why would you live at home of all places
so are we having a marvel night on tuesday?
I hate to bail, but im not gonna be able to make it to marvel room. Add my xbl GT we’ll play online sometime.
Miscellaneous Information and Needs for “Mahvel Room”:
Check-In: Kraig and I will be checking in that day to get a jump on setup and scoping out the lay of the land. People can start showing up as early as 7:30pm (Feb 18th). My number will be posted in a bit so that peeps can find out what the room number is as we draw closer, which leads to…
Invites: Given space/venue limitations we can’t have random attendees. So in order to keep track of all who are going to show up at any point during the 2 days we are there all attendees MUST POST in this forum (Thank you Kraig,Tim and Brian!), or call/text me @ 617-755-3830 by Feb. 16th, no exceptions.
It is vital to do so because it allows me to get an idea of how many setups, drinks/food runs, space etc. we will need to get through the weekend, to ensure everyone has a really good time. Now onto…
Setups: Self-explanatory, just tell me what you are bringing (if anything). I taken notice of anything posted in the last 24 hrs, anything prior please re-post and your contribution will be recorded. If you say you are bringing something, just know you are being counted on to do so, no excuses.
If anyone can contribute smaller things like snacks, sodas, energy drinks (i love you long time) etc. that would be HUGE as well. My budget for this unfortunately didn’t allow for food and drink
Staying Over: More than welcome to do so since the room accomodates sleeping arrangements for 5 people comfortably, I personally would only feel comfortable doubling that at a maximum, so 10 people in total. This could change if the room is smaller than anticipated, but again please let me know if you have intentions of staying over 1 night, or 2 nights.
Food/Drink: Covered a little bit of this earlier, but I’m counting on a community effort to help in this area. I don’t give a fuck if all you can bring is leftover kool-aid in a sandwich baggy, you are helping everyone out and it’s greatly appreciated. Ordering out is expensive so to bridge the gap snack food/drink of every variety is incredibly important to bridge the gap between those times and save some cash.
Games: This is NOT a strictly Marvel event, but Marvel focus. I WANT people to bring all of the niche titles they can (im thinkin of hitting NYC to buy Arcana Heart 3 for christ sake, Tim where my number at foo =p?). I think this is as important as anything previously mentioned because this is what will drive the weekend in between Marvel sessions. Someone please find a copy of JoJo and Powerstone 1/2 please!! So dust those gems off, and bring those emulators people along with any popular titles like BB and SSF4!
2 more I promise!
Transportation: I have no problem picking people up or dropping them off IF they need a ride. Yet acting out of the kindness of my own heart seldom fills my gas tank so I will ask for gas money since gas prices are so damn high right now (seriously wtf!). I’m reasonable and cognizant of the fact people don’t always roll with wads of cash so we can work something out regardless.
Anyway also let me know if transportation is an issue. I’ll ask others with vehicles as well please be open to doing the same and offer assistance to other would-be attendees.
Weekend Tournaments: Lastly, once we get a definite head count I can start formulating some brackets, prize structure for the $1 tournaments we will be holding that weekend. I won’t limit it to Marvel either, if there is an outcry for another game that we can all agree on prior to the 18th. Thinking about making one prize a sponsored entry fee to Souper Bowl Tournament Sunday 20th. Speaking of which…
I would hope that once the weekend is wrapping up Sunday 20th, many of you will take the training and knowledge gained from the crack session and apply it at the Souper Bowl Tournament that afternoon! Really no excuse to pass on the opportunity, unless you hate Marvel, but there is still SSF4 running that day too. I believe the Marvel(correct me if wrong Tom) entry fee is only a 5 spot!
Thanks for reading all the info, it may seem unnecessary to some im sure, but you have to cover all bases to acheive the type of success you want, tournament or otherwise. Much appreciation HSIEN-KO, HSIEN-KO, HSIEN-KO, HSIEN-KO!!!
Tuesday might happen, I personally think especially after last night, that people are going to need some time to get a hang of their characters. For example Hsien-ko, haggar, phoenix, taskmaster felt/looked pretty ass last night even though they probably aren’t. And Didn’t “discover” x-23 command throw and teleport attack options until the end of the night which changed her whole game. If enough people want it though be happy to hold a pre-marvel room SaltMines this tuesday. Brian fuck yo Dormammu, Kraig fuck yo sentinel (spencer and haggar get raped), Tim fuck Dante…Hulk is beast mode, wait till he hits the lab…thank you Capcom for CHARGE-LESS GAMMA CHARGE!!!
On a side note that BradyGames guide looks VERY in-depth. Combos (good ones), frame data(startup-recovery frames…what?!), normal attacks-special move individual usage breakdown, assist types w/frame data, overview of play style, Magic Series Archtypes, strategy for air-to-air and ground based fighting…It’s nuts and totally geared to a more serious player it seems.
Capcom teaching the rest how to do it right…
Really liek anyones surprise, i dotn even know who you are!
Im sorry im being rude…i just find it funny liek you were slightly expected and never EVER come to slatmines or any NH player things
Again not trying to be a D this comment just made me LOL
We only go up from here, keep in contact man via text ill be around all weekend maybe we can do saturday liek we discussed ? 
just cause sentinel was really the only character I needed to beat up your little pixie teams (lvl 3 x-factor sentinel is stuuuuuupid good) is no reason to hate on him, lol. sentinel v hulk is hilarious and awesome though. loving some of the heavy hitters in this game. I think you’ll enjoy some hulk action and you were already using the damn wave assist really well. spencer did have some issues but i’m really liking his moveset, super, and the fact that he oozes style for me (dreads notwithstanding–get a haircut and some aviator glasses you bum!). I did a magic series > launcher > air series > b grapple follow up to another grapple and i was loving it so once i get that grapple OTG going i think the spencer with sentinel assist is going to be lots of fun for me. haggar… yeah, i need some time with him. he’ll need assist coverage for sure but he’s still a possibility. lariat assist would really help spencer (and sentinel) too but i may need a pressure or beam character like a magneto or a ryu to round out the team.
laurence, the wolvie action was getting hot and I think you’ll feel much better about x-23 when you start using her hops as the 3-way mixup. i think a character like hsien-ko could really be useful to bring some higher HP to the team (and her hypers and that pendulum assist look really good). maybe pendulum assist > beserker claw (crossup) for free mixup into full combo?
brian, keep playing dorm. he’s clearly a good character and he fits your style well. also, chun is much better than legs > hyper and you are just robbing yourself of damage for not doing her magic series. it was cool to see her be able to combo up out of it into aerial exchange (AE) though.
tim, you will be really dangerous with your characters once you know what’s up and your team is really strong. wesker teleports and counters + dante jam session assist + trish traps is both absurd pressure and the ability to make your opponent hurt themselves.
Agreed, once I know armor properties and the actual movelist i’ll be better suited to more consistently making sentinel a walking combo video waiting to happen. Despite those short-comings and having no real third character on my team the whole night I still joyfully murdered all competitors mercilessly…gonna get ugly with training mode.
On Wolverine I really dont think that he is going to be effective at high level because peeps wont know how to combat the beserker slash for a while. Once they catch on wolvie has ZERO mix-up unless he has assist help…Keits has mentioned this numerous times in the vids and hands-on time. The dive kick use to be an overhead, but is no longer so his options are limited other than recklessly looking for beserker slash. Aside from that he is crazy fun to play and will enjoy him before I inevitably take him off point.
X-23 on the other hand looks way more promising and has good mix-up potential with that dash/teleport and the various atk options out of each. No idea what combos out of her command grab and her lvl 3 invisibility has broken potential if it can be utilized effectively. Other than that I was regularly punished last night whenever ANY of her specials were blocked, which is really bad given her “one combo=death” HP in this game.
Hulk will be apart of any team I make. He is exactly what I was hoping for and leagues above MvC2 rendition. Not certain of his Magic Series on the ground, but in the air it is vastly improved with only Fierce punch and Exchange causing flying screen. In MvC2 you could only get more than 3 hits in an air combo in the corner and with good timing since his strong atks caused too much knock back in air. Gamma Crush is also projectile invincible (suck it Dormammu) upon activation. Gamma Wave is PRO.
Brian you MUST keep playing Dormammu, fits you almost too well =p. Insanely Lame and ridiculous chip dmg! Chun, agree with Kraig need to utilize her mach 5 air dash way more for cross ups with your assist to open up the opponent…too much lightning leg. She is the complete opposite of what you normally play, but maybe thats why you like her! Not sure if she has her air super from Tatsonoku but in that game you could simply do cr. L, M, H Spinning Bird kick->Air super for big dmg. Just XFactor into OTG Kikosho and you are good to go. Speaking of which using Xfactor later might benefit you more than trying to kill off one character with one combo. You used it a lot to kill X-23(my worst character last night) and left Wolvie, Hulk free…Learn that Dormammu hand charge.
Sentinel…too good. Wesker, already broken. Dante=dedication and Trish is just annoying, the recovery on her normals makes her fodder for fast characters it seems. All speculative at this point but love it!
Brian we playin tomorrow no doubt.
What do you men magic series, i think that the BnB combo does quite a bit of damage, and when i can control the assists and shit it could prob kill with Xfactor
Magic Series at its most basic is capcom’s system in mvc for cancelling weaker normal attacks into equal or stronger normal attacks…with a couple caveats:
-You can’t go from strong attacks to weak attacks
-In regards to cancelling to attacks of equal strength, only cancelling punches into kicks will work not vice versa.
Basic magic series with someone like strider would be:
LP, LK, MP, MK, HP, HK
Not all would connect due to pushback, but you can cancel into all of them.
Every character has a different type of “magic series” for instance guile in MvC2 had a “weak-to-strong” magic series and aforementioned strider had a “zig-zag” magic series. Not every character follows the dial a combo formula basically. So just learn what each can do. Hope that helps.:china:
On another note, everyone calls each magic series a different name but the concepts are the same.
so are you guys getting together again? i’m free tonight so i wouldn’t mind playing some marvel… 
call assist > cross up jump attack > Lightning Legs xx hyper will not be a BnB, Brian. Now, I didn’t play any Chun but I’m fairly certain that, if she still plays like other games, you could do something like:
call assist > tri-jump mixup > cr.L st.M H xx Up kicks (two hits i think?) > sj. > M M H xx Legs > down B xx legs > j. M H > j. M M H S for big meter build, good damage, and flying screen knockdown.
not saying that this 1) actually works or 2) you should already know it, but i’m sure combos like this are gonna be more akin to her BnB.
o.O a comment like this makes me not want to play the game, haha. that sounds overwhelming. i like sf’s 4-5 move combos.
