dorkasaurus_rex: Jun 10, 2005; gawrsh do you think any women will be there

Can we go back to protips on reliably doing the DP motion? I don't quite "get it" yet.

Also, as I have the game early, I'd be happy to help people answer any questions.

Anyone on the 360 up for some casual games? Gt: dorkasaurus rex

Also, I'm having a world of trouble trying to do Frank's Hammer Throw. When am I charging and for how long? Does that just mean to hold the stick back? I always end up throwing a pie instead. Also, does the camera OTG or do I need to hit them off the ground first for it to connect? I can never hit it after his shopping cart hyper like some people seem to.

Maybe it's just cause I'm abysmal at this game, but I cannot get the timing right on Nova's forward + H to hit at all. I can do Centurion Rush L almost every time, but I don't think you can relaunch over that. When exactly should I be doing the f+h? Also, I saw a few fancy combos with the Energy Javelin and air combos featuring Human Rocket Punch (whatever QCB + L/M/H is called, not listed in the command list) and are those just really specific to where the character is on the screen? It seems impossible to combo into those in the air except at very specific times.

Nova's a pretty amazing character but he's pretty complicated, and that red health thing kind of nerfs/balances him (but only because I'm a bad enough player to all but guarantee that I will immediately get red health upon entering a match). I really like how he plays and is a really fun addition to my team

Anyone got any good Morrigan UMVC3 tech? I'm still rocking and rolling with my vanilla MVC3 combos and getting bodied, but some advice on how to spam her meter-stealing Soul Fist and take advantage of her slightly easier flight cancelling would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odpYVLb0pBc&feature=player_embedded!

Dieminion running that Dark Morrigan anchor. Basically, his plan is to spam the poo poo out of the meter building assist she has, which is actually a lot safer to call out than Ammy's. He leaves her last so she gets the X-Factor boost for her pretty bad damage. Her physical damage is still rear end, so what you'll see if you watch a lot of the later matches in the tournament is just a war of attrition where eventually Morrigan just chips you out with Astral Vision fireballs.

A lot of people were saying that despite her buffs, the air dash nerf was going to rape her, but unless you're blindly going in with drill kick every second, she should probably be played as a keep away character. I actually think that indirectly, the air dash nerf helped her keep away game, because now she can just fly upwards in astral vision and make the game into a Touhou shooter, and with the weakened air mobility, it's hard for the opponent to really punish her for it, unless you have someone with an instant hit everywhere super.

I haven't really seen anyone incorporating the meter stealing fireball, to be honest, but the flight cancelling makes it easier for her to get around and fly away.

I play a pretty heavily melee-oriented Morrigan but this is some helpful stuff. Maybe the Astral Vision keepaway stuff is more effective then I give it credit for, but I really like getting that first hit in with Morrigan or air comboing into her Level 3. It's just so satisfying. Has anyone else used Morrigan at tournaments? I feel like this is the first time I've ever seen her used competitively.

Captain America is to this game as Ryu is to Street Fighter, if you're completely new to Marvel games he's pretty good for figuring out how everything works because he's fairly well rounded and plays straightforward-ish.

I'm kind of considering replacing someone on my Morrigan/Nova/Ryu team with him. Maybe dropping Nova as he's a bit execution heavy for a scrub like me?

It's so hard to stay calm and hit my combos out against real people. I always freak out and do poo poo too fast and end up messing even simple combos I can hit 100% in practice. Ghost Rider is a pretty tough character for me to go against, all his full screen grabs totally open me up all the time.

Is there a "right" way to hold a stick? UMVC3 marks the first game I've ever gone out and bought a stick for and I haven't seen many good people play in real life, so I'm thinking I might be holding it wrong. Is it better to keep it between your fingers in some fashion? I usually just rest my palm on the top of ball. Is this a bad way to go about it?

Hey folks. I'm considering doing a little tournament out my apartment and had some questions. Mainly, just some guidelines and rules to keep things organized and fair, and also maybe any tips on how to get a livestream going.

Has anyone here ever organized a semi-serious home tournament and actually had people show up? I'm in the NY area, by the way, so if anyone is interested in either participating or helping me set it up, you're more than welcome to.

This series of articles is more for a large scale tournament, but you can take some ideas from it: http://www.option-select.com/blog/entry/?id=83 http://www.option-select.com/blog/entry/?id=106

I've run some small tournaments with a mix of competitive and non-competitive players and the main tips I can give you are to find out what sort of resources you have at your disposal so you can build around that.

How much money are you willing to spend? Besides payouts for the winners, consider small stuff like chips and drinks. Also consider prep costs such as paper towels and toilet paper and even air fresheners. Clean your bathroom and floors.

What can your friends bring to the table? If you can get some people to bring extra setups and you can guarantee their security, you can have a smoother tournament as well as a casual station so people aren't sitting around. You can also trade your entry fee for a bag of fresh baked goods or whatever.

How much space do you have? Have designated areas for fee collection, bracket inquiries, and your stream station. This is hard in an apartment, but being clear on the setup side of things will keep things looking organized.

How much time do you have? Have a schedule and try to stick to it. http://challonge.com/ is a good resource to help your bracket. Get a big piece of cardboard or butcher paper and draw the bracket on it. You'll get a lot of requests on bracket status. If you have multiple setups (and you should), enforce a no casuals rule so you can keep the tournament running.

Just have fun with it and don't be afraid to lay down the law since it's your place and all. I wouldn't even worry about streaming for your first time since there's a million more things that can go wrong. I would recommend a fake run through in advance so you can see what areas you're lacking.

I have multiple setups but one is vastly different than the other (projector vs. TV), I have one 360 with the game and one PS3 with the game, and I have one stick for the 360, and one stick that works with both. I have lots and lots of snacks anyways (I'm a goon, after all)

I'm mostly concerned about getting people to come. I'll have friends helping me make sure everything not bolted to the floor doesn't get stolen, but I'm not sure how I should get the word out (apart from giving out fliers at Gamestop) especially since the only arcade in town closed up recently (Chinatown fair)

There is this place but I've never been:
