Final Starbase Arcade Tournament this Sunday (8/11/13)!
Starbase Arcade will be closing it’s doors at the end of the month for good. One final tournament streamed by IPlayWinner will happen on Sunday. UMVC3, AE 2012, KOFXIII & VF5 will be the games played.
We’ve promoted this to all the players in Northern California, many of whom attended Starbase frequently. Hope you all will tune in!
I realized how the top players want the top 8 to be split. It’s 80/60/50/50/40/30/30/30.
I can’t believe FGC TO’s didn’t know about hotel discounts.
I don’t remember Magnetic blast being in Vanilla >_>
It’s a testament to how bad people were in Vanilla that it took until Ultimate for Mag Blast to be abused.
Well, DHC glitches and other stuff made people able to be bad at the game and win anyway.
Hasn’t changed all that much over the 2 game’s lifespan.
That is also one reason why I’m quitting going to marvel 3 tourneys after Summer Jam… EVERYONE that plays this game at
a competitive level in ANY way is a lunatic at some point while playing. Some just have more loony moments than others, or flat-out
play nutty by definiton.
I can’t deal with that shit anymore. Guilty Gear is the future.
Wasn’t mag blast not as good in Vanilla due to Magneto’s airdash being faster? I thought a lot of the mag blast combos didn’t work in Vanilla due to Magneto’s airdash being a lot faster.
I mean no one did mag blast combos in Vanilla when you could just ROM or hyper grav 7 times and kill your opponent to death/start the DHC glitch.
TOs have been explaining to everyone, they already have hotel discounts but it’s still expensive to book a place in a hotel. People thinking that these TOs can get corporate rates and free ballrooms don’t seem to understand that the FGC isn’t Citibank; the hotels isn’t as eager to do business with a bunch of bums as some seem to think they do.
I am 100% sure they’re willing to cut deals when those same “bums” have been doing business with them for years.
Some TOs get completely free ballrooms (based on a sliding scale dependent upon number of rooms sold). Some get them if they purchase a specified amount of food/drink/catering services. Many TOs probably aren’t frugal enough or care enough to bargain for the cheapest possible price. Not necessarily a bad thing, but IMO it’s better to shoot for the lowest common denominator (within reason) than have the fanciest ballroom because even the poorer players are still part of the FGC and slightly cheaper prices can turn a stream monster into an active participant.
I was wondering what had happened to Starbase. Sad to hear the news, Starbase was great back when people actually went. Hope this tournament rocks.
marlinpie used magnetic blast all the time in mvc3, he even said that it was probably the best move in the game due to the copious amount of blockstun, rayray, chrisis, champ, kbeast used it as well, but the main reason it wasn’t abused as much was with l. disruptor being so fast it was easier, and often times more beneficial, to use that instead. also character development takes time, regardless of the players skill, e.g., othawk
no bookface, any other informaiton?
Just checked last 3 pages, (Manhattan Meet info @ Times Square, LI info). Good. Very good.
I never thought I’d have to stamp Mechwarrior as a heretic. I guess the greatest betrayals always come from within even your greatest trusts.
i sincerely forgot that L disruptor got nerfed in terms of recovery speed
seriously wow that really bothers me in regards to how they designed hawkeye
L disruptor need more nerfs, Magneto cannot even shot those beams in comics/movies/animated series
The entire character of mags would not make sense in the comics
they have to keep the movies rated pg 13
Is magnetism purple in the comics?
magneto is basically like silver age superman in terms of “makes up bullshit powers all the time” except instead of the explanation of “superman” it’s “magnets ya’ll”
cases in point
(psychic? naw dude MAGNETS)
