The top 8 from Northwest Majors was pretty good.
Roll's theme was the number one reason why I wanted her in MvC3. That and her TvC version was pretty cool.
The TvC remix of the song was great. US version was ok. Not bad.

If I get top 8 at EVO you would never hear the end of it.

I don't quite understand why there is so much dislike for Xrd. To me, it seems like a pretty solid game. Sure it's a little slower than +R and has some other features that make it a little bit easier to grasp, but I have had a lot of fun playing it. Granted, I am a scrub and still working through the mission mode, but from my perspective it's very well done. So why all the hate?
As far as main sticks for current gen are concerned, I would like to get a Jasen's Customs Panzer case and fit it with a pad hack. It looks like the ultimate weapon for fighting games.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment and because a new Marvel game on mobile and new Marvel film came out; it's that time again...

This was pretty good, but the Beowulf, Parasoul and Eliza shenanigans completed it. MMDS is pretty good when he wants to beast. I forgot entirely about Fukua's overhead shadow nonsense and armored command grab. It is also amazing how fast her level 1 projectile super shoots and recovers. She is definitely not to be underestimated. No one can hit confirm from midstage as easily as her if she has a bar for BFF super.

Before I go to sleep, any PC players wanna hit up some USFIV? Or nah
whats your steam id
I see. Having that tool available from farther ranges is nice, but I feel like the startup on it is too long to be truly good. It is nice she can follow behind it like a sonic boom though. Yeah, I think Linne's mobility more than makes up for her lack of long range tools.
I'd be down for a weekend lobby. I'd personally prefer Sunday over Saturday, but I'm good for whatever is best for the most people.
Nanase exists to slowly eat away at one's psyche with her theme.
Smaller roster that isn't super popular, hired Nickelback to work on the soundtrack, added YRC, brought back #R Eddie, etc.
It's not a bad game really, but it has "ASW 1st iteration" all over it. The fact it was hyped up as Gods Gift and it didn't deliver to people expecting that didn't help.
Also the dislike right now is really over the soundtrack lol which isn't bad /at all/, just has a lot to live up to.
Yeah, Nanase fireballs are only effective in very few matchups. Seth, Akatsuki, Hyde, Chaos, and maybe one more or so. Every other matchup, you're not allowed to throw a fireball, or you're forced to throw one only at full screen. Throwing one at fullscreen means you basically surrendered in the GRD war. If A fireball didn't disappear so soon, it'd help her a tiny bit.
I like this character so much, but she falls in the category with Byakuya, Seth, Akatsuki, and Chaos where you're just going to run into that really bad matchup in tourney that shuts you down no matter what.
It's not that whack, people just dunno. Hyde is a low tier and he got 2nd at KSB. Just don't pick Akatsuki/Chaos, they suck, and Gord is S+ tier and dumb. Everything else is fine.
They have mentioned interest about doing a sequel in the future, but nothing else with this version.
I feel like UNIEL is one of the few games where character balance is apparent at all levels.
It's not that bad. I'd say 4 characters have it really rough against a portion of the cast. 5 if you want to include Byakuya (but he's fine imo, just sucks against Wald and Gord).
It's sort of like SF4 where the game can be really matchup heavy for the weaker characters. Characters like Dhalsim can do decently well, but you sometimes need to make magic happen against Yun and Rolento.
I don't think UNIEL's an unbalanced mess or anything like that.

Looks like there was drama between the marvel and ultra crowd at ksb.

A lot of the JP ultra players were tweeting about the hate Ultra was receiving and Abegen shed some light on it. I think the organizers also had pressure to feature Ultra as Ayano was there in person. Not sure how they could have handled the situation better.

In the year 20XX, SF is the only main stage game, everything else is unstreamed side events.

ewwww. I think the game's good. It may not have been the best guilty gear that they couldve made, but I think they did a good job.

Well I finally got around to buying UNIEL today as I found a $15 gamestop coupon I had (Only took me 8 months). I've had my eye on Merkava and Waldstein following development of the game into it's arcade release. Does anyone have any recommendations on playing with them/top players I should take note of? Hope to get some time in with the game this weekend.
That sucks, looks like we missed a lot of good shit.
Zissou wanna shed some light on this? I hope these Japanese players make it out to EVO though, they seem passionate about the game.
It probably only worked because the Japanese marvel scene isn't as developed as the US one and so couldn't be countered as easily.
64 man bracket put front and center over a 200+ man bracket? really?
geez what a joke
i missed out on RF's morridoom losing to spiderman and tron somehow and point shuma doin' work due to that small of a usf4 tournament (that i ignored for hnk)??

According to Abegen:
-No room for casuals
-Only top 3 was on stage and on projector; not streamed at all?
-2/3 while Ultra was 3/5 for top 8 only
Did Ultra have room for casuals? If Ultra didn't, then they can't claim favoritism towards Ultra. You have to blame the TOs for taking on Ultra and that being the reason why Marvel didn't have room for casual stations. If there were casual set ups for Ultra, but not Marvel then that sucks.
Not sure why Marvel couldn't be streamed. I'm sure Marvel was supposed to be streamed by Gods Garden and all the games were supposed to have their individual stream. I don't think they can claim favoritism for Ultra. On the other hand, Marvel should have had more of their matches on the projector because there were more marvel heads there.
Ultra being 3/5 for top 8 didn't turn out to be that big of a deal. They didn't stream 3 of the 11 matches, and only 2 of the matches went to 5 games. 3 matches were 3-0 and the other 3 were 3-1s. So if they had went with a 2/3 top 8 they only would have saved about 10 minutes.
We need more info.

Top game privilege. Zhi bragged about it all stream last night
Oh yeah, you're right.
I feel like I am in bizarro land where Marvel is pulling in 200 entrants in Japan in the year 2015 and that there are complaints that it got unfair treatment compared to SF...
So many wuts in this story.
In any case the crazy results make sense if it was 2/3 all the way through.

S/O's to Dahbomb for carrying me in Hearthstone
you the real MVP

The reset game in SG seems a bit unfair, since you can get reset from multiple points, and plenty of 3+ way mixups that you're likely not going to be able to block on the first attempt. Easy to not get a real chance to play

Yeah it's usually marvel getting preferential treatment over other fighting games despite lackluster entrants. Silly Japan is backwards.
No worries. I'm sure Evo will make up for it.
Marvel got sidelined even though it's ostensibly the main game of KVO in terms of terms of numbers of players and in terms of focus (having both the team tournament AND singles). The venue for the singles tournament was the same as last year so the difference was pretty striking- last year had way more time and set-ups for casuals and this year had essentially none. Last year marvel was being projecting the big screen with house mic commentary and it was easy to see from everywhere so when you weren't playing tourney matches/casuals, you could watch. This year, the main screen was SF the entire time and to watch marvel you had to crowd around monitors and crane your neck in order to watch any matches at all (before top 3). Despite that, tons of marvel people crammed into the area just to see and cheer for the remaining players once pools were over and there was tons of excellent stuff- a high level point Strider player, a ridiculous point Shuma player, etc., and while we were going nuts, at best, you can hope for phone cam footage. It's pretty obvious they got the offer to be part of the pro tour, said 'fuck it' and threw everybody else under the bus.

I have a ton of fun playing it. All the "hate" on the last couple pages was just people being disappointed with the soundtrack, which does its job as background music but fails to rock the same way UNIEL's and KOF13's does, for example.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. Delete pls.
capcom cup's lineup got announced near the end of february too, meaning that it was pretty much a last minute addition
something something e-sports
KVO is a marvel tourney first and foremost. It's the biggest one in Japan and there were qualifiers in Sapporo, Okinawa, etc. as well as online tourneys throughout the year to get seeded and such. People traveled from all over the place to attend. The thing that sucks is it's the biggest gathering of the best marvel talent Japan has and nobody could play casuals with anybody. Street fighter players here have access high level comp whenever they want- there's THE Osaka arcade from SF like a 5 min walk away from the KVO venue for fuck's sake.
It's Clockw0rk's birthday? Happy bday, yada yada yada. Now where that combo video?
That's terrible to hear.
You know they never delete these.

Someone explain this to me pls
Say an attack is +4 on hit, I use a 3f normal to combo afterwards and it's a 1f link right? I use a 4f normal that also combos and it's still a.. 1f link?
Or is the 3f normal = a 2f link?
