Damn, ChrisG showing how inept Morrigan is as an anchor on 8wayrun. That runaway Dormammu was very amusing. Also, him batting away two fireballs at once was one of the smoothest things I have ever seen.

OH GOD MARN HAS ZERO VERGIL THT'S THE OTHER TEAM I'M WORKING ON
OH GOD MARN HAS ZERO VERGIL THT'S THE OTHER TEAM I'M WORKING ON
Justin used that team last week when he claimed he was motivated.

Did he? Huh. Basically I'm just working on the Spencer/Magneto shell right now, but Vergil is a strong contender. I really wanna use Zero/Vergil/Magneto, but I dunno how comfortable with 2 new characters on a team.
First time seeing it as well and I have to say, it's such a JWong looking configuration. That being said, holy shit Marn leveled up his Vergil and he has a Strider as well.
When?

It's a show about a guy Gootecks fished out of a basement to ask stream questions to porn stars about fighting games. Dude.

Okay, but why do I care about what porn stars have to say about games?

Who is Justin's 3rd character? I'm assuming Wolverine. Seems like another point-heavy team ala the stuff PR Rog has been running, if so. Good luck to him. Learning a new character is a major time investment, even for a pro. There are so many character combos I'd like to try out but it just takes forever for me to get smooth with an unfamiliar playset.
Although, I did play a set with Wesker/Dante/Magneto tonight and was pleased to find out the little Magneto knowledge I have returned to me with little problem, despite the fact that I haven't played Magneto in a long time. I can do basic trijumps, and a flight loop. That stuff took me a long time to learn, too. But I didn't end up playing him much on point anyway, just wanted to switch out Strider and see how that felt. Disruptor with Wesker/Dante is pretty amazing. I ended the set with a perfect, and it just felt so right, not only because I didn't get touched but because I made all the right decisions to build enough meter and do a full Dante combo to land a level 3 at the end for the win.

You're not making a convincing argument.

Oh usually they just play 3s and call up people like Marn or Fanatiq but on the liveshow there's an odd number of porn stars for some reason.

Does the show really feature porn stars in every episode? Seems like a pretty desperate gimmick if so.

Every live episode so far has featured porn stars.
Sorry I'm lazy to look at them again, I'm in the hyperbolic time chamber myself right now.

I want to try and supe-up Bennet's Firebrand/Dormammu bnb. Right now he does Firebrand bnb, Dark Fire -> Stalking Flare, 1D1C, Flame Carpet + Demon Missile M, Dark Hole L, Chaotic Flame. Kills pretty much anything.
My thought was this, but it might have hsd problems and I'll have to tinker with it:
Firebrand bnb
Dark Fire
Stalking Flare
1D1C
Power of the Destructor twice while calling Hellfire H
Dark Matter, cancel into Power of the Destructor
s.S, sj.MMHS
3D0C
Dark Hole
Chaotic Flame
Dark Matter x PotD obviously won't work if I use Bon Voyage in Firebrand's combo. In such cases, I wonder if I could get just skip part of Firebrand's bnb to get less hsd, DHC early, and I'd be able to delay Dormammu's air series enough to get PotD, 3D0C off after the launch.
Right now I tend to Dark Fire, Stalking Flare, XFC, charge 1D2C, 1D2C, and that pretty much kills anyone below 1.1 million health and has a massive net gain on meter. Then I charge 2D1C, let it go, cancel into Stalking Flare, DHC into Luminous Body, and do Firebrand's unblockable while my opponent is blocking the Flare.
That might look like it costs 4 bars, but X-Factor 1D2C builds almost a whole bar by itself, and then 2D1C build another half of a bar. Plus I have Morrigan, so my meter generation is crazy enough that this doesn't even feel like it costs me something. I just need to hit people with Firebrand to make it all happen. I did this setup a few times today, but I kept messing it up. The unblockable is extra sensitive because my opponent is blocking the Flare immediately. I might just work on doing high/low setups with Firebrand as an alternative, which Bennet sometimes does to great success.
I also noticed that when THCing Firebrand/Morrigan, Finishing Shower lasts so long that I can get a full Firebrand unblockable charge that goes off right when the next character comes onto the screen. The next level of tech is about to be explored...

I like Doom, he's fun, he has style, and he can fly. All good qualities. He's also frustrating to learn, it seems. If you don't have the execution to do his loops, what are Doom's basic options? Something with foot dives, anyway?
Plus, if I pick a Cap/Morrigan/Doom team, I pick along the "A favorite and two strong charactes" tip. It's going to be a mindbender to find out good DHC combos with these guys, though. All good fun.
Wasn't Flocker running Zero/Vergil/Phoenix at UFGT? That is some scary shit right there.
Doom's standard loops are pretty easy to do, but the easiest variations are just j.m xx super in the air or cr.h xx 623pp on the ground, earlier in the combo, after doing say only one rep.
There aren't many good Doom combos that I know of that don't involve his loops. He's good at keep away if that's your thing but on anchor you're going to have to go in with him. Just try to learn his combos piece by piece. Once you figure out the timing for air dashes you're golden. His magic series combos are pretty good and tri-dashing close to otg after you hit his magic series isn't too hard.
LMMHS -> j.MM xx Beam xx Super is pretty good.
You can DHC from Charging star into Morrigan's shoryuken motion super to either of Dooms level 1's. You can also DHC from the missile supers into Doom's up super but it's a compelte waste of meter when used with Morrigan's air super.
Any of Morrigan's ground supers will DHC into Hyper Charging Star if performed close enough and HCS DHC's into any of Doom's level ones if you're close enough to the corner.

Any game is going to be hard when there is still an older group of players on it. The character designs are awesome and I'm sure you could find someone you like. ASW is apparently prepping an arcade update which means that you'll be on a sightly more even playing field when they release that(most likely for free if it isn't released on day 1 for XBL/PSN).
I've done a baaaaad thing. I just listed it for my fighters in general. The thought that it was a Mahvel specific question just flew right over my head. It did make me question why I don't have the PS3 version yet. I just don't see another disc update for the game at this point. I should just buy the PS3 version already...
A nice cologne is necessary imo. Two to three bottles is more than enough for any man.

I wish Dante was only allowed one OTG per combo string. Not one OTG move...just one OTG hit.
