I'm not going to say it's bad. But I'm definitely not also going to say it's too good.

Never really thought it was as hard to block as it arguably should be, either. And I have shit defense. Strider has no grounded overheads and when orbs are active you don't have to worry about throws.

Strider honestly seems harder to block in X-Factor without Ouroboros active a lot of the time.

I don't think it's too good, I think it's well-balanced. It provides full screen control for a period of time for 3 bars of meter. It is undoubtedly the best level 3 utility hyper in the game. People only think it's bad because Spiral Swords is so overpowered. It's basically a miniature Dark Phoenix form for 2 bars less for a limited period of time. In a 1v1 situation, it closes out matches really well, and that makes it worth having.

Most Strider players are terrible at using it, though.

It depends on how good the Strider player is at staggering/placing the orbs, but that can definitely be the case, yes. I definitely think it usually makes more sense to wait until you burn through XF completely before even bothering with the orbs.

I'm somewhat biased because if Felicia can air-block one orb then she's pretty much guaranteed to survive the whole thing unless Strider backs off completely and tries something else.

I think top 8 results went about as I expected/wanted to. 4/5 gods made it in, with 2 known seeded players (Ranmasama and Angelic) and 2 unknowns made it in. One of the unknowns is apparently an international player although that was not the international player I was thinking would make it in. FChamp and Justin Wong 3peat their top 8 appearance further cementing their status as gods while Flocker and ChrisG repeat.

This is the first time in MVC3's history that two exact same teams made top 8 (ZMC) which is a little disappointing but I guess we are near that end game stage of the game. More Vergils then Dooms is also a bit surprising, in fact just as many Zeros made it in as Doom which is another record (3 each). 3 Dorms as well in top 8, 2 Dante, 2 Wolverine, 1 Akuma, 1 Storm, 1 Haggar, 2 Magnetos, 1 Hawkeye/Strider, 1 Morrigan, 1 Phoenix, 1 of Spencer and Frank if Justin picks alt team and the main surprise appearance one Shuma Gorath in top 8.

Marvel had some incredible matches tonight. Great stuff, a lot of it very much EVO caliber.

Might not reach the highest high of AE, but it was damn good. Yipes vs. RayRay probably my highlight, though there were certain times with Champ that shined pretty brightly too.

AE top32 was nonstop awesome. By far the best of EVO. Marvel should be crazy tomorrow though.

Marvel tonight was good, but not incredible. AE this year was seriously amazing yesterday. I hope tomorrow delivers.

I'm really salty I watched so much marvel today...I ran out of steam right when it actually started getting good :( I happened to check gaf one last time right before Rog vs. ChrisG and obviously had to catch that.

Sad the season is coming to an end, but on the other hand, I've had enough for a while!

And as predicted Viper and Strider are the AE Cammy and AE Viper of Marvel. Although Flocker does have a pocket Strider so we might see that character again. Zero actually performed to his caliber.

One Morrigan in top 8 is hardly a surprise, that's how it always has been. I think most interesting is 3 Dorms in top 8, that's as many as Dooms. Or Shuma Gorath.

In terms of views, we shattered the amount of the 2012 OT1 at this point. We're definitely going to get over 1 million views altogether.

My main sources of hype so far:

Day 1: AE in general, so much good stuff. OnlineTony vs Chris G and a lot of the stuff on stage in the semis

Day 2: after hours P4A suite. #Bananamerica


tomorrow's gonna be so hype I can feel it
