And if you don’t catch anything else, hitting up Big Two, The Run Back, Thursday Night Throwdowns and the OptionSelect weekly archives are a great way to keep up to speed on what’s happening out there.

If you know of any streams you think should be added, just post them or PM me and I’ll update the first post.

The title should say Firstworldproblems or fwp haha

It’s not a tournament stream but I’ve really enjoyed www.twitch.tv/live_oratory lately. Marlin, other top players, and dat Nina.

3

Yeah, I definitely want to put together a list of a bunch of players who stream regularly. NerdJosh, Justin Wong, Honzo, F. Champ, etc, everyone’s streaming now.

4

AFAIK, Armshouse will be streaming UMvC3 tournaments starting this Thursday (which for the UK will mean it will be a pre-release tournament on Thursday). Should be up by 7PM GMT/2PM EST/11AM PST. I’ll be watching it. If Helter and Chrome are on the microphone it will be very fun to watch on account of their totally sane commentary style that in no way makes the game more hype. :china:

5

if your intrested in watching the longest running marvel 3 house stream you can always check out my channel at twitch.tv/honzo_gonzo :smiley:

6

There have been people in London with a copy of the game for about a week or so now, so hopefully there will be some new tech on show.

If you see me on the stream, I probably wont even have a ghost rider bnb yet lol.

7

Midwest, we gotta do better.

8

It’s sad that Xanbats don’t get any love from the stream monsters. Good players, hype commentary. Tons of shit talking and tons of salt.

9

Its on around the same time as WNF if Im not mistaken, and WNF has justin wong and combofiend. You can’t really compete with that.

10

Holy mother of fuck there is much content, and shit today.

I honestly don’t know where to start…

11

It’s a eastcoast stream (DC, B-More, N.VA) so it doesn’t really compete with WNF, although it does overlap with the start (when WNF starts on time). But still, for a stream to be going weakly for two plus years and not even make it into the OP of this thread is sad. Although if Ski did commentary it would help their views.

12

Xanbats shit on WNF in pure terms of entertainment. Xanadu has always been one of the mst hype streams to watch, wish they played more GGAC and CVS2 on stream though.

13

Hmm I coulda sworn they were around the same time, thanks for clearing that up. I guess the lack of any real draws to the stream is what hurts it, I haven’t watched it since like february so I might be wrong in this regard again but do they have anyone running like a crazy team that’ll bring in the viewers? I know thats what really helped 8 on the break, I never watched that stream till marlinpie showed up with the crazy viper. Djhoushen goes there though doesn’t he? So thats someone I guess.

Well Im not trying to turn this into a vs thread aight? I was just stating why I thought it suffered in terms of publicity. WNF has all the big names, so people go there hoping to see like new tech from certain players. I remember when the game first dropped and I was waiting every week for WNF so I could see what crazy stuff justin, floe, clakey, combo had come up with that week.

14

Honzo’s streaming tonight, looks like online matches - http://www.twitch.tv/honzo_gonzo

Also see Ryan Hunter practicing new combos and setups with his new team - http://www.option-select.com/stream/

15

Dorms new tools looking great in Ultimate. The aerial dark spell stuff ryan was showing is too good.

Hes playing around with Chris right now so he’ll probably go through a bunch of different characters.

16

Lol this. The only stream that I know of in the Midwest is Addmitt from Michigan but that channel is flagged.

17

That’s the thing, I know there are a ton of players in the midwest. Where yo streams at?

18

Georgia/Atlanta has streams regularly for locals and monthlies @ http://www.twitch.tv/funkyp
Atlanta is East Coast btw @_@

19

Got it! For some reason I thought of it as ‘south’. Added to the OP regardless :tup:
