Geeeeez, 2 Zero/Doom/Vergil and 2 Mag/Doom/Phoenix too. Shame that this is the variety in UMVC3's last EVO.

Shame. I remember last year's being pretty diverse

They could have balance patched the game when they ported it to current systems, but they have a new game to sell, I guess

 

[Mass Effect]

come on m2k you can't go out like this

 

[Lucumo]

Sad he's playing his fox, M2K's Marth is amazing to watch

Both his Marth and Sheik are really fun to watch.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

Nah, all of those are different on different stages, plus some stages have walls that can be teched/wall jumped from and others don't. They're all flat, but that's really all they have in common, that's why they're banned in favor of always going FD.

RIP Mango, hard to see him coming back and beating Armada in Mango after a performance like that

huh. Smashboards disagrees on size and blast zones, but it is a pretty old thread. Completely agree with you on wall jump/techs though.

Smashboards also brings up grass and reducing slide distance which does make a big difference in perfect pivots.

Really want Mango to take it but he's not playing it like that. M2K is playing a super patient Fox rn but I think HBox can work through this

My take on it. Scar and Toph are paired so often that you sometimes forget how much better he is with other commentators.

I just tune him out pretty much at this point.

Come on M2K! Tired of seeing Jigglypuff.

 

[Hyperactivity]

It still exists basically just for Hbox.

Think you used to see it against Armada's peach, but those were also from the days when Armada vs M2K would almost always go to Armada. Around smash summit or something M2K figured it out with his Marth.

Idk, I always get nervous seeing M2K go any other characters, it feels like his Marth is so much better

 

[FireBeaver]

RIP M2K

I hope Zhi streams Barfights again, which basically means him wandering around and trying to talk to drunk people.

 

[FriskyrumX]

Yup, I mean I can see why he would go Fox against him... but it just plays so sloppy sometimes.

 

[Mass Effect]

Yeah this is bad

It still exists basically just for Hbox.

It's not very effective...

 

[Lulubop]

Who won ij2?

 

[thepotatoman]

So, Armada > Hungrybox > Mango > M2K?

I feel that's the ranking here.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Come on M2K! Tired of seeing Jigglypuff.

This is EVO Hbox and typically clutch HBox. Don't get your hopes up

 

[Lulubop]

I feel that's the ranking here.

What happened to leffin? He fell off that hard?

 

[FireBeaver]

So, Armada > Hungrybox > Mango > M2K?

I feel that's the ranking here.

M2K and Mang0 switch sometimes but yeah that's pretty much it.

 

[Dyle]

Poor M2K

 

[CronoShot]

So, Armada > Hungrybox > Mango > M2K?

I feel that's the ranking here.

Hbox and Mango seem to go back and forth, but otherwise yes.

 

[thepotatoman]

What happened to leffin? He fell off that hard?

He's either number 5 or 6 depending on where you put PPMD.

Maybe even just top 8.

 

[Regulus Tera]

The gap between the top 3 and Mew2King is just too much

 

[FriskyrumX]

What happened to leffin? He fell off that hard?

He's been on and off for a bit but he's been getting back at it.

 

[Kadey]

Mango has to channel his 2013 self.

 

[secretanchitman]

This is EVO Hbox and typically clutch HBox. Don't get your hopes up

Haha yeah...he plays Jigglypuff so damn well but I just don't care for the character in general.

Come on Mango!

 

[Hyperactivity]

The gap between the top 3 and Mew2King is just too much

M2K vs Armada was really close. Felt like it was a huge gap in the past, but not so much anymore. And Mango and M2K are similar in that they can just flame out at times.

He's either number 5 or 6 depending on where you put PPMD.

Maybe even just top 8.

I miss PPMD. PPMD vs Armada for Apex 2015 was such an incredible set.

So, Armada > Hungrybox > Mango > M2K?

I feel that's the ranking here.

Depends honestly. I think that's the consensus, but it feels likes M2K struggles especially with HBox, he looks way more on top of his game against the other 2.

 

[FriskyrumX]

COME ON MANGO YOU'RE THE HERO WE NEED.

 

[dr.rocktopus]

M2K

PPMD will save us from HBox...when he gets better

 

[Rainy]

PPMD was struggling with depression right? Or what health issue was it?
Regardless hope he gets better.

 

[chaosblade]

What happened to leffin? He fell off that hard?

Leffen hasn't really reached the peak he hit before his visa issues again. He was debatably #2 in the world at that point, but since he's been back he's been a lot less consistent. Some great tournament runs, but more ugly losses.

PPMD was struggling with depression right? Or what health issue was it?
Regardless hope he gets better.

Health issues. He entered a doubles tournament recently and looked okay. His Melee play was kind of lacking though against other top players (read: Hbox, his teammate kind of carried them despite throwing away stocks left and right), I'm not sure he would still be top 6 even if he came back.

 

[FriskyrumX]

PPMD was struggling with depression right? Or what health issue was it?
Regardless hope he gets better.

Nothing related to depression, he has low testosterone and gets really fatigued a lot because of it.

He did play in a tournament a few weeks ago though and he's just testing the waters and may slowly come back.

 

[Kadey]

We must defend our shores from this boy with a mullet. Doesn't matter who, but it should be Mango because.

 

[Mass Effect]

YYEEESSS

 

[GeoNeo]

Rofl this bar fight production is John D level.

 

[M_A_C]

https://www.twitch.tv/happystupendous live streaming bar fights I believe

 

[Revven]

This is Loser's Bracket Mango. He's got this.

 

[FriskyrumX]

GET IT MANGO!

I see this stream is still shit.

 

[Mass Effect]

JUST ONE MORE

 

[StriKeVillain]

Was Mango the one who had hit the mother of his child, or something?

 

[dr.rocktopus]

MANGO PLEASE

 

[Regulus Tera]

Holy fuck that trade

 

[dr.rocktopus]

WTF SLEEP???

HBox bringing it back

 

[Wallach]

Kinda pulling for HBox here. I feel like Mango would get gobbled up by Armada coming from loser's.

 

[Regulus Tera]

SLEEP

 

[Captain Rage Quit 69]

I'm really hoping if Mango wins, that he doesn't just get 3-0'd by Armada like at Genesis. That would be very disappointing.

 

[Mass Effect]

Mango PLEASE

 

[Ōkami]

Mango already gave up, HBox is winning again.

 

[jman2050]

Why would Mango go Yoshi's and not FD?

 

[Farsi]

Holy cow at this HBox comeback

 

[Gr1mLock]

Crosscounter stream is dogshit.

 

[Dyle]

I'm really hoping if Mango wins, that he doesn't just get 3-0'd by Armada like at Genesis. That would be very disappointing.

At this rate, Hbox will get 3-0'd in Grands
