Got 3rd (edit: 5th?) place at Seasons Beatings for Marvel 2, disappeared off the face of the Earth, then trained up his local scene (FullSchedule included) in Marvel 3. Some of the North Florida boys have an amusingly bad habit of talking up their friends' ability too much and it just kind of built Mixup into this bizarre myth. They're also the only scene I've played with who still have a lot of players that go out of their way to avoid being seen (on stream and elsewhere) in order to hide their tech and habits. Mixup also has a (somewhat earned, somewhat not) reputation for flaking on Marvel 3 tournaments for a while. He's supposed to have been to a few big events at this point and he's just never been able to show for one reason or another.

Friday night, Mixup walked up to me in the venue, made some small talk and said it was nice to see me again, etc... and it actually took me a while to realize who he was because he was the last person I expected to be there.

Marvel 3 is all figured out? Not if the Florida scene has anything to say about it!

Bless these apostles for prolonging the lifespan of Marvel by not showing themselves or their tech for the length of the lifespan itself.

BTW Shout outs to the first GG being on stream at MWC. That was a decent time waster.

Most godlike 2 minutes of my life. Playing it with them afterwards was many laughs. Hard to imagine how the series possibly took off after how um...unique that game is.

LMAO @ the FChamp/Full Schedule drama on twitter.

Also I have no idea who Mixup is.

In any case FChamp would whoop both in a MM. The EBT thing was hilarious though...

Mixup was always regarded as a mythological figure in the few Marvel circles I got acquainted with during my time playing Marvel 3. I actually thought at one point he was just an ascended meme for those hardcore lab warriors that's fostered the current generation of God's Beards and Dahs. :p

Just because you're good at MvC2 didn't mean you were good at UMvC3.

dont be silly no one disputes this

but you should at least know the name and the potential


mvc2 specifically is interesting in fighting games as a case study because it probably had the most exclusive players (in that they played that game and nothing else)

i think the amount of similarities between marvel 2 and melee are really cool. they are like 2 sides of one coin. one was for arcade culture the other for console, and their lifespan trajectories up until 2008 were about the same too.

I know about the potential, and the potential is that he got his ass owned when he finally came out for a streamed tournament.

I've been thinking the SAME thing. I really wish someone would do a documentary on the history of MVC2 and the juxtaposition between New York and California scene. A lot of the stories I hear between them are pretty great... especially just how marvel 2 dictated people's lives like no other game not named melee.

You were in the alpha 3 room? I try to test out roms that I get recently and I noticed he sends challenge requests before my screen can load lol. I have seen him play Art before, his Rolento is damn good.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how to get my pad going (which actually worked thankfully) and I heard like 4 requests go off in a row.

Also thanks alpha 3 for being the only Street Fighter game where throwing is forward and 2 punches or kicks

literally the most legendary marvel tournament in history


bonus: this is also the infamous "marn killed GG" tournament
Click to expand...
I didn't realize this was Mixup from MVC2 era. I seriously thought it was a random nobody Mixup (it happens). I wasn't really following the Twitter conversation and the name slipped my mind.

It was like that time when Norcal where hyping up some Chris player and then when I saw the dude play I realized it was in fact Chris Schmidt.

And yeah that tournament was pretty godly. The names are recognizable all the way down to top 16 definitely a stacked as fuck tournament.


But what's more curious is that Tekken DR had 98 entrants to MVC2's 80 entrants (and this was Seasons Beating.. a tournament known for Marvel).

It makes the most sense for Capcom to bring whatever build they will bring to E3. Carrying around multiple builds (that would have to be bug tested and what not) seems like a waste of time and energy.
Click to expand...

I hope they have a build with at least 5 characters in it. Last time we saw a lick of the build was at Capcom Cup and then at that Japanese event that had the same build. Around 6 months to polish the game and get some fleshed out characters running in the game. They probably had prototypes for quite a few characters but obviously didn't mention much for the hype/they weren't ready to be seen.

Well Youngblood, congratulations as you have successfully missed the point. Regardless of his mvc3 career (or lack thereof) he has a decorated history in mvc2 and part of being a player means knowing your games history.

ofc, given your quality of input, I assume you are nothing more than a stream viewer/cheerleader who doesn't actually play. For you this might be better. Stay casual young man.

Yea those were interesting times for sure. And your footnote about tekken entrants is another exhibit in the "why is tekken dead in North america" mystery...

Not very. I played on console years ago and got decent, but it's a slow climb back to where I was before.

oh I just got through playing with onemic I'm kinda bummed from the losses, you can probably play him if he's down but he's in Canada but the connection was not bad and I'm in Florida.

And when I see you on stream, I know you're going straight to 0-2 no matter what tournament you're in.

I know about Mixup's history just as much as you seem to have. He got exposed in a game that hasn't shown success in, that's all.

(BTW, I'm 30).
