Guard+punch is because throws are also guard+punch. A few throws (most catch throws) are unbreakable

When I first saw it I thought it was a parody of something. I was wrong. That reminds me, I need to get back to hip hop GAF. Been gone from there too long.
Why do all these rappers nowadays have a super feminine voice???

Yeah, fuzzy guard is only applicable in very specific situations, and so's the sidestep option select guard that they had in the tutorial.
The fuzzy in VF takes advantage of the startup difference between a throw and a mid, so if you're at -5 frame disadvantage or less (if I remember correctly) you can time it so that you crouch dash under the throw but stand up in time to block a 6P. It assumes that the opponent will do it at the earliest possible frame (very likely given the input buffer). A fuzzy will lose to a delayed throw, however if the opponent decides to delay stuff in case you fuzzy guard you basically negated their frame advantage.
It's very clever but I never found much use for it since I'm not familiar with a lot of the frame data in the game nor do I have enough of a read on opponents to know that they'll throw from frame advantage. If I do know they're going to throw I'll just press a button because attacks can't lose to throws in VF and just YOLO it up.

Hwoarang has a semi infinite? The rich get richer.
If it's the combo I'm thinking about, I think you can only do 3 or 4 loops and it'll scale the combo down very badly. Not very useful at all.
You guys need to hug this out.

GAF's favorite coming up to play on Art's stream now.
And lol @ Art saying "Can't spell staged without AGE"
That's one of the best FGC memes.
Edit: Wait damn, Jaxel's panel writer source code lost? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn =\

I agree with Arturo's point on how a run like Justin's 4 year Marvel 2 run will never happen again. He backtracked when he said it's not 100% because the internet but I disagree. It was a product of the times. Because of the internet and the growth of the FGC players can improve much faster and learn all the tech they want to. YouTube and twitch make it difficult to hide tech and it provides so much knowledge and tutorials online to help people improve.
Online warriors can become top tourney placers because they internet connections are good enough and they can translate it into local play. The competition is too tight for that ever to happen and no one will ever have a skill gap like that again. That streak was a one time thing and only happened because of the time they were in. If Marvel 2 came out post 2009 Justin would not be able to achieve a streak like that. Not even close.

Also you would expect any decent game with longevity to receive balance patches and new characters these days, which would make it increasingly hard to maintain a winning run.

Injustice maintaining those stream numbers for the most part a month+ in is pretty impressive. Glad the game is being received so well because the FGC needed some new shit IMO.

This is some great Marvel commentary right now lol.
"Just pot split right now"-Arturo "I need to get another drink" Sanchez
This is so godlike. Everyone popping off because Chris G just lost to another Zero. EMP Flux incoming, has best anchor dante, beat chris 5 straight games, Chris G loses his rent money and his downward spiral has started, Zero's pretty good, Sabin voted for Ron Paul, Triforce called it, GOOD NIGHT.

I have to admit I agree with triforce on this one. I just don't see the hype when it seems like such a guess to block all that and losing a character each time you guess wrong, and even when you do guess right you still are in a disadvantage where you have to guess more. I know people bring up Marvel 2 and how 1 touch can change the game but as ECT showed the best thing about that game was the amazing neutral that seemed to build a lot of tension. Even after getting hit, a reset was also usually needed and many times people get out and go back to playing the neutral, where most of the pressure is. I just feel that if offense is too good, it's just looks like basically all the hard parts of landing the first hit is over.

koogy was streaming a little bit of GG earlier too

Very different.
Also, believe in EMP's secret Thor tech. S-Kill sold EMP a bridge... To the future of the metagame!
EMPs secret tech also uses Missiles... lol!
If there are no Missiles/TACs then Zero with Jam Session is end game along with Vergil/Strider duos. Morrigan with Doom was Zero's biggest weakness and as shown in the past two tourneys a properly played Zero backed up by proper anti air assists can tackle Morrigan. Zero only needs one hit to steal the game from you.
End game is Zero point, Vergil somewhere down the order and a top assist (Missiles, Jam Session, Vajra). Morrigan, Magneto, Dorm give him some trouble but almost everyone else gets smoked by Zero. Zero eliminates the need to rely on TAC infinites so no need to put Doom on the squad.
Too bad this end game won't happen soon. Zero players will still drop combos or get zoned out or once their Zero dies they will collapse like they normally do. They will lose to Wolverines even though on paper Zero trounces him. They will get Foot Dived. They will get chipped by Soul Fists. They will get KEEP CALMED by Vergil. There aren't enough god tier players playing Zero at the moment so his tournament wins will still be scarce.

Yubiken is having a small AE tournament. A couple of good players there like Nishikin Blanka, Yossan Juri, KichikoujiKEN, and other players I don't recognize.
Edit: lol omg. Shinochan vs Nishikin was the most hilarious thing ever. Also there are way too many good players on this stream.

Unless I'm mistaken, they did do a digital release of GG on PSN, right? Was it a good port and is the online any good?

Not if he thinks Morrigan is a problem.
You would never see Morrigan hit top 4 at a major, that's for sure.

This thread moves too fast. I was going to quote someone from, like, 400 posts ago.

Since BaraBariBall, the indie game I'm working on, will be a tournament event at UFGT and on the stream, I thought I'd share some of the cool new features that will be on display.
We've updated the "how to play" section of our website with information on our CLASH system. Read it here.
If you don't want to read about it just check these images out.
Good luck to everyone. I'm flying out to Chicago tomorrow to be a tournament host. Hope you guys find some time to peak at the stream of BaraBariBall in between hype matches of the MvC3 finals.

I'd have to ask the original designer of the character for the main inspiration behind them. When I first saw the big guy in action, I related him to Zangief.

You play Elizabeth? I'm shocked you aren't using Yukiko, who is way closer to Dormammu.
