good shit to viscant, remembered watching him on those b4 tapes. Congrats man, you earned it.
top 8 in mvc2 during b4 (2000)
4th in mvc2 during b5 (2001)
won and placed top 3 in numerous local shgl and san diego tournaments around the 2000-2002 era.
i’m sure if you ask him, he’ll tell you that he made a living winning tourneys in mvc2 around that time period.
Not sure why people are saying that he’s riding on Phoenix. PR had a good amount of chances to do an appropriate amount of snapbacks to get her into mix-up but he failed. He also failed to kill her twice in one match even though he snapped her in. In my experience, when you fail to capitalize on something that would give you a tremendous advantage, then you deserve to lose.
Like I’ve said elsewhere I just wish I could pick ‘Jean Grey’ in non ‘glass cannon’ mode - and enjoy playing as her. Toss her another super as a cookie.
shrug
Twas nice to see Viscant take it. And DAMN that Wesker…I’d have raged so hard from some of that haha…but thats why I was not in LV this weekend hehe.
- :bluu:
I already said if anything MVC3 is more like MVC1 than MVC2. MVC2 isn’t as cheap of a game as MVC3. MVC3 is hella old school cheap (which is why it gets people so mad lol) and Viscant has been playing hard even in the old Marvel stuff for a long time.
Lol, I have been on srk for about 3 years. And everytime I see a post by you are calling someone an idiot.
This observation speaks for itself.
Major props and respect to Viscant. Well done!
well, there are lots of idiots on srk. someone’s got to point it out.
Every time, eh asshole? Fuck, I must be losing long tracks of time then. Thank god “Arcane Arcane” is here to set me straight.
The observation “speaks for itself” in that you don’t know fuck all about making observations.
Did you see a “Deathwish” play? He used Phoenix to lead and played her “straight.” It was quite the sight.
At first you persuaded me that… hey maybe specs is right about me. im a asshole and dont know ‘fuck all about making observations’.
Then I remembered the last 20 post ive seen from you. The same as the next 20 post I’ll see from you. Maybe im just running up on bad post, either way lol, im not responding to you anymore.
Damn, specs. You gotta change your posting style. Arcane Arcane may never read them again! How will you ever succeed without his approval?!?!?!?!
!!??!?!?!!!? </sarcasm punctuation exaggaeration quota fulfill>
That’s because you don’t know what you’re talking about and “lol, im (sic) not responding to you anymore” is fluent Bitch for “I can’t salvage this point if my life depended on it but I’m too much of a cunt to admit I’m wrong so I’m going to act like I’m the better man… by announcing exactly that.”
Good job, fella. You sure showed me.
I do know I am right, and you know it too, so whats the point of talking further? Its more like “Meh, this guy…”
I’m not sure how anybody can argue that Viscant never earned his EVO victory. The man’s been dedicated towards Marvel vs Capcom for years, and was wrecking opponents in the arcades long before many of his haters had even been potty trained. He’s a tremendously talented competitor who actually knows what’s required to play at a professional level, and his success gives American FG players something to be proud of.
To everybody complaining about Viscant using Phoenix, please stop being ridiculous. In a high-stakes tournament such as EVO, it would be foolish NOT to select the best tools available and maximise the chances of winning. Additionally, though Phoenix’s X-Factor gives her an edge over other characters, she is by absolutely no means an “Instant Victory”. Viscant still had to excel above the other 1500+ competitors all hungry for the MvC3 crown. Viscant still had to outsmart and outplay the world’s most elite MvC pros. Viscant still had to maintain composure and concentration on the grand stage before tens of thousands of spectators.
There’s a reason why Viscant finished 1st at EVO 2011. It wasn’t because of “broken” characters or “cheap” tactics. It was simply because he had the skills and the mindset to be the best.
He KNOWS he’s right, specs. Might as well just give up. No way you can argue that logic.
Oh damn, you know it too! Double whammy!
Better pull out the nuclear solution, man. “I KNOW I’M RIGHT TIMES INFINITY!” Lives have been lost, but their sacrifice was worth it.
Like Viscant cares about the haters. He probably laughed all the way to the bank. Hate the game, not the player.
Where’s his birth certificate?!
Lol and this guy. It’s like you two come home from working at the abortion clinic, cleaning up fetuses when the doctor gets done, look in the mirror at your ugly faces, and decide to “pwn a few noobs” on srk by calling people with bad opinions “idiots and assholes”
You two BFFs?
Well I’m sure at some point he had to play against another PHX player (>_<) if he wasn’t anything he wouldn’t have beaten them, and I’m sure that other people in the top 8 went thru other PHX players before they lost to Viscant.
So by no means is that the reason he won. thats like when people said that they lost because the other person picked Cable. It’s a TEAM game with TEAM dynamics and TEAM counters. Hell if anything I’m more terrified of Wesker/Haggar - than Phx, she was simply a clean up hitter.
- :bluu:
Viscant wins.
Cthulhu soon to rise.

You’re an idiot.
For some reason this reminds me of the one Insanity Wolf pic I saw that was like:
“Math class got you down?”
“Divide by 0 and escape through the wormhole it creates.”
