Random question but what is there to care about good Marvel players? Unless you care about watching and waiting for:
Something random to happen
Waiting for someone to make a mistake and have the opponent and capitalize off of it and kill the entire team.
Sorry but in my opinion, Marvel is damn near dead here. I mean seriously, no one here is leveling up like that. We don’t have but ONE player that we consider to be the next up and comer (Dann), those that are beasts at the game already aren’t even playing it except for recently to get ready for an out of town tournament. Now wether or not that sparked the fire to have them start playing more and get better I don’t know, but I want to say that Marvel isn’t even going to be at the next EVO, but SFIV is…so when the world stage is set and the best of the best are going, do people want to recognize Seattle for a washed up game that has bewittled it’s depth to a mere 6 characters, 2 teams, and a dash of random with a slice of luck just to be beastly at it? I’d rather have Seattle be known for being beasts at SFIV.
In the end, Marvel is a beaten horse that needs to be shot and turned into some fucking glue to help put up the SFIV posters at all the gamestops around the country when that game gets released.
Which brings up my next random bit of info:
People are failing to realize that we have the people here to make Seattle known for this game, we have 3 people that can and do teach people shit and help the rest of the community to be better players (Cole, Mandel, Mickey) I’ve already seen it with my own 2 eyes that people are getting dangerously good at an alarming rate. Yeah it involves driving to Tacoma, but it’s like this. You want to be good you pay your dues to be good. There’s even a less excuse to play now that GW’s has it, but until the tournaments start being held there. There’s only one place for people to put their money where their mouth is and that’s at the ranbats down at Narrows.
Plus if this game makes me swallow my pride and actually set foot in that run down piece of shit ass town, then what’s everyone else’s excuse.
Marvels coming out on 360, so it may be coming back to life.
Although I have said myself a number of times that I feel like Marvel has been conquered. It feels like it has been pushed to its limits, and the tiers are set, not just in terms of characters, but in skill level and the kind of play and execution required to win. I still love to play it, but something will have to change if it is ever going to evolve.
But the chances for that happening have never been higher then now…
I’m not gonna use this thread for why I don’t play/can’t stand Marvel anymore, but Frank’s right, it is a six character, three team game. That’s not even exactly why I can’t stand it anymore. But anyway besides that, I just hope people give SFIV a chance when it comes out on console.
I am just glad that Jamie randomly talks shit off topic about Mike now, it seems like he changed his man-crush from always trying to get my attention by speaking my name out, to Mike’s.
I like how you’re obsessed with bitching about me now. Just stop, Julian. I spent fifteen freaking minutes on my knees apologizing to you on MSN, and you spit in my face. You have no right to be talkin shit, man. Real talk.
dude stop cluttering up the SFIV thread with your drama and pointless rants towards people Seriously, if needed I’ll start up a shit talking thread so you can go and enjoy eternal bliss in there for all the hell you want. It’s been the same cycle the past few pages:
Take a stab at someone
someone flashes on you
you appologize or make another remark
other people jump in
you appologize or “take the high road”
then it all starts over again.
back on topic:
For those going to Narrow’s/GW’s where ever, I need soemone to remind where people fall when they get hit with psycho crusher and if it’s different depending on regular or EX. If things go the way I think they’ll do I’ve got some pretty spiffy tricks up my sleeve next tournament.
With regards to Marvel, even with those “six characters and three teams”, the game is still more varied than most fighting games out there. Same shit is going to happen with SFIV once all the scrubs get weeded out when they realize they can’t cut it against people with skill, execution, and talent. IMO that is the way it should be. Fighting games are not for people looking for a hug fest, it’s about beating the shit out of the other opponent. The prime example being marvel, where all things equal the better player wins. Yes, that includes the first mofo to get hit losing the match. Marvel is brutality at its finest in video game form.
Sorry, just had to put that out there. This talk of marvel “dying” irks me a bit. Marvel isn’t going anywhere.
I usually only interview peeps/record matches on MONDAY NIGHT FIGHTS! The next people I wanna interview are Krazy Korean Frank and the man, the legend himself, Jason Cole.
So yeah, if you see me with the camera, and you want your match recorded/want an interview just let me know!
sorry pablo but i’m going to have to disagree with you on this.
How is this game going to be more varied when all the good players are doing the same shit:
This is high level play right here now:
Magnus: Go for infinite mix up once or twice
Storm: Run like hell, hailstorm for cheese, short short lightning attack to DHC
Sentinel: beam fly unfly beam fly unfly beam they sj you sj frying pan, or sj short fly short fierce commando/magnus rocket punch. you’re over their head fly stomp unfly stomp fly stomp unfly stomp fly unblockable HSF in corner to launch 1 2 3 4 rocket punch fierce roundhouse go for unblockable again.
cable: get meter gun and grenades see an opening AHVBX3
commando/clop/psylocke: press assist button accordingly to schedule.
if you run down all the top players this is what they are ALL trying to do. That’s not variety. Like I can’t see how so many people around here still enjoy the game. I can’t even beleive I enjoyed the game for so long!
Speaking of Bison Frank, the other day I was playing against a Bison w/ Ryu, and I was able to hurricane kick (forward version) through his EX psycho crusher. Ugly, huh? I was like WTF when I saw it.
That’s like when my brother did Bison’s slide underneath on the ground hurricane kick. It’s nasty cause his upper body just flies right through those meaty legs…
Right, but in comparison to other games there is tons of shit going on. You just described why people still enjoy the game even if its only using top tier. Compare it to something like an ST match between Gief vs Guile or Chun vs Chun in 3S and Marvel comes across like some next level shit.
I haven’t plateaued at the game, and neither have many seattle/NW players. All I am saying is that if there are people still willing to play the game, it’s not dead. I refuse let down Brian MA.
