UMvC3 Tournament and Stream Commentary Thread

I think I just found my new favorite tournament player.

I would imagine that if traveling really isn’t your thing, then it could be grating and exhausting. Obviously I’m not going to speak for anyone else, but I would be in it for the experience of different local culture, and the social aspect of it all. I love playing games, but what draws me to fighting games is that they are a social tool, and a reason to get out of my own house. As long as I had the means (not so much financially, but time-wise, I guess), then I’d travel to tournament for that purpose. Material worth has basically no value to me, so long as I’m not starving or anything. I tip pretty highly, for example, i.e. leaving 20 bucks for the waiter when the tip is like 5 bucks, because I just don’t care.

Does Justin still have a day job? Because how on earth do you travel 22 times in less than a year and still hold one down?

I’m surprised you haven’t given Dormammu a chance.

Ball so hard motha fuckas wanna find me

I find it unusual that the EVO champion would have a hard time finding a sponsor

There must be some science to it all that we plebs do not understand

Sounds like people didn’t have the right assists to deal with Nemmy + drones. Nemesis in a team tournament is legit scary because if you do take that one hit you’re probably losing a character. 2/3 3/5 against Nemmy, I like the other players’ odds though. We’ll see.

No results for singles yet?

Well after Marvel teams they went to Bore Fighter IV Ass Edition and I went to bed.
However, I now see your hype call for dat Laura Kinney. Meep’s team is gdlk.

Not enough shoutouts to Xanadu last night/this morning.
Folks have some great technology that NY is missing because of all that Wesker love.

in regards to sponsors, marketability is a huge part of it

no offense to viscant but purity isn’t as attractive to a company as yipes getting on the mic and creating memes at a whim

Seems Viscant would be a good fit for Complexity Cross Counter.

Sponsor’s are out of their mind if they don’t want their logo attached to one of Viscant’s vests.

I think the explanation given by Juicebox in one of his interview is that people do not seem to understand the purpose of sponsorships. The primary aim of sponsors is to get visibility and attention to their brand, rather than having some kind of spokesperson for their brand, and because of that the results the players achieved aren’t as important to most sponsors as the attention those players draw. Also, MvC3 has never been as big as SF4, and it’s no incident that most of the sponsored players are big name SF4 players.

Shout outs to having Vanilla in your PS3 when running pools for Ultimate.

So, did the KOF13 players oversleep or something?

You’re right, MvC3 isn’t as big as SFIV. However it’s worth noting that MvC3 came out in 2011 while SFIV came out in 2008/2009 (Japan/rest of world). Might have something to do with that.

dame mk9 has 7 different characters in top 8, shot out to diversity.

remember when Nova was revealed and everyone was like WOW THIS CHARACTER IS FUCKING BLAND. Now everyone loves him. “Grown ass man XDDDDDDDD”

I was thinking that last night. Honestly, nothing really strikes me as super, sticking out about him. Other than being one of the few totally white looking dudes that wins tournaments.

You gotta wear that vest with constancy.

Why have an opinion when I can just copy Yipes?

Man it’s the first major and I’m already tired of watching bad Dooms.
