I wasnt there so I wouldnt know. I would hope so though.
oh i see.=/
oh, just launch 'em and do it
heās gonna have to contantly beat them over a longer course of time for someone to think he can match with them.
do you know what a gimmick team is? I doubt you do from this post. not saying gabeās team is or isnāt. but until he can hold his own for a long time (more than one time, like years, durr) if people donāt figure out the gimmicks (like many have here in chicago (though I do admit heās come up with more things)) it doesnāt mean much.
and top players know this.
weāll see how it goes. how good he is now, he doesnāt compare to them (not even close)
but if he plays them enough maybe heāll get there. so only the future can tell.
Well obviously, but how many ppl can just play a low tier team and beat top players with it even a few times and have no real tournament experience? I cant, you sure cant. I cant think of anyone who would because nobody uses low tier characters all the time and still able to win. Technically he should lose all the time because of the characters he uses.
Oh and theirs really only 1 person in chicago who figured out his team, and its George. Hes the only person here that can beat him almost consistently.
i hav stuck with Omega and anakaris since day one. I WILL BE PHAROAH.
I AM A NOOOB
what characters are bad matchups for Anakaris in your own personal opinions.
I would rate Sentinel as one, but he is pretty much a bad macthup for any one.
I would also think Doom.
ur thoughts
btw, who is this gabriel, and who does he use ( besides Anakaris).
His main teams are Anakaris/marrow/sonson, Anakaris/sonson/tron or Anakaris/storm/sonson
Anakaris/Son Son is obviously a good partnership. you should try that one. Iāll soon visit Australia to shoot some MVC2 matches with them this coming January.
i guess you DONāT know what a gimmick team is.
it was entirely lost on you, tsk tsk
You can think what you want, all I know is alot of good ppl know how good he is now. From what I heard, he was playing for like 3 or 4 hours straight against all the players there because they wanted to play him.
So what tournament are you goin to and ppl will be impressed over your mag/doom, or any characters for that matter?
its all in the idle handsā¦ sure he can win.
yuh-huh SURRRE you āknowā that.
you still didnāt get the point of a gimmick team, but I coulda guessed you wouldnāt understand.
LOL UR FUNNY
anyway.
i was doing this ghetto ass infinite with ana/tron. sorta like the cyc/im/storm curse infinite. but on the ground. and of course harder. pretty interesting. I also saw anthony/alvin (i donāt know what the fuck his name is) do a ghetto as one with sonson assist. but it worked.
I like anakaris, but also like im. maybe a good team could be anak/im/tron? or doom.
I donāt have the top-tier sonson assist.
oh and āunknownā
ana/son/tron is NOT low tier. they are mid if not higher. especially the son and tron assist. those are two top tier assists (some of the best in the game) so yeah get right since you like to do all this praising/brownnosing about stuff you donāt know. I figure itās pointless to talk to you about anything since you just donāt get anything, especially about this game.
you can say all you want. but until (like my last post stated) he gets a name for himself, instead of this one day thing you stated. no one cares. and only then will it be proven that itās not a gimmick team. i know none of them has faced or seen what anakaris can do, so itās not known whether itās a gimmick.
seems like it around here with how much he gets beaten (you even said it yourself, people around here who have wised-up to the possible gimmicks learned)
though he has come up with new things, whether they are still gimmicks or not are to be seen, but as I said I did continously beat him (with a good amount of life on all my characters) before.
I want to play him on good sticks sometime (many matches) see if i can get past his new tricks (i believe I can)
just like one of the best in the midwest and one of j-wongs friends came around here and was whomped by alvin/anthonyās anakaris team. him and i and other people who know more about the game know why. that person never faced it before. thatās the only reason he lost to alvin for however many times he did.
you did say he sucks right?
same case when i beat better players around here with low tier teams somtimes or like when someone whomps a top-tier team with team shoto. or when you pick low tiers who are specifically great against a certain top-tier. the great players never play these teams and donāt expect it. thatās how they lose sometimes (though some now actually know how to play these teams)
itās just unexpected and gimmicks.
I was impressed when I first saw gabriel play, but then it just died. itās like nothing new anymore and yeah. people just get impressed for the wrong reasons. sorta like you. like a teachers-pet sorta thing.
i could go into more detail about it, but maybe you can soak up this bit of knowledge 
this is also good for other anakaris players. anaās great comboes I believe have been set in place, but his gameplay has to excel way past the gimmicks that are seenā¦I donāt know if thatās gonna happen or is possible but weāll see.
hopefully āunknownā will consider this info instead of just going on about how much he loves gabe and changing the subject to me (reasoning fallacy too)
btw, any new vids? i still havenāt been able to get my vids to less mbāsā¦maybe thereās a different site that will accept them. or i can cut them up (do you know how?)
lol, well you didnt answer my question about what tournament your goin to with your impressive characters so I guess I know the answer to that.
Just because you have a gimmick team doesnt mean you automatically win, you have to have good defense plus alot of other knowledge. Could you have played a gimmick team and beat top players? dont think soā¦
plus, sonson is low, and tron is mid. How many trons u see in tournaments? 1 or 2 if event that, how many sonsons? none.
Two Chicagoan marvel players I donāt think Iāve ever played, in casual or tourney. Sup with that?
And Gabe is good, with or without gimmicks, although they do help out. Dam mummy.
Youve played me at the hip a few times derek, own me though. 
The other guy you could too, so nothin to worry about there.
I have new vids but couldnāt upload them(damn my friend is busy with her girlfirend and he canāt give me the tourney vids of mine!!), and theyāre more interesting than my previous anak vids. One consistent is preventing storm doing the HAIL by mummy wrap and Sentās Sent Force and āhow to use your downward pyramid rushā thing. Maybe when I got to Australia this December, I can record some new again. :wgrin:
Well about the vids, can you just upload it to youtube? or the original movie file is very large like 100mb+?? Whatās the vid format(avi, mpeg, etc)?
I like using the pyramid rush in the start of a match, because unless its a storm, mags, or iron man starting first or some other high priority starter, they always block low and wait for you to attack so they can coutner you, and not expecting a overhead in the first 0.5 seconds of the mathc helps in the long run, you can do anythign after, launch, snap outā¦
I also noticed i was playing with my firend, and he used Iron Man Proton Canon, while I was in range, and jsut befroe he activated it, i threw out a curse ball, and as teh canon killed Anakaris, the puff ball went right through the beam and hit IM. The puff ball can only be cancelled I think if it hits the actual cannon, or maybe not, im not sure, but I know it did go though the beam. that puff ball goes through almost anything.
On a semi related note, Omega Redās Omega Strike also goes through almost anything, I hav kicked away a Spiral sword, kicked Juggy out of his head crush, hit Tron and not tarade hits with her drill attack, and yes, even TRADE hits with Sentinel Plasma Storm Super, and even goes through Hyper Grav and just hits Mags. His Carbonadium Smasher has pretty good priority, it even at one point just ācancelledā out with Chun-Liās giant ball super, and Omega just recovered.
Donāt do that(The initial pyramid rush) at all times unless you are sure the opponent doesnāt know anak can do that esp. against mags and storm since they can just j.lk, j.mk + AAA. Usually its being used for āsnapback > infinitesā only.
Also the Anak Puff Ball or the so-called āAnakaris Curseā(this is my username in other boards) has invincible properties against certain elements. Examples are:
- Lightning Storm
- Raimeiken
- Hail Storm
- Proton Cannon
- Magnetic Shockwave (Not sure though but It usually hits magneto)
Not sure though but almost all projectiles can cancel Anakarisā Curse. Any other weird power to be considered as elemental like (Sentsā HSF, Morrigan Soul Eraser, etc.) can cancel Anakarisā Curse.
If someone has the time to test all of the supers, then post it.
