I CAN BUILD YOU A GREAT STATUE!!! GRAND HORN ON HEAD!! GRAND HORN ON HEEEEAAAAADDDDD!!! **
lets call the whole thing off and close thread, aye?
hmmm maybe i should take the team i was playing 6 months after this game came out, out of retirement… Felica/Jugs/Ken hahaha
wow dude, you’re dense. but you’re in empire, that’s understandable. Us llamas would never be as dumb as you. Did read my posts? It’s not “let’s not try it out,” it’s “let’s not try it out if it’s going to replece WConEC 5on5.” Actually wait, it is let’s not try it out. Zaza and Patrick are dope. Patrick’s vagiter in case you’re just a fanboy. Mike Z sucks. Tell me something though, not dispecting zaza and vagiter, but do you think people would actually want them to play representing their regions over say, sanford or soo? This tournament idea is a joke. But then again, you probably don’t play.
Just drop the subject. Have both. This one for the fanboys. And the 5on5 for the fanboys and gangstas. GGOP.
this thread is out of control:eek:
To get this thread a little more back on topic…
I love the idea of a Marvel team tourney, I think it would be a lot more fun to watch than a 5on5, especially with 4+ teams. Of course it’s not as serious as the singles tourney, that’s the point, ignore the whining.
However, I think drafting characters is a horrible idea. There are two major strategies for a limited draft like this: (1) give all your best characters to Justin, and (2) distribute your five good characters between 3 people. All 3-5 matches will be awesome if both teams pick option (2). If both teams pick (1), you’ll have one great top-tier match and two beatdowns by the winner. If one team picks (1) and the other picks (2), you have either three very boring “Justin’s top tiers own whoever had to play Rogue this time” matches or a stunning upset. The result? You just decreased the 5on5 to a small singles tourny with low-tier players as the opening act - and that’s not nearly the level of coolness a team tourney could be.
I’d rather see teams draft from individual character pools - i.e. each team gets only one Magneto. This way, you don’t totally shaft the skills of the players on your team (imagine team seattle losing the coin flip and not getting Sent, what’s Kuan going to play?) but you get to see 50% more character diversity (9 chars as opposed to 6).
this shows how broke mvc2 really is.
To be honest this sounds like the only marvel matches Id want to watch, I could honestly not give a fuck who won a 5 on 5 EC vs. WC. I know my opinion doesnt really have any sway but marvel is fucking boring as hell for me to watch since I don’t play any more and you can only watch mag combos or sent combos so many times before you sort of tune out.
Something new might bring people into playing MvC2 that don’t currently… If thats possible since SRK, and before that, #capcom have always been big on the VS games over all other fighting games.
At least seeing people play characters that dont normally get seen will make the fights slightly more interesting, forcing people to play somewhat out of theyre element
The draft idea sounds fun as well, if it works out it might be fun to see that in 3s/ST/CvS2 team tournaments too… How will who gets 1st over all be decided?
Option 1 might not go down. Justin beats people down with cammy/cyke/doom, or marrow/guile/tron, or cammy/guile/charlie etc. If I was on Justin’s team I’d give the one big-four character to someone else just because Justin has the ability to handle wack-ass teams.
Plus, in an overall draft pick with 4 teams, your most likely going to get 1 big-four character(mag/cable/sent/storm), 2 upper tier(cyke/commando/psylocke/doom/ironman/blakheart/tron/spiral/strider), and the other 6 are gonna be shitty mid tier characters.
Which goes back to having the match itself be round robin, even if there are some strong teams you still have to win some more matches to win the whole thing
I think if there’s gonna be a team tourney, then it might as well be 5 on 5. however
The draft idea sounds really fun. If it really is going to happen, then it should be a singles event. For example, if it was an 8 man event, the draft (assuming the order flipflops on the way back) might like look like this:
- Mag
- Storm
- Cable
- Sent
- BH
6 Doom - Commando
- Spiral
- Cyke
- Ironman
- Strider
Spiral/Cyke IM/Cap Strider/Doom (uhoh)
Of course players would think ahead and make sure Strider/Doom doesn’t happen. This is where draft strategy comes in.
Also, the draft shouldn’t stop at 3 rounds. It should be 4 or even 5, and each person will make a team from 3 of their 5.
anyway, yeah fun!
my god. that’s one of the stupidest things i’ve ever read. Are you blind? Last year’s was exciting because of one match? Were you even there? Oh sure. Totally ignore that huge crowd ovation at the end of the Soo vs. Ricky match. Completely ignore the crowd Exploding when Row destroyed Ricky’s Storm in 4 seconds. And I suppose Genghis OCVing Wigfall with commando had everyone sit on their hands?
Anyway Ink and Ponder, I think a lot have spoken. I have a feeling a draft tournament isn’t going to draw that large of a crowd. Maybe you should make a poll about this, having everyone on SRK vote between a 5on5, the team tourney without a draft, or a team tourney with the draft. Just to get an idea of what the people want. You could probably throw in other ideas for an exhibition as well into the poll. Like a combo exhibition as well or something.
It’s pretty obvious a draft tourney isn’t very popular. As I said before, it’s an exhibition…I have an opinion but it really doesn’t matter, or shouldn’t anyway.
A good question would be, why is the ACTUAL tourney so boring? A lot of people seem more interested in the side event than the main event.
nobody said the actual tourney is boring. Just you.
A combo exhibition is a MUCH better idea than some gay low-tier tourney.
so we can all see the combos from Mag/Storm/Sent/Psycke/Cable/Capcom/Strider/Doom thats been done over and over from the years?
Umm no, dickums. The combo exhibition is graded on innovation and flash. So you obviously can’t win it by doing corny bnb type shit that everyone and their grandma can do. Cali already had a combo exhibition a while back which IIRC Mike Z won. So why not pit the coasts/regions against each other and see who has the best combo artists. I heard Chikyu is coming to Evo so you can throw him into the mix as well, I know he’s good at that type of thing.
In short, watching low tiers play = boring. Watching low tiers do crazy combos = not as boring. This event definitely has the potential to be highly entertaining. You say you want to see new stuff in marvel? Well, this is the right way to do it.
um… when we did a combo exhibition contest here at FF, a lot of new shit was shown. Potter got innovative with Sentinel fast fly. Mike Z showed off some wack ass glitches. There was even a guy who showed some nice shit with Hulk/Collossus/Thanos. So shut up and drink your tea, lousy brit.
I may be a brit, but I’m welsh, don’t get the welsh mixed up with english.
If they can show me something new then I aint one to complain.
Just after viewing tons of MvC2 combo & match vids, I’ve possibly seen it all. I’m not one to hate on ideas but if Evo was going to do one I’m not going to complain either.
I guess I’m just not a big fan of MvC2 anymore (since the tournaments I am able to go to take it out of its list)
Kinda makes you wonder why Evo never did a Combo Ex. competition.
you may be an idiot
