shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet
do a reg team tourney that would be better and keep the 5 vs 5
:lol:
you know what i mean. :rolleyes:
:), Oh man Jadon fucking Brown better come to Evolution now, btw Glitches AREN’T ALLOWED? (to make combo longer or stuff)?
what you’re going to see is mag/storm/sent or cable beating the crap out of lower tiers:lol:
you should have low tier tourney division:p
What if…?
since this evo is on console, you should allow a normal 5 on 5 with same character teams…
imagine genghis with sent/sent/capcom, randy lew with cable-a/cable-b/cable-y, soo with mag/mag/psy, justin with storm/storm/cyke ahahah the possibilities are endless. now that would be entertaining and a breath of fresh air for the way mvc2 is played!
Is the reason for the 5on5 to see which coast has players that can play more characters, or which coast has more overall skills in the game? In response to your reasons for doing this instead of the 5on5:
-
Last year’s 5on5 did prove a lot. Even though people posted mad shit talk with excuses, EC got beat down and accepted that WC was better at that time. Soo got hella credit, and he did indeed beat Justin’s ass.
-
I’m sure that there are tons of players that are better with morrigan than sanford is, but how will you pick the teams? If you let Justin pick the EC team, there’s probably an autistic kid in S.C. that would probably own with gambit, but no one’s ever heard of him.
-
It probably will be a lot of fun if we were all hanging out and getting drunk, but to take 2 hours away the big screen unless there’s tons of left over time and not do the 5on5 would be a shame to all the people that goes to Evo and wants to see players at their best. Not what they could be if they only had 2 characters they sort of know how to use.
I’m not even sure if many people will enter this thing. I’m not saying scratch the event totally, but just don’t cancel the 5on5 for this joke tournament. I mean does anyone really want travel, whether it’s 15mins or all the way across the country to see Viscant’s Juggernaut vs Mike Z’s Tron?
Evo’s already lacking hype since it’s on console. What you’re doing is taking away what little hype is left for the 5on5.
Edit: Actually this is probably the worst idea since New Coke.
What’s the point in even having a qualifier for the wildcard, since they wont be able to play the team they qualify for?
If you want to have this as a side event, fine, but keep the 5 on 5 for the top players, and use this to showcase all rounders or low tier or whatever. This is a pretty bad idea to replace the 5 on 5. It will be amusing but get boring pretty fast
As an avid fan of MVC2,its top players, and tournaments in general. I’d say the 5on5 is the way to go. Nobody would give a shit which team won that tournament. But the 5on5? Thats fucking bragging rights. Thats exciting. This other tournament is not.
What if…?
how is this a breath of fresh air… besides psy and cyke which will probably be used only as assists… you just basically listed the Big 4!!! How many times did we see the Big 4 in action??? please tell me how this is a breath of fresh air?
Um, i personally agree with the people that think the 5on5 should go on as it did last year… Personally, I think I looked forward to that more than the tournament and finals matches… then again i knew the finals were Justin and Ricky :bluu: But, yea, definitely fun watching the 5on5 with everyone cheering in the background and al the matches seemed like high quality. Everyone keeps on saying like people were playing for nothing, or there was no incentive, but the bragging rights you win from it def should that each coast was trying to win it for their coast.
I think, do the 5on5 again… but two differences.
-
Seems like it’s already going to happen, but like more differences in the teams. Like i think I read somewhere Sanford’s not going, but it should be obvious mixup, justin, and desmond are already in, and add two more up and comin gto EC. West Coast, Soo, Row, Kuan, two more people on the rise. I think it’d be good to see how people have gotten better, and if they use different teams. It would definitely seem like this years 5on5 would be much closer than last years.
-
Don’t know if the Canons can, but I don’t know some jackpot prize, like $25 to each winner, free DVD, bunch of other stuff, any suggestions?
I figure if EC wins, lolz, end it all next year to see who wins best two out of three. If WC wins again, think it’s pretty obvious. I definitely think EC is hungry and they def will compete more this year.
Just my 2 cents 
P.S. although I personally would like to see some people from other regions, like a Seattle team, Cali team, NE team, SW team, it doesn’t seem feasible as this would be a shit load of games, but if there were any way around it, I think people would like to see people from different regions 
Team seattle( includes NW right)
Team Cali
Team Florida
Team NY
should have a 5 on 5
What if…?
And a give everyone who comes a pony.
Are you kidding? Have you seen the Did Soo really beat Justin thread? Oh wait, you started that thread. Your most significant contributation to it was this post:
I find your position then hard to reconcile with your position now that “Soo … did indeed beat Justin’s ass”. I have to conclude that either:
A) You are now in fact not Blaziniflo and are actually someone who has hijacked his account (possibly with Blaziniflo’s permission…)
B) You are Blaziniflo, are wildly schizophrenic, and are posting simultaneouly under different, conflicted personalities.
C) You’re just making shit up.
So which is it?
Team WC wins automatically. Mike Z/Viscant/Zaza will rip shit up with random bumfuck teams. Though Wong himself could probably contend with those three…
if this is what you think top tier mvc2 play is about, then
a) you haven’t watched a top tier match since the year 2001.
b) this is the level of competition that you keep getting beat down by in the arcade.
c) you don’t even play mvc2.
d) you’re a retarded low tier fanboy and nobody cares about what you have to say.
half your posts in srk are about mvc2 top tier, when it’s plain you don’t even know jack shit about how to play them. if you think that soo’s magneto is the same as taiji’s magneto which is the same as justin’s magneto, you’re either blind or too stupid to understand what’s going on besides the flashing colors.
Re: What if…?
i’m sorry you didn’t catch my sarcasm, it’s tough to see over the internet. the real purpose of that post was to show how dumb of an idea a draft for characters and limiting players’ character selections was by presenting another really dumb idea (same character teams).
Ponder i must be missing some stanford logic there…but if the ponies are groomed and glittered like ricky then why not!
I’ve been tossing around a few ideas on this since the team thing started. The main problem i have with the team event is that it’s not really a team event.
The main purpose of the current team format has been a quick response to REPLACE a game that you can’t have a normal tournament for, like A3 and 3s two years ago, like the SBO2 games… it’s basically so you can ‘say’ you have a game, but not really have a tournament. If it was possible to have a singles tournament, you had singles instead.
What mattered was top (8/16/32) in singles… which told us all the results we needed to know. What we run now are not team events, they are singles exhibitions. The only ‘good’ is when one person pulls some upset so we can talk about it on the internet… but that happens with single game matches, again, nothing to do with the ‘team’ tourney. Anyone remember EC vs WC? or do we remember soo vs justin?
Just ask yourself… if ANYTHING significant happens in singles, are you gonna care what happened in the team tourney… WC can win 25-0 but if EC gets a good portion of the top places, it won’t matter. And vice versa, ec can go 25-0 but if wc takes top 3 (in reality, top 1) are you gonna see the team tournament in the headline, hellll no. Team tourney is a backup in case singles turn out the same as last year, we still might get some single game matches to talk shit about.
What’s astounding is how quick people are to demean the idea. If your saying that the only way to have ‘skill’ is to take the top couple people and pretend it’s a team, to me your saying marvel is a pretty shallow game. Either you play the few styles that get respect aroudn here, or your a low tier scrub, no in between.
The draft format will definately add another dimension. I guess if you wanted to go all out you could make the rounds a full round robin instead of elimination style, but that’s just my opinion.
If your gonna say that it’s a bad idea, at least look at the whole picture and draw some conclusions from that.
Wow, those choices all seem so good I just don’t know which one to choose.
I think i’ll just go with D) Are the Cannon’s afraid WC will lose and are trying to let WC save face by doing this mockery of a tournament? This type of event is usually reserved for Soo when he’s made to entertain his little cousin that’s visiting, not at what was once the biggest national tournament of the year, but now 2nd because it’s on console.
Then again, I don’t think any amount of debating will actually be as effective as you pick captains for the teams, and see if they can actually find 2 other real players that will agree to particpate in this scrub circus.
If this happens, this will be the biggest scandal since the evo02 MvC2 finals.
FMJ: all that shit about evaluating and scared of something different is just bs and you know it.
The 5on5 is a competition between rivalries. I’m not saying only playing top tier is having skill, as I have seen some vicous low tier playing. But those players have never won a tournament with any real competition.
On the 5on5, the respective teams will be bringing their best, and the best are realistic in their tiers. But the best should not be forced to play (if they even participate in this catastrophe waiting to happen) with one hand tied.
i got a better idea ppl! make it instead of 5on5… 7on7!!!:eek:
why?
- means more players for each team(duh!
) which ends up in more matches (49 to be exact!!!) - means more exitement!!!, croud roaring!! and total absolute MvC2 raping , comebacks , ownage and carnage!!!
3)garanteed more destructive, bloodthirsty and gory MvC2 match vids for evo2k4 DVD(to make sure this doesn’t get misinterpreted there has always been that kind of footage but nuthing like the EC vs. WC look at any evo 2002 or 2k3 MvC2 match and tell me the number of the vids that has the exact amount of shit the Beefy 5 on 5 has? almost like 85.3% of the EC vs.WC match vids has extreme shitload of drooling gameplay). - if the problem lies in the how are we gonna put that much footage on the DVD just take out the highlights on MvC2 or make a disc 3 containing absolutely mvc2 footage(hell lot more of highlights , ECvs.WC action and the finals of course
)
and this should add more fotage to other games(3rd strike highlights? or A3?)
) which ends up in more matches (49 to be exact!!!)
