Spent all weekend in Atlanta playing Marvel with various people. That place is Hawkeye city. Was in a 32+ man tournament on Saturday night and I swear there were at least 10 Hawkeye players there.
My theory on how to fight Morrigan/Doom is standing up to scrutiny, but I must admit that it's harder to execute than it looks just because your spacial awareness has to be completely on point. Normally I'm mostly focusing on only the opponent's point character; in that match-up you really have to watch the entire screen at all times. |

Anything interesting happen in Civil War 4 top-8 for Marvel? That's around the time I went to bed last night.

Some interesting play in top 8 overall plus some pop offs, chokes, clutches, salt and hype. Lots of Haggar pipe, Hulk smash, Chris Magnums, tons of lame play by Morrigan and Doom missiles.

The winners finals had the biggest "you hate to see these kind of things happen" moment ever. The entire top 8 was actually great and a must watch, all the haters don't know what they are talking about.

Not mine, necessarily, since it's not built for it (although Nova has some serious potential to fuck them up). Maybe not even Killa Sasa's, although I'd like to see how he handled it, but.. Frantic? Smurfx? I'd love to see that, especially Frantic's keepaway style + Vajra. I really need to learn an alt team, but it's so hard after establishing a team / character for me in a fighting game. |

i would actually consider dropping haggar vs chris g and put strider in there just for vajra. seeing as how it would be a keep away vs keep away battle. i'm not too afraid of doom or akuma against any of my characters.

I'd definitely love to see some of the "LOL salty FGC'ers are lazy against Morrigan" crowd come up against Chris G in a tournament and dismantle his Morrigan team, since obviously all it takes is a little extra thought and work, right?

Chris G is too fucking solid (the rate of his Soul Fist to Fly/Unflys is very telling), but you can't deny that dealing with assists cripples the SouSou game.

Really, I would love to play against ChrisG, just to see how I would do. I generally do better against the slower, patient play than the "stay in your face until I open you up and you die" play most people are fond of. |

Yeah. I would still use my team against him just because LOL Nova + my Zero style is more patient / Buster oriented, but I definitely would not be favored just looking at a team versus team match-up. S'why I'd want to see Frantic and Smurf.
I know Kinderparty came pretty close to knocking him out using Taskmaster / Hawkeye / Arthur (I forget who he started, Hawk or Task, but..), just need to see more teams like that versus him |

If he starts Morri -- holding forward at the beginning of the round. People already screw up by not doing that and giving her real estate right off the bat. Frustrating to watch. Spider-Man closes the distances and Hawkeye takes care of Doom. Once I catch up to her, I have the hitboxes to make her worry or at least think properly of how to escape. As well, Stings, Zips and Web Throws make sure they can't go too buckwild on Pacmen immediately. If he starts Akuma/Anchor/Whoever -- maul them, and make sure to kill with the welcome mixup when she comes. No matter what, my welcome mixup with Peter ensures you hit the ground and eat some frame traps. Blocking in this game isn't where you want to be. Even if Spider-Man dies with this setup, I'm not too worried as long as Morri isn't on point. Hawkeye/X-23 is solid enough, especially if I have the bar and XF (which I almost always do) to kill whoever's out with an X-23 XF guard cancel and Troll Nap whoever's next. My setup allows me to OHKO Morri as long as she doesn't have 3 bars for her air super. Drill Kick won't reach a properly spaced UWT reset using my X-23 assist, and her dash is too wonky to let her escape. It's a really momentum based matchup. I can avoid Salt Fists fairly well with Peter, and Hawkeye cleans up Doom more often than not. Not a clean counter ala Vergil, or maybe something like a two bar Sentinel + beam DHC (and maybe even XF) to blow up even just one predictable Doom call, but definitely better than most as long as you don't let her get started. I really think Wolverine can maim Morri pretty significantly as well, just by virtue of having the scariest opening gambit. Commands so much space right off the bat. If she's not on point, then welcome mixup when she comes in.

Anybody else playing an Avengers team this week? I've been running Cap (Shield Slash), Hulk (Gamma Wave) and Hawkeye (Triple Shot). It's pretty much the best Avengers team configuration I could come up with, leaving out Iron Man and Thor who I don't really know how to play. It works pretty well as a team. Cap to Hulk is a pretty nasty DHC in the corner. Gamma Wave also lets me get a relaunch with Cap in the corner.

Hawkeye/Wesker/Strider.
I think the second slot would be best for Dante. But I can't play him. With Wesker I can get longer Hawkeye combos but I think Jam Session would help the zoning. |

Also, I find that Jam Session works really well as a supplement to good zoning like Hawkeye's. Your opponents often start super jumping to try to get over the arrows and Jam Session knocks them right down. My all-zoning team is Hawkeye/Taskmaster/Dante. |

Yeah but that was months ago. At Civil War, Chris G seemed to know what to do when he expected an air throw. The times when he got air thrown was usually when Wesker was XF3, zipped across the ground and got him before he could react to it.

You know, this post makes me realize that I need to think about incoming mixups more on the receiving end. Maybe it's because my competition hasn't gotten to the point of appreciating the use of welcome mixups, but I really hadn't put much thought into avoiding them. I was thinking up arc "hop dash" or Fly-Multi Dash-Unfly would be good enough. :lol Fuck I need to level up this Vergil/Doom/Morrigan B team already. Marvel, why can't I get enough of you, growing pains and all? |

Just catching up...
Mundus sounds like a pain in the ass.
SRK is the worst when it comes to UMvC3. The first one had lots of issues, but UMvC3 is probably the best fighter Capcom has put out in this generation as far as I'm concerned. It's got the best balance between fun, aesthetics and gameplay compared to SFIV. The other game will need a serious overhaul to be in the same league as Mahvel.
I didn't expect that. Definitely one of my top five fighters ever.
Anyways... Yeah, too many people are just sticking with the usual strategies. It's not like counterpicking against this team involves killing your old team. It usually just means that they need a backup character or two like Hawkeye and Strider. Can anyone tell me why Dr.Strange isn't being mentioned at all? Dr.Strange, Dormammu and Morrigan meter assists sounds like something that could keep her at bay for a little while. Edit: Strange won't work. Her fly cancels are too fast. I'd help if I didn't have the most fraudulent Doom and Morrigan on the planet. Damn, I can't believe I suck with a 360 pad now when it used to be the opposite.

It's spacing dependent. If you're too far away, then she'll have time to block it. If she's too high up, then she can unfly and combo you. When it works though, it works wonders.

CvS2 OE Would be amazing, I wouldn't care if it ended up dead like 3S. I think the main problem is Capcom paying SNK or whoever is holding the rights for the characters. I mean even Capcom JP had to renew licenses or whatever to get their own Rival Schools onto PSN, which probably means no US release at all.

I honestly think Wolverine is worse in that match-up than people tend to think. She's got good enough walk speed to avoid most opening match gambits and I'm pretty sure her hitbox makes it difficult to hit her with instant overheads. And that match-up is awful for Wolverine if she ever gets started.

Problem is it's hard as hell to use properly (albeit, it's the easiest of his 3 non-hyper counters) due to the speed of the game and it can be blocked.
Which is amusing. I'll never forget getting the low version of his counter off on someone, but they had triggered X-factor, so during the freeze he saw Wesker appearing behind him and blocked it. Yay. It should still be used more, though, since it works on assist projectiles. |

GGs Smurf, need to run and get some food.
Tried some new tech on you. Some worked. Some got me killed, but going to blame online. Like, I figured out I can do a Nova Rocket Tackle immediatetely after Rekkoha starts, land, and do a Nova Force in the same combo lol. But, I lagged and screwed it up on a happy birthday. I wanted to show you, too :(. Ah well. Either way, once I stopped doing the stuff that didn't work, was good. Hope you learned some stuff, too. I liked the attempted adaptation to rocket tackles using Haggar, it was smart. |

god you won't believe how frustrated i am right now. so many times i attempted to tech your throws and almost never got them. not only that i was messing up so much stuff. lost all of my momentum when we got disconnected. :( lol its almost the exact same formula as last time. i got a small lead and we got disconnected and you came back way stronger.
