I wish he would've kept with the infinite. That shit was soooooo lame, but awesome. I wanna see someone get really far in Evo just doing that. Land one hit and set up the infinite and win by timeout every single time.
At least we got to see that infinite...
For those that don't know... that Spencer infinite is one of the very rare true infinites in the game (no TAC essentially) but it does like no damage. It's 100% a stall infinite... theoretically Spencer could win off of first touch and not have your other 2 characters even be a factor by winning through time out. If it's not banned in tournaments it makes Spencer a top 5 character free because it makes him a Firebrand-esque type character...
Only 1000000x worse to watch.

Nah he can hit it. He has done that before (timed out someone with Spencer at nearly full time on the clock).

It's definitely not fine even if it's a very hard execution. It's the same mentality that leads to "TAC infinites are fine" or "Zero loops are fine". Someone always is able to attain the execution to do it.
im actually off camera in that vid lol
i've never seen him hit it fully since that
i think all those things are fine too btw. not in a 'this is fine for gameplay balance/design' idea, but rather competitive ideal which doesn't ban anything that isn't strictly literally breaking the game system by completely eliminating the possibility to win without any input from the winner's side (so, snap glitch would be fine to me -if- you didn't have to only kill one guy to win but nova speed tackle peace out would still be gone because it freezes the game in a winning state with no input and no chance of change)
basically i guess i have the mentality you disagree with for this case
like i'm someone who firmly believes the game would actually become a legit and good game if vergil, morrigan and zero were banned but it's also against my belief in the 'ruleset' of competitive games so yeah

I personally would just ban Zero and Vergil. I would also ban the Morrigan/Doom shell, but not the individual characters.
i actually don't have a major problem with doom with lesser teams 'cuz all the other teams outside of the top 3 who use him (most of 'em) have ways of dealing with the other guy's doom assist one way or the other
rather than breaking the game apart he's more like the focal point, if that makes sense
also i mean literally no input, not 'no mental input', idk if i made that clear enough
but whatevs this is a thread about curleh and man i really wish i had the brackets im super curious on whats been happening offstream
edit: omg pikachu is still in yesssss
Magneto + Doom Missiles is still pretty damn insane and will shit over everything that isn't team Nemo. Same for Dormammu setting up Missiles and just chipping you out completely. You also still have his bull shit Plasma Beam with characters like Wolverine.
Nah that character is busted... if you start banning characters he is top 4 characters to ban absolutely free. Too much brain dead shit on him like easy high damaging combos, easy OTGs, easy raw tag combos, easy TAC infinites, dumb as hell Foot Dive. Banning those other characters basically makes Doom an auto pick because that's 3 less characters that Doom has to worry about match up wise.

Yeah I believe it's the same one. He was using the same team. I loved playing that guy. We would talk so much shit back and forth. It's funny because we both run the Dante/Strider shell but different point characters that both zone.

Magneto Missiles is definitely good but I just feel that there are so few people that can play it well. Champ is the only player that is consistent with them. Even Neo gets bopped a lot because he doesn't protect Doom well enough in my opinion.
But I also play Chris, so I get decent results against mid level (sometimes high level) Mag/Doom players.
You guys were talking about banning MorriDoom so I thought that you were taking player skill into equation. Otherwise only ChrisG really wins tournaments with MorriDoom, other players with that composition get bopped.
Oh boy Zero mirror incoming...
Yep. Would be nice for the hometown hero to take it all

I just find him boring to watch.

Yeah I suppose. I just think MorriDoom is waaaaaaaaayyyyyy more obnoxious than Mags/Doom, and way easier to win with. I mean my MorriDoom is dogshit and I can win just because I can spam Soul Fists very well. My conversions are garbage though.
Definitely not saying it's an easy team to use, which is why so many fraud players get bopped, but I think it's much easier than Mags/Doom

Flocker's Hawkeye is legit as hell. And his Zero is fun to watch at times.

That strider play was amazing. Too bad he couldn't pull through.

Shit I'm salty right now. I've fought the dude so many times, and I go pretty even with him. But I can understand why he would get so far. He has some sick setups.
