I actually don't know who would win that match; Viscant is theory fighter extreme, but he's fallen off a bit and isn't top-tier in the execution department (which he's the first to admit). As far as I can tell from the Twitter stuff it seems like Alukard was a dick but Viscant turned it up to 11 immediately, so I dunno man.

Ahahahaha:

.@jayviscant your transformation to twitter monster is complete. now rise
 
You know i was worried that with the positive exposure the FGC has enjoyed this past couple of weeks we would forget our roots for drama!

I'd probably bet on Alukard over Viscant too. I'd bet on a lot of folks over Viscant, lol. I was quite happy when he got 3-0'd by Darrryn at Evo.

The escalation to "MM me or shut up" is pretty amusing though.
 
Alukard over Viscant.

Time to start your face turn.

This is great.

I'm getting a 'I say you're bad but I refuse to compete against you because I don't like the game and... because I'm better at it than you anyway or something?' vibe from Alukard.

I am not getting his reverse drakula logic here...
He won't play him unless the game is 'fixed' the way he wants it, or....

According Alukard's tweets. When he says bad he means "When someone doesn't understand what overpowered is or not"

LMAO @ this drama over the patch.

Alukard is just salty that Viscant doesn't want to buff Iron Man's dashes too much.

I feel the opposite. I want Viscant to lose to further cement his fraud status so the next time a "nobody" calls him out, he'll know his place.
He already beat CJ so he is slightly above fraud status.

Man this whole Marvel patch thing has the community at each others throat.

@DrewGrimey Would anyone be interested in watching a FT15 pushups between me and Drew? Or would me beating him down 15-2 bore people?

Let's do it Gundam. 15-0 there.

That's the thread that Alukard started with Rog about what he meant.

LOL ok, that makes sense. Jay's reaction was tremendous though.

I mean, I'm no Master of Marvel Mechanics™ but Viscant put a lot of stuff out there, as his opinion with fairly reasoned arguments to back up his main points...

Alukard seems to revel in the 'I'm a non-mainstream real dude and only I and everyone around me REALLY SEE the REAL problems' position and yet got very butthurt that Viscant got press for his change ideas when he didn't care enough to put out anything himself.

He says the ideas made him angry, but to discount what he disagrees with with- 'Oh, well this dude is just a 'bad player' he doesn't get what the REAL issues are like me' seems a bit pretentious.
He could easily have written out counter-arguments or just gone out and wrote his completely independent piece about what IS the proper method of balance that would make the game better?

It's really easy to sit there and shoot down everything other people say as 'Oh, you're dumb so whatever' but it really doesn't help anything.


Such a wonderful twitter-slapfest though

Alukard is young!
 
yooo jay viscant going in. Too bad the twitter drama seems to be over, but it was mad hype. I would definitely take viscant's opinion over alukard's especially since viscant explains his changes. Even mike ross backed him up during that ufgt panel

LOL, they just said that Vanilla Iron Man's air dash was crap.

That stream is like listening to GFAQs vocalized. Off.
yo damn @ this coming from Karst.

And yeah this is pretty brutal. Fanatiq confusing hitstop with air dash momentum ATM. Come the fuck on.

God damn EVERYONE is fucking theory fighting now.

Forward air dash is worse in Vanilla as is up down air dash. Tri dash was 10000x better than what it is now.

Viscants notes are pretty damn good. He has more marvel experience than
most of the people who actively play the game. His references to Marvel 1, and Marvel 2 are great, and he clearly knows not to take away the strength of a character versus removing shit completely.

Also, who's Alukard? Id never listen to Fanatiq for any patch advice.

Viscant isn't always right, but he is smart. He gets what's going on in the game. I've never heard anything theory-related from Alukard. I don't even care which one is the better player. Understanding the game on the theoretical level and understanding it on the practical level are two different skillsets. Theoretical understanding requires an open and creative mind to see how changes would work contextually, which most top player's don't have. Hell, no one who even makes the games we play is great at them, but they still turn out great, more or less.

All this drama is going to look funny when this "patch" turns out to be nothing.

The guy in charge of fighting games at Capcom USA has said on numerous occasions to the public that the UMVC3 team is disbanded and the developers are working on other titles. If there is a patch, it won't be for a long ass time.
