those wobble grabs ruined the match.. really confused why they're allowing it

thery are hard to setup and use. even with them IC are not considered top tier

 

[Azure J]

Explain this infinite from the Ice Climbers.

Thanks.

In Smash, when a person is grabbed they can mash to tech the grab. Ice Climbers have a universal infinite where if they grab a person, through a timed combination of the universal grab jab and inputs given to Nana (usually a tilt), they can make it so the other person absolutely cannot tech the throw since the buffer for the mash to escape is constantly being reset while Nana pummels the person Popo grabbed. Of course this also adds damage to the grabbed person with which Nana can KO them easily.

 

[Fidelis Hodie]

Armada with a vengeance right now.

 

[Septimius]

What did I just watch the Ice Climbers do? What wad that pause for?

Iceclimbers can apparently kill anyone they grab.

EDIT: ARMAAADAAAAAA

This melee so good
Can people in losers bracket still make it to finals?

 

[ColtraineGF]

Triple turnips in this

 

[Regulus Tera]

Armada's precision turnips > Ken's chases

 

[direct_quote]

I like the poison outfit

Ditto

 

[GuardianE]

da fuck, lol

lol. I like the Elena one. They really should just bring over the SFxT ones too, but I know those will be paid DLC.

 

[MisterLuffy]

Armada is feeling himself.

"We have the license for this specific game, but other companies outside of Capcom have licenses for other Marvel games that impinge," he told Eurogamer. "So we have to find specific times where we're able to release products. It's on the Capcom side and on the Marvel side." He added that "I don't ask anybody to feel sympathetic about that."

He could be lying, but if taken for face value, the license was at least a contributing factor.

Why would capcom have to worry about other competitors games? That sounds off to me personally.

That doesn't inherently conflict with my story. What Seth said was that the team had a choice to either complete the game early on, or not work on it for a long time. They had the license until around the SFxT window, but they didn't want it to cannibalize SFxT. I don't doubt the license was running out, but that's not why we got the update in Fall instead of Spring, which is what I was referring to.

Yes

Read it again. He said game releases on both sides. Marvel hasn't had a game before Deadpool since the Kinect fighting game. The game that takes the spot on Capcom side is SFxT. Reason why it was released early.

Both games got cannibalized by this sadly. SFxT vanilla was horrible and not many people got it and Ultimate isn't fully polished. If SFxT was delayed, we would of gotten 2013 which would give more competition and a more polished Ultimate.

Haven't been able to see much of Smash today, who are the big guys that have been ousted?

 

[SapientWolf]

Because it is hype.

Melee sounds broken enough to make MvC2 jealous.

 

[scottzorus]

Yes

Thanks!

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

LOL @ smash that guy does not stand a chance

 

["God's Beard!"]

The license wasn't running out. Capcom didn't want UMvC3 to cannibalize SFxT sales.

Basically, SFxT is the worst thing to ever happen to fighting games.

And if they waited later it would have cannibalized other Marvel games. Lose lose situation.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Not even close.

 

[ismk]

Haggar is the best.

 

[jett]

That's pretty moronic to allow that grab.

 

[Xevren]

lmfao, this is the greatest image ever.

He wants Rolento to himself, so Rolento confirmed mid-tier?

I interpret my statements as merely adding 2 and 2 together. ;-)

Yes, look up double-elimination tournaments.

well armada and mango are in losers

 

[Kaldea]

Wow, dat Poison costume.

I long for more Ruby Heart.

Fair enough. Whatever the reason, my main point is that Vanilla should never have come out to begin with. The game wasn't finished.

 

[Jokab]

No one in top 5 (m2k, armada, mango, pp, hbox) are out yet, but both Armada and Mango are in loser's.

 

[Septimius]

Thanks!

It's double take-out tournament. If you lose, you go to losers brackets. It's its own bracket, and the 4 best players from that advance, and the 4 best in winners advance. So you have to lose twice to be out, outside of the top 8.

 

[scottzorus]

Yes, look up double-elimination tournaments.

Was just asking, thanks for the reply

 

[Dahbomb]

Officially speaking Capcom had the license until a short time after Marvel Origins.

Naw, Vanilla was good. Niitsuma needed a test game to figure everything out. UMvC3 is a far better game than Vanilla, but only because of Vanilla.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Combo's been my favorite competitive player for a very long time. You better not have screwed this up peter.

 

[racketpunch]

Poor Combo. He's now the scapegoat.
