believe!

haha

Whole stream was hype as fuck. Iron Fist held back the storm!

 

[Fersis]

Wait what? UltraDavid x James Chen webshow? YES!

 

[Corky]

How was marvel? I went to bed during the AE grand finals.

 

[mr. puppy]

mad props to Mine for having the presence of mine to do random wesker supers and hope for a crossup like a true pro

 

[Alrus]

Will we get archives of the MvC3 top 16? I fell asleep during it

the fact that he wins a game purely based on it is lol.

Just watching what I missed of UMvC3 finals (the last 7-8 matches). Some really good sets in there. Clockw0rk showing how ridiculous Hiryu Vajra is (on point and especially as an assist). And there's something about Iron Fist that's just so fun to watch, respect to Justin for sticking it out. That last set of Grand Finals was all his. Justin showing his dominance again, second time he's won both AE and MvC3, this time with the upgraded version.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Anyone have stats on characters/teams used in marvel top 8/16?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I went ahead and put together a quick list of teams used in top 16. It's possible I missed an alt team somewhere but I think I got them all.


jwong: iron fist/wolverine/akuma
viscant: wesker/doom/phoenix, wesker/hawkeye/doom
jago: wesker/dante/trish
ricky: wolverine/wesker/akuma
neo: wesker/magneto/phoenix
noel: wolverine/frank/wesker
tapebot: zero/hawkeye/spencer
mine: wesker/taskmaster/magneto
fchamp: magneto/sentinel/dormammu
kai: wesker/zero/taskmaster, zero/task/strider
floe: nemesis/wesker/strider
diosx: doom/storm/sent
llnd: chris/hsienko/ammy
clock: doom/strider/ammy
marn: cap/zero/sent, cap/zero/vergil
vader: wolverine/dorm/doom

Congrats to Justin

Assuming I didn't miss any teams from top 16 above, here are some quick stats on character popularity. These numbers represent the number of players who chose each character at least once in top 16. Wesker was popular, but only half of top 16 used him.

wesker		8
wolverine	4
doom		4
magneto		3
zero		3
sent		3
strider		3
akuma		2
phoenix		2
hawkeye		2
dormammu	2
ammy		2
iron fist	1
dante		1
trish		1
frank		1
spencer		1
nemesis		1
storm		1
chris		1
hsienko		1
cap		1
vergil		1

smh. how far we've fallen...

 

[Parallax Scroll]

smh. how far we've fallen...

Hey, it wasn't as lopsided as NEC. Wesker was only in 4 out of the top 8 at SCR as well.

 

[Brobzoid]

don't try to sully my pessimism. we're doomed! total phantom dance saturation!

Capcom's got you covered.

For comparison, AE2012 was hella varied. From http://www.gytnews.com/:

Your final character count for Super Street Fighter IV: Abel, Adon, Cammy, Claw, C.Viper, Dee Jay, Dictator (2), El Fuerte, Gen, Guile, Rufus (2), Ryu (2), Seth, Zangief.

Deej, Gen, Fuerte, no Fei, no twins...

let me guess, there was little to no international competition.

No international players except for Canada via Air

 

[Neki]

to be fair, you're going to get way more overlap in marvel because it's 3v3, compared to 1v1.

 

[Busaiku]

Nobody plays the twins in Japan anymore.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Nobody plays the twins in Japan anymore.

So what does Daigo do, go back to Ryu?

 

[Phoenixazure]

Im curious if any other esports people went to SCR this weekend like Jared, Ultradavid, GemsChen (who also did a tutorial vid with Kane317 on http://www.atlus.com/kofxiii/ /plug) showed up to IPL or is there going to be another week of armchair assumptions from vVv

 

[Arde5643]

So what does Daigo do, go back to Ryu?

To be fair, Ryu's been buffed back to Super levels with a bit of new tricks.

This is the most surprising one, since there were at least 139 Bisons entered in the tournament.

Popular Dictator Kim Jong Il from North Korea had to drop out of the tournament due to medical reasons.

 

[Corky]

14 different characters in top 16?

Needs more balance.

 

[sixteen-bit]

One of the Dic players played Sagat and the Cammy player played Akuma in top 16 too.

So call it 16 characters.

 

[bluemax]

reminds me of the nerf irelia meme from league of legends.

Iron Fist is OP, time to nerf Irelia.

 

[Fersis]

Huh hoh

omg I'm so fucking mad right now.Mine had his H on turbo yesterday.no wonder why he "magically" teched all my throws.fucking cheater.smh

Its all over srk.if its true then I'm gonna be so pissed off

Turbos are banned right? In before : Oni banned in Super Turbo

sweet! x-copying dat workflow

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Oh shit!

 

[Busaiku]

Wow.
Just wow.

I actually never figured out what Turbo does.

 

[Stabby McSter]

eh, i'll wait til someone confirms that. can't trust just one person!

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Does anyone know where "all over srk" is exactly?

 

[Stabby McSter]

ALL OVER MAN DON'T YOU KNOW

i can't find it either

 

[Professor Beef]

It ain't cheating if you don't get caught.

Does anyone know where "all over srk" is exactly?

I'd hardly call SRK a bastion of truth.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Noel should just call it even for his 2 out of 3...no 3 out of 5 stunt at UFGT7.

 

[SephirothRK]

Huh hoh

Turbos are banned right? In before : Oni banned in Super Turbo

wow, what a fraud if it's true. There's no way to prove it unless someone had a camera pointed at his joystick when he's playing.

Noel should just call it even for his 2 out of 3...no 3 out of 5 stunt at UFGT7.

[Korosenai]

Any archives from this event?

 

[Chavelo]

So...

No threads at the moment on SRK.

Or just this post

Mine has turbo lights lighting up on his TE. Noticed it during his match with Tape-bot and saw it again just now against Noel Brown.

Edit: Though Justin Wong just threw his Taskmaster out of a super, so theoretically if he had auto mash on he wouldve teched it. So maybe its modding thing.

Reports say that he was using a modded stick that lights up when a button is pressed (Sparky board, perhaps?)

It's Noel "3 out of 5/1 out of 5/Not an official match" Brown.

K.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

oh snap

 

[Stabby McSter]

OH

no, MINE doesn't use turbos. the stick he was using was x-ray's, and when you press a button the lights light up. they're not actually turbo's.

NO CONTROVERSY HERE, SORRY GUYS

 

[Brobzoid]

yeah. I don't really feel Noel's word is enough. his witness is only worth half that of any other. If someone backs him I'll throw down popcorn gifs and what not tho.

stabby droppin knowledge, all is right in the world again.

 

[Kadey]

I want a stick that lights up.

 

[Chavelo]

Or shit, even this:

Noel Brown doesn't know that even with turbo turned off, the TE-Kitty board lights up turbo LEDs when a button is pressed. RT NOW.

Which would make sense if X-Ray's stick was modded with the Kitty board.

Also, I need to buy one of those boards, btw.
