I like how spooky just suddenly wakes up and immediately starts talking.
Thor was actually pretty bad in Vanilla MVC3 but got all buffs in UMVC3. Still no one really cared for him. The players who played him used him on terribly optimized Thor teams (Abegen and RoyalFlush). Plus Thor is notorious for getting rushed down bu Wolverine and Vergil type characters so the meta game used to not favor.
Now the meta game has shifted to super jump flight characters who can zone (Morrigan, Zero, Magneto). This favors Thor greatly as he fights almost exclusively in the air, he is weak on the ground. He still has to worry about Dark Vergil but so does every other character so that is not unique weakness for him. His damage was already high but his other main weakness was that he got nothing from his air throw which meant that Thor players need to make hard reads with his command throw.
In addition, the advent of plink dashing has made Thor much better mobility wise. Thor with Bolts is insanely good, those 2 characters go really well together. Also Thor's Mighty Smash assist is a legit CC assist that can shutdown Dark Vergil and other in your face characters.
IMO Thor is considerably better than Haggar in the meta game. I have always maintained this. I still don't think Thor players are at that level but this guy is the closest to unlocking Thor's potential.

Yeah, he did something similar earlier to a different player.
Yes that was real.
Another character I think is pretty good but no one plays him to his potential... Deadpool. Well Rei-Chan from Japan plays that character really well, even won a big Japanese tournament there.

Would Twitch seriously ban a channel for someone saying lesbian?

well the people who had a personal vendetta against the FGC in twitch have left, so maybe we can get away with some crazyness
If someone is on a bad day, probably. But heck, it isn't Spooky posting these names, its the people themselves so "free speech" yada yada and all that crap. Besides, if we're able to joke about it lightly, then it shows people are comfortable with it. It isn't really taboo to talk about sexual preferences.

I didn't know there were people who had it out for FGC streams. It's good to know they're gone at least.

you know what i mean, not choking
He knows if he loses, Gamerbee or Justin will clean it up. No pressure, no floke.
what mm?
Are Yipes and Flocker there?
If not then its Justin's tournament to lose in Marvel.
He again has a shot at winning 3 games.
Edit: Checked the pools and no Flocker but Yipes is there along with Winrich.
Top 8 is going to look something like this:
Justin
RayRay
Flux
Yipes
Coach Steve
JRosa
Moons
Winrich
Aside from Justin and Yipes, no player in the bracket has won a US major before so we have a small possibility of a new major winner being crowned in the game.
