UltraDavid reading the Annie description.

Damn that unenthusiasm.

"BEOWULF HAD A CHAIR"

 

[Passive Assassin]

Goddamn Moe killed Stanley :[

 

[Karsticles]

Whoa, I didn't know you could control the trajectory of Morrigan's Level 3. That's pretty cool. (FGTV stream).

What?!

 

[commanderpepper]

Stanley Cup 2013. I'm down for Stanley as 2nd character.

Also Bottom Four, based Ultradavid.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Ultrachen should be renamed the damn chrisg is good show.

Is Beef on it??

 

[kirblar]

Ultrachen wants Eliza. good shit.

She was the obvious winner from Day 1. Best design by a mile.

UltraDavid reading the Annie description.

Damn that unenthusiasm.

"BEOWULF HAD A CHAIR"

It's not entirely their fault. Annie's description was way too vague from the start. Only in the final week did we learn that she'll be summoning cosmic bodies while fighting which is something we've never seen done extensively in any fighting game. Minette is pretty much like Frank, I guess?

They're pretty much voting on aesthetics alone like many people.

 

[enzo_gt]

Definitely agree with Ultradavid. Those other characters are definitely looking bottom 5 if I had to make a list, it definitely feels like an elaborate group troll to pick the most boring character designs (esp. Annie and Minette). Those designs are so goddamn boring and Eliza blows them away, it's just perplexing.

What?!

Shady K activated Morrigan's Level 3 while coming in and it went downwards and he remarked "oh I didn't know you could control it, I was wondering why it was going down."

I was just mostly talking about the fact that he was just trailing off and being all "Pffft really" about it all.

And yeah, that was basically what I was thinking about Minette's gameplay mechanic.

#TeamHeHadAChair though

Yeah, that is the general sentiment once you step outside the fandom and art circles.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Ultradavid do a Melee show and let me on

 

[enzo_gt]

UltraChen just dropped the unfortunate news that NorCal will be handling much of the commentary at NCR. This likely means Magus will be commentating.

I'm sorry GAF, I just think it's better that we all found out sooner rather than later.

I'm excited for Darry commentating at least.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Man we don't even talk about CCLive anymore. And Magus is fine. We need drunk Darry and Magus back.

 

[Judderman]

I never understood the hate for Magus.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I never understood the hate for Magus.

He's a hipster

Spoiler

But really he has horrendous bias and is the ultimate top tier wagoner

 

[The Last Emperor]

I never understood the hate for Magus.

his opinions are terrible and his voice is grating

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Yeah I figured that out today too. If you jump in with an attack in Injustice you better bang out that god damn combo before you hit the ground or else you're not getting it.

Which really makes no sense because a lot of character's j2 cause the opponent to reel for like a good second but they can still block during that wtf.

 

[QisTopTier]

Yeah I figured that out today too. If you jump in with an attack in Injustice you better bang out that god damn combo before you hit the ground or else you're not getting it.

LOL this is pretty true, also we should play

 

[enzo_gt]

I never understood the hate for Magus.

For Marvel anyways, It's been spelled out over and over again when people say he's okay. He is simply not accepting of any characters that aren't top tier, has no tolerance for approaches or playstyles that don't resemble those of a team featuring Mags, Doom and/or Vergil and is worst of all is always condescending in his analyses of players that do not adhere to the aforementioned. Not to mention he's not that knowledgeable and has to be corrected habitually.

He's a flat out bad commentator.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Sure I can play for a bit, I still suck though.

 

[Busaiku]

Spiritjuice or Coopa should commentate everything.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Spiritjuice or Coopa should commentate everything.

Are they doing a side stream? Norcal does have a lot of anime players.

 

[Busaiku]

I doubt it.
Persona's being streamed on iPlayWinner.

 

[sephi22]

Man. F. Champ is in this week's OBS?
I'm working on an assignment. Can't listen to it.
When I try to access the archive I get some error on chrome.

 

[enzo_gt]

OBS show dude (I think Tom Brady speaking?) saying whoever got 2nd at that 2k bonus Injustice Launch tourney at WNF pirated the game 2 weeks early to try and get the jump on folks and get that fight money.

Dat piracy encouragement.

 

[Jauncy]

I enjoy Magus commentary. Hope he on the mic for most of the marvel matches.

 

[Dahbomb]

Magus is a solid commentator when he's keeping his bias in check otherwise it gets out of control.

Also Viscant replied to be with a huge e mail on PATCH TALK. He wants Frank West nerfed. Best character in the game confirmed.

 

[Chavelo]

LMAO, did the bronies invade the Skullgirls voting polls or something? Fucking embarrassing that the people voting for the lolis only want to see them in and not even touch the game. I always thought Eliza was a good design for a fighting game character, but I agree with UltraChen: BOTTOM FOUR.

Which is pretty much impossible. Dude could be on the top tier but his hate for the game/players get to him. Hell, Dnyce is more bearable than Magus at times.

AND YOU HAVEN'T POSTED THAT SHIT BECAUSE...?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

I'm fine with Magus commentating any matches this weekend involving Firebrand.

What ... Dnyce? No.

 

[Edgeward]

Let's never speak of DNyce again

 

[Chavelo]

What ... Dnyce? No.

Yes. Motherfucker at least gets excited about a match. Granted, he gets on my nerves, but it's better than hearing Magus go: "He didn't have to do that, with the low tier character, what a waste of talent" 95% of the time. Shit gets depressing to hear.

 

[Dahbomb]

I was waiting on his permission to post it, now I have it. Should be posted in the UMVC3 OT shortly.

Who are the top 5 doom players?

Clockwork, Marlinpie, Champ, Shady K, Apologyman

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Champ, Clock, no one else is even close to them

 

[enzo_gt]

Who are the top 5 doom players?

Clockwork, Marlinpie, Champ, Shady K, Apologyman

Clockwork, MarlinPie, Champ, Chris G, El Gato

 

[Dahbomb]

The Pure One has graced us with his word.

 

[Anth0ny]

Chris G has a fucking boring and ugly Doom, but he gets the hit better than anyone else. And really that's all you need with (x-factor) Doom.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Everyone can be #1 Doom with X Factor level 3.

 

[Dahbomb]

FChamp has the best Doom. After that I don't care.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

 

[Zissou]

Everyone can be #1 Doom with X Factor level 3.

Dr. Doom anchor is like Sent anchor tier.

Definitely agree with Ultradavid. Those other characters are definitely looking bottom 5 if I had to make a list, it definitely feels like an elaborate group troll to pick the most boring character designs (esp. Annie and Minette). Those designs are so goddamn boring and Eliza blows them away, it's just perplexing.

Eliza is the top pick free because she has every notch going for her (design/gameplay mechanic/characterization and storyline). At the same time, I think a lot of people are doing themselves and the final four a lot of injustice thinking they're there because loli. I'm sure there's a group out there like that, but most people just taking SkullGAF into account seem to be backing their horse because of something they're bringing from the gameplay side ON TOP OF their design.

Shady K activated Morrigan's Level 3 while coming in and it went downwards and he remarked "oh I didn't know you could control it, I was wondering why it was going down."

Wait, whaaaaaat?

It's not entirely their fault. Annie's description was way too vague from the start. Only in the final week did we learn that she'll be summoning cosmic bodies while fighting which is something we've never seen done extensively in any fighting game. Minette is pretty much like Frank, I guess?

They're pretty much voting on aesthetics alone like many people.

Yeah, you pretty much witnessed how much I came around to Annie in the last three votes yourself when more of her gameplay started getting mentioned. If I only went based on look, she'd probably have been bottom of my top 20 or just not on my radar at all. Then dudes decide (late-almost endgame in the vote) to talk about her and I find out she has Black Holes, Microsuns, Quasars and universal heat death on top of being a true sword character and it was almost impossible not to start rooting for her.

LMAO, did the bronies invade the Skullgirls voting polls or something? Fucking embarrassing that the people voting for the lolis only want to see them in and not even touch the game. I always thought Eliza was a good design for a fighting game character, but I agree with UltraChen: BOTTOM FOUR.

Can't agree with this assessment because it's speaking more as a "looking from afar" deal than it does for the reality (at least as far as Skullgirls-GAF). Everyone's picking because they like the gameplay and what each character has to bring forward with enough minor jabs at their allegiances.

Ah, who cares I'm just here for the ride.

#TeamEliza here by the way. Vote for what's right.

 

[nycfurby]

Lots of solid Sf x TK players up here like LPN, Kelvin and others so Im looking forward to it. Also, Momochi and Infiltration.

I'll actually be in trenches recording direct feed (suck it arturo) matches that didnt make it on stream and uploading them to Capcom Fighters.

MAXCPM?

Hmm, I'll definitely get a beanie and a "pro scratch" shirt. Those hoodies look kinda nice too.

edit: I think a messenger bag with the MadCatz scratch logo would be pretty damn cool.

 

[enzo_gt]

Champ has the most consistent Doom combos. Also won EVO.

Clockw0rk has the best mixups and set ups absolutely FREE compared to any other Doom, also innovator. Whenever I watch Clockw0rk play I actually wonder why people think any other Doom is better.

MarlinPie is an innovator in Doom tech, so far ahead that people aren't even using his old shit yet (HM OTG). Not to mention he's solid and consistent as well.

El Gato is the god and founding father of ridiculous Doom TAC infinites and exploits, is okay player with insane execution that's tech rippled throughout the community without much credit given.

Chris G is good by virtue of being Chris G and sonning FChamp using his own Doom with the famous dash over the liberation punish. Chris G is too clutch and smart as a player not to have that translate when he has Doom on point.

But yeah the best Doom isn't exactly something that's prestigious when usually it's whoever gets the foot dive and X-factors. Best Doom is pretty arguable out of those guys, though I'd take El Gato out of the running despite his influence. I think if I had to put a finger on it it'd be Champ because of the unparalleled consistency.

GAF, imagine you're president of the FGC and have any amount of money. How do you spend it on the FGC and why?
