Norcal Regionals 2013 | Road to EVO 2013 Fighting Game Tournament | April 26-28

It wasn't a fluke. Flocker showed that the strategy used by Senor Taxi could be very effective against Morridoom (staying mobile in the air, getting random hits in, gaining a meter advantage), and Taxi had a team shell (Chris/Dante) better equipped to minimize her fireball pressure.

SenorTaxi also does not place top 8 at The Runback on a consistent basis and he was knocked out by JWong in losers of the tournament already. His team did very well against Chris' but the combination of PS3, ChrisG being on sudoku watch, and the crowd cheering against him was ultimately the real reason why he lost. If those two had a FT10 I would bet money that ChrisG would destroy Taxi at least 10-2.

I just thinks his complaints about lag are pretty funny given how he wins every week on the Next Level monitors.

It's not the input delay, it's the amount of frames that drop when characters are just doing stuff on screen. ShadyK couldn't even plinkdash (With a one button dash) effectively when he was on stream for button checks.

.

Would the FT10 involve a WC crowd, PS3 and ChrisG being on sudoku watch?

If you mean before his button check before kaneblueriver where Magus said "he couldn't do it," they were talking about how kbl was trying to wavedash and couldn't do it and how it held back his Haggar play.
 
I know you're mocking the guy with that comment but I feel he's kinda right. Doesn't give Chris G the right to go all diva mode however.

How is he right? You fight with the conditions given to you. Are we supposed to give bonus points to Filipino Champ for winning Evo with an entire ballroom against him? Daigo too?

The point isn't whether he's right or wrong that ChrisG might win a FT10 somewhere, someplace, some other day - the point is that doesn't matter at all.
 
Is there a timestamp for the double devil trigger?
Just watch the whole thing... the double DT is nothing without the build up.

And who cares if ChrisG could beat that guy in a FT10?? Some players might be able to beat ChrisG in a FT10 if they had the prep time... and some might not. It doesn't mean shit as tournaments aren't FT10. Quick adaptation and match up knowledge is a skill expected in tournaments.

I do however agree that if these two meet again ChrisG would beat him. Everyone gets one over ChrisG... it's about consistency.
 
On the one hand, of course Chris G is right. Marvel on PS3 sucks. On the other hand, Mr. Wizard is right. You know what console the game's gonna be run on and you've had several months to prepare for it (even if lag on PS3 is kinda random due to how much shit is on the screen).

As a player, I'm on Chris G's side. Games should be run on the console that runs them best. As a TO, I'm on Mr. Wizard's side, of course. I know he probably doesn't have a choice and I'm sure the TOs of Majors feel like they have to follow suit. That being said... the tournaments are run for the players, so I think Majors should be run on 360 for Capcom games. Mr. Wizard is more or less stuck running Evo on PS3, but Majors aren't. Even though it makes sense to follow in Evo's footsteps, there's obviously a console problem and the other tournies aren't locked into using PS3s so they might as well switch if they can.

Months? It will be on PS3 at EVO for the third time.

My bad :(

And to clarify, I know everyone in this thread knows that SenorTaxi not that great of a player. A lot of things went his way and he played very well against ChrisG, but ChrisG kind of lost to himself.

chris g also never adapted to what taxi did. and taxi was playing a team well suited for chris gs tactics. lets give taxi some credit
 
Also practicing on PS3 don't mean shit. You can't guess when a slowdown is going to screw you over and adjust what you do accordingly. That's insane
 
Goddamn, people need to shut up about Marvel for a while. Injustice is the new stuff.

EDIT: OOPS. Thought this was FGC Weekly. Same posters. >_>
 
So Mike "Mike Ross" Ross is at winners in both SfxT and AE2012, and he even beat Floe at SfxT, didn't see that coming... is he still rocking Blanka/Marduck?

Wait wha? Who are you to say who's a good and bad player? lol
 
@Jason24cf - The worst part about the whole thing is the TO instigating @NYChrisG if you only knew how much of a piece of crap that TO really is smh

What's this about? Chris retweeted it.

I'm not saying he is bad, I'm not saying that he is good. I'm saying he is not that great of a player. My evidence being that he lost two straight after beating Chris and can't even place top 8 at his own weeklies (The Runback is no slouch of course), but he did make it out of his pools.
 
I know ur being sarcastic ,but thats a great stream monster comment.


I haven't stream monster commented on anything since the days Spooky played Legend of Zelda on his stream. ;)

No worries man. Just got the pre-hype going. I have a feeling the crowd is going to be heavily against Chris G when he plays.
 
Yeah guys, this is what happens when you multitask.

Injustice not being at NCR has already been discussed to death anyway, IIRC.

ANYWAY

When's the stream start tonight? I'll catch the early bits if I can before I have to sleep.
