So James and I are probably going to ECT in June instead of CEO. The date works out better, and it’s much closer (within driving distance).
lol so much for Zero being a battery.
You can check with Darklightjg1 for directions. We meet at the Scott Hall dorms to play every Saturday.
A MvC3 character who can kill someone with a bunch of meter?!!! YOU DON’T SAY!
Astounding…truly amazing and revolutionary…
I’d be more scared if it were like Magneto and he built up all the meter during the same combo. Too bad, Sogenmu herp derp.
Gravity Cheese?
There’s a lot of things that I don’t like about that Zero combo that make me think it’s not gonna see much use in actual play. It’s even further evidence that Zero by himself isn’t very happy about his situation.
MK9 might not pan out as a competitive game in the long run, but that shit is entertaining to those who followed the storyline in the past. It might be the best single player fighting game I’ve ever played; story mode is really epic.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
…You are DEFEATED!
There are too many characters I wanna pick up in Marvel. I need to decide on one team and just hammer it out.
Frission - historically DreamTR had run the tournament save for the one year and that was just what it was always called. Since he’s in TN now and is running it again, he kept the name so people would recognize it.
Alice-chan - appreciate the love, and yeah I realized ceo would be the first after I made my posts :-P. Hopefully you can come kick it in TN before too long.
Fixed.
And I have the exact same problem. I can’t just play one team with 3 characters.
In about a year, 80% of tourney teams will be Mag/Sent/Phoenix anyway, so pretty much your team picks are going to be decided for you.
Yo…random question…did people play SFEX3? If so, why did they stop? I’m just asking b/c I honestly don’t know the answer and it was before my time in competitive gaming.
EDIT: THIS… [media=youtube]x0R1SbwVoN4[/media]
I must agree Matt, that story mode is epic as hell. I hope that the competitive aspects of the game itself will be as fun and entertaining. I had the most terrible time finding a match online, worse than MvC3 ranked quick matches.
PS Fun games at Jon’s tonight. If anyone has nothing to do Friday night and would rather not drive down to Fayetteville then my place is open.
Regarding Zero I still feel he is a top 5 character. His weakness is his damage and health but he makes up for it by having so many good match ups. Actually I can’t think of a single bad match up for him outside of Phoenix.
Also am I the only person who didn’t buy MK? I was just genuinely not interested in the game. Enhanced moves seem entirely pointless when compared to X-Ray attacks and I never liked the idea of combo breakers. I’ll wait to see how the game holds up in tournaments before jumping on the bandwagon. Actually somebody should bring a copy to the next Fayetteville session.
If you mean the game had a competitive scene, then no. But if you ever want to play, EX3 is actually one of my favorite FGs, so I’m always down.
EX3 is probably one of the most underrated FGs ever. It’s astonishing how much people shit on the game, especially considering most of the biggest critics of the game have never even played it in their lives.
cool, I always used to play it when I was younger and now that I’ve seen it from a competitive scene, I was like, there doesn’t seem to be anything incredibly broken to not make people wanna play. V.Rosso looks annoying with the mixups and maybe tagging since it seems like it has some degree of invincibility but that’s about it.
The game is actually really balanced as well.
Rosso is definitely tops, but he has sub-par defense that leaves with some bad match-ups against chars that can keep him out.
The only low-tier characters are like Jack, Sakura, Nanase, and Claw but they can definitely compete. Claw is kinda borked since his gameplay style doesn’t really work and he has no flipkick but he still has good normals.
Only real nonsense in the game is with some of the Critical Parade exploits but you won’t see that too often in play. Tag combos can get really cheesy too, and one of the very few complaints I have about the game is that the tag animation gives you way too much invincibility but sloppy tags are still very punishable.
IHX is far and away the best EX player I’ve seen, and his match vids really show off all the things you can do in the game:

Best source of info in English is from Shinjigohan, pretty much the master of all info in every EX game–

Zero can’t combo off of his airthrow without an OTG assist. This is HUGE in this game. By himself, he doesn’t have a real answer to up-back. As far as bad matchups are concerned, Wesker and Dante seem pretty bad. Dante outranges everything he does, and Wesker can just run and shoot all day.
Yeah that full combo assumes you didn’t use an assist to get a hit, but 2 Sougenmou reps still kills the other characters (does like 1.1 mil or so). I don’t know how reliable it is yet so I can’t say much else but atleast it looks awesome lol.
Dante doesn’t really outrange Zero. Wesker also, in my experience, has never given me a particularly hard time as Zero. They can run their usual stuff but at the same time Zero can as well in these matchups… I’d say they are even.
In my experience, annoying characters for Zero to fight are like… Sent (can meet Zero air to air and Zero can’t run his normal balls to the wall rushdown, plus sent kills him in one combo off random hit) and Phoenix (top of the screen throwing fireballs… how the hell do you hit her without Jam Session?)
Matches at Samurais’s were a lot of fun last night. I will definatley be switching up my team (trading out iron man for tron). I started this game with my team being wesker/dorm/tron now I’m back to my original team. I need something against rush down (Samurais zero is no joke!).
I played a LOT against OJs (great player, great matches!) phoenix. And while I was able to win a good amount of games and was able to use/develop some good anti phoenix technology - I still hate phoenix. Whether she is ‘broken’ or not is up for debate and really can’t be said right now, but what CAN be said is that fighting phoenix is boring, annoying, and not fun. The same can be said about watching phoenix win, and beating phoenix.
I feel like fighting against phoenix is a crap shoot, which to me has no place in a fighting game. The person who outplays the other should win, but phoenix is just random. You know what they are going to do, you know how to defend against it, yet it’s still effective.
Dorm rapes phoenix on entrance. Get 3 bars and snap her in or kill the opposing character to get her in and then you can just chip her out without a problem.
