Thanks dude! I’ll get watching.
you welcome it was a funny coincidence i ran into that video right after reading this thread
Da fuck?
Padtrick doesn’t have the best Strider, even he says his strider sucks
He does however have the best Vergil, free… just watch his footage from last weeks TNT
But best Strider? lol
Yeah I should have left Strider blank because there isn’t a Strider that truly impresses me without using X-factor Orbs. Honestly, I only put Padtrick because I thought his recent placings were due to Strider. The few clips I remember him from was him doing an x-factorless and orbless comeback vs 2 characters w/ xfactor.
Strider’s optimal position is with lvl 3 xf so I doubt you’ll see any good point striders place high or win any tourneys…
Just to back up my claims of padtrick having the best Vergil… Go to 3:36:40 to see him blow through pr rog and perfect Ricky, he also beat Chris G at NCR.
People like to say Yipes has the best Vergil, which he really does has a great Vergil, but performance wise, you gotta give it to Padtrick. Yipes is more known by the community and is loved by all, so no surprise he’s getting all the Vergil votes

3:36:40 to the end of video
Yeah Im not saying I need to see a point strider to judge if they’re the best. I’m just saying they all do pretty much the same thing, so you can’t really determine who is the best. It’s just the character itself rather than the players, that’s why I almost left a high tier like Dr. Doom blank.
Padtrick’s Vergil is on point in that vid though. I would like to see him at more majors to prove if he can handle the environment consistently cuz he was beasting at NCR. It’s good that you pointed it out though cuz like I said the answers in this thread are only subjective to what we’ve seen.
Thing is Yipes’ placings at majors are just as good as Padtrick’s, I don’t think its just that Yipes is more popular.
Flagged for rape.
its not rape when they take it willingly lol
Notables from the East Coast don’t play Cap. West Coast has like 2 or 3 (Dacidbro, Ken, Hi Im Nasty). Only notable guy in the midwest thats playing Cap is Blacktastic from Cleveland and the other Cap coming up from Cincinnati, which is Otter. I don’t count Justin Wong because he picked Cap just to teach James Chen how to play him.
I think Blacktastic has the better Cap in America. Just solid fundamentals with his play.
He played it smart too. I love it. Really hope he keeps trying that team. Cap has more air game and more damage than Iron Fist.
Well frankly, I need players to steal tech from! Lol. Really hope the character becomes more popular. He’s got a lot going for him. Projectile invulnerable Special/Hyper (Charging Star), invincible special (Stars and Stripes), instantaneous invincible Hyper (Hyper Stars and Stripes) partially invincible backflip, decent options on incoming characters, good reset opportunities in the corner, and good synergy with many of the high tiers. (Doom especially. He can get Cap a million damage for 2 meters with Missiles.)
His weaknesses are few if you play him smart. He’s inseparable from Hawkeye for cross-ups with backflip. (Play Doom Missiles and Hawkeye is even more godlike. Someone reads the backflip, Hyper Stars and Stripes on reaction, or Charging Star for mashable damage against beam hypers.) His aerial Shield Slash (key part of any Cap is 2369(L/M) is completely unsafe (stop playing like me and don’t throw it out incessantly against characters with meter.) He supposedly has problems in the corner, but Condor_Missile and Ken both have solo corner relaunches, and tons of assist he could/should be using anyway help him out in that regard. (either Tatsu, Doom Missiles hitting after early hyper, Spencer-A, and that’s just counting stuff that works with Cap’s OTG, not stuff like Wesker-B or Felicia’s OTG assist.)
Dieminion is an amazing player, but he’s not good with any of his characters. He wins because he forces his opponents to play Dieminion: The Game, which people not named Dieminion have a low chance of winning. His Morrigan is okay, his Joe is okay, his Strange is an embarrassment.
If he wasn’t living in some cave in Baja California I’d put Pulsr as #1 Jill and top 2 for Iron Man.
Liked for the Def Jux track. Too bad about the hiatus.
Ace’s Skelethon can’t get released sooner, any new Aesop is always good.
Anyone that’s saying Americans have the best Vergils are definitely living under a rock. I mean Yipes is the best vote for US I’d say but Padtrick? not at all.
Chou’s Vergil is unsurpassed and the gap in skill is glaringly huge. Like I’m as confident about saying Chou has the best Vergil as I would be to say ABEGEN has the best Tron.
Damn! So Chou gets best Vergil, Wesker AND Strider? What he couldn’t get Magneto too?
btw, Padtrick was able to beat pr Rog, Yipes couldn’t… just saying
I wouldn’t say Chou has the best Magneto (I personally prefer Liquidmetal’s though Fanatiq is pretty much synonymous with Magneto), but I would say he definitely has the best Strider. But even if people were to disregard Japanese players, as a few people have tended to do here, I don’t know why they’re not saying Clockwork then has the best Strider. At least he can doesn’t just play him as a XF3 character.
This thread bothers me because people go with names and not player skill… Like how the post above me says “Fanatiq is pretty much synonymous with Magneto” just because he talks about how much he is a magneto player doesn’t make him the best.
I even think alot of people that are claiming chou is the best of anything haven’t even seen more than 1 or 2 matches of him, they’re just saying it because they probably heard someone else say it on here
Padtrick is alot better than i thought after seeing those videos. I’d put him and Yipes as the top 2 best Vergils in America. But japanese Vergils are still ahead though. There’s alot of them that are at padtrick and yipes level but also some that are above.
josh360 was the reason i even found out about competitive mvc and i played mag tony sent in that game as well … just because i picked up jill skrull and wesker cuz they are badass doesn’t mean i never touched higher tier characters lol
also just for the record joker and pulsr are my favorite umvc3 players u tard. So i’m not popping off to joker because i love watching him play! I can’t wait till i see some iron man in that money match vs fanatiq. I’ve talked with rdk and joker for a on xbl before and they both know i’ve been working on making that same team for a long time now its just kinda hard when you/re sponsored and you can’t take the risk of not making the top cut, yet you still wanna practice the other team in a tournament setting.
btw pulsr and joker need to freaking go to an ec tournament those guys invent some serious shit !! - (fanboy <3) LOLOLOL
