Great OP, Strider's letter was a :master:

But who's "that kermit the frog looking DUMBASS" in Nova's intro?

I'm guessing Skrull cause he's green and has a ball super.

Yay top 100 in ranked win streaks! Sure it was against really terrible players but yay.

Is the character usage screen bugged? Because no character is listed at above 30% and I'm not that diverse in my selection.

I think if you have platinum you can go into ms paint slap the code in there and then attach it so only goons can read it. It most likely won't cut down on people taking it without posting but v:v:v

Is there a metatag for people who are bad at this game and just like playing suboptimal bullshit like theme teams and 3xRandom? Failing that, anybody who like that kinda nonsense can just add me. I like playing MvC but I can't motivate myself to actually practice.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get by Taskmaster not wearing some sunglasses and copying Wesker's power boost :colbert:

The power up super Taskmaster needs is watching a vhs in fastforward so he gains a speed boost like in the comics.

Can you please explain how they work then? I know that they land on parts of the screen varying on the strength of the move, but it's still really ambiguous if you space it right. Every skrull player I have seen will eventually just go for it out of the blue and it's a coin toss if you're locked down or doing something

As long as you're not doing something your character will face the direction Skrull is landing so you have time to react. Also if you are backed up to either side of the screen and walking backwards it'll never hit you unless you're in the corner. Careful when trying to punish it cause an inferno is almost certainly on its way.

How the hell do you follow up after Nova's corner Rocket Punch combos? I can never seem to follow up after his Rocket Punch L with the right timing. Also, why does my combo after a forward + H relaunch sometimes let the opposing character tech out?

I don't know what specific Nova rocket punch combo you're trying to do but I find its easiest to wait before jumping after standing S so that you have more room to airdash down into after the rocket punch. 6h will whiff if your air S doesn't get enough hits in so try omitting a button or two in your last air combo.

She-Hulk was a top tier character because people place top 8 consistently in tournaments with her.

Is Viper a bad character because so few top players used her?

Is Zero a bad character because so few top players used him?

I found that funny too and I also found it funny that ChrisG didn't think to just spam Hidden Missiles. I'm almost certain they come down too high to get reflected by Solar Flare.

No they get reflected too but since he launches an even number they just get canceled out.

Regarding her reflect does Ammy gain meter from reflecting projectiles/ does the person shooting the projectiles gain meter like they would if she was blocking or do they not get anything?

I dunno, if you build a team around Wright you can have success with it (Poltergust won that weekly at ArcadeUFo with Wright/Hulk/Doom), and Hsien-Ko still has a top-tier assist.

I don't know what to say about Tron or She-Hulk though.

During that Japanese UMvC3 tournament wasn't somebody making Tron look like a worthwhile point character? She-Hulk on the other hand :smith:. Actually I didn't get a chance to watch WNF last night did Combofiend make her look like a character again?

How the hell are you even supposed to counter it? It seems to be impossible to punish because you pretty much HAVE to guard the whole time.

If you're a character whos bnb takes you a long distance horizontally like spider-man or taskmaster they'll fall harmlessly behind you. Or if you have a beam super or something just chill out and super whenever you hear him get called.

Does that Heros & Heralds mode that lets you use 3 of the same character let you pick different/assists for them? Because an all-Doom(bot) team would be cool.

No. You don't actually play a team of one character, you play one character 3 times.

After hearing you all out I've decided to ignore your terrible opinions stay the course and run it on Thursday the 24th at 9Est/6Pst. Don't worry though as the next one, whether 1 or 2 weeks after, will be on a Wednesday and if all goes well we can throw Hawaiian Shirt a bone and have a Clean Shaven tournament some weekend afternoon.

I'll be taking role in irc://irc.synirc.net/sa-mvc3 at the listed time, please join IRC with whatever name you signed up to Challonge with. If you're in the room under a different name and I mark you absent you'll be sol.

I would like to ask for one or two people to volunteer to help with the brackets in case I miss something while playing a match or in the unlikely event that I get hit by a bus on Thursday.

We have two people who volunteered to stream for Xbox FSlink and Kuvo. They can decide which of them wants to stream by deciding who has the better equipment/flipping a coin. Right now we have no one to stream any PS3 matches so if someone is able and doesn't mind that would be neat.

I think thats about it so go get some practice in and lets have a good time on Thursday!

Kuvo posted:

So I'm streaming the tournament tonight and have two questions.

- Theres 21 people in the 360 bracket and I believe the UMVC lobbies max out at 8 people. Should I just stick to one side of the bracket and spec all those matches or should I try jumping around to try to show everyone playing?

- Is anyone good at commentary? I could try my hand at it but it would be a pretty dry play-by-play. The other option is to not have any but that seems kind of boring. Shout out in the thread if have any ideas

I'm actually not sure. I'd go with a five man lobby. So that there's a good flow of people being in the room without downtime and extending it to a six person room when your matches are up. If you want you can try to get everyone on stream at least once but I'd stick to winner's bracket after a round or two. Also post your stream url FSLink you too.

I'm signed up on PSN. Hope I didn't miss like a deadline or something.

Good poo poo everybody. Things didn't go especially smoothly at first but it worked out ok. Special thanks To Kuvo for running the Xbox stream and FSLink for the PS3 stream.

It was a lot of fun and I think the people want more so the next one will be Wednesday May 30th 10pmest/7pmpst. This gives people who weren't able to compete this week a chance to get in there and show us what they got. No brackets this time until tourney day when they will be posted in IRC at 10/7 and the tourney will start at hopefully 10:15

Let me know what you guys thought and think should be changed/kept. :)
