What?

Announcement Video

This is the third iteration of the Curleh Mustache Tournament Series hosted by BT IFC Yipes and TeamSp00ky. A high roller MvC3 tournament series, with this one being the second of UMvC3. Even better, every match is 3 games out of 5, as many players have been begging for as the standard for UMvC3 matches. 25$ entry for those invited and 10$ venue/spectator fee is in place for Curleh Mustache 3.

The last two Curleh Mustaches have been pretty successful at delivering the hype, and with recent shakeups in tournament results with regards to character variety being on blast, we can only hope to see what new technology is put on display here. Will we finally see MarlinPie's inescapable, instakill mixup on a character coming in?

The payout is unknown at this point in time, but the previous Curleh Mustache Series had the winner taking home the entire pot.

The main events this time around are:

• New York vs. Maryland

  TEAM NY
  RayRay (Captain)
  AlukardNY
  FC Chris G
  Moons
  Dieminion DragonGod
  
  TEAM MD
  DJ Huoshen (Captain)

Why?

Do you need any other reason?

The first Curleh Mustache Series was overflowing with hype and new tech, including the infamous Quicksilver glitch found at the end of MvC3's lifespan. But new game, renewed hype.

The second Curleh Mustache Series was no slouch either, with a metric ton of hype as well. Parallax Scroll brought the hype too with the incredible Stream Monster Bingo that took the GAF experience to the next level:

I mean we could all make our own.. but damn.. this is too good. If you like high level UMvC3 play, you would be a fool to miss out the Curleh Mustache Series.

Previous winners of Curleh Mustaches:

• Curleh Mustache Series Volume 1: UVG Noel Brown
• Curleh Mustache Series Volume 2: MCZ AG MarlinPie

Where?

At The Next Level arcade in NYC.

Or, like most of us, watch the live stream here with fellow GAFers on TeamSp00ky's own3d.tv Channel.

When?

Tonight, March 31st, 2012 at 7PM 8PM EST. 5PM PST for west coast folk. The stream is live with casuals at the moment.

In the mean time, you can check out the infamous Bum's House of Crack stream for pipin' and some mayorin', or other current fighting game streams going on.

So did I miss the thing that tunred into a meme with putting West Coast three hours ahead of east?

Just wondering because this isn't the first time I've seen it.

 

[sephi22]

I dont get it - Is Bum coming or not?
His name is struck off in the list, but his stream says hes practicing for this

 

[TheThunder]

Rooting for any non Wesker, Zero, Wolvie, Akuma, Dorm, Doom team.

Or Marlin Pie, that's cool too.

 

[Seraphinianus]

I wanna see some hype anti-morrigan tech.

 

[Azure J]

Best 1st post and 1st reply ever. :lol

Man this one is fucking stacked. Here's to seeing some sick shit.

Edit: I want to see some rushdown Morrigan.

 

[Dahbomb]

I am hyped for MarlinPie's new guard break tech. If I see it on stream I will call it out and you guys can cross off "new glitch" from the bingo.

Dis gonna b gud.gif

Although looking at the Bingo, most of those aren't going to make it. Very low chance of a 5-0 as there aren't that many money matches this time around. But whatever GET FUCKING HYPED!!!

Honest mistake! Will fix

One of the first replies in the SRK thread said that he wouldn't be able to make it, and he flops on tourneys on the regular. The last Curleh Mustache had a live Bum stream the days before too and Bum still bailed. I'll uncross it just to be safe.

 

[Brobzoid]

cant get enuff morrigan

 

[USD]

On the House of Crack stream Bum mentioned that it was his birthday, so there was no way he would be going to Curleh Mustache.

 

[Seven Force]

Quicksilver Wesker gif is just the greatest thing.

 

[h3ro]

Hype.

 

[enzo_gt]

On the House of Crack stream Bum mentioned that it was his birthday, so there was no way he would be going to Curleh Mustache.

But he'll stay up and play Marvel all day anyways at home?

Anyways, noted. Will re-cross.

Wait, I thought Noel was staying in California until the next Canada tournament.

It's only a list of those invited.

When is Canada Cup, btw?

 

[theowne]

Wait, I thought Noel was staying in California until the next Canada tournament.

Does Noel have a job? Does he really get enough from his sponsor to just hang around the country randomly ?

 

[scytheavatar]

Wait, I thought Noel was staying in California until the next Canada tournament.

That tournament is today (streaming now at http://www.twitch.tv/canadacup ), and he's not going because of "passport issues".

 

[Giard]

Morrigan is now top-tier? Things have changed since I've last played...
I think I'll play a couple of matches this week, get my ass kicked by gaffers.

 

[Emitan]

My mustache is pretty curly. Did I win?

 

[Anth0ny]

Still no Bum ; _ ;

 

[scytheavatar]

She's not top tier, but everyone here is expecting Chris G to be in the finals spamming Soul Fists. I actually kind of have been unimpressed by his play recently but it's kind of hard to see anyone in East Coast beating him. Marlinepie might but he's still a bit free to zoning.

it's all about her fireball pressure that builds meter during her doppleganger super.

marlin deals with it better than a lot of other players

 

[hypernima]

NYC vs MD.
Hype.

 

[Grecco]

Does Noel have a job? Does he really get enough from his sponsor to just hang around the country randomly ?

His sponsor is just a dude that sends him to places. I guess he does.

 

[SolarPowered]

Give me Morrigan or give me death.

Edit: I have not seen Marlinpie play in a good minute. I hope he goes crazy at this tournament. He is just one of the best players to watch in action when it comes to rushdown.

 

[shaowebb]

I'm betting we see some people with either Raccoon or more Joe's this time around after Final Round's stuff. A ton of people seem to be trying to make a backpocket Raccoon with Log assist for setups lately and Joe is just someone I'm betting on because of how slick Ageojoe's mixups were if you dhc into slow to setup folks. I just feel people will try to copy his tech or setups in some form with the lil guy at this.

At least I can hope so

 

[Professor Beef]

Fuuuuuuck, it's today? Completely flew under my radar.

I think in that one week alone, he cracked it open, especially with how many times he had to run it back with Chris G after the exhibition. (8 on The Break & Big Two multiple times in brackets)

Give me Morrigan or give me death.

I don't get what it is really, but every time Marlin comes to play, I'm always rooting for him. Everything about his play style just seems calculated in a way you can't comprehend at first glance and dat execution.

 

[Urban Scholar]

that's my joint!

 

[Corimon]

I personally don't believe she's top tier compared to the rest of the cast. Though in terms of zoning, she's pretty much the best. Especially with them Doom missiles.

WHEN DID YOU GET AN ACCOUNT

Also, you going to TAG next month?

 

[rexor0717]

Looking forward to this one. The last one was full of great matches, especially Alucard v Marlin Pie. That was probably my favorite match, and it inspired me to level up my Doom.

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

I'm not going to be able to see this tonight. Does someone usually upload it to youtube the next day?

 

[Lulubop]

Kyohei got this. I believe the winner well also get a WWE style championship belt.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Looking forward to this one. The last one was full of great matches, especially Alucard v Marlin Pie. That was probably my favorite match, and it inspired me to level up my Doom.

MarlinPie's Doom : what is this "hitstun" you speak of?

 

[Azure J]

More like "Hitstun is beneath Doom."

I personally don't believe she's top tier compared to the rest of the cast. Though in terms of zoning, she's pretty much the best. Especially with them Doom missiles.

I agree with this entirely.

 

[ponpo]

I hope Triforce is there.

 

[rexor0717]

MarlinPie's Doom : what is this "hitstun" you speak of?

Doom is actually a DMC character.

 

[Professor Beef]

I hope Triforce is there.

He'll be there talking about how he thinks Wesker is secretly one of the best characters in the game.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

More like "Hitstun is beneath Doom."



I agree with this entirely.

I used to think Doom said "WAAAAH ZIPPITY DOOOOOOO". I wish I still heard it that way.

 

[ponpo]

He'll be there talking about how he thinks Wesker is secretly one of the best characters in the game.

As long as he is there and talking I'm happy.

 

[Professor Beef]

As long as he is there and talking I'm happy.

I was actually making a joke. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't allowed into the building.

 

[Grifter]

I used to think Doom said "WAAAAH ZIPPITY DOOOOOOO". I wish I still heard it that way.

WAAAAH ZIPPITY DOOOOOOO

... and it shows.
