Just so you know.
Because I can.

If anyone is selling or spots a T.E stick online may they be as nice to send me a pm please. I’m in desperate need of one. I miss fighting games.
Thanks! Didn’t know about Gamefrog. We will definitely keep in touch and support your events whenever possible. NC UNITE!
Also, if anyone needs some digital flyer designs to promote and low, low prices, I’m a freelance graphic designer. (http://www.behance.net/shypsicreative)
All for the cause!
So, that thing on Dec 2…what is it? Is it a tournament or casual play? Reading the digital flyer, it sounds like a meet and greet. Like I’m expecting there to be finger foods and tea.
Casual play.
I agree with the Wesker part. I think he’s a good anchor, but I like him better first or second. His assist is awesome, but its not an assist od want my anchor to have.
It’s all going to depend on how your team is set up. If your second character isn’t overly dependent on an assist and also has an assist your point character benefits from, anchor Wesker works.
He works as an anchor anytime, I just think there are better anchors. It’s nice to have an assist for your second character regardless of whether or not they suck without assists, and there are characters that provide that and can still be a good anchor.
You could run wesker second and just XF2 him with an assist. Minus glasses, thats XF3 anyway lol. I just like XF3 Wesker cause his teleports and shit are so god damn fast.
Thanks to Erik and Blake last night, got my DAWNTAY back. Was getting tired of running that paper ninja anyway, as fun as he is.
Strider: ha ha, Wesker, how do you like my reset technology, I’ve already opened you up 3 times and this fourth shall be your demise!
Wesker: … ABCS BBCS gunshot Super. You mean nothing to me.
Strider: death explosion from full health
That was almost accurate. It’s more like
Wesker: ABCS BBC (Dead Strider) Whiff S. Dammit.
At the end of the second combo just DHC to something…second combo should kill anyone in the cast. I’m currently doing
blah blah blah, S,MMHS,land,virgil assist~214S(make it appear),3H,623H,236H,6HS,j.MMHS,(strange assist,214S,S,HS)* only if strange is still useable. This does like 500-550k or something weak as hell. Second time I end with Super>DHC to swords loop 2C,6C,214B,swords,loop,blah blah ender…since I only play in matches I don’t know how much this does because they always die before I finish it.
But still Strider’s gotta open you up twice or I gotta start with like 2 meter :(, to kill.
Glad I could help out lol Had a lot of fun figuring out some team construction with the characters I’m using. KOF was a lot of fun too, think I may get into that series again, but I want Yamazaki damn it!
BTW Wesker works in any situation. On point he gets tons of mix-up options with assists as well as a guaranteed clean start. When he’s coming in second you get the ability to use his assist as well as get him in safely with “XF lvl 1” through a DHC. And as an anchor he’s a flot out beast because of XF lvl 4. He’s simply the best character in the game as of now.
Yeah I was enjoying trying all my random team ideas. I think out of the new character, strider, vergil, and firebrand are the most fun to play. Also good to see my level 4 instant frank setup worked, although I’m ass with Frank.
The only godlike Frank I know of is the Tank.

Good shit, that’s how we post a tournament! :lol:
@ED
Why are you hosting a tournament on the same day as ReSe? With only like a 5 day heads up? The turnout will be pretty low.
GGs last night guys. Working on my team construction now. I think Wesker/Vergil/Doom is strong, but I would rather play a team centered around Vergil. I also think that Wesker still has matchup problems in Ultimate, it’s just going to take a little longer for people to develop their gameplan versus him.
Which match ups do you think are hard for Wesker? I don’t think anyone just outright counters him but admittedly I do find certain characters tough to deal with. I’m running Wesker/Dormammu/Doom and whenever I fight against character that I consider tough for Wesker I just switch my order to Dormammu/Wesker/Doom. That second order isn’t as optimal which is why I only switch to it based on match ups but luckily I feel my team can be played effectively in any order. Also you should have consulted us before changing your name. If you come out to another EZ I’m signing you up as TitaniumBeast, with or without your consent, hehe.
lol so that finally went through. I got tired of my old name and I like this one quite a bit, actually.
With Wesker, specifically teams that are built to zone and restrict assist usage hurt him. Erik’s Nemesis, backed with Hidden Missiles, was extremely annoying for me to deal with. Wesker relies on projectile assists to get in on zoning characters, but Nemesis can really prevent you from doing that. At far range, an errant assist call can get rocketed to death, whereas close up his tentacle attacks keep you from even getting your assist out in the first place. That stuff alone isn’t a big deal, but when backed up with an assist like Hidden Missiles, which just screws over Wesker’s mobility options, it feels like a really uphill battle. Not impossible or anything, just frustrating. I’m betting OJ’s old Sentinel/Doom combo would be able to do something similar. I also think he still has a hard time with Zero, though the Buster nerfs go a long way towards making that matchup much more tolerable, provided you have a good beam assist.
This is part of why I’m more interested in a Vergil centric team right now. Vergil doesn’t have the same problems that Wesker has as far as interacting with his opponent and controlling space, you simply have to deal with the unsafe nature of his attacks, which can be covered with assists or negated completely by simply fighting in Devil Trigger. You just have to know exactly what you’re doing at almost all times with Vergil, he’s not a typical Marvel character.
