Isn't Brightside there as well? Why don't you PM him wherever he is at and see if he minds running casuals if he is going?
Hope you and Brightside make top 5.

Well, that's a thing that can't be helped until you actually face it more often. It's not like it doesn't happen to everyone. Personally, due to how uncommon it is, I feel that I choke way harder when I'm winning than when I'm losing.

Damn i live in the suburbs of Chicago and I love marvel, but I'm terrible at it so I probably won't enter UFGT9. May come to watch though.
This would bother me way more than hundreds of people watching TBH. I don't need another extra thought process going on and making me doubt myself during a match, especially if under the pressure I take what they're saying as objective.

On that note, remember bring your Kronephones. Or else. So get those headphones Karst.

Haha, I have no hope of top 5. I'd be thrilled if I made top 16. My goal is just to get more involved in the offline scene for better matches. My play has started to reach the point where online isn't cutting it anymore.
Another lurker not on the spreadsheet!
I'm going here tonight for Marvel casuals. Starts at 6PM if you want to come:

I don't have the money to spend on good headphones right now.
If I started to do this seriously I would definitely invest in some, though.Professor Beef

What if Magneto had ___?
Magneto is not top 5. Too much effort required not cheap enough.
Or something.
Doom TACs and Ammy Cold Shots would be a huge support for Strider. Can also play Strider point with Doom Vergil shell for those SS DHCs.

Well, based on results the top 5 are:
1. Vergil
2. Doom
3. Morrigan
4. Wolverine
5. Spencer
That looks like a good top 5 to me. There wasn't even a Magneto in top 8 at Winter Brawl, so I don't know why everyone talks about him like he's better than he is.
TAC infinite character second is probably the truly optimal thing, I suppose. It's unfortunate since I hate TACs so much though
Strider definitely needs a high durability projectile assist to get him in in certain match-ups.
Magnus won Evo though, that's gotta count for something.
Magneto is above Spencer in results for sure. At the time of E3 Magneto was the character with the best results but hasn't won anything except Revelations since then. Still is way higher than Spencer.
Best result are Doom, Wolverine, Vergil in that order with either Morrigan or Magneto 4th. Wolverine won a bunch of tourneys in early UMVC3 when Vergil didn't even make an appearance until ECT and CEO. After Revelations he has won all but one big tournament so he is defintely very close to being 2nd best in results. Doom is #1 by a mile it's not even close.
Optimized Magneto team is something like Vergil plus Doom shell.. which is what many people in Norcal play (ShadyK, CJ, Chris Schmidt) or Doom plus Phoenix or Doom plus Ammy. Drones is his best assist though with Missiles a close second but Doom gives him TAC follow ups.

That's old stuff. When was the last time FChamp won a tournament? Not since the FT10 with ChrisG IIRC. Evo was before everyone joined the Doom and Vergil armies. The data just isn't relevant anymore. Hell, PR Balrog was between teams when Evo came.
What's an optimal Magneto team? Magneto + Missiles/Drones is key, but other than that it's pretty flexible.
Strider/Strange/Dante, Strider/Iron-Man/Dante, Strider/Doom/Dante and Strider/Magneto/Dante for teams that benefit Strider the most imo, with no real order between them.
Strider/Vergil/Doom would probably be the 'easiest' best point Strider team, though. Strider/Magneto/Vergil is also good if you want the derp. Disruptor left/rights + easy TAC infintes + anchor Vergil.

I already made him suffer earlier. I'm on my way back home from playing him in person. And yes Karst, we recorded some footage. Don't know when it'll get uploaded, so don't ask.

I hadn't even thought to ask, but cool.
It makes you a Jill user who also wants a chance to win.
I can barely use Jill and can only do simple combos, Doom=Footdive Mania, & Vergil is the only character I can claim that I'm mildly familiar with. And that's because I've been playing him since summer of 2012.
Plus, with friends, if I ever want to win via the timer I can always lvl3 x-factor mad beast Jill.

He is, but he's gonna give me the link in IRC when it is all done.
Edit: Ultimate Street Fighter (the H and H mode GB came up with) is so damn fun.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Yeah but he's just gonna cut out all the matches he loses.
Ultimate Street Fighter is a cool idea it just sucks there's no way to do it offline. Not sure if it's even possible at all right now since damage would be low iirc. I doubt you can set that for online matches.
nvm training mode

If he does that, then only one game is gonna be uploaded.
FChamp is still super relevant and is among the top 5 gods of Marvel. At his worst FChamp is #4 in the game. Infrit is in a bad character crisis moment now, I don't think he will replicate that performance again. A lot of people have leveled up since then.
The only problem with FChamp is that he isn't as hungry anymore. I mean he already won EVO. He is more motivated to win that Battle Royale than he is to win FR.
Mags/Doom/Vergil or Mags/Doom/Ammy maybe?

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
I should track down my first stream performance. It was a mess. I played sloppy as hell and the whole room was against me since we were playing against the hometown team. And then in singles on the next day, I got steamrolled by JWong on stream too.
FChamp's still at the top echelon of Marvel players. I think he could make top 8, if not top 3 at EVO.

I think Magneto is actually looking better and better as time goes on. He might be #4 overall. Magnetic Blast is a salve that covers over all wounds, and his air mobility allows him to get away from a surprising amount of BS. Also, the best Magneto team is Magneto plus any good lockdown. I think my favorite Mags team, which I have been playing a lot lately, is Magneto/Vergil/Doom (missiles, of course). I like running Vergil second on that team instead of last since he's so dirty with missiles behind him and works better for DHCing from Mags.
I'm going to take back some of the bad things I've said about Hsienko. She can actually be quite fun at a casual level.
I used a team of Hsienko(Senpu Bu)/Dante(Weasel Shot)/Sentinel(Drones) against one of my friends offline this weekend, and it actually worked quite well if I didn't get zoned out. (Also pretty bad against any sort of runaway tactics)
The safe DHC of Gold Armor -> Devil Trigger was very useful. Her mixups aren't bad in the corner, backed by Drones. I did pretty well going nuts with XF2 Hsienko + Drones.
Better movement and hit boxes on her bombs would be nice though. ... and pendulum canceling...

Norcal is probably the most competitive Marvel scene out there at the moment. I mean their weeklies are fucking brutal these days, even low tier players like CJShowstoppa have leveled up drastically while gods like PRRog settle for 4th placing. FChamp still the king of Norcal with that performance yesterday.
Okay, Marvel GAF, it's time play "Help Beckx Find an Anchor for His Team."
I run either IM or Spencer on point, Frank second. I'm looking for a good anchor with assists that synergize with them, and also anchors not named Doom, Vergil, or Dante.
I'm a terrible player so anchors that require high execution are...bad ideas. Currently running with Phoenix as anchor but there's no real synergy on that team I can find.

I just saw this video but linked on another forum... I STILL want to play Morrigan, but Morrigan execution is fucking intense.
Edit: Try Hawkeye @ Beckx
Probably Hawkeye is your best bet.
Also Hulk with manly anti-Helm Breaker punch:
http://youtu.be/y8iSxQG45-k?t=9s
I'd recommend either Hawkeye(Triple Arrows) Arthur(Daggers), or Sentinel(Drones). XF3 Arthur can be some scary shit.
I don't really think Hulk is great option for anchor. Sure he does damage, but he has poor mobility and can be zoned out easily.

Okay I'm getting really salty against spiral swords.
That's ok, I don't see any reason not to.
It's WAYYYY too good.
What can your team do against it anyways Slasher?
It seems like Gamma Crush or Order In The Count should have enough invincibility to get you through the swords, but you don't really have a safe DHC to DHC into or a hyper to punish from fullscreen...
I find it frustrating because it seems like Felicia can't do anything when spiral swords are up.
This is a good starting point to a topic I should have brought up months ago, what is that one normal you get salty as fuck getting hit with?
Right now, it's either this, Wolverine's c.L, or Hawkeye's j.H. I've almost reached zen in this game with regards to getting hit, but these moves man... I still can't get all of the rage out.
Edit: Oh fuck, forgot about online Ryus and j.L/c.L.
No Problem.
Also, here is a good Arthur combo video if you eventually want to learn some more complicated things with him.
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6l1QpqE_kHE
-Hulk's standing H, even though its my own fault for not respecting it.
-Vergil's everything, mostly because I'm online...
Cap's cr.L(obviously), Paipu(especially if it's the second or third pipe in a row, I have no confidence in throwing it :/), Doom's j.H(I hate getting hit by it because pretty much no one ever backs it with an assist, and it's so easy to punish if I just didn't jump :/), Vergil's s.H(only if it's someone who teleport + assisted me and I jumped back, they throw out s.L, and I try to punish on the way down but they're auto-ABCing and s.H comes out to whack me in the face. SO MUCH SALT) and that's about it.
I just hang my head in shame when I get hit by Foot Dive or Helm Breaker.
