Fighting Games Weekly | April 1-7 | And after 0-3, he has risen

Narrowed down to:

Akuma
Amaterasu
C. Viper
Chris
Chun Li
Felicia
Haggar
Hsien Ko
Jill
Morrigan
Ryu
Spencer
Trish
Tron Bonne
Wesker
Captain America
Deadpool
Dr. Doom
Iron Man
Magneto
MODOK
Phoenix
Sentinel
She Hulk
Spider-Man
Storm
Super-Skrull
Taskmaster
Thor
X-23
Dr. Strange
Ghost Rider
Rocket Raccoon
Hawkeye
Iron Fist
Firebrand
Frank West
Nemesis
Phoenix Wright


I have a feeling it's Thor/Hawkeye/Strange. Or Doom in one of those slots. Possibly Morrigan and RR.
RR gets his ass kicked by Soul Fist because he comes out in front. It clearly won't be Frank West, Nemesis, or Wright, because two of those have no chance against Morrigan, and no Frank West team would have problems vs. melee.

Ghost Rider is lols.
X-23 wouldn't have problems with melee teams.
Iron Fist wouldn't have problems with melee teams.
I'm tired. :-P
 
I want this to actually counter Morridoom because it'll be hilarious to go from "there is no counter to Morridoom" to "here's the counter to Morridoom" in 1 page.
 
Yeah 60% of that list is non viable.

Triforce is talking like he's the fucking god of Marvel.

Doom is a GODLY ANCHOR??? JEBAILY PLZ!!!!!

If this is real it will change the game completely. Because then there will be a rock paper scissor counter match up dynamic in the game.

MorriDoom > Rushdown/Melee teams > Anti-MorriDoom team > MorriDoom
 
Here's my breakdown of the entire roster vs MorriDoom:

My list of best MorriDoom "counters" or characters who can compete:

Other clues about the team:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=52702332&postcount=12486

Doesn't have Dante, Strider, Shuma, Zero, Dorm, Nova, Wolverine, Joe, Arthur, Vergil, Spider Man or Hulk on it.


Which means based on the clues and my superior theory fighter intellect... it boils down to Strange, MODOK, Hawkeye, Magneto maybe Thor with a possible top assist like Doom Missiles or Iron Man Repulsar Blast.

Great post, and I agree Deadpool can be a good counter, AA projectiles can be an answer
 
Alpha counters are only going to be good if Morrigan is rushing down which she doesn't do that often. Thor's alpha counter is good but Morrigan has to be close to him. Technically speaking alpha counters WRECK Vergil (because it will make him whiff and be punished for a full combo) but no one uses it. FChamp knows about it and has some gimmicks with it but he doesn't have great alpha counter characters.
Yeah so the team I came up with is Dorm/Thor/Doom. Morrigan doesn't have to go in in lots of matchups, but she DOES against Dorm/Doom or else Dorm/Doom will get spells set up, missiles/beams called, chaotic flame snipes going, toward+h/assist plus teleport happening, etc etc. It's a very dangerous team if Morrigan stays away, which is why Chris originally thought it beat Morridoom. But when he started going in instead, he started beating it.

So you have a team that forces Morridoom to go in and an alpha counter that punishes it for going in. And a character in Thor that works very well with Dorm/Doom and who fights Morrigan better than most (although I still don't think he wins). Sounds pretty good to me, I know that's what I'd be trying if I were still competing.

And yeah I'm sure FChamp knows this, he just hasn't been able to take advantage of it.

Bitch please, all you do is write long theorycraft posts on forums. You can't even see games at the code level. GET ON THE GAMEMASTER'S LEVEL.

Wait is Dieminion playing it today or what?
If he wants to. He's definitely entering Marvel though.

Well, one thing is for sure: this team would get rocked by Wolverine.

This is a solid team. FChamp was talking about how Dorm sucks at the start against Morrigan because Morrigan can be in his face and rush him down but having a Thor back up means he will have to stay away and Dorm can start his game.

But again, it will get wrecked by Wolverine but at least it can do good against the first two characters. If Dorm kills both Morrigan/Doom then he can easily alpha counter into Thor and blow up Vergil so it's possible.
Great post, and I agree Deadpool can be a good counter, AA projectiles can be an answer
He's not a great counter because his projectiles don't have enough durability. He can absorb like one fireball but that's it. Deadpool plus Strider... maybe because he can mix up Morrigan while under her and have Vajra clip her from the top then he can OTG into a combo.
 
How long did it take for Chris to perfect Morrigan/Doom?

Kevin perfected the counter in less than a week after Final Round?
To be fair, Dieminion's team likely uses at least one character he already knows, maybe two. And Morrigan is one of the hardest characters in the game to play. I doubt Dieminion is picking up C. Viper or Chun-li to counter her.

Maybe, but I remember Dieminion wanting to drop his old team entirely for a long time. But I'm thinking Strange will be that character to stay.

Yo even Moons is here? And Sanford on the mic? Zoned Out has been consistently godlike.
 
Is ChrisG actually in the tournament, or just hosting?
Chris G doesn't enter the Zoned Out tournaments, kinda like Yipes and Curleh. In the first few Salty Battles Monthlies, the incentive to come was the chance to get in casuals with Chris G before the tournament, which is a pretty good incentive IMO.

I think it'd be cool if the winner of Zoned Out/Curleh got to play the host in a FT5 for a pot bonus.

And a fellow punjabi in the back, respect!

EDIT: Yo those SJ MODOK confirms.

That's funny because a lot of people playing Injustice's demo compare EVERYONE's movement to Iron Man's. :)
 
I'm jumping right into a troll, but FF8 isn't a bad game, and not even the worst FF game.
I'm completely serious. FFVIII has an atrocious combat system and has a plot worse than what I could shit out on any given Sunday. I might be generous and put FFXII as the worst Final Fantasy, because FFVIII at least had characters, even if most of them were awful.
