I just noticed something...

Fchamp is Yipes' nemesis. As is Dormammu to Strange.

The destiny battle of Strange vs Dorm happened and Strange came out on top.

By the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth!!!

FGC-GAF, I'm hitting that Halo 4 vortex tomorrow and I don't know how long I'll be in it. Marvel, Halo and PGR are probably my favourite gaming franchises of all. I'd love to play with any of my FGC brothers that are here to shoot me an invite if that's the case. /offtopic

I missed the Marvel action. Is Yipes using a totally new team with Strange on it? Why did he pick the character?
Click to expand...
Yipes was using Nemo, a Japanese player's team. Yipes' B team is Nova/Spencer/Hawkeye and Nemo's team is Nova/Spencer/Dr. Strange. Apparently him and Nemo are switching teams to see what is most effective. A set with Nemo hit the internet a few weeks back and had a lot of sweet synergy on display.

Related: Combofiend has also picked up the team recently as he's always had a bit of interest in Dr. Strange. It just so happened that both of them won their respective tournaments yesterday using that team.

Thanks Enzo. That's pretty interesting though. With the games life cycle progressing, it's nice to see top players use under used characters. It'd be cool to see some new Strange tech, and Yipes would be the one to do it.

FYI enzo, the UltraChen proper shows will be on hiatus until January. In the interim they will occasionally stream themselves practicing games.

I have never played Resident evil, assassin creed, dark souls, skyrim, megaman *from start to finish*, Zelda *from start to finish*, and about 100 other "popular" titles.

Matter of fact since 2001 I have played basically fighting games, CS, Madden, and I think Final Fantasy/Dynasty warriors.

I never have any clue what you guys are talking about when it gets all gaming related.
