oh I see. Good question.
Therebis a team canada now
The 5th slot is filled? Or there is a 2nd team canada?
Uk bailed so theres a 2nd team.
That makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.
Sup shinakuma longtime no play… Imajnn on psn prez007 xbl… Rose player
Can we get a Joker VS Fanatiq exhibition at Canada Cup??? :eek:
Do I get VIP status for being on team canada
Dude . . . why not just call your damn manager CCG Jozhear? Or talk to him at band practice in like 5 hours?
Very unfortunate. Team Dom. Rep. with their lack of money, Chinese players with Visa problems and UK bailing really stinks!
Anyway I’ll give you guys a brief rundown from certain places which are interesting to look at.
Around the beginning of Canada Cup being mentioned the line opened up:
Japan
Korea
USA
Canada
Those were the only 4 teams mentioned and though they didn’t know the players or any of the other teams, those were projected lines. Though you couldn’t take any action. At this point there wasn’t any chatter just the beginning projection.
Later there were added some others but these were just speculation to project the line. They added all the teams from last year but eventually took them off as confirmation came up.
Fast forward to a little ago with the mention of some names, possible teams and results.
With the added team of Netherlands, UK, possible Team DR and South Asian team it looked like this-
Japan
Korea
USA1
USA2
UK
Canada
DR
Netherlands
Interestingly enough, Korea seemed to be on the verge of overtaking Japan until Infiltration lost. That brought up both USA’s line and hindered Korea. It widen a close separation of Japan/Korea and USA/UK. The interesting point here was the chatter. The point of topic is that the big action to take was for Team DR as the thought was they had the best line. Another one was South Asia team but it was predicted if the Chinese/Taiwan were in it that they were to shoot up to 3rd so DR was the action to take. The guys that were looking to take some action to improve where mainly looking for best return line thus looking at the bottom teams. One of the veterans said the best course of action was to take action on one of the underdogs (he suggested DR) and two of the favorites (he suggested Japan/Korea but also if you feel risky you can substitute one of those for a USA team) so you can go away happy.
Now currently with the take away of UK, DR and the addition of Canada #2, things seem bleak to them. With Chi Rithy win over Wong and Dieminion one would think it’ll just likely higher the value of Canada to USA and not lower USA significantly the same way the KBRAD win over Infiltration did. At the moment it seems the vets will probably pass on Canada Cup as what they mainly look for are undervalue players/teams and straddle it with favorites.
Also it was mentioned of a Fanatic vs Joker exhibition. Can we have a Tokido vs FChamp UMVC3 Exhibition at Canada Cup? I think Tokido vs Fchamp has more subtle undertones to it that would have a longer significance.
There’s a new update … please update the thread and the website when you can are free
Team UK is no longer attending so I"ll update the new trailer right when we get new one.
We currently have 8 teams that are attending Canada cup
The last 2 teams are Canada 2 and Team south Asia
Team south Asia
Gamerbee
Humanbomb
Xian
TBV
TBV
Team Canada AE
There will be a qualifiers Thursday 7pm for wild card spot ($25 entry fee on site), winner of that competes in the 5 v 5 round robin (1 game 2/3 rounds), and winner of the round robin become a member of Canada 1 or has a choice to be Captain of Team Canada 2. If winner decides to be on Canada 1 then by default 2nd place winner will be Captain of Canada 2. If winner of the round robin decides to be on Captain of Canada 2, then 2nd place winner will be on Canada 1. I would like to recommend to Captain 2 to keep everyone that played on round robin to be on his team, and 2nd place of the qualifiers. But it is up to him to make the strongest team so talk to your members.
Team Canada UMVC3
Also, UMVC3 qualifiers is cancelled on Thursday. I have made Bee the Captain of team Canada for UMVC3 and he will be allowed to pick his team (I hope everyone understands why). This match will be played before the 5 v 5 international AE tournament. If for any reasons there are disputes on the members that Bee picks please have him set up a 1st to 5 vs one of the members, there may need to be something at stake to avoid spams of anyone that wants to get on.
Rules tbv but would most likely be 2/3 matches for Canada vs USA Umvc3.
Lastly, if you are on team Canada for AE or UMVC3 please still register. I would be bad if you showed up and didn’t sign up for the games that you wanted to compete in. The biggest favor you can do for us is register asap.

Guess u guys know by now but I’m coming to this event! Can’t wait to play a lot of top players and step my game up.
This will b my first non Toronto major so I’m gunna have to bring my A game and rep my city.
See u guys there!
The “TBV” obviously would ideally be for Dakou/Xiaohai but last I heard (not sure how accurate it is) they were having visa issues. I’m guessing Zhi would be one of the fill ins if the Chinese can’t make it.
If D/X are able to make it that would make this team one of the favorites to win. In the more likely scenario they don’t make it it’ll be hard fought for them.
Bee? Tell me why this scrub desereves a spot on the team… hea just the pad faggot from the free coast that jwong bodied in a ft10?
2 guys i was most impressed with at the salty suite not named humanbomb was dakou and xiaohai. those guys are ridiculous
Yo HumanBomb, Sakura mirrors, let’s go!
