how is his vergil, Viscant's execution is not the best .

his wesker mixups are godlike, ammy cold star would help him and all you do is mash H

 

[Fersis]

People who have seen Yipes play in casuals have said he is the best in the world. Even Viscant has said this.

SB is going to be a better litmus test for Yipes' current skill. Bigger tournament and WC presence.

Yipes has said before that he chokes hard on tourney play.

Last time I saw any play from his Vergil, still dropping sword loops.

His Vergil is fine fundamentally. Vergil combos are not hard, he will get there eventually.

Mashing H with Ammy is longer adequate in the current meta game. She is a fairly complex character and does not suit Viscants style at all. Cold Stars do not benefit Wesker as he has no real high low mix up.

He didnt choke (as) much back in the Marvel 2 days.

 

[scytheavatar]

He plays a better team; Wesker, Vergil, Strider

Viscant said on SRK that he has been playing a lot of Zero/Doom/Vergil or Phoenix recently.

I have heard... stories about Yipes playing under no pressure. High level players go to his house to train and want to quit the game afterwards.

A little while back he literally ripped apart the entirety of EC's top level players (minus Chris G, who never goes anywhere that doesn't have dat paypuh). I don't remember exact numbers, but in first to 100 sets, most people didn't get past 20.

If he could handle pressure better, he would unquestionably be the best player in the history of ever. He's starting to get better at that going by Summer Jam's outcome.

 

[sleepykyo]

Yeah I see why you would say that considering that he was pretty lax with vanilla MVC3 but people actually thinks he's legit.



Lol in what game? Darkstalkers? Capcom Fighting Jam?

SF4. On the rare occasion that Floe does stop by, James Chen (who might be a tad biased in Floe's favor) mentions Floe normally does really well in casuals and he just flokes during tourneys.

Yeah according to Yipes no one's ever beaten him at his house, the person who's come the closest is Wong.

They were sharing horror stories at the House of Crack one day.

Wasn't Floe a top 8 finalist at EVO in SC?

 

[Infinite]

Wasn't Floe a top 8 finalist at EVO in SC?

Soul Calibur? Nope

 

[WesternHeretic]

Soul Calibur? Nope

Yea he was...


SC 2!

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Floe got 3rd in SC2 at Evo 2003. I think that's his only Evo top 8.

He was good at SC2, not such much in VF5 and SC4.

Andre v Champ

Apparently Viscant got bodied by Champ in a MM

 

[Dahbomb]

ROFL Andre hit Fchamp with the FChamp TAC reset.

FChamp just rolled his eyes like "how the hell did I get hit by my own tech?"

 

[smurfx]

Viscant said on SRK that he has been playing a lot of Zero/Doom/Vergil or Phoenix recently.

i wish he played more of this team instead of his phoenix team when i play him online. he usually changes to his phoenix team when i beat that team.

 

[Busaiku]

Anyone know how many people will be able to make it out due to Final Round Bats?

Well... CJ and Andre are on par at getting beat by Champ. =)

 

[Stabby McSter]

Sooooooo, shoe-in for CJ to win the MM?

 

[Infinite]

Well... CJ and Andre are on par at getting beat by Champ. =)

lol you're hilarious

 

[Dahbomb]

Well... CJ and Andre are on par at getting beat by Champ. =)

I saw the matches. FChamp was out playing Andre but Andre wasn't making poor, bone headed decisions nor was he dropping a ton of combos. His movement especially with Wesker was crispy. Watching those matches actually re-affirms my position on the Andre vs CJ match.

 

[enzo_gt]

$400 on CJ vs. Andre.

so hype.

Plus Dahbomb will be rocking that CJ avatar

 

[Ragingnight]

andre is looking pretty good to be honest. Not amazing but solid.

Andre is TAC happy from what I've seen. I haven't even seen him attempt one sword loop with Vergil yet, I think he finally understands he can't do them so goes for TAC instead.

Edit: just when I say that he finally does one LOL.

 

[enzo_gt]

Yeah he's definitely dropping less combos than CJShowstopper now.

EDIT: Viscant bout to hit the station soon

EDIT2: Viscant running Zero/Doom/Phoenix. Fraud game being commentated by a fraud.

EDIT3: His Zero is AAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS. Dat S tier blocking tho

 

[Gr1mLock]

Omg. Viscant's zero is fucking terrible.

 

[Frantic]

Viscant's Zero is as bad as my Zero.

And my Zero is bad.

 

[WesternHeretic]

Viscant's Zero is as bad as my Zero.

And my Zero is bad.

The thing is he doesn't need a good Zero. His team is pick two characters who can build meter for PHX.

His damage output out of Zero/Doom is just pathetic, but it doesn't matter since it gives him meters.

Edit: Yipes top 8 prediction is GDLK!

 

[biosnake20]

Obama in marvel top 3 confirmed.

 

[enzo_gt]

Spoiler

Drunk

Yipes predictions for Marvel top 8:

1. God
2. Yipes
3. Obama
4. Flash Gordon
5. Ms. Piggy
6. Kermit the Frog
7. CJShowstopper
8. OMGitzAndre

EDIT: Yipes about to fucking destroy Viscant right now.

 

[mr. puppy]

wtf viscant been going to the gym or something? dude doesn't look like a heroin addict anymore

 

[EarlyEarly]

Yipes movement really is ridiculous.

 

[enzo_gt]

Yipes taking the drink right after he got foot dived.

[Professor Beef]

God couldn't even make it in time to tag with Shawn Michaels. How the fuck is he gonna win Marvel?

 

[TheThunder]

Take a swing for every footdive, Die the next day from alcohol poisoning.

 

[biosnake20]

YES finally more people using dante's ridiculous thc potential.

edit: yipes is about to pass out

 

[slightconfuse]

Yipes is drunked up

 

[enzo_gt]

Can Dante's snapback destroy projectiles like some of his normals can?
