You really think She-Hulk is a better anchor than Task or Spencer? I think his team order is great as is, She-Hulk is a good meat shield and considerably better with assists, and needs them more than Spencer and Taskmaster (which are better all-around characters IMO).

Absolutely. She-Hulk doesn't kill on a hit, Spencer does. Spencer has better matchups against most of the top point characters than She-Hulk does. Spencer also has better options to DHC out than She-Hulk.

You run into someone like Justin Wong and his Storm going to be floating at the top of the god damn screen timing out your x-factor. And everyone has TOD combos in x-factor level 3.

The best x-factor level 3 characters are the ones with the best mix ups. She Hulk also has that dive thing and it's pretty scary when she all speed up on that crack, and I think it can close the distance pretty well if you're getting zoned out.

This is a good example of Task play on anchor

That video actually helps my out my opinion.

In 1st match Houshen only was able to kill one character with his x-factor level 3 Task.

Houshen made a legit comeback on Sent, and Dorm. Of course everyone knows Smooth also plays like a nut.

2nd match Smooth Viper drops a kill combo on Task and of course he chokes it up again.

3rd match it went down 1v1 Sent, vs Task. And Task HAD X-FACTOR AND HE STRUGGLED TO KILL SENT. Watch from 9:20 and see how much he struggled to kill big ass Sent with x-factor level 3.

Like if that was Vergil Sent would of just died in 2 seconds due to x-factor, swords, devil trigger.

If it was Wesker he would of just ate hard teleport S aka the Noel Brown special. And if you haven't noticed Combofiend almost always save his X-factor for his anchor. Just these last three months he's been using x-factor to kill the 2nd character (then mix up the 3rd with speed/damage bonus) which was a huge shocker to me. I was hoping he added that in sooner, but I guess he eventually learned that saving isn't always the best idea.
 
Guess I'm alone on the She-Hulk thing. Well, alone with Grecco :P I just really think Task has many more tools for zoning, mobility and more damage that keeps him more effective when left alone. She-Hulk without assists, and especially without X-Factor (let's face it, every character is deadly and can TOD with X-Factor) pretty much only has half-decent combos off of throws and a few gimmicky set ups. And any combo she can do off of an air throw is fairly equivalent to an arrow super afterwards Taskmaster can do anyways. Or if your a REALLY good Taskmaster, a great deal more damage off of throws if you can land the arrow OTG.

What did I miss earlier about an Assist Me! feature film? I caught the tail end of that discussion just as I had to go to eat. Great seeing Max/Doom commentary.

Well the reason why I bring up x-factor level three so much is because this debate started with Combofiend. She-Hulk w/o x-factor and assist is ass, but that just isn't how Combofiend plays. He usually saves his x-factor and I think when picking a team you have to factor in your (as in the player) strength, weakness, and just general tendency.

Tuned into the IPL DOA thing and all I gotta say is Vanessa Arteaga looking good! Can we replace some of the SF4 chicks for her?
 
Oh god I am dying at this Wesker commentary right now.

Wesker: Is BlazBlue still a thing?

Stream: Where is X-23?
Wesker: X-23 broke her leg, and had to be shot.

Wesker: That wasn't even a fight, that was a funeral.
 
So tell me. Just about every Hawkeye user I see sets up an explosive arrow on an incoming character. But I've never, ever, actually seen it do anything useful.

What is the go with doing it?
 
Too bad the stream chat's gone to hell.

Who really gets enjoyment out of the copy-paste spam? DOes anyone here do it? (Aside from The Toryuken stream months back, which it was actually funny then, but it did start it all)

I may or may not have just gotten banned for doing that exact thing.

What happened during that stream? I was there so I didn't know how the stream was.

I thought the ascii trollface was absolutely brilliant when I first saw it in the stream, but besides that I don't really do that kind of stuff in the chat. I did start a "replace names in videogame titles with Chie" thing during a Ramnation tournament.

She's a solid player, though.

It was, and I thought the dance party thing was pretty funny too at first..but god damn do people make it stale and not use it in the right times.


And I don't mind the Chie thing at all, just mostly the long paragraphs of text and troll face spam I find annoying.

AzureJericho and myself added to the copy/paste complaints in the chat once. Someone asked if the copy/paste meme was funny, so I copy/pasted his post, name included, and posted it. Then AJ did it, then more people did it, adding more and more names each time. :lol

lol see that I could see be amusing, it's actually creative.


And wow, Rubillionare just keeps hard tagging no matter what lol
 
Oh man if I was Rubillionaire I'd be salty as fuck. That Rocket Punch into Hard Drive not working is so painful to watch every single time it happens.

EDIT: This is the Jill we needed in Assist Me!
and MvC3
 
I am enjoying the fuck out of this Max/Doom/Wesker/Jill commentary. I would watch streams of this.

Doom: What do you know about tiers, Jill? What's the view from the bottom?!

had me rolling.

I don't think shes associated with Max, just a player/cosplayer at the venue. She is gorgeous though.
