Still got 6 more qualification spots to go. I am sure ChrisG is going to be in one of those (unless I am mistaken and he got eliminated already).

He got eliminated at Norcal by Skrull and Strider because those characters work very well against Morrigan. At Curley Mustache he gets beat by MarlinPie.

Before that he lost to Justin Wong at Winter Brawl. Another dismantling, it was a mind fuck for ChrisG:

I still think Wolvie/Storm/Akuma is JW "real" team, he just haven't used it yet since he missed the last 3-4 majors and was only playing at WNFs, maybe we'll see it at SS next week.

Someone probably hasn't told Justin this but on that team he can get a "THC" style full screen lock down/mix up going ala Doom + Ammy THC. It's not actually a THC, it's basically any bread and butter into hard knock down with Storm -> Hailstorm (but make sure the Hailstorm misses so that the opponent is blocking it) -> DHC into Wolverine Berserker Charge = Go ham with suped up Wolverine while under cover of Hailstorm against a sitting duck opponent. There's a player with the name JJJ who uses this set up only he does it with Morrigan + Felicia low hitting assist for unblockable. There is nothing that can be done about this outside of cross over counter into an invincible assist or Sentinel.

Can someone explain to me what is actually happening at 14:49 in this video? Looks like Justin Wong does a tornado claw straight into an air combo?

You saw that wrong. Storm does Hailstorm XFC into Raw tag, Wolverine just goes up and launches her into an air combo (st.S, j.H Tornado Claw Dive kick).

This setup is pretty much why I am slowly beginning to make sure that I have at least one team mate with screen filling shenanigans for THCs. Dante/Ammy is fucking nasty and Doom+Vergil bubbles is even worse (shout outs to guaranteed hard knockdown).

I like watching him play. He actually looks like he knows how to play her. I don't get that same feeling from Dieminnion.

wasn't that smurfx's point though? nerdjosh plays a cookiecutter-style morrigan, while dieminion plays a dieminion-style morrigan? even if dieminon plays morrigan and strange "wrong", he sure does "wrong" pretty well.

I enjoy watching him play too although a lot of what others see as him bandwagoning just seems more like him experimenting with a lot of things. It was the same way he was in Vanilla.

Everybody already forgot him getting perfected by Mihe at Final Round?

Or are you just talking about him not making it into top 16?
