i got dat mvc3. i got 1st in the gamestop tourney and received a $25.00 gift card. oh god this game is fast as FUCK. gonna take me a while to get used to the speed. i’m used to old people’s games like SSF4 and tekken. wtf is going on here. i’ll catch up with you guys as the week progresses. i’m in no shape to play anyone good :lol:
If someone talks to the smash players about how they got back in then maybe Duquesne is an option. I know they’ve been playing down there for awhile now.
There was a tournament… that could have saved me 25 dollars of the purchase of that expensive as fuck game. 60 dollars… what the shit capcom. Why you gotta be taking my money.
Aaron, get in the practice mode. School can wait. And so can work. And sleeping, don’t forget to cut out sleeping.
Lastly, CMU event this Friday. I’m going there to beat the living shit out of everyone.
jake
be less good
thanks
more importantly, dragon age 2 apparently pushed back til march… not only do i suck at marvel, but the dragons are beating me now too
cry
What’s up at CMU now?
Wow really? I thought you played old games, but I guess not. I’m guessing you also didn’t play MvC2, that game was slap full of option selects left and right.
The reason it doesn’t seem necessary is the game just came out. It hasn’t evolved to require those things yet.
Also, is there any consistency to when you guys play? I’d need to know in advance to get time off to come up to Pitt and play, so if there were set days that would be really helpful.
Actually you can ask anyone here, I’m the main advocate for older games. I’ll set up anything pre-SF4 any time. Ok, I used to be willing to do that but now I just play 3s and Tekken when I have some decent version of either, which I don’t at the moment so I don’t play anything right now. But I’m willing to bet I can beat you in anything you want to try. Option selects, mind games, whatever lingo you want to use, I don’t care. Skill talks, not dictionaries, and you haven’t shown up or shown any yet.
Waste of my damn time even typing this.
Why the fuck are you making this personal? When did I EVER comment on your skill as a player? When did I EVER personally attack you? When did I EVER claim myself to be more skilled than you? When did I EVER imply that I can beat you at any game? Jesus man, take a breather. I meant no offense to you but was simply stating that 1. the game needs to evolve just like every other game before it and 2. option selects are nothing new and are in no way exclusive to SFIV.
So, is there any consistency to when you guys play? I might only be able to come up 1 to 2 times a month so if I can have some preset days of the week
You seem to like to pick apart my shit in particular. Ok, so you don’t agree with me, cool. But its every other page you like to jump on my shit. You want to spout off all this “knowledge” and everything and try to make me look like I don’t know what I’m talking about but I’m one of the guys that actually has played here. You’re just another screen name like Jimmy was for a long time.
CMU is having a release party/tournament thing. Ask Superscience or Bonkler about it.
Rock, we’ve missed free money 2-3 times already this semester. I need to regain my throne with you at my right hand :-p just don’t piss Paul off again and you’re guaranteed $20… maybe. Next week is the next tournament. We can play on Wednesday night if you want.
Sorry I didn’t play with you guys yesterday, didn’t check the thread at all yesterday. I’m down for anything that is going down this week though, just let me know! Or just post up here, will be sure to keep checking back.
I actually spent over an hour in training mode and then forgot to quit out/save the points. Doh! I’m trying to relearn the game with the default control config, so I’ll probably hit lots of wrong buttons at first.
It seems like just doing the super is the best combo off of haggar assist with zero. Does 50% or so. I think maybe I’ll pick a different character as the second in the team. (maybe storm?) Zero and chun don’t seem like the most synergetic combination in terms of comboing off assists and DHCs.
Apparently lariat into rush super does way more damage than lariat into smash super. Plus you can combo after it!
Referring to WB? I’m certainly interested, we can talk about it next time I see you.
All right, I’ll go more into depth with the MvC3 Launch Party at CMU now
First of all, it’s on SATURDAY, just to make sure no one makes a mistake. Herb made a facebook event page about this, but I’ll just post the info down here to make sure no one misses it.
Time: Saturday 2pm-6pm (probably will extend to later)
Place: University Center Rangos 3
http://www.cmu.edu/homeimages/campus-map/CMU_MapColor_11x17.jpg
This is a map of the campus so from here, go to building 29, or the University Center. Then you should be able to find your way to Rangos by asking people or looking at the signs in the UC.
If you can, more setups of Mahvel would be aweosme.
Here’s the link to the event on facebook

As for an update on hosting at CMU for weeklies, unfortunately we need to have a club in order to reserve spaces. Unfortunately Bonkler and I don’t know how long it will take for our club to be able to register and be able to rent rooms. As soon as we know more, We’ll update on that.
Tomorrow night, after 2, I am free for games. I’m certainly willing to host a marvel session on into the night.
Just so everyone knows how high to aim for, my goal is not lose a set from today forward. So everyone, get cracking in that training mode.
Butters, you should join up tomorrow and we’ll discuss our winter brawl plans. I hear you are playing Zero, who is dirty as fuck. Good choice there! Who else are you playing?
Anemone, we usually play on Friday’s at either Adam’s in Dormont or RJ’s in Southside. We do play a lot on Saturday and Sunday as well, but the location is never consistent. Things are going to get a little hectic now with Marvel out. Not certain what will happen to the crew/where we will be playing. As for this Friday, I think I’ll end up at Adam’s (Shinlad). I say pm him for his info if you care to join up.
Aaron, Storm. Do it. The dhc into storm super is priceless. And someone here needs to play her, we all know she is good.
My xbox RROD’d no marvel for odell for a bit I guess. He’ll be back up in a day or so.
I’ve done it within two conversations I believe, and it only seems like I’m targeting you because you are the only one who discusses these things within the thread. I don’t mean it as disrespect to you but purely as intelligible conversation. I want neither to discredit you but merely participate in a conversation.
Yes I am just another screen name, and when I come up I do not expect to be up to snuff, but that’s why I’m going to be driving the 2 hours to Pitt so that I can learn and participate. It may be a little presumptuous of me to participate in these conversations right now, but understand I’m just that kind of person. When I lived in Florida, I couldn’t drive, so I stupidly decided the best thing to do was throw my own tournament. It’s just the kind of guy I am, I get ahead of myself everytime I do something.
Thank you! It is the time I am most concered about, not the location, so this will (eventually) be a big help.
Well, just let us know when you want to come down, or when you are free and thinking about coming down, and we’ll point you in the right place.
As for everyone playing marvel, I will give you as much advice as you are willing to hear. I’m not sure if I will learn the whole cast in this game, but my goal is to learn as many characters and set ups as I can. So regardless of who you are choosing to play, I’ll be right there learning them with you. As for now, get into training mode and learn to wave dash (use down + two punches at the same time repeatedly), learn how to do an air combo (usually launch into medium medium fierce), learn how to air combo into switch (using a direction and your launch button), and find some decent combos online. I’ll give as many tips as I can while we are playing. I’m also willing to not do this for certain people if you pay me money or give me food… j/k. But no, really, if you give me pizza and tell me to stop training someone, you got it.
Lastly, I found these on youtube, but they were not labeled as mvc3, so some people are probably going to miss them. Go to youtube and type in “Yipes in the lab” and “sanford in the lab” to get the goods. Sanford’s bread and butter with Sent does 99% damage with only 1 meter and no x factoring. So dirty.
Its my Dick in a BOX!!!
So I am free Saturday Weeeeeee!!! CMU for marvel would anyone be willing to meet up so we can get lost together.
(I will not have my dick in a box on saturday, if anyone had any funny ideas about getting lost with the black guy. I don’t play that way!)
Just a note on wave dashing: I find it MUCH easier if you quickly alternate the stick and buttons, rather than hitting them simultaneously.
Yeah I think Chun is cut for the moment. Zero B&B into hailstorm is butt easy, hits fully, and does good damage. Storm can DHC her B&B lightning storm combo into Zero super America’s favorite DHC style if you time it right. It does 80% or so.
that sucks. he sounded so excited on the phone today to get home and play it.
