[The Lone Dragon]

Marvel tourney overload:
NWM top 8- https://twitch.tv/teamkhaos
TFC top 8- https://twitch.tv/bifuteki

 

[Salty Rice]

Skill gap between rank 14 and 13 is so huge. Never seen something like that before haha.

So true. Reached Rank 13 and was like "time to retire" haha

 

[enzo_gt]

This Punk/Fortrest match is cataclysmic.

Happy birthdays and second characters getting blown up everywhere, with counter switches on counter switches.

EDIT: Legitimately one of the nuttiest matches I've seen. Hammers everywhere. So many shifts of momentum.

Dat soul whip during million dollars.

 

[JayEH]

Don't teabag kids.

 

[enzo_gt]

This Hawkeye/Gamora is fucking DISGUSTING

 

[Dahbomb]

Them poison stacks are hilarious.

I wonder how much you can optimize this with a character like Dante.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

The gap in play between the winners side and losers side is astronomical.

 

[Grimsen]

Ranked matches are all over the place for me.

I'm 12, and go back and forth with players of my rank, which is fine. But then I face rank 14 guys with Gamora/Dante/Dorm/Jedah that just wreck shit, and I don't know why they're not ranked higher.

 

[jett]

This Hawkeye play is just funny.

 

[enzo_gt]

someone's gotta hold the ice shot eventually

EDIT: LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Dahbomb]

LMAO reflect meta game!

Did someone clip that reflection battle with the ice arrow?

[Dahbomb]

Nice comeback with Gamora.

Cap looking hella stiff against that.

 

[Brobzoid]

peachcola's hawkeye/gamora made both of those characters look really fun to play

 

[PadWarrior]

Any tips for spidey mission 9?

Dude you've asked that like 5 times

I feel like Gamora's a real good character for beginners because you can mash and cool shit will just string together and happen.

 

[sinkfla87]

Yeah, that is the hard realization your brain wont let you make usually. If you are losing to someone using easy combo into easy hyper, you probably also don't really know how to play either.

We found in KI the people most upset about Combo Assist mode when we added it were struggling players who thought they were at a much higher skill level with the game than they were. The people who could benefit most of these additions were the ones who lashed out hardest against them.

Fascinating.

LMAO. That is interesting yet not at all surprising in the very least. Btw, I loved watching your Thor play at Ceotaku.

I thought my defense was pretty fucking good until I played CrackPebbles. He is my friend first but my mentor as well. Every time I think I've leveled up he's that Mister Miyagi showing me I'm still just an undisciplined adolescent thinking about things the wrong way lol. Still waiting on you to win some tourneys, Crack!

 

[smurfx]

think im gonna give haggar another try. now to see if he works better with gamora or ghost rider.

I haven't tried those air loop things I see people do with her, but it seems less easy than other characters BnB's.

Granted her guns are OP AF so if you just spam shots to confirm you will get in that ass.

 

[Dahbomb]

Punk da gawd looking hungry.

Her air loops IMO are easier than fly unfly cancels. I still struggle with that shit work the exception of iron Man and Nova haha.

 

[jayTOH]

Is UK Gamesplanet still the cheapest option for Steam in the US at around $42? can't hold out anymore must play endlessly

 

[Dahbomb]

The Shotgun overhead from Dante will never not be hype.

 

[enzo_gt]

Damn the colour chemistry is strong in this team, might have to steal TBH.

Think I saw $25.00 in the buy/sell forum.

 

[Primethius]

It was a mistake looking at twitch chat during this match.

[enzo_gt]

Damn PeachCola started strong but looks like K-Brad hit that mental guard break immediately. Respect to PeachCola though, super entertainin gplay.

I'm seeing people's use of tagging during supers and coordinated soul storm use evolve as of this tournament, though

 

[Dahbomb]

This is a pretty easy tournament for ChrisG so far.

Other players love to choke massively.

 

[JayEH]

Light em up
Take a ride
Get lost
Arc shot
Taste the god slayer

Gamora sounds so hype.

 

[CrackPebbles]

Peachcola made me want to try out Hawkeye. Great play from her I really enjoyed it!

 

[SixMachine]

This Dante match

 

[Dahbomb]

Dante players like Dante so much they always play him with Soul stone.

This Dante match

S tier reference.

 

[JayEH]

|OT2| Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series is seeming very appropriate.

 

[enzo_gt]

Capcom needs to donate some of Dante's tools to other characters, goddamn

 

[JayEH]

That million dollars set up is so cheap.

 

[Dahbomb]

Nevah.

When other characters get games as swag as DMC games, then they can get the tools. Right now only Gene has as many tools or more than Dante so you guys better hope they put in Gene.

Until then... Dante has the kitchen sink on lock.


Zero and Strider have a cool kit though. Monster Hunter looks nice too.

 

[Primethius]

every time

Can't help it on tablet cause it loves to show me that thing front and center on opening a stream.

Does Dante have the best looking moveset in any FG? Why yes, yes he does.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Some dubious decision making from K-Brad.

 

[HardRojo]

Unpopular opinion perhaps, but I wish you couldn't switch if your super is blocked, switching on hit and block with normals and specials is fine, but being able to switch when your super is blocked is kind of broken for some characters.

Probably but you kinda need some function to replace DHCs from previous VS games.

You can probably make it so that you can only tag supers during their recovery. That way you don't get 20 mix ups during one super. You can still do some set ups, DHCs, tag stuff with it but it will definitely kill some of the synergy in the game.

Stuff like that Cola Hawkeye stuff with Gamora wouldn't work with this system. And that feels bad.

That's probably a better solution, but I'd add the cost of one bar to switch during the recovery of your blocked super. If your super hit then it's fair game and you can switch for free whenever you want (it all will depend on how the meta changes in the coming months too, but for the time being, I firmly believe being able to switch during your blocked super shouldn't be a thing).

Edit: Whats the Hawkeye/Gamora stuff? Still fairly new to the game as I haven't been watching much tournament play and only got it on Wednesday.

 

[Dahbomb]

During Gamora's super, Hawkeye does a bunch of arrows including Poison application which does quite a bit of damage.

ChrisG squeaked it out in the end. His Iron Man looks kinda stiff to be honest, he essentially won because he choked the least.

 

[JayEH]

Iron man won a major nice.
