Mississippi II: New Threads Actually Excite Us

Yep. I’m getting all kinds of hate mail, ragequits, death threats, etc etc for using her.

Anyway, who here from MS is coming to the tournament in Olive Branch on Saturday? I know Cylus, Rod, Sev, w00t, and I are going, and I’m trying to get a friend of mine to come (Sgt Shamwow, who was at the Ole Miss tournament). Anyone else?

I can’t make it, but a friend of mine who is pretty good at MvC3 is coming to hopefully wreck shit.

I’m not where I would like to be in MvC3 yet, but online is helping me a lot.

What teams is everyone running in MvC3 right now? Currently I’m using Magneto/wolverine/Dante, but I like to mix in Chun Li, X-23 and a few others… I’m all about the rushdown.

akuma,hulk,dante

wesker,zero,doom

haggar,chris,taskmaster

Dante,Chun-Li,Akuma
Akuma,Morrigan,Phoenix
Dante,Sentinel,Phoenix :-; I’m a tier whore.

Sent/Dante/Phoenix. Been running that team since pre-release. It’s all I need.

Trish/Haggar/Pipe/Dormammu

Wolve/ryu/sent

Congratulations to all the Mississippi guys(rod, ricky) who went to that tournament up north today. I heard Cedric(Magneto Man) did well with his Guy in SSFIV and did pretty good in MvC3 as well. I can’t wait to play you guys in MvC3.

Oh, and I still think Sentinel is a bitch in MvC3… I find it more satisfying beating him than using him. He is also the most boring ass character in the game to play with this time around. Good thing he kills people so fast, because jesus fucking christ is he obnoxiously boring this time around.

I really don’t like Dante, yet I’ve been using him… I really need to find more time to practice so I can create a decent team and stick with it for a while. Assists take too much damage in this game, imo. It’d be worth it if the game had some really good assists like MvC2 had, but most of them are completely worthless… and the ones that are decent can be stopped by a jab. Where is my invincible Ken AAA? Where is My Psylocke AAA? So far I’ve been really digging Magneto’s shockwave assist because it at least comes out reasonably quick.

I also do not like the lack of techrolling in this game… It leads to masturbatory combos that are very easy to land, and take forever to complete. I just do not like the groundbounce shit very much, even if you can only get one bounce per combo. I also am not sure how much I like the air recovery jump shit… It’s probably just my MvC2 habits, but it’s really annoying lol.

Aside from my complaints, I do love the game. Will be purchasing any and all DLC for this bitch.

Thanks alot bro the tourney wasnt our best we didn’t have time to warm up due to running around for lunch and at gamestop (long story) and the xbox timing is so different from ps3 kyoji proved that by defeating wootsick in a money match however i have to get on the xbox just to get use to the timing hell atleast i put someone out the tourney and met some kool people next stop final round fuck EVO

Many thanks to the Mississippi guys (NastyBison, Kyoji24, and Cedric) for coming to our tournament here in Memphis. I was the big black guy that talked to you all at the end of the night. You guys can play that is for certain!

I feel you guys about the whole 360/PS3 thing. I feel that the PS3 is the tournament standard and should be the system of choice at even the local level. However, the local guys here in Memphis mostly have 360s and when you try and run a tournament at minimal cost, you have to use what your scene has. Most people here also bring up the whole timing issue as well between the 360 and PS3 as a reason 360 should be the system of choice so out goes the PS3 at tournaments! :frowning:

I will be adding you guys on PSN to get some more practice in. My Balrog needs the fighting experience.

When you guys come up with an official date for your tournament let me know and hopefully I will have the funds to come down and support. I will also inform the Memphis guys so we can support your scene as well. Feel free to add me on facebook:

Good luck at Final Round!

GGS to the Mississippi guys! It was nice meeting you all. I’m the Jan (the Blanka user) by the way. Feel free to add me on PSN. I rarely play nowadays, but when I do I’m on for a good while. Glad you guys got home safe. See you around.

Kyoji beat w00tsick in that money match? damn…good job, man! I’ve never beaten him…

I completely feel you about the PS3 issue. I wish everyone would just use PS3, personally. I have both systems and the PS3 is the system I buy all of my fighting games on.

Who’s all going to final round?

I’ll definitely be there. I’m modding sticks at the tournament (or in my hotel room, to be exact >.>).

Bad Games to a local MS player here. You know who you are. He played Sent. Dante. Deadpool tried locking me down. Akuma wasnt having it, so after I was gettin my beat on to that robot head he quit mid game then deleted me from his friends list lol REALLY!

lol It wasn’t me.

I don’t use fucking Sentinel anyway.

Where u been man haven’t seen u online?

Yeah, been really busy the last few weeks but I try and get online daily now.

You playing MvC3? If so we should get on that shit. I’ll keep a look out for you online. Hopefully you won’t beast on me as badly as you did in MvC2 lol.

You played Hulk Sent. Hulk Sent killed my whole family… but gg though. Re-add me if you want had a few crappy games before that and had to go take a salty breather. Speaking of which does gouki’s tatsu assist hit confirm into hulk’s ground throw hyper? ( Don’t know what its called the one where he actually throws the ground >.> )
Need to get my stick modded ;_;

Sentinel DEFINITELY wasnt in my arsenal . Akuma, Hulk, Dante.
Tatsu to hyper- yes
