Oh how I envy you.
Spoiler
Why does Thor lose so badly to sword normals?
Oh, I’m sorry. I’m a piece of shit for caring about someone.
Call Spooky.
lol Wolverine has a berserker rage cr.H infinite. Jab infinites too. Gold Iron Man…and Red Venom…yuck
We werent playing foot dai and I had 3 servbots lol
st LK -> Karakusa?
Assuming AE works the same way with kara-ing shit like in 3S anyway. I refuse to play her in AE. It’s not the same. D:
u know it kills me when people talk about balance in FG’s. none of the shit that we play is even remotely balance. its all about what you like.
Marvel 1’s definitely more broken than MvC2. Colossus flying in and leading to a TOD, Gold War Machine, Variable Crossovers; the game is a gold mine of cheap. I don’t know what people are smoking when they call it balanced. 
Ah, I don’t know squat about that game. Then again, that game was before my time.
Like I said, someone is pissed at me for bringing up that nobody is stopping talking about her. Can’t we talk about something else? She insulted everybody and left. That’s it.
yes. chris benefits from dante and strider
Dante benefits from strider
strider benefits from XF3 and helps out the 2
that’s literary how this game works
The only real balance is games where there is only one playable character. It’s always the trying to overcome the powers thing that I liked about fighting games the most.
MVC1 was pretty broken, but it was more so because the game mechanics were literally broken.
Yeah alot of good guys to choose from and I kinda wanna go back to a spiderman team.
not only that wolverine was 10 times more retarded

Ace has such a hard on for Thor he listed him twice

also other really good shells imo are
Wesker/Strider
Doom/Ammy
Since a bunch of people made reaction statements about our new Sigma overlord taking over the thread, I guess I will too.
I was reading the remaining pages of the stream thread when I noticed the avatar next to a new OTT thread title. Two things came to mind. Either:
- Diek closed the old thread to have better control over our nonsense.
or - Ace said “fuck this place” and decided to impersonate a mod in an effort to get burned.
I had a little mental “lol” at the second one. I checked who made the last post and verified #1. Common sense is an alright thing to have. 
Yeah, Vanilla Wolvie has nothing on this…demon lol. The game engine is what really pushes him over the edge, though. Assists make him a threat anywhere on screen, and his infinite ensures that you’re dead if he touches you.
Well Dante/Strider is really strong for the same reason Vergil/Strider and Wesker/Strider are really strong. At any moment anywhere on the screen Dante can put you in a 50/50. The only way to stop it is too somehow hit them both. What makes it better than Vergil/Strider is that Dante doesn’t need XF to confirm off it. If he expects the Vajra to hit he can get Volcano into shot loops and break 750k meter positive for one bar if the Dante player reacts late he can still get cold shower xx prop shredder and easily break 550k. Dante also still has arguable the best neutral game in Ultimate, nigga does everything besides win the up-close normal fight because while his swords have great range and great active frames they have fairly slow start-up frames. Dante also builds mad meter which means Strider anchor will come in and wreak shit. Dante is also one of the best seconds since he has a universally great DHC in Million Dollars (which also leads to retarded THC gimmicks similar to the Doom/Ammy stuff), a safe DHC in DT, TAC infinite and to top it all off dude has arguable the best assist in the game in Jam Session.
Viper/Trish imo is probably the most underrated retarded-ness that nobody is using. When I played Viper/Trish/Dante in vanilla I felt it was the second best team next to Dante/Haggar/Phoenix. Basically if you get touched you just lose. It is slightly less dumb in Ulitmate do to the hitstun scaling on assist and Dante nerfs but it is still godlike. Lets say you grab a character at the start of the round with Viper, basic combo DHC into Round Harvest, raw tag into Dante jump up Hammer, Volcano xx Beehive x2 xx Million Dollars does 1.07mil using that one bar. Viper gets guaranteed (unless Sentinel or Morrigan with 3 bars) Focus Attack unblockables because of Round Harvest, raw rag Viper, Focus and call Jam Session. With the BKF combo she can break 850k meter positive which leads to TOD because Round Harvest raw tag into Dante etc. If you feel Viper has a bad opening gambit matchup (Magneto or Wolverine or something) you could always start Trish since she has more mobility get a hit with Trish do the RDK extension with Seismo assist, Round Harvest, raw tag Viper, Focus call Dante profit. Then you get another unblockable on the incoming character. Dante anchor is also great since he is one of the best solo characters. I picked this team back up and it is my official second team now because I still think it is end-game as fuck.
Yay for full team breakdowns.
It’s only balanced when my character is good.
But really, I believe there are different degrees of balance that people often forget about. There’s the “boring” balance, which is similar to what DJ said in that every character plays the same/similarly and a lack of variety prevents stratification. Then you have the “exciting” balance in which every or nearly every character has some Cheapo Home Depot to pull out and frustrate other players with. Within this structure, some characters have more or easier-to-use BS than others, and tiers form.
Just my theory, anyway.
