Marvel vs. Capcom 1 Sweatage! (NEW DATE! Saturday 10th January, 2009)

[whiplash]

just following the crowd i guess. good challeges these days are soooo damm hard to find. tekken tag and 5,mvc2,ex2 plus, svc chaos etc are all dead. This game seems to be more played.Strangly I crave for competition.

[rb]

how come u not playing kof then, players always have the kof98 sweat going and good people too.

Well, whiplash, if you're interested in getting into this game, there's no better place to be that Trincity Mall on a Saturday afternoon. Just last Saturday, me, JD and Chaos Legion (Balki, Rio and Kajun) had one serious brawl in this game (first to reach ten wins, which nobody won), and we drew in quite a crowd with our shenanigans.

If anything, I'd encourage you to get into this game.
A lot of people down here (including myself), prefer to duke it out in this game more than the others in the Marvel series, since it tends to be the most balanced out of all of them.

If you're interested (and if time permits), we could even set up a sweat for this Saturday at around 4-ish. The machine down there is one of the better ones to practice and fight on (since any other machines I know is either sticking or has the damage jacked up.)

TAKE THAT ROOTY-POOTY KOF TALK OUTTA HERE. We talks Marvel here. Marvel. Mmmyes.

[whiplash]

maybe this saturday.Ill have to practise like a little japanese teen every night then.
can u list the your rivals and the teams they play.im curious.

[New Era Outlaw]

Well, to be honest....I don't like bussing people files like that (ruins the element of surprise, after all), but since you are a worthy adversary and you're picking up an interest in this game, I'll list some of my worthier challengers here:

JD- (War Machine/Gold War Machine)
Balki - (Wolverine/Strider Hiryu)
Akil - (Gambit/Strider, Gambit/Jin)
Rio - (Wolverine/Strider, also has been known to play Captain America and Spiderman on occassion)


And, of course, you have me to contend with. Mind you, I am extremely tough in this game, even more so than in MvC2. You probably know my team already. By the way, if we do manage to make this a regular thing, perhaps we can arrange some footage sometime? There are a LOT of footage worthy moments that happen in these sweats, particularly in this game.

[Q]

I'll try to be there from 5.

[New Era Outlaw]

That's good. Any more takers?

[rb]

I'll be in the mall around then maybe, won't stay though. Iron Man ftw finally

I hear that... I'll fight until closing @ 9:10 and hit Iron Man at about 9:20.

[Jdcrys_Shinkuu]

hmm... i smell fresh meat... do we have to tenderize? or can anything happen here?...

cause i am well known for my GWM team but i usually tend to play other chars.... i think im moving on to either my old Wolv/S.Hiru or Venom mix....

May even play Chun Li...

but if he wants the beast then GWM it is...

[New Era Outlaw]

Great. All we need is Ultima and we could really shake things up. I'll try to contact Chaos Legion to join in the melee.

[Q]

I'll try my best to represent with Ryu. The Hadou must be present. MUST be...

[New Era Outlaw]

That was one awesome sweat yesterday.
Damn, Q, you really should have brought that camera yesterday.....it was grand.
But OW, my ARM. Feels like it's going to fall off.

[Q]

I'll charge it tonight. lol My bad. My VERY bad.

[Ultima]

XSF = Whoever lands first hit wins. There's a reason no one plays this game seriously at high level.

MvC1 = DWM > *

[rb]

since xmvsf was added to ggpo i been watching those guys play. Pretty jaw dropping stuff even though i've seen it countless times. Its like cr.lk with wolvie = death.. ridiculous. I saw one Gief/Juggs team that was owning hard, it was really fun to watch.

[New Era Outlaw]

I hate that game with a passion. Ironic, since you'd see me defending the Marvel series to death in any fighting game discussion, but it's so ridiculously broken that I just can't take it so seriously anymore. It's probably a joke compared to the others, given that there are a ba-zllion ways just to open up somebody for the millions (and millions) of infinites in that game.

MvC1 = DWM > *

I don't fear him anymore. I've developed quite a few strategies against him that'd make even the most durable player's jaw drop. Granted, he's still a pain in the ass, but that whole 'no blocking' thing? I take full advantage of that nowadays, particularly with Mega Man.

I saw one Gief/Juggs team that was owning hard, it was really fun to watch.

I'd like to see that, myself. Zangief could actually hold his own in some of the games, but it takes a really smart player to really give people a headache. Akil (Kajun) has quite a funny story to tell you about him, actually....


Anyway, guys....had a look at my work schedule, and I can make it to Trincity by 4:30, 5-ish in this game. Whiplash, I'd have to say you missed one hell of a sweat yesterday (we went from 3 allll the way to 9 last night), but I'm certain that a lot of challengers will show up this Saturday....at least I would.


Anybody able to come this Saturday?
After all of the sweatage that we took in yesterday, I'd say it's high time we stopped squawking about 'who can own who', and give a live performance of that.


Now, who's stepping forward?

[rb]

i think what he means is that jd's dwm is nowhere near as potent as the average foreign dwm. It's not really often that one character breaks an entire game to the point where no one wants to play it. (Ultima better not say Toki....they've found new shit that dropped him down a little bit)

[Ultima]

I haven't heard anything about HNK, so I don't know the general rankings. I wasn't even aware people were still playing that. He's dropped down a bit you say? What worse could they have found? Is Roah still great? Cause, in what little interest I have in the game, that's all I care about. :p

re: XSF

To prove that balance is overrated, XSF is probably the most balanced of the VS. games, since every character has at least one infinite can can kill you from a single hit. >:|

re: MvC1

While the game has its share of fans here, the game has effectively been solved, and it's been solved since 1999. The best team is DWM, followed closely by Strider/GM and Strider/WM (each team has slightly different strengths and weaknesses, so they're about the same). GWM doesn't break the game per se, but when he's paired with WM or Strider, forget it. It becomes a massive uphill battle. If you're beating DWM with anyone other than Strider/[G][D]WM, you're not playing against good DWM. It's that simple.

Strider/WM and Strider/GWM are only slightly less retarded than DWM. Strider is normally in a class by himself, but if you put him with a GWM who does his thing and being very hard to kill while building meter, or a WM who can fly infinite you at the drop of a hat, forget it.

Wolverine can theoretically be the best character, but that's only on a keyboard with macros implemented to make his standing/dashing infinites humanly possible (see also: Magnetro). He's very dangerous, but he's nowhere near as stupid as a GWM team.

Red Venom could go competition with Strider for most powerful character one on one, but he has a MASSIVE weakness: GWM rapes him for free. Unless your name is Arturo, you can't hope to match Red Venom against DWM even though RV beats WM pretty badly (by far the easiest character for RV to infinite, so easy that even *I* can do it).

[New Era Outlaw]

Just to repeat myself:

I'd say it's high time we stopped squawking about 'who can own who', and give a live performance.
