MvC3 Tournament and Stream commentary thread

Lots of good Skrull action on stream, do look in the archived footage.

Sixfortyfive:

A lot of people still don’t demonstrate proper assist usage. I would basically spend the first 10 seconds of each match getting a feel for whether my opponent (a) knew how to use assists to cover his point character and (b) knew how to protect his assist from punishment. If he was bad at either of those I could basically relax, turn on auto-pilot, and just shoot arrows and call meter assist from full-screen all day.

I saw every character used in tournament play at least once. A good Thor took a round off of me in casuals. One player actually knew how to play Hsien-Ko on point and get mileage out of it.

I only saw Sentinel in about two-thirds of the matches I witnessed instead of the ~95% I see on streams. I also no longer find Sentinel to be threatening personally, at all. Too many people use him as a crutch and are thus predictable and easy to adapt to.

At one point JWong, apparently disgusted with Mike’s play, booted him off the station they were at and picked Mike’s team to show him how he’s supposed to play the game.

Said hi to MarkMan.

Pretty much everyone I met and talked to was having a great time with both the tournament and the game, which makes all the bickering about what needs to be “fixed” in MvC3 that you see on the Internet all the more funny.

- Running SF4 and MvC3 pools simultaneously is the stupidest thing ever. At least half the delays in all of the pools were due to people registered in both games and having to bounce back and forth between them.

Yipes absolutely loves seeing Sentinel lay on the hurt. Like, I saw him glance at a TV as he was walking by, and the moment a Sent on the screen pops XF3 and connects a launcher Yipes just stops in his tracks and starts dancing, lol.

^these things. Cheers for your C&P’d experience Sixfortyfive - definitely not a TLDR.

Yeah I’m new too, but Combofiend is just a pleasure to watch. I have work in 5 hours, but I’m not going to sleep. Can’t WAIT to see Fiend play Wong.

Tanion · March 14, 2011, 6:37am

That Spencer is so amazing… Bionic Arm out of the level 3… SUCK IT lolololol

Tanion · March 14, 2011, 6:53am

Wow… losing to Beacon Trap. I mean… the slowest special projectile in the god damn game LOL.

Doctrine_Dark · March 14, 2011, 6:53am

Nasty comeback by J.Wong there.

Flashy_Nights · March 14, 2011, 7:15am

Combofiend!!!

jak_d_ripr · March 14, 2011, 7:18am

Combofiend, congrats to combofiend. As much as I believe this game has character variety, I never in my life imagine a spencer winning a major, good shit. Hype ass tourney, so glad I tuned in.

janoDX · March 14, 2011, 7:23am

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing… Best MvC3 matches for the forever… That was a class from 2 amazing fighters, CONGRATS CONBOFIEND!..

Flashy_Nights · March 14, 2011, 7:24am

Hope this gets the community to actually explore the game more.

and end this bullsh8t “No ones on Jwongs level only he can win a major with out a Sentinel or D. Jean Grey.”

business · March 14, 2011, 7:51am

Combofiend the bionic god at FR.

great stream as always. Glad spooky was able to get in all the top 16’s this time. None of the matches disappointed.

Mr.X · March 14, 2011, 7:54am

Shit was too hype

jak_d_ripr · March 14, 2011, 7:58am

suuure you did. lol, just playing, but on a serious note, Im probably asking too much but I hope this makes people stop bitching bout sent and phoenix and just learn to play the damn game.

Sick tourney, only disappointment for me was flashmetriod, I was hoping he would go farther but he didn’t even make top 16. Hopefully he does better next time. Also was it just me or did andre crack? He made it so high up, then got swept.

Overall very good stream, can’t wait to see the MM that went down after hours.

@Kidd: It isn’t up yet, should be uploaded sometime next week by sp00ky.

Sick final gz to combofiend, but I still think phoenix will be a huge problem in the future even if she has weakness. It just doesnt feel right people not using supers and running away for 50 segs because the character is insta-loss if you kill her and dont happen to hit a random super. The match just becomes an stupid gamble if she is in one team, and I personally hate it.

Tron assist is extremely good but not in the same way, very good tournament and sick finals both in SSFIV and mvc3.
