LOL didn’t see that coming.
I can tell you don’t even have a Sean or ever placed anywhere as high at Evo in 3S as I did. But cool.
^ My body is ready, gotta love the FGC!
Also who doesn’t like MAHVEL?

I’m all for competition but who the fuck wants to spend years of their lives studying a videogame just to be barely competent at it
What I think of Marvel: “Alright cool Marvel! The match has star-oh wait, the match…just ended”
HEY, HEY JESUS:

How hard is it to understand that work is work and play is play? For those who are old enough and have ever had a job in their life, what person likes to relax to more work?
I entered fighting games on a more serious level with vanilla mvc3. I’ve since then picked up ttt2, and i have kinda dropped it because if i want to have half a chance against my friend balltapper above, i would have to spend all my waking hours for months learning every mechanic, my characters, his characters, and frame data(which the game doesn’t give), and whatever else their is. Then i would have to up my execution and reaction speeds.
In marvel, i can learn a characters combos, resets, mixups, and everything else in one day if i want to spend that time, which isn’t unreasonable, and it doesn’t require a ridiculous level of execution. It is all matchup and neutral game. I don’t like how a whole team can get blown up because of the strength of incoming mixups, XFactor, TAC infinites, and the other flaws of the game, but the general neutral game is very fun.
The game has it’s flaws, but i deal with them because either way it’s fun to me. And this isn’t to say ttt2 isn’t fun, or ssf4, or other fighting games, but i know that it’s much more fun to have a roughly even match rather then to get beaten without a chance over and over, and i won’t spend all my free time training to make it more fun.
To be fair it doesn’t take super long to pick up and play any new game now more than ever games are easy to get into. It may take a week or two max to at least know enough to enjoy a game semi competitively.
I say this because the info on all games nowadays is shared thanks to the interwebz. People share tech and strategies. So if people can’t learn games nowadays its just laziness.
Couldnt watch with audio at the moment but the slow zoom on that guys face fucking killed me
I will say this, if you never got into tekken, ttt2 will take forever to get good at.
Another main reason i like marvel is that you can get real creative with it. Fruitsy at evo 2012 showed how to win with a ghandi approach lol. This evo will be injustices first, and i don’t expect to see anything new outta the game that i haven’t seen yet. Marvel, it’s a coinflip, somebody could have found something unique to save for evo or not, but it’s exciting to watch in that aspect, and new tech can be carried over into your own gameplay, or change what you have to deal with.
So far marvel has been an ever evolving game, where ssf4 is always the same at its core. I guess the best way to say this is, how many times can you watch the same movie over and over?
Same reason people played (and watched) Marvel vs. Capcom 2. The two games may be mechanically different, but both still have the same high stress/pressure associated with them that brings in alot of hype. Also, on a related note, unblockables, infinites and glitches were also in older games (such as, once again, Marvel vs. Capcom 2) and these were more or less accepted by the community since oftentimes, they did push the metagame forward - they’re simply part of playing a fighting game competitively.
That’s not what i said. I was merely speaking truth. Game quality has fuck all to do with it making it into the competitive scene. It having a scene has everything to do with it making it into the competitive scene, whether the game is good or not, whether people actually like the game or not. Scene dictates everything.
Lol archer2.0(theLORDisJESUS) is back to flame up SRK with his superior ‘3s, cvs2, mvc2 >>> anything new’ logic, after multiple bans. Anyone that disagrees with him is a scrub/09er/illogical satanist thats a part of the new world FGC conspiracy to dethrone the old skillful games for the advancement of scrub catering games (post 09 capcom games according to him).
isnt this like your 4th acct? i wonder how long this account will last hmm?
Not even. A week or 2 max. The damage is so high in tt2 that youre never dead until you’re dead. Which can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it.
I ask this question all the time and I endure some smug local crowd that derp me out with TOD vortexes like they earned the mix up. I think the thing with Marvel is it’s just so damn fun when things go right. Really it’s shooting from the hip with bazookas and FGC needs to get off it’s “adapt don’t nerf” dick riding cop out and start embracing nerfs that GIVE back depth to a game by not invalidating options (like why the fuck does zero do more dmg than Hulk for a TOD when his whole design screams he should be doing resets because he’s a fucking mix up character with movement)
Man, that Jwong vs PR Balrog comback was sick. And I don’t mean that as some sort of complement either, I mean that makes me feel physically ill.
Night, meet Day. MvC2 was certainly no slouch in the bullshit department, but at least this comeback made me feel impressed rather than put my face in two palms.
One of the characters i was using in ttt2 is lee, who has a movelist of 80-something. of course 1 and 1,1 are listed as two different moves, but you have to learn not only the moves your opponent has, but what is or isn’t punishable, what has counter hit properties (the 1,1 strings second hit can have a crumple effect on counter hit, and be unsafe on block), crumple combos, solo combos, tag-in combos, cross assault combos, wall carry combos, wall-hit combos, how to break throws (reaction to that shit is hard), throws that look like other throws… i can keep this going if you want.
You can get a few wins with some horrible choice hopkicks that get lucky (combo system isn’t hard), but to play the game at a somewhat competitive level, you won’t get their in a week or two. This is of course my experience and it’s the first tekken game that i even bothered to hit the move list in.
Whats wrong with trying to be sponsored? Going to majors isn’t cheap for some in the FGC and a good sponsor can really help out with that.
People play UMVC3 because the high stakes risk and offense is what makes it fun. That and who wouldn’t want the opportunity to play as the walking bag of testosterone alpha male known as Mike Haggar and put him on the same team as a giant robot and a woman who becomes more powerful when she dies?
Because finding broke cheap luck-based bs and then getting smashed by said bs or getting cheap shameful wins from it is so much fun.
