EVO MvC2 Exhibtion, Masters Challenge Team Tournament

This would be a great way for people to actually learn about the game…but people don’t want that…

Agreed. Even though I think a good Strider would rock this sort of team tournament (Doom is an uncommon enough character to not conflict with teammates, any number of characters can go in the third spot, hard to beat, especially with limited character choices, etc.), it works better than the draft. The draft idea sounds fun also, but I think it wouldn’t hold up quite as well. Making it teams of 4 but keeping the character limit rule would be interesting as well.

I’m not a big fan of the draft for 2 reasons: 1, stupid counter games (grabbing Doom so you don’t have to worry about Srider, some guy ending up with a retarded team like Cable/Commando/Psylocke etc) and 2, which is sorta related to the first, people ending up with characters they don’t know how to play. I honestly don’t have confidence that the players will know what to do if they end up with Rogue/Sentinel/Tron, or any other teams which could actually work, or characters who are fully capable of pulling off shit like Genghis’ CapCom did last year…and it will just look retarded.

62

I think drafting individual characters will just end up silly… no teams will really have chemistry and it’s end up as Justin playing w/ the top 3 picks of EC and beating everyone.

How about drafting teams?

MSP, MSS, Scrub, Scrubclops, Sent/Strider/Doom, etc.

EDIT: Much rather see a normal team tournament, in any case. This is just if y’all insist on drafting.

63

I like the idea of 4 teams but I’m not feeling this draft pick idea to much. Don’t get me wrong it is a fresh idea, I just don’t think it will work well at EVO. Mainly because everybody would rather see a rematch between the two coast. So any other idea is pretty much irrelevant.

Having 4 teams this time, is a good idea though. You can have a EC, WC, Midwest, and I suppose a team Seattle since people always puts them by themselves. You have one team versus another and the winners will fight each other to see who is the best.

Why limit characters? honestly if everyone on team WC is really good with sent why should they limit them selfs? nah… i dont think this is to prove who knows how to play more characters just who can win.

If not this just turns into one of those SRK scrubs dreams where you can just ban what you dont like rollcancels/strong characters.

65

“yeah man, fuck this marvel shit lets go play magic”

Ekin’s the man, and his word is bond. Margilis is one of dumbest people I’ve ever read. Seriously, do you play Marvel? And where you from and who do you play with? Oh yea, you’re gay and stfu.

Sorry Ponder, for me being a hypocrite, but if YOU’RE going to try to change the subject of me making relevant points in replying to your reasons for not having the 5on5, then you are hypocrites as well. You say your reasons for this thread is to get player feedback, and then totally ignore my points and refer to some thread I made 8 months ago.

You want constructive criticism? Here it is: Marvel is random enough as it is. The game is 4 years old. Anyone that is still playing this game is damn serious and competitive, and have given up on that whole “damn he’s playing top-tier, he’s so cheap” complex. There have been more new tactics and strategies devised with the limited number of characters used these days than in the past few years combined.

Anyone that is posting they’re sick of seeing top tier vs top tier is F)probably doesn’t play this game, A) plays and sucks at this game, G) is a person that choice G applies to and is probably not going to Evo, or O) if they are going to Evo, they’re either really rich or are T) going to get peaced out really quick, most likely both.

I understand what you’re doing though. Evo’s on console and the hype isn’t there. You figure the players that are hardcore about the game and really want a real 5on5 will be at Evo anyways. But you want to attract the fanboys and other less serious players with an event that they can enjoy and might be excited about.

It’s understandable, since neither of you play MvC2 hardcore or even at all, that this idea might sound good to you.

I would suggest contacting the 5 players in each of the regions you picked you think that has the most understanding of their respective players and knows the most people and see what they say. I know I’ve already talked to the 5 from Cali, 5 from EC, and 3 from Seattle that I think fits those requirements, and they all said the idea is blasphemy in the name of all that is Marvel and wouldn’t play in it. So if you do hold it, you’re looking at a bunch of middle/lower tier players beasting with Sabertooth.

67

Nah, it should be round robin. In the arcade downstairs. And then have the draft pick tournament on the big screen. Guess where everyone will be?

68

No…you are…wow, genius comment. I like how all of you put together are too stupid to make one coherent comment. Who ties your shoes in the morning?

Edit:

Blaze is an idiot, so I will spell this out for him.

Blaze’s argument now: We need an EC vs WC tourney to settle who is better - the players will bring their best.

Blaze’s argument perviously: The EC vs WC tourney didn’t settle anything and the players didn’t bring their best.

So which is it? It can’t be both.

The whole thing is stupid anyway, because we ALL know two things:

1: WC is better than EC
2: Justin is better than anyone

There is no way around those. It IS settled and it has been settled for about a decade. EC has had time after time to put up or shut up, and they always get beat down, come up with a lame excuse, then say “oh…you’re just SCARED!” The only people who think there is an EC/WC rivalry are the perrenial EC losers.

Edit 2: eKin gets a response when he posts something not totally retarded. I don’t think you guys are doing yourselves any favors when your entire arguments are “fag.” Good one guys!

Edit 3: There is a serious MVC2 tournament already. I do think it would be a HORRIBLE idea for this to replace and become the main MVC2 tourney. But nobody is proposing that. A team vs. team, WC vs EC random exhibition is really no different than an actual tourney. It’s the same people, playing the same chars…why bother? It’s a tiny variation on the exact same thing. Maybe we could also do a north/south tourney! An international/US tourney? A 3 on 3 touney! Who cares? It’s the same matches. Nobody gives a shit about watching Josh Wigfall play out his side of some pretend rivalry in any setting.

The only person interesting in the WC/EC angle is Justin. If you really want a cool exhibition, just do Justin vs everyone. The thing that made last year exciting was Justin. (And the fact he got whipped once) Take Justin away and you have boring shit identical to the normal tourney.

It’s funny you guys are crying about a scrub tourney…exhibitions are exhibitions, tourneys are tourneys…exhibitions are not serious by definition. You can’t do a serious tourney limited to arbitrary invites to randomly divided geographical areas.

Why do you guys like the EC vs WC angle?

a: There is an exciting rivalry. (In your imagination)
b: Last year it was exciting. (Because of one match)
c: It settles things. (Except last year, when it didn’t)

or maybe you could include the ec players that crept up and won a few games(or more) last year…

seriously, you’re ignorant so i don’t mind.

They own us so damn hard, lets just vote in this thread who the winner was and get it over with.

I <3 this

edit:why do we like the ec/wc angle?

because the ec actually has a pretty good player base now, comp is better and it’s likely to be a better match-up.

71

The whole thing is stupid anyways, because we ALL know two things:

  1. You’re a fag who just gives his worthless input from behind a computer screen.
  2. You’re a fag who just sucks dick.

Are you going to Evo? If not, then STFU and stop posting because this shit doesn’t concern you.

If you are, play me for $100, 1st to 10. If you don’t accept, I’ll just quote ekin, and you can just go away.

72

It really doesn’t matter all that much, what format an exhibition takes place with is really just trivia. It’s just amusing that you guys are complaining about a “scrub tourney” while advocating the incredibly scrubby notion that a 5 on 5 invite tourney is worth going beserk over, and the actual TOURNEY tourney isn’t worth mentioning.

What next? You guys start crying about some rule changes to a combo exhibition?

I guess the 5 on 5 invite tourney appeals to people because they know they have no shot in an actual tourney.

The real problem here is that you clowns are elevating a non-serious side activity above the core event, while claiming to be “hardcore” players or some such shit…all this invite only garbage is filler and window dressing. As self-proclaimed “serious” players your goal is supposed to be winning an actual tournament. Imagine that! I guess if you have no chance of winning a real tourney the invite only tourney makes you feel all warm inside.

73

i guess acting like a faggot on the internet makes you feel all warm inside

74

Blaze: The 5 on 5 is great, because it settles rivalries.
Blaze: The 5 on 5 last year settled nothing.
Blaze: I’m a fucking moron.

75

I bet if them Japanese Marvel players showed up with thier random fucking Marvel teams, they’d actually do pretty well in this whole one character the whole time deal. I think Joe Zaza and his random teams would be pretty crazy too. This actually gives people who play non-standard teams at a competitive (or close to competitive) level an advantage, since they would pretty much benefit the team as a whole.

76

please shut up already.

77

You first?

Lol I’m done. I think an exhibition with some sort of character exclusivity would be interesting, which is the point of an exhibition. You think I’m a fag. Both our opinions are now known. I think at some point you even tried to make some sort of argument for or against the actual topic…maybe.

The question you should ask yourself is: Why do I care so much about the exhibition and not the actual tournament? Instead you are going off on how it’s an insult to world of marvel…IT’S A FUCKING EXHIBITION!

You can get the last word (which will no doubt be fag), just imagine me pasting that last line over and over again as every response.

IT’S A FUCKING EXHIBITION!

78

except this exhibition is way less intense compared to the ec vs wc

whats confusing about that?

It’s not that this is a bad idea, it’s just that east coast is way more interested in another shot at playing their top 5…

i’m interested in how many side events there will actually be time for. thats one way to get people to open up to the idea, discuss the limitations of what we can really do at evo. The consoles should make for many many possibilities. why can’t we just run hella marvel exhibitions:lol:

79

True, but that also goes for the number(s) of characters that are rarely used in Tourneys.

Have you seen of heard of vegita-x? He uses Rogue/Storm/Tbone. Proof that low-tier can compete in Marvel at the big tourneys. Because a lot of these low-tier characters aren’t hardly used, many of us to don’t get to see how well they play in the hands of someone who has taken their time and ‘devised’ strategies and tactics to go head to head against people using the big four. Some names like Joezaza, MikeZ, should pop up in peoples minds and those people who use Team Steriods and etc… IMO, therea are going to lots of great matches if they do go with the draft pick team exhibition.

Its something new. A new idea and also another change for this year’s EVO. People don’t like change, never have, and never will, but you can’t stop change. Either you like it or not, it’s not going to hurt to try it out and if the idea flops, you know what not to do the next year.
