AZ Thread: Lots of events! Read 1st posts for upcoming AZ tourneys/events

Hey guys I forgot that Annie’s grandma And Aunt coming to visit us from Florida on Wednesday for a week so this coming Friday is a scratch. Sorry I totally forgot so I guess Test Streaming will b on the next Friday. Oh well we have an extra week to figure more stuff out so we can make the stream GOLDEN. Hit me up on the cell or Facebook for any Additional info you wanna know and Please keep voting for the stream chanell name.

While I do not have a name suggestion for the stream yet, I would throw my two cents in saying keep anything character or game specific out of it… Even though we are in “Phoenix” I would drop that on perception.

Do as you will, of course, I would just go the “neutral” route as it gives you options later.

By the way… we have two or three MvC3 events coming up before the Ranbats and, perhaps, a little something extra as well. I will be interested to see how the MvC3 tournaments end up - what characters and teams end up triumphant.

Info coming soon, April will be busy.

Anyone know any good assist pairing for Viper? I think I am going to start focusing on her as my point character.

bah. mvc3 is heading down a dangerous path, quick. just when i couldnt hate sentinel any more than i could. now with this invincible tag counter strategy. good luck trying to mount an offense with your opponent having 2 meters and sentinel on the sidelines(or any other character with an invincible/semi-invincible super)

now this whole damage/hit stun scaling reset glitch. bleh. shit is not looking good for this game. Still having fun, but this game still got serious issues, and the issues are growing =(

I’ve been doing pretty good with Viper/Chun/Doom. chun kicks to keep pressure on when you do get in and Doom Missiles because they’re doom missiles.

i think it’s getting really interesting. sent is a beast but i think we’ll see more and more counter sent stuff in the upcoming big tourneys. it’s crazy how much info is pouring out for mvc3 compared to when mvc2 came out. the internet age owns.

Funny you should mention them. Those two came to my mind right off the bat for the same reasons. But I don’t think I am interested in Chun really. Doom Missiles, however, are always appealing.

al, i dont think you understand what i mean. i know how to deal with sentinel. hes beatable. but hes still really really powerful and this new discovery with tag counters makes him way more powerful. tag counter(aka alpha counter) is completely invincible til the opponent lands, which is good. problem is, they also left in the option of allowing you(the new character getting tagged in) to perform a super before landing. Sentinel Hard drive super is 100% invincible on frame 1 until he starts recovering. so if i mount an offense against a team with atleast 2 stocks and sentinel is on the bench, they can just easily tag counter into sentinel hard drive, blowing through everything. basically im fucked on running offense unless i just want to spam fast jabs only. you chain into a medium or something that has more frames, ggpo. heaven forbid you try to use an assist on rushdown. ggpo 2 characters. if you come from the air on offense, its a free super. atleast if you attack on ground, you can waste an XF just to avoid it. or if you have a super thats invincible enough to avoid Hard drive super.

this is just one scenario mind you. but it just made that gaffot robot stronger =)

I think canceling seismo into seismo is going to break my arm off.

Hey if you guys ever have any questions about streaming and stuff, shoot me a PM, I’ll be glad to answer/help as much as I can.

I’m doing that thing where I get mad at online play again. Need to learn how to deal with random.

i just saw that invincible tag counter video, that is pretty dirty. i can see how it’s an ultra disadvantage if you did 2 supers like with dormamu expecting huge chip. i guess it would be worse if you can alpha counter, super, into a damage scaling reset combo/x-factor combo and catching their assist also. i dunno, a lot of people are asking for a patch but i dunno if i agree with that just yet. the possibilities for this are scary though.

Anyone planning on getting pokemon Black or White? let me know. i wanna know which starter i should pick so we can trade them later on.

We dont play dat pokemon around here!

=)

Doom’s assist is amazing on my team but I don’t really like playing him on point. Hulk and Arthur, however, I love.

The obvious solution is to replace Doom with Sent but i’ll probably seriously never do that.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t it have to be an air super? That limits the abuse a small bit, since you need an invicible air super to take advantage of it. It sucks that of all the characters for it to benefit it has to be Sentinel, but whatever. Also, no XFCs in the air either so it shouldn’t be too crazy.

Edit: Though the idea of catching the assist of an offensive blockstring character sounds kinda rough to deal with. Especially for Scott and that stupid Hsien-Ko assist.

Can you cancel into a hyper combo after they cross over counter and try to catch sentinel in that? Or could you cancel into hyper then Delayed Hyper Combo?(this should catch Sentinel right? His invincibility would be gone?) Yeah this sounds scary but there has to be something to counter it…

They should just patch something that silly. I am pretty sure Capcom did not intend for the hit stun and damage scaling systems that they had implemented to become so easily circumvented. It also just cheapens the game heavily, as it eliminates the need to even look for actual resets, which subsequently eliminates a large portion of the game’s strategic depth.

People can complain about character balance issues and never see anything change, that seems to be standard fighting game protocol. This is simply a bug that they have the ability to, and should, squash.

We might want to see how this all plays out though. I think it is still to early to call anything completely broken. We need to wait at least till after EVO. Hell I would like to see 6 solid months of game play evolution before anything gets patched or fixed or changed. We need to see where this all goes.

awww. you can play it while you wait in line, after i whoop that ass in marvel.
