Sanford's infamous blow up on stream
And then he went on to take himself straight up through the ranks in EVO is the crazy thing. I thought he was ready to quit marvel after this.

I love this video. Sanford's bullet point breakdown is HILARIOUS.shaowebb said:I'm up for getting myself exposed at MVC3.

Women are picking up this game and beating men. This is how bad this game is.
He was just salty about losing, I'm sure he LOVES it now.

Wesker - Strong cross-ups using teleport + beam assist/haggar/tron fire. Haggar/Tron also make opponents afraid to press buttons, leave them vulnerable to command throw set-ups. Can also hit confirm off of hard knockdowns.
Magneto - Fast high-low mix by himself, improved even more by drones. Can also quickly dash overtop of you for a cross-up, and can easily hit-confirm anti air jab into combos. Fast tri-dash makes his pressure relentless.
Dante - Strong cross-ups using teleport + beam/haggar/tron fire. Large hitboxes on his normals allow easy cross-ups, and he can also combo off of hard knockdowns. Also has the Hammer for strong priority as an anti-air against incoming flying characters.
Wolverine - Strong cross-ups using berserker slash + akuma assist. Can also fake cross you up using the same set-up. Can convert air throws and ground throws into a full BnBs. Berserker Charge makes his pressure relatively safe. Divekick has insane priority, ground bounces and is relatively safe. Has one of the best mix-ups in the game on an incoming character by himself, and with an assist, even harder to block.
Taskmaster doesn't have a fast air dash or teleport, meaning his cross-up options are limited. I don't think he can easily convert an instant overhead into a combo. (not sure if he has one against most of the cast). His high low mix up isn't great, as I stated before. He has no command throw to scare opponents, and even though he has throw into hyper, that doesn't build meter.

Honestly, I probably could have just crammed it all into A/B/C tiers. A lot of the mid and low tiers aren't that bad compared to the high tier characters.
But Dormammu is high tier!
I actually did have a beard at EVO. I shaved it off before finals though.

I would say in high level play, Taskmaster is probably more of a defensive character. His arrows can whittle away your health quickly enough that you'll want to try to outzone him (difficult) or rush him down. When you finally close on him, his counterhit options come in to play. His standing/jumping C and Shield Skills attacks have a lot of reach and priority for reacting to your opponent's attacks and open them up for a full combo.
I've had a lot of success with offensive Taskmaster through advancing with jumping C, but I think that's because most of my opponents are not particularly skilled defensively. I usually just spam it and it works out for a Shield Skills hit after they're opened up by the jumping overhead, but I really need to work on transitioning to a crouching L for a safe continuation.
I feel like my Dante/Taskmaster/Sentinel team tends to emphasize this kind of play, since they can throw out a ton of spam to force the opponent to close the gap, then punish their attempts with various defensive options.

Like I said, I don't have a problem with placing Taskmaster high in tier lists because his defensive options are great and his damage output is good. But all of the S-Tier are basically good rushdown characters with great options, which Taskmaster is not. Great defensive keep away character, but a terrible rushdown character.

My Gods, Shaowebb. I think I know what your problem is. My cousin had a similar issue with me and it was resolved by plugging his 360 into his modem a few days ago.
We had huge issues running games and even connecting to each others parties. Once he got rid of his router and plugged directly to his modem his connection went gold and our games are a five on the quality scale.
Who is your ISP? What speeds have you measured? Are you using a router?

One touch and that bastard can kill you ded. He sure has better rushdown options than most of the other A tier peeps with the exception of C.Viper and Spencer.Ultimoo said:

I lived in the same area as Shaowebb and I'm pretty sure I had the same ISP (Comcast). Their network is awful all around but he shouldn't be having issues connecting to anyone.SolarPowered said:

Told you I'd get exposed.
I am plugged into my router and it does that every time for me. Not even joking.
At least this time when we tried to match up it eventually worked under that other account and I could finally be bodied by your sentinel. My lack of practice time shows like crazy from all the dropped combos. I dont think I completed a single one and I never even began most of them after hit confirms on lows. Especially the other random shit where I would pop the wrong hyper or miss my low to the ground hard drive. I use it like low to the ground air shinko to catch people moving in.
All that means shit though when you cant keep a combo going for anything or spot your opportunities. Shows that the only person I've been using for the past few days is Spencer.
I can't wait till I graduate and can spend all my free time locked in the lab practicing.
Good games.

Yup. Comcast, connection speed is ASS apparently since they dropped my package on internet only to 1/7th of what it was before to try and force $20 more outta me to get their cable tv/internet bundle deal for higher speeds, and DMZ is already configured. My buddy Bill set that up for me.

This game is a piece of fucking shit for matchmaking. Fuck Capcom for their piece of shit balancing and their piece of shit matchmaking options.
This shit is embarrassing.

Ever since I renewed my Gold subscription a month or so ago I've rarely ever had disconnect errors. Which is weird, because the exact opposite was the case several months ago.
And if everything on your end looks in order but you're getting bad numbers from any of the above, don't hesitate to call in and demand a house visit. Some of the wiring on my street would literally start falling apart after heavy rains, which would cause the signal to my modem to deteriorate to borderline unusable levels. There was nothing I could do but call customer support. The call center shmucks are always a pain to deal with, but the tech guys that actually come out to do the work were helpful and on top of things more often than not.
The ISP I'm using in Alabama actually charges for house visits. So if their local infrastructure starts going to shit, I'M the one stuck with the bill. LOL
Do you know how to check your router and modem's status pages and the sort of ranges you should be getting on important values (bandwidth, receive power level, etc.)? You know how to use pathping/traceroute to see at what point in your connection where latency goes to shit?shaowebb said:

It is not that. I was trying to play with Shao and Thatcrazyguy, but the game wouldn't connect us. After asking for numerous invites from Shao and ThatcrazyguyI got nothing and then Tobe asked me to play. The game invites actually came through at that point, but I started playing with Tobe which was a shitty experience to say the least.Ultimoo said:
Something in the new patch that was added seems to make Phoenix in particular a fucking lag/stutter master. Any time she appears on the stage the game begins to lag like shit and it gets even worse when she goes DP.
It made playing against Tobe's Viscant team a maddening experience to say the least.

A friend of mine has been maining "Team Viscant" since literally day 1. Placed one win short of getting EVO points in two majors.
I texted him the moment EVO grand finals ended to call him a tier whore.

Yeah, card fucking and piece of shit netcode is really getting to me right now.
This shit has done more to discourage my friends from playing fighters than anything else in this entire generation. SF3 and Skullgirls can't come soon enough...

The only thing that is probably worse is KOFVII. I still fucking laugh at the fact that there were people in this very thread who defended the lack of a spectator mode LOL.Degen said:

You should really check your router. It is the most likely culprit.LakeEarth said:
It would not be so unbearable if it weren't for the lag. Trying to take out a dude with 1.1 million health with lag is pretty hard when he simple ass combos, an OTG move and he can be anywhere in an instant.Sixfortyfive said:

idk what happened with the connection xbox was on dmz, wifi was disabled and normally its a lot better but yeah pretty shitty experienceSolarPowered said:
didnt know that about the new patch i was mad about that dp was always slow and shit. i just hope that the new netcode is decent atleast.

Your Mags/Wolvie/Sent team was much easier to deal with since there was no lag. I have no idea how I still manage to match up so well under such shitty conditions.Tobe1 said:

Hey Solar, sorry for the mix-up earlier with the games. GG's for the few we played. That one happy birthday crushed my soul, haha.
Hey shaowebb, good game for those 10 games (I was playing Sent/Doom/Haggar). Sorry I quit out. I went to start a new one to invite Solar, then he was offline, then you were, hehe.
It's all funky. Yea, I couldn't join you those first times you sent me those invites.
I couldn't connect with Solar before, then I connect direct to my modem, so everything is all good.

Viper's overhead....doesn't even look like an overhead. Wtf. o___0.
Edit: well..the dash down L.
I shouldn't be suprised, considering how odd Magnus' jump in L looks.
edit edit: This is really good stuff...
triple edit: Some of this is really broken. lmfao
