IMO a stick is a lot more important for Marvel than for Street Fighter.

You play Zero and Ammy? Who's your third? Got any tips about that pairing you'd like to share?

The main way I use Ammy to help Zero is using her ice assist while Zero goes for a mixup. I've also experimented a little with calling Ammy's assist during a Zero ground chain for extra hits, but haven't really used that much online yet. That and DHCing Rekkoha into Okami Shuffle... that's about all I do with that pair so far.

I don't know, in Street Fighter I'd actually need use 6 buttons actively while Marvel I only need 4 buttons, because assists don't have a strict timing and aren't used as much. I'm rocking Zero/Ammy/Sentinel which is a very glass team.

I mainly use the Sentinel drones for mix-ups because they stay on screen later and the Ammy assist comes out pretty slow sometimes. Marn was talking about for Zero, when you jump over someone, he says instead of using command dash M to try to cross him up, you can instead fake using the command dash M and use command dash L and go for a low m. Most people won't expect you to immediately go back down and it's a pretty good tactic for zero. To be effective with Zero you need to use his command dashes well and keep a constant charge on buster. :p

Well drones kinda suck against someone when they super jump all over the place, but once I get in, you're not getting out with tron. :D

I think it's a lot easier to develop combo muscle memory on a stick. Plus I don't have to do the whole damn combo with just my thumb, and then there's super jumping and constant PP dashing, which are a pain on pad.

Yeah that Marn video was really informative. I'm getting better with the command dashes, and I do the command dash L > c.M trick sometimes. Command dash H is also nice if you hit H on the way down and cross them up.

I'm starting to charge the buster more often now that I have Zero's basic bnb down pretty well, but I'm definitely not used to it yet. For now I'm using the noob method of always holding L, and just using M and H to start combos. I don't want to get into button switching yet, especially since I don't use the ground loop online yet.

I mostly play Ammy keepaway so far with the ice projectile and random Okami Shuffles. I haven't learned much else with her yet besides, you know, HHHHH.

Hey Max, Captivate 2011 was in Miami, not Hawaii. That was Captivate 2010 (and you even have the 2010 logo tile)

Just nitpicking. I really like your show though!

If I ever find a stick for cheap, I'll think about investing in one, but I'm pretty happy with my muscle memory on the pad right now.

The TE has quickly become my favorite game controller ever, now that it's modded the way I like. You can sometimes find them on sale for like half off.

Wut? One button dash is the most plainly obvious advantage the pad has in this game. Some old school MvC2 heads still get salty about it.

Zero buster combos are like the only thing I can think of that are hard to do on pad in this game. You don't have to mangle your hands doing crouch-tech option selects or kara throws in this game like you do in SF.

I guess I don't play Street Fighter at a high enough level where I really need the stick. Of course now that I have the stick, I'll use it. For me, Marvel is just really awkward on a pad.

It was probably a bigger deal in Marvel 2. With a normal button layout, there's no good way to do Storm's Lightning Attack with your thumb, for example.

Ok, I'm used to Marvel again. Felt so weird not playing Marvel for a week after I had just learned Dr.Doom and Mags' BnBs, almost had to relearn them. I think for once I'll go into the character forums and see what people made up for Magneto, maybe I can get some good ideas for resets and such. I need the notation for the hyper grav loop anyway.

Chris G seems unstoppable. When was the last tine he lost?
Click to expand...
He's definitely not unstoppable. NerdJosh won the last Guard Crush and 8-Bit. He didn't have to face Chris G in either though. Noel eliminated Chris at GC15 (not sure who beat him at 8-Bit).

MarlinPie knocked Chris G out? Damn.. Chris G's Ryu was like as stimulus package of hype right when you thought it was gonna run out.
