Yeah, Flash did an Thor tutorial when the game came out.
He hasn't said who he will play. He is looking at Fist, Rocket out of the new chars.
But he is keeping it secret who he will play.

NEC Predictions:
- Weskerfest
- Yipes and Combo grand finals, I have nothing to base Viscant's placement off of, but off of his top-of-the-class intellectual strats alone, probably high. Potentially grand finals.
- Grown men more prevalent than most percieved, Ultimoo suffers heart attack
- (even) More Vipers
- No Vergil in top 4.
- Mike Loss has surprisingly decent performance, then tapers it off suddenly. If he's playing, of course.
Did Flash say he's going to NEC?

Someone mentioned wavedashing earlier in this thread...
In Vanilla, it was faster to cancel your dash with another dash. I wasn't able to do it in my short time playing Ultimate, so I assumed my execution just sucks instead of them taking that out. Is it still in, so that my gaming integrity will be preserved but some small depth of the game is lost?

Vergil has a chance in top 4 if Flocker is using his Zero/Vergil team.
Also Yipes plays Vergil too on point and he won CC Open with it. I don't expect him to play Vergil at NEC but he might pull it out as a surprise or something.
Yipes and Combofiend are hella strong going into the tournament. They have been going at the game like crazy. I also like ChrisG, Justin Wong, MarlinPie and MastaCJ for the tournament.
Do we actually have a player list for NEC?
Wave dashing and plink dashing are still in. Some characters who didn't have it before now have it like Ryu and Chris. You probably need to check it with particular characters.

Plink dashing is the one where you Cancel H with L+M right? Never was sure of the name of it.
Edit: Also on someone retiring I'll say Gootecks if retiring means not playing in tournaments anymore.

Moral of the story: Do not get hit.
That's one scary reset.
I'm probably the only one who doesn't know and I know Doom got a LOT of buffs, but doesn't he still have problems opening up people? As in, weak mixups? I'm thinking about adding Doom or Spencer to my team, but that's the only problem about Doom that I see (same prob as Captain America).

Another bet for NEC: One poor fool will gamble with Wright. And lose.
Hm thanks. I forgot to mention I put a crap ton of time in MvC2 for the dreamcast back in the day too. I really want to order it but don't want to constantly get beaten onrine and angry at myself.
Ahh forget it I'll do it.
Thor's vertical range on his air command grab is so buffed now, I was hitting that all day yesterday with the buddies. That new reset is STOLEN... by me!
Also his Mighty Punish is hella buffed too... better that some LVL3 grab hypers. It would be criminal if this character gets under played now but I say that for a lot of characters.

Fersis just making it up I think
Is this some sort of ploy to get him to stream KOF?

I tried him out a bit, but i just can't seem to get anything going with him.

does he even need one? that team is really good.
Various teams comprising of Wesker, Magneto, Nova, Dante and Vergil.
Saw some of Ryan Hunter's Dr Strange play and definitely some solid stuff on display. He appears to have the Impact Palm loops down along with various set ups. Plus he has Hawkeye on his team mean 1 frame hyper punishes all day. Dorm on anchor in case shits go awry.

It'll never happen. Spooky is too Hollywood. Dat poverty sounds more like Min/Art stream territory.
I don't think so, but people were hinting that he may have changed his team.
Exposed.

You will be proven wrong, my good sir.
Gladly.
There's no such thing as pink dashing. Plinking is a SF4-only thing, its not in any other game. You can cancel a dash into a normal and then kara-cancel the normal into a dash in mvc3, it should be called a kara wave dash or something like that.
edit: gg autocorrect, pink = plink
Yeah it's kara dash cancelling, the plink dashing name was coined incorrectly by JChen and it sort of stuck.
Oh and some solid Strange, Hulk, MODOK and Super Skrull play on Mix Up Mondays Option Select archive.

pushblock. that's pretty much thor's weakness. he can't really do anything about someone who can pushblock (unless of course if paired up with the right assist). he's just way too slow, although the shortened charge buffs help. as well as the increased range on his throw.

i'd consider it more of a plink. dashing input is 2 attack buttons simultaneously. if it was h, l+m it'd be like a kara, but plink dashing is h, m, l. also, i think clakey d was the one who came up with it.
on the subject of wave dashing, i think forward+dash, downforward, forward+dash > dash, down, dash. for the fact that you can dash cancel into a throw, whereas if you used down its easier to get an accidental hadouken. whenever i see someone do walk-up throw in mvc3 it baffles me, when they can do a wave dash cancel throw.
He's way better, but I disagree with this "S-tier" ranking people give him. He's not as mobile as some characters, has a sucky chip game, and is a bit stubby in the normals department.
I'm sure Clockwork will make him look S-tier this weekend though.
I LOVE Thor so so so much.
The super armor they added to some of the moves, and the ultra throw are so awesome. I love his tri jump and mighty spark. I just love him so much. He dishes out a TON, even if its just a scrub (me) triangle jump L -> crouch L -> Launch -> M -> M -> Might Hurricane does massive damage.

tell that to dios x, which was a big part of his game back in vanilla.
My two biggest problems in this game are pushblocking effectively and freaking out in the face of relentless offense. If I get cornered, it's often over for me if the opponent doesn't want space themselves. My game under pressure is weak.

Don't you play Iron Fist?
I played a good Iron Fist and he was so scary. Could get in though most of the time I was trying to fly away with Thor. I'm sure it was a challenge for him, but I think I felt more afraid than he was of getting zoned out.

Plinking isn't pushing buttons quickly. Its a SF4-only thing. We don't call roll cancels "plink specials" or kara-throws "plink throws." Also you don't need to press forward to wave dash, you shouldn't be getting accidental qcf moves.
It's fun because you're in the corner and then you relaunch them out of the corner onto the other side of the screen.
My B&B right now (made it up the first hour of playing Ultimate and stuck with it since) is ground magic series, j. h xx light shield slash, land, j. h, j. s, OTG l. shield slash, dash, launch, j. m, j. h, j. s, land, dash, OTG l. shield slash xx hyper charging star. Only does a little over 700k, but is hella easy and carries like 80% of the screen.
Well that's more a hidden missile assist for lockdown, with Sentinel doing the real chip damage. None of Doom's hypers does much chip (at a non-punishable distance), nor does normal finger lasers, he can't chip you air-to-air because everything that chips goes straight down. Plasma beam does a good amount, but it is avoidable on reaction.
EDIT - I admit I've never analyzed Dios X game beyond entertainment

you don't need to, but going from toward to downforward is a lot easier than neutral to downforward. i'm saying you'll get accidental qcf if you wave dash cancel into throw if you use down to wavedash. wave dashing using down is the easiest way to wave dash, but its less versatile because you can't wave dash cancel throw as easy, and you can't wave dash backwards with it.
it may not be exactly like sf4 plinking, but its similar. the game registers h,m, and m,l as dashes, even when the technically correct inputs should be m+h or l+h. a kara throw would be an attack cancelled into a throw. in the example of h, m, the heavy attack is not cancelled into the medium attack, it turns into a brand new move of a dash. using (back/forward +) h, m is also somewhat of an option select because if you're in close range, you'll get a throw instead of a dash. so, i'm not sure if calling h, m a kara is the best thing.
Yeah. My offensive game isn't that great though. With Iron Fist you pretty much have to be going in all the time or else your doing it wrong. If IF gets cornered or begins playing defensive, he gets opened up. Also, pushing buttons doesn't help.

you can use it to wave dash into throw, and you can use downback to wave dash backwards. also, it keeps the inputs more similar with characters that wave dash in the air, which is generally downforward/upforward.
also, like i said earlier, if you hold towards while using h,m to dash, you can get an optionselect throw.
All the fuckery you can do in XF and this is what wows you? Lol
Considering that Rapid Slash is a cross up move that is fairly difficult to block in certain portions of the screen, becomes much faster on start up in LVL3XF and DT plus becomes much harder to punish... if you are able to combo off of a move like that raw then that is pretty godlike.
Also it's exciting because this is like the first Vergil X factor gimmick to be found.

I have also learned to never x-factor while blocking ultimate wesker and/or ultimate vergil.

Okay, I attempted to order a replacement copy this morning after the last fiasco. Hopefully, I should have a copy on PS3 soon and be "Captain FREE" on the stream in the near future. What else am I going to do with my winter vacation?
