I wouldn't. It's elimination, sooooo unless someone manages to take out FChamp then they should have it in the bag.

and hopefully KBeast is having one of those good days.

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."

I think people are giving Champ too much respect.

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

 

[biosnake20]

Team SoCal:

• 
  [*]ComboFiend
  [*]Infrit
  [*]Fanatiq
  [*]Cl0ckwork
  [*]Knives
• KillerKai
• Wentinel
• YTwoJay

All these players have solid chances of beating Fchamp. SoCal is the clear favorite.

 

[enzo_gt]

They do 1v1 2 out of 3, winner stays on the team but goes to the back of the line. I forgot the name of it, and James Chen just said it. D:

A plays A
B plays B
C plays C
D plays D

.... same set that they ran in vanilla MVC3 EC vs WC at EVO.

Wasaeda....

Thanks.

Ytwojay is okay in my book since he made it to top 8 at EVO, but lets be honest he got kind of lucky.

:<

It's a solid pick not only because Y2J is a consistent player but because of the Wolverine factor. Wolverine start of the round gives even Viper some trouble and of course Wolverine is a solid pick against Vergil too.

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!

 

[Dahbomb]

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.

 

[biosnake20]

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

 

[offcast]

Wentinel consistently beats Richard Nguyen at UCI events and dominated TRB up until Evo. He also was the person who put Chris G in losers at UFGT8.

Ytwojay is just the happiest guy alive.

Both of them are old school MVC2 heads as well

 

[WesternHeretic]

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.

 

[Tizoc]

Just a heads up to anyone getting TTT2: The game's install is 8 GB from what I've read online, does anyone know if it's mandatory?

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.

 

[Ragingnight]

Richard has been doing well now. Better than pre evo

[WesternHeretic]

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.

 

[Dahbomb]

James Chen over hyping Vergil for no real reason.

There are only 2 Vergil players on the Norcal team.

What makes Norcal Vergil different is the Strider pairing. I don't think it's the most optimum Vergil pairing but it destroys flyers and Zero teams.

 

[slightconfuse]

Damn team solcal has some killers in there

 

[enzo_gt]

I honestly think Champ is the

Spoiler

second

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.

 

[Dahbomb]

Someone in this world is better than FChamp?

 

[xCobalt]

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

Jesus

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.

 

[Ragingnight]

Everybody knows clockwork is working hard

[Dahbomb]

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.

 

[Karsticles]

Consistently underperforms.

 

[slightconfuse]

yea i know he has a day job but i think he might be the key , him and killerkai.

also im looking for the ryback drew grimy to wreck fools

 

[Chavelo]

SoCal will look so silly if they lose the 8v8.

I mean... three evo 2012 top 8 placers? Fanatiq and Knives? Are you for real? I like NorCal and all... but seriously?

KOF = Norcal
UMVC3 = SoCal

Any other opinions are just fanboys trying to root for their favorite player.

[Zissou]

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.

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?

 

[Stabby McSter]

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

 

[Oni Link 666]

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

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.
