I love how west coast just think Sherri is gonna body Q like she's really that good
Click to expand...

Sherri's pretty good. She's not even close to being like, Justin Wong levels of good or anything, but Sherri's probably better than most of GAF at AE at least.

I don't know much about Q but doesn't she play Dhalsim? Shit is gonna be free for Sherri if it's Viper/Dhalsim.

From what I hear she has other characters too but Q is old school player who can place well in tourneys.

That's very true in Street Fighter, but does it really apply to Marvel? I don't play Marvel so I'm honestly curious about what Marvel players think about this?

Same thing. Mirror match just show who understands that particular match up better. A lot of people don't practice against their own setups just like SF4 vortex.

It's even more true in Marvel considering that team order changes things completely.

Point Sentinel is an entirely different character than Drone Assist Anchor Sentinel. Same thing with Point Haggar and Lariat Assist Haggar.

I was speaking more about the gameplay engine. In Marvel things are moving very fast and you have assist characters. In SF4, it's straight 1v1 and the pace can be pretty slow. As you probably already know, each character have there strengths. So when you want to use those strengths and you play a mirror where those same strengths are being used against you(like Akuma air fireball wars), shit can get pretty stupid and annoying. In Marvel I never thought those things would matter too much because the pace of the game(along with assist characters) would nullify those things. I don't know though, that's just what I've always thought when it came to Marvel mirrors.

Marvel mirrors are a lot more random imo.

For example if I played Balrog vs Balrog 100 matches then I go to a tournament ran into a guy that has only played Balrog vs Balrog 20 times. More likely then not I'm going to win unless he's just so far superior to me.

If I play Zero on point vs Zero on point 100 matches and I go to a tournament playing another Zero who doesn't have much practice in Zero mirrors shit is still a coin flip.

I guess that's because Marvel has X-factor and one touch kill. Justin vs Tokido at last year CEO really shows what I'm talking about. Two wolverine jumping up and down looking for that air throw. Whoever hits it wins... Tokido's game plan was to avoid akuma land air throw. Justin's plan was to avoid Sent drones, land air throw.

How good is Q anyway? Sherri obviously isn't "that good" but she isn't bad either.
Click to expand...

all i know is that q was pretty good in the mvc2 days. its safe to assume she has a lot more experience than sherry.

even tho i think she would probably lose i will still be rooting for sherry <3 <3 <3

I've never been part of sharp-kneesGAF, but I seriously can't stand those types of pics of girls posing with game accessories and shit. It's like pandering to the extreme.

I don't find that picture attractive what so ever. Not saying she's ugly just saying laying there with a bunch of sticks don't make you any hotter. Her faced look so photoshopped though.

If it's best Magneto, I don't see why it should be point Magneto locked. Yeah it makes sense, but doesn't it also make sense that anchor Mags vs. anchor Mags shows who is the best character specialist since you don't have assists skewing results? If I kill your magneto because you tri-jump into Haggar assist, does that really make my Magneto better since all I did was juggle off of that into wall carry -> hyper grav loop?

Yea it should just be Magento lock wherever the fuck you want to put him and Fanatiq said he's fine with that. This wont' happen though. It's on short notice and just not many backers on it. Ray Ray vs Fanatiq is going to have two coast backing it up, money confirmed and location confirmed. Now that's going to be fun.

As far as Rayray vs Fanatiq, based on what I've seen Rayray has the better Magneto and the better Sentinel, but Fanatiq plays the game smarter and doesn't take as many unnecessary risks. I hope that match ends up happening.

7/10. Nothing special, not bad either. Probably helps I don't have a thing for Asian girls. Unbiased opinions FTW.

This is why I said that Marvel "character mirrors" mean even less than they do in other games.

Clearly the solution is a Multiple Man H&H money match.

Eh, at least she's actually part of the community and even does decent in weeklies. I do feel the same way though about the girls who think they're sooooo a geek for liking Star Wars or a gamer for playing Mario Kart 3 hours every 2 months and upload pictures of those rare occasions to facebook.

Hmm, I agree with your sentiment. Like of course RayRay has a better Magneto and Sentinel, but Fanatiq's a more smarter player and has better fundamentals.

I do enjoy watching RayRay play much more and I'm from NYC too, so I gotta back my fellow carribean/hispanic broski up. Hope he pulls through somehow.

Fanatiq and F. Champ did do something similar to that. They did Magneto vs Sentinel Multiple man because Champ thought that magneto beats Sent free, but fanatiq thought Sent had a shot.

After a while they realize...it was stupid.
