Are there any mods from Dustloop here, or would know who I could contact? I need to get access to the Aksys account, but no one in the office knows the password, or even what the account name is anymore.

I talked to someone at Evo, but totally forgot who it was...

Edit: Oh I see Shtkn got you, my bad. He's a step up the ladder from me lol

Looking at anitwitter, people are complaining about Waldstein just because of that infinite.

I'm just annoyed this will spread and cause damage to the game's perception.

Asking players whether an infinite that's been known about for months is a problem is a thing people don't do I guess. It's entertaining and gives people a reason to be dumb though.

It's the Indian spelling of my middle name Chingachgook as in @chingachgooknm like my twitter handle. Lol!

But seriously, X-factor is a good mechanic for many reasons.

We should asked ourselves what are the good reasons for XF? I submit the one of the most important developing reasons is:

"Watch-ability" or sometimes I'll say "Fun Watching"

See those stream numbers? That cuz Marvel is fun to watch! It's hyped for many reasons, but chiefly because of these four mechanics, being XF, Happy Birthdays, fast recovery moves, and the "dynamical" change an assit brings to rather static game play of 1v1

(but you knew this is ya listen to the podcast, so now you don't have to listen, unless ya want the other news, of how we have Angelic coming to our next event and even a bigger name after him.... But I can't say the name yet. You'll have to listen to the next podcast for that announcement. Lol)

But if FGC wants payouts like DOTA2 The International the developers have to start considering how fun these games are to watch and play.

And to that I love XF, I wish XF was in bed with me, and I could smother myself in XF juicy freshness. It's that good.

To people who say XF3 makes it not fun when a person does 1 character vs 3 character comeback.

You might be right, if your the person who got the beat down. But your dead wrong on how entertaining that is as a veierwship.

Lots more to say on this.... But a decent forum discussion, just takes more time than I can give it today. :)

it does make it fun to watch. but there's a certain hype ass game that was just as fun to watch that didn't have a similar mechanic:

I already know that he's doing this for love of the game, that's clearly obvious at this point. I totally respect him for being able to have these events on his own dollar, and I think he's a cool motherfucker to boot.

But for the love of christ, HIRE SOMEONE WHO CAN PLAN.

I'm surprised he didn't get everyone confirmed before announcing it. It's an obvious thing to think about so I'm sure it's not that simple.
Click to expand...

Having Xian and Xiaohai confirmed is great, but I think they really need Daigo to truly legitimize this event. He still has a ton of drawing power and a level of mystique unlike any other player. I think the event will be great either way, but having him will justify it for a lot of people who may sit there and say "Why should I pay for this, they couldn't even get Daigo". Kaz can come to, but confirming Daigo is really important.

Sincerely, A Daigo fanboy.

OK, but seriously I think it's worth paying for either way. But they really could use Daigo's help. If they can't get him, then at least a couple of other top Japanese players. Gotta do it for the fanboys. I will probably subscribe either way. Looking at that viewer number will never be as important as it will for this event considering the situation. I really hope they can at least break even.

I never played MK9. what's the matter with it? I'm sorta familiar with P1 advantage stuff.
Click to expand...


Well, besides the player 1 advantage there's an input bug for crouching attacks and a bug where your meter can be drained if you try to armor through a 1 frame gap. Those are the main issues. The objective ones, not just MK being MK.
 
Rhapsody said:
Yeah, you can. It's still probably going to be fuel for people to hate on it.

The game's getting a small update in arcades though, so hopefully they end up patching it on consoles.
Click to expand...

I got somebody on twitter to translate that 2.03 update sign. There was no mention of his infinite being patched.
 
And to that I love XF, I wish XF was in bed with me, and I could smother myself in XF juicy freshness. It's that good.

I lol'd @ XF juicy freshness.

XF is an alright mechanic in a team 3v3 game but if that shit was in a 1v1 game it would be completely horrendous. Even right now it's kinda over tuned.
 
xf sucks but it's one of like five million problems wrong with marvel 3
it's definitely way up there on the list though alongside the usual suspects

every time i see a marvel 2 match's pacing and damage i get really sad because it's everything i want from marvel 3 because those guys get to play that really interesting and cool neutral game for like nearly the entire match instead of various 5-10 second periods depending on if you guess out of the incoming mixup game

id go into it but i dont think anyone actually cares that much
 
I don't hate x-factor, it should be less op, but it works ok in this game

Althought I hope in a next vs game x-factor would be just a roman cancel, and then maybe give each player 3 roman cancels per game, or maybe make it cost 2 meters

Sentinel vs Sentinel was not a very fun game to watch the last few years before MvC3.

Even now, when it comes on stream for some reason, everyone is like "aw yis real Marvel" and the stream loses half of it's viewers.
 
Actually don't really mind X factor, but to be fair I don't really play the game all that much.

I was under the impression you should be smart enough to snap in Phoenix and Vergil shouldn't be touching the floor anyways.

I'm just the tiniest bit annoyed that this wasnt what the app turned out to be. I wanted to see hit boxes.

Oh well. I'm definitely not buying this, but I'd probably get a digital hit box viewer to go with the frame data app.

Speak for yourself. I'd rather watch MvC2 Sent mirrors from EVOs past than anything from EVO 2014 MvC3.
 
i dont give a shit whether something was fun to watch, i care about the play

in sentinel vs sentinel they got to play the good part of the game for a long ass time instead of eating incoming mixups after 10 seconds of gameplay

in every match besides potentially magneto matches they got to play the good part of the game for a loooooong time and it opens up an extremely interesting resource management game in addition to everything else

if you say x-factor is anywhere close to the meter and health management of mvc2 then i feel like you are completely lying tbh

like just everything about the mvc2's core resource systems (assists, health/damage, meter) is close to perfect


edit: like you know how the champ vs justin matches were amazing because they played a 2 player game for so damn long during the matches? that should never ever EVER be the exception but it is and ultimately that's why marvel 3 is a bad game
