I think people are giving Champ too much respect.

Fanatiq: "ComboFiend has the potential to go through all eight. Knives has the potential to go through all eight. Infrit will probably go through... at least one."

Well that's what I kinda thought too, then I saw him play post-EVO. I honestly think he's on another level now.

All these players have solid chances of beating Fchamp. SoCal is the clear favorite.
Sixfortyfive
He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.

I'm not sure if that's much of a factor for Y2J because he might be the most defensive Wolverine in history.

You should of won for GAF!
True but that's probably more match up dependent. He HAS to go in and apply constant pressure for it to work.
LMAO @ that pic.
I think players were staying low for awhile during the summer to improve and enjoy themselves. This 8v8 will be proof if Champ is truly in another level or not.

Quick! Start a rumor that the Fanatiq vs. Infrit MM is happening!
It's not going to prove anything since it's 2/3 single double elimination and not all the best players are present here.
If FChamp wins Seasons Beating convincingly then he is on another level. He is already the undisputed world champion of Marvel and even a few tournament/event losses wouldn't take away from this.

I just wanna see an East Coast vs West Coast exhibition at Seasons Beatings. Make it happen SB crew.

Exactly all pre EVO. This is POST EVO. I watched almost all of that.... =)
Fanatiq just said NorCal has no wolverine/spencer. They have one that is at FGTV house all the freaking time in Billy XO.

There's maybe like, two Wolverines that I can think of. Mine and Corimon? But Mine doesn't really play Wolverine anymore I think. PR Balrog, but he's not NorCal enough yet.

To be honest from what I've seen out of Mine's Wolv his mixup is scarier than Ytwojay. I think ytwojay is probably the better wolverine player in general since he main him and Mine just play him on the side.
Billy's and Pr Balrog is just a little nuttier than YtwoJay. I don't think NorCal really need to *adjust* to YtwoJay.

Damn team solcal has some killers in there
I honestly think Champ is the
best in the world. His mental game is far too fucking strong, and I think people are not ready for that element. The mindgames and the playstyle adaptation is something that nobody on Team SoCal has, or even on that level. Combofiend is stubborn, Fanatiq just isn't on that level, and Infrit has been repeatedly broken post-EVO by FChamp.
I do agree with Fanatiq, it will come down to whoever can beat Champ, but it will be close. I can't call it confidently either way, but the safe option is NorCal because of Champ.

This is what I've been hoping for but it doesn't seem likely with 3 (maybe 4?) other exhibitions planned.

i think poeple are sleeping on clockwork,

His performance is too spotty to bet on IMO. No doubt he's amazing, but still. Same goes with Dickwin.

Clockwork is sleeping on Clockwork.
Richard Nguyen was in the original roster but not picked due to general absence from the scene. I can respect the exclusion then.

So many Striders in NorCal. I still don't think that Strider+Vergil is THAT strong, but it's still so damn dirty.

Consistently underperforms.

Looks like Spooky is continuing the King of Poverty stream (http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky)
Clock seems kind of like how yipes was up until recently- pulls off godlike stuff in longer sets but doesn't perform as consistently in shorter format stuff. I do think he has the potential to take out anybody from norcal, however. He's also still one of the only legitimate strider players too, so I'll be rooting for him.

Floe will stream eventually http://www.twitch.tv/eg_floe
How much do you like the Champ who's consistently burned through gauntlets of SoCal and NorCal players and has perhaps the most matchup experience of anyone in UMvC3?
Wasn't Norcal shut out by Bala, Reynald, and the other Socal players when they went to TRB?

I'm pretty torn. Clockwork is probably my favorite player, but I love NorCal too much. D:

After Shock is looking pretty good. I want to see it come down to Combo Fiend VS F Champ. Or maybe an Evo runback!

Floe is live.

Looks like it's a skin/remix of IWBTG w/ fighting game pros folded into the gameplay.

Norcal has two top 8 evo placers and the current evo champion.
This isn't going to be free for either side.

If you count the last two years. I wouldn't count X-Ray as one since vanilla and UMVC3 is different.

On a tournament format, sure.
In a 8v8 format, though? Even if his run is flawless, NorCal can still lose.
Huh? The only dude from NorCal that made it to top 8 was Champ.
This. Also, no one remembers last year's EVO anymore, haha.
Muppet Adventures? I had no idea a game like this existed.

It's going to be close but SoCal has the edge.
