Viscant already came on the SRK not too long ago and basically laid out the Marvel meta game going into EVO.

Then again a shit ton of changes have happened in the meta game since then. Would like to hear his thoughts on the infinites as well.

Oh and X-23 is top tier now, I don't care what anyone says. If Kubo is on his A game at EVO then he can wreck a lot of players with the proper set ups.

Kubo's X-23 lvl 3 set ups is the most cheapest shit I've ever seen lol, talk about an inescapable unblockable. Wonder why not many US players have picked her up.

We got unblockables. Infinites make X-23's LVL3 unblockables way more viable and threatening.

If not unblockables then you will have to deal with more Doom + Ammy shenanigans. Or Strider Orbs. Or Phoenix. Or Vergil with a shit ton of meter. Or Dorm.

The biggest problem from these infinites is not really that you can TOD everyone and that it's really boring to watch... it's that there will be a shit ton of meter surplus in games. This will make matches much more oppressive and go more in favor of who got the first hit because they will have such a huge meter advantage. Game will then trend around meter users like Vergil, X-23, Phoenix, Dorm and Strider to clinch matches after landing an infinite.

There are numerous X-23 set ups that guarantee character kills. She isn't a popular character in US but in Netherlands all their top players have her on their team. Some top players do consider her just slightly below top tier though. Yipes think she's like top 10.

and AHVB

Eh took like 4 AHVB to kill a character anyways.

The one thing that was awesome about AHVB was not only that it can be used as guard break (plus pistol) but it can punish anything.

Marvel 3 has the DHC into Storm's Hail Storm pop X-Factor and watch the other guy character die. Close enough.....

Something like Magneto for the touch, into Frank for the infinite to get the 5 bars and level him to 5, then dark Pheonix for the lolz if required.

Depends on where you live, and what types of resources and needs you have, lifestyle, etc. I know doctors that make more than that in NY and they live in apartments with no automobiles and such. No kids either. Student loans plus rent which can easily be around $2000/month for a two bedroom apartment without factoring in anything else.
 
Right after the Power Rangers theme comes on Chris G somehow manages to land that Morrigan combo. Goddamn.

EDIT: Oh my god some of the moments are going so well with the music just like last time :lol
