UMvC3 Stream & Commentary Thread v3

Nice something my lazy ass will travel too! I need to holler at you guys about something I’ve been working on. Just when I thought people gave up on hattan tournies. We gotta meet up flux if you’re ever tired of training LLs on the computer lol

inb4 people start taking it seriously that combo picked dante

Dante Dante Mirrors are such random clusterfucks. Dante is the most random character in the game if he has an assist, and the entire matchup is just a messed up scramble. You can see how mediocre Dante’s abare is in those matchups, I liked the sequence where VXDante and Yipes trades air throws 5 times into no pickup(although Disruptor and Phoenix Assists both give pickups).

One thing Yipes incorporated into his play that more people should do is simply whiff punishing helm breakers by dashing under them. The helm breaker hitbox does not cross up if you are not pressing a button, you can simply dash under it if your character has a good dash and then whiff punish.

Thats not something I would suggest trying.

Yeah, don’t most Dante players just buffer in auto correct Hammer anyway?

Have you tried it before? With a character like Wesker/Dante/Task/Vergil who all have good ranged fast ground dashes, you can easily dash under helm breaker and whiff punish it. Not to mention if it’s a Dante player he can’t cancel into Hammer/Killer Bee/Airplay due to the cross up mixing up his inputs. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Vergil can cancel into SH on whiffed Helm Breakers.

Thats the same logic as dashing under a doom thats about to foot dive you.

Quick question to the streamers and monsters. How is it that saltybets is taking over the entire fgc? Lol

Next thing you know, they’ll be SaltyBet player sponserships…

I try to always input air s xx 236214AA to get hammer on both sides, though of course sometimes I get too lazy. X_X

Because winning at Salty Bets is alot easier than winning a major. People like to win, even in the most silly ways.

that Ronald mcdonald vs Alien queen match sold it for me.

Saltybets is amazing. They honestly need to step it up and create an app or something, multiple stream set ups, especially for bigger e-sports games with high viewership. They have a VERY good idea that has a ton of untapped potential. They have made an interactive way of watching people’s favorite games which keeps people more invested and interested. IMO it could really blow up soon.

So you’re going to buy stock in Salty Bets?

Why do they call the fake money “Salties”. It should be “Saltines”. It’s an actual word.

Are crackers the currency? Just because it’s a word doesn’t mean it actually makes sense in context.

We call dollars “bucks”. It’s not like words have to mean their most common definition in every situation.

It’s matter of logistics. Does Salty Bets have enough money to hire someone to make an app? Does Salty Bets have enough money to set up multiple betting pools at once? Can Salty Bets just show up in a StarCraft II or DotA 2 or League of Legends stream without getting banned? Does Salty Bets have the connections to get actual permission at such an event? Do the “e-sports” events want this kind of thing? There’s hella variable, and while I could see this kinda thing growing, it will take a bit of luck.

I’d say 80% of the time I dash under a Dante doing a helm breaker and try to punish, they hit me with an auto-corrected Hammer or Killer Bee.

As for Vergil, you gotta be out of your mind if you think i’m gonna dash under that thing. I wouldn’t do it even with Makoto’s dash.

it’s still a solution to a nonexistent problem, and that’s before you start getting into stuff like trademarks and whatnot.

I was making a joke god dammit.
