Who eliminated Justin Wong in losers?

Chris G 3-0ed him then lost to RF.

 

[xCobalt]

But guys, I thought a crowdfunded pot bonus would make players hungry and make for more hype matches?!

 

[toddhunter]

Feels like ApologyMan vs. RayRay is pretty much the final? I can't see the winner of that not taking it.

 

[Producer]

at least Clock got some of that bounty money. Being from Socal he probably made a decent amount of his money back

 

[WesternHeretic]

I'm 100% sure Cl0ckw0rk would have won an EVO in UMVC3 by now if all his matches were "off stream."

Man can not win when it matters, and is streamed.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";172334108]Man. I thought for sure Clock was gonna win it this year.[/QUOTE]Me too, man... me too.

Not only did he get classic'd by Full Schedule, he got 9th... the tears are real. ;_;

looks like it worked to me

 

[ShinMaruku]

Probably because people here try to be competitive at every game.

Explain Tokido. And really in the US people do tend to only play 1 game.

[iori9999]

actually IIRC daigo was very worried about champ. He said he was worried fighting him but assumed that other players would beat him because he plays sim.

I don't recall where I heard this but it was in some interview.

I find that odd because one of the best players in Japan for awhile was YHC Mochi who also used Sim..

 

[RocBase]

This is Clockwork's 3rd 9th place finish in Marvel 3 (2011, 2014, 2015)

just heartbreaking. this really was meant to be his year

the upsets in this tournament have been completely unreal, especially in this time of the game's lifespan

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";172334108]Man. I thought for sure Clock was gonna win it this year.[/QUOTE]

same. i had my cheer post ready and everything

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Who eliminated Justin Wong in losers?

Then Chris G got eliminated by RF who apparently ran the same team, ouch.

here's a piece Polygon did on KBR a couple of years ago. Worth a read after what happened today, and why he felt so emotional after getting top 8.

wat

 

[GreenScar]

I think thats saying a bit much since Ryans irrelevant in sf. I doubt daigo really thinks about ryan whereas ryan makes it his duty to beat daigo and help Americans beat daigo at every turn possible. It's more of a one sided rivalry if anything.

This made me envision Champ with Vegeta's hairline.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Dang, ChrisG 3-0 him. ChrisG, Clockwork, FChamp are out. Japan actually has a chance to win Marvel this year.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Gonna be at work so no Marvel for me tomorrow. =/

Whens the Japan vs USA moneymatch? That shit better be streamed!

Ah i see.

 

[crimzonflame]

man CvS2 was such a good game

 

[Timedog]

remember when Daigo tried marvel for a couple months and won a major?

 

[crimsonspider89]

I find that odd because one of the best players in Japan for awhile was YHC Mochi who also used Sim..

Fchamp's sim is different. Fchamp is really good at adapting in short sets.

So in SFIV finals he adapts to Daigo before Daigo adapts to him but in long sets Daigo usually beats Fchamp.

 

[Karsticles]

Chris G.........off stream.

Clockwork eliminated F Champ and Nemo...........off stream.

Chris G later got eliminated............off stream.

Thank you.

That's fucking brutal....


ULTIMATE MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 TOP 8

Winners

Rayray
Apology
Fruitsy
KBR

Losers

Cross
RF
Takumi
Full Schedule

Check out that team variety in winners. Aside from Doom, there aren't even any repeating characters.

remember when Daigo tried marvel for a couple months and won a major?

I don't think he did. Thinking of Tokido?

[theprodigy]

time for some Melee doubles...?

 

[Ragingnight]

I find that odd because one of the best players in Japan for awhile was YHC Mochi who also used Sim..

But Mochi hasn't beaten Daigo in tournament every single time has he? Champ is daigo's demon when daigo uses a shoto

 

[BadWolf]

I find that odd because one of the best players in Japan for awhile was YHC Mochi who also used Sim..

And he also kicked the shit out of Daigo's Ryu iirc.

 

[Dahbomb]

There are actually the same number of Japanese as Americans in Top 8.

More internationals in Marvel top 8 than Americans!


I can't process all of this....

The most unexpected Marvel top 8 ever.

I wanted Justin to repeat, but now I want RayRay to win.

Had a feeling, some of these matches definitely weren't reported on.

 

[DryEyeRelief]

who did takumi and fullschedule beat to get to top8? I don't remember seeing the matches, did they happen offscreen?

yeah we don't know. we're just assuming because we didn't see the matchups.

 

[Wallach]

It sounds like Dizzy knocked Takumi out to take the last top 8 spot, actually.

 

[TheSeks]

Well if it dies in America it dies everywhere else.

Not if KaneBlueRiver continues to support it. He's been pretty much flying around the world to play Marvel pretty much everywhere. I'm wondering if he's part of the reason Japan "sparked" onto Marvel.

 

[iori9999]

Fchamp's sim is different. Fchamp is really good at adapting in short sets.

So in SFIV finals he adapts to Daigo before Daigo adapts to him but in long sets Daigo usually beats Fchamp.

That's kind of odd as well considered Japan used a one and done format for the longest time.. Like SBO.. But props to Champ for his strategy..

The hell? Why were the streams taken down if there are more matches?

Unless they were both already in progress? Streams were over a while ago, though.
