So, you’re essentially saying that unless the non-Phoenix player has the ability of Combofiend and the Phoenix player has the ability of Viscant, they are not in a position to make the argument for or against Phoenix?
I’m not saying I agree or disagree with that statement – it would just make for far less exciting internetz.
This post seems mostly irrelevant. I posted the thread not because I see a lot of people bad-mouthing Viscant in SRK, specifically, but because this attitude is all over the stream chat whenever Viscant appears, and I’m sure a lot of those people frequent SRK.
No, I am saying what I have said in the post. t does not need to be just Viscant and Combofiend. That said, if I worked for Capcom and was responsible for Marvel 3, I would certainly ask players such as those, plus Justin Wong and other good players from the Marvel series instead of reading random posters from the MvC3 section who, as in any other section of the forum, have not entered tournaments for the most part. See, it is not wrong to not be a top player. In fact, there is nothing wrong in sucking at a game, even if it is the one game you like. But one does not need to pretend he or she does not suck. No need to pose. I am just mediocre at the game I play, for instance.
I enjoyed the old quiet style in the forums, TBH.
Those are trolls. So, not only you got trolled at those chats, you got baited into creating a topic about it? These trolls are probably laughing out loud now, if they are aware of this.
Newbie: "Hey guys, I just started playing MvC3 and I think I’ve come up with a good team! It’s X-23/Morrigan/Arthur."
Community: “STOP BEING A FUCKING SCRUB AND PICK A GOOD TEAM FFS.”
Newbie: "Hey guys, I’ve been playing MvC3 for a while and I think that Wesker/Phoenix/Sentinel is my team."
Community: “WAY TO BE CREATIVE AND PICK THE MOST OVERPOWERED TEAM FFS.”
There is literally no winning. I tend to play whatever the hell I’m the most comfortable with. No point in learning “top-tier” characters if you can’t use them worth a damn.
That’s pretty much standard MO for the fighting game community though, so if you don’t like it you should probably bail, it hasn’t changed for a decade and it’s not likely to anytime soon.
There’s already a topic on this, no need to make a second one. I mean, if Viscant knows that everyone hates Phoenix do you think he has the right to complain about people hating him? There’s a good reason why J Wong has dropped Wolverine and She Hulk.
Eh, you are not quite getting it. Winning IS what matters, so play with the best you have. If you feel that you can’t handle using Phoenix when it comes to defending yourself from Snapbacks, and you are regularly better with your normal team, then don’t force yourself on picking her just because you are about to lose. Play at your 100%, and if you want to use Phoenix, train with her first, don’t just randomly pick her.
It’s like, X lost the first match using Gen in Arcade Edition, so he decides to pick Yun. Why? Because he’s the best. Will that mean that he’ll win his next match? If he knows how to play him, there’s a chance, if he can’t, it’s unlikely that he won’t win, therefore it would have been better if he sticked to Gen.
That’s the actual “scrubby” move, to think you’ll win for sure because you go Top Tier.
He’s not doing so, but it’s funny that he’s gone from People’s Champion at Revelations to villain in the span of only a few months. Disrespecting his accomplishments is scrubby no matter how you look at it.
Jwong played both of those characters this weekend, so uhhh, yeah.
I disrespect you for reading the stream chat and giving a shit about it enough to open a thread.
We got enough stupidity here already so no need to import more of it from outside sources.
i just don’t know why marvel 2 is nostalgically praised for bullshit teams like msp and team scrub and people are getting tight about noel’s team. i think phoenix is a whole new level of bullshit but i don’t hate anyone who picks her. everything else in the game isn’t as bad as top tier in marvel 2.
never threw this one out before in my life but honestly it is 09ers.
edit and if anyone really hates phoenix or the game that much just quit. i took the game seriously for a month or so and realized that i was having no joy in playing the game so instead of complaining i quit.
I fucking love Viscant to death for being as cheap as possible.
I hate Phoenix. I hate her. Absolutely the most retarded character I’ve ever seen in a competitive fighting game period and an absolutely huge mistake and flaw no matter how brittle her glass skeleton is or how you can snap her in and kill her and all that nonsense. Flat out the dumbest god damn thing Capcom’s ever done without question and by far a glaring, burning, nagging flaw.
