That was me who tweeted about it. I was actually able to get a screenshot of the article before it went down but didn't have time to post it cause I was at work, here you go: http://i.imgur.com/8v276.png

Really, okay that makes sense I guess if Dorm's harder combos don't that much more dmg...but even the mmhs loop you can do after fingershot don't even seem that hard to do.
AND LOL AT CHAMP exposing Fanatiq.
On his alt team and anti-MorriDoom team, yeah.
EDIT: Damnit Dahbomb.
Also, actual tournament starting after this match.

Those aren't hard, but I don't see him not taking that opportunity - he did it in the corner once. Part of it is that Dormammu does over 600K with an ABC combo, so there's usually no reason to do more when combined with all the chip he probably did already at that point.
What kind of Dark Matter follow-up situation are you imagining Champ not putting in effort for?
God damn it. Evo is the one tournament of the year where I don't want my mains to do well, and they're popping up all over the place.

Wow.. maybe Fanatiq did level up. He beating up Marlin pretty bad.
Edit: Okay Marlin has to be sandbaggin.

Oh okay my bad...I just thought Champ could be maximizing his dmg with Dorm, but thanks for clarifying why.

Well he can extend the damage by doing ADD down into H during a combo in the air. But what Karst said, Dorm really doesn't need to. Dorm with just the jump loops should be able to kill and if not, opponent is in a mix up as they rise.

Noooooo! :-( The worst part is that everyone's going to be too stupid to recognize that Champ's Dormammu is only this effective because of how OP missiles are.
NP.

Champ does it all.
Win tournaments, commentary and teach Henry Cen how to actually stream. Kappa

Just like they think Morrigan is OP because she's backed by missiles.
LMAO @ Fanatiq "God I hate Morrigan... Capcom please nerf her I don't want to figure out how to beat her!"

To be fair..Cen probably has Spooky stream for a good reason lol.

Damn.. I usually watch in highest quality but Cen's stream so bad I can't even watch on the lowest quality.
Thankfully Champ is there. I've watched FGTV enough to know that he really does know how to stream.

I was running the Android app on my Kindle Fire and it was choppy as hell too. I'm pretty sure it's on his end and not Twitch's fault, though.

Haha, did he really say that? I watch streams with the sound off, so I miss all the commentary. Funny too, since his team has some good answers to her.
It's so bad.
As the stream monsters say:Same here, I miss Spooky.
Spooby pls. :-(

Karst:
Just curious, why is it a bad thing if somebody does good with your mains at evo, or any tournament?
Does anybody else feel that way?

Because you then get a lot of shit for it... or people say XXX character is overrated.
I've been using Zero since day 1 vanilla and yea I admit he was being slept on in vanilla but when Ultimate came around the amount of hate he got... ugh. Just rather annoying.

I would like for you to reintroduce yourselves with Phoenix/Shulk from vanilla. Now play Ultimate. Thank you for your time.
That is the fear. If Dorm gets too much play at Evo, he could be nerfed.

I'm assuming it's because if a lot of people use a certain character then everyone gets used that matchup and figures out the tricks you need to know to beat that character
Look at Wesker, for example. He was EVERYWHERE for months, and while he still shows up, more and more people are dropping him because EVERYONE knows the Wesker matchup now. That's one of the big reasons why I don't use Wesker.

I sometimes do feel that way, but it wouldn't matter.

Henry should really invest in some cable internet.
Thank god FChamp admits that Phoenix is holding him back.
He isn't going to get TOO much play... all you Dorm players are getting too anxious. EVO is going to be filled with Weskers getting bodied, Vergil who will also mostly get bodied, Dooms (also get bodied but he will help other characters), Magneto, Spencer, Zero etc.

Not really the one high profile casual was Fanatiq vs Marlin, but I think Marlin was sandbagging.

It makes everyone beg for nerfs to the characters.
Look at 2011 Evo finals for this game:
Wesker/Haggar/Phoenix
vs.
Wolverine/Dante/Tron
Haggar and Tron both lost their invincible assists.
Wesker is kind of a mixed bag, but got some nerfs and some buffs.
Phoenix was torn to shreds, but is still good because XF3 Dark Phoenix is good.
Wolverine got huge nerfs to his dive kick and Berserker Slash.
Dante's damage went from 3 bars per combo being the standard to needing a reset to kill most of the time.
I'm not saying these aren't good changes, but people already whine about Morrigan and Dormammu a lot because they make you think about how to approach them safely. They're like Sentinel, they're unique characters that take some thought on how to beat. The average player does not like this, and wants everything good about them removed so everyone can just spam teleports backed by assists all day.
Evo is what everyone cites because everyone is there. Most other tournaments are missing someone to represent the game, and people hold back their best stuff for Evo. We saw a lot of new tech there that couldn't possibly have been discovered in the month before Evo. It's what everyone uses to determine how good characters are. If grand finals are F. Champ vs. ChrisG, I am seriously fucked because that's 2/3rds of my team getting represented.
That's not it. I've spent a lot of time writing my Dormammu guide on SRK not just for Dormammu players, but so people can learn how to beat Dormammu. I don't want to win due to lack of matchup knowledge any more than I want to lose because of it. It holds you back from learning your character.

about 5 ads in 30 minutes, talk about a girl and trying to show her on stream, so no not really.

fuckin' called it, man
Depends on how it's used. I wouldn't say it's a bad thing though. Like I use Hawkeye on point for zoning purposes, if someone wins Evo with Hawkeye as anchor it's nothing I'm particularly happy about since the character is used way different.
I guess it really depends on the character too. I'll be thrilled if someone wins with Thor no matter how he's used.
