Apex 2013 Chris G vs Filipino Champ Grand Final (HD) + IFC Yipes comments

[@JamesakaVicious]

Really Chris? Complain about the announcements over the intercom and you have headphones? SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[@Somebodys-unc]

Yea cause champ was on a rise then outta nowhere the momentum switch... dam..

[@fozymilograno]

Chris is intelligent but so emotional...

[@xxMLGxxUNICORNxx969]

I honestly don't like Chris G. but for all the people who say that Morrigan is cheap, SHE IS, but how Chris plays, it is ACTUALLY hard to do these combinations

[@DragonMasterSubo]

I like how this game has evolved. There's a lot of acceptable play styles, and not just rushdown or keep away. Wish I kept up with it.

[@HebrewGamer100]

don't hate the player, hate the game. they're all playing within the mechanics of the game. the soul steal clincher by christopher was of divine appointment.

[@houyiapollo7848]

out of curiosity, how much do umvc3 tournaments generally pay?

[@K1dDRoB0t]

"his best button is back" LMFAO

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

how is anyone saying that the combo into soul steal is unfair lol, it takes a quarter of a single bar and no one even knew you could combo into it, it's impractical as fuck and the fact that it was used to take the tournament deserves props, not salt

[@specializedrlz5207]

Phoenix Best Character

[@C0rgs]

I agree with you. He is a extremely smart player which is why he plays Morrigan in the first place. Rush down is such a risk in this game.

[@SoulSpy123]

I look forward the day when Chris G will go an entire game without bitching about something when he loses.

[@joshuaenrique12089]

Rather a soul fist then a Phoenix bro

[@rickiiicee501]

+Joshua Enrique fuck no

[@Justincredible83]

I think the arcade sticks have a headphone jack so that each player has a way to hear the game audio without interference from the crowd, sometimes the headset wires can have shorts in them from a lot of use, or the mufflers on the headsets can't block out all of the noise from the crowd, but as yipes was saying maybe it was a stall tactic to slow down filipino champ's momentum

[@bo0tyful]

Top 8 was held in the smash room (that's where the stage was) and the announcements were constantly made over the mic through the PA system which was 2x louder than the game. Outside of half way into grand finals of AE, there was actually no sound, for any of the games. Chris was upset because he couldn't hear any assist because you couldn't hear the game at all and announcements were extra loud on stage.

[@XNDL44]

I wonder what is more cheap Phoenix teams or the Morrispam tactic?

[@Yawdan]

Sorry, my first comment was bad... I meant to say that I'd say Chris G and PR Rog are currently the top 2. Though I do agree with what you said about Chris G and Filipino Champs strategies. Champ's Dorm/Doom shell nets him bars before any of his characters die. Though they may not be the most entertaining (I don't mind watching their matches), both of their styles are really effective.

[@FreeWater]

Champ says the soul steal wasn't "fair" but yet he relies on Dark Phoenix.

[@BRayBillyRay]

lol what. Dark Phoenix is a back up plan, he can actually use her, she takes more skill than using Dark Vergil. Besides, all Phoenix tech was found/created by Champ, and most of his games he doesn't need Phoenix.

[@kikook222]

silence305 Lol, takes more skill? Are you joking. Dark Phoenix is just mashing L. Get a clue. Dark Vergil take more skill, you don't see Dark Phoenix being beaten out by Dark Vergil...I wonder why?

[@fozymilograno]

lame vs lame...

[@Pen7Ninja]

These 2 are the best in the world in the way that they use their strategies to beat everyone else. That's pretty much how you get to be the best... you beat everyone else. They've obviously found a good way to go about it. Just because you don't want to watch morri-doom or phoenix doesn't mean that they don't win tournaments when played well.

[@AlexTriGGerz]

Okay... I dont really understand how Chris G's headset works... so yea i'm pretty stupid and im interested on those head sets... so can anyone tell me how it works? Would be much appreciation.

[@Oreonstar41]

how much does he get!?

[@marbleplexus]

It's safe to say chris g's team counters everything. It counters rush down, keep away and soul drain is a good counter to even pheonix

[@SJtheMFZB]

I saw it coming, Yipes saw it coming, anyone who watched the FT15 at SBA saw it coming since he's more than proven in the past that he can whomp Champ's Phoenix with just Morrigan. Like I said, Yipes already told us it was coming at the start, and Ultradavid just shrugged him off.

[@screenwriterdave]

Not playing for fun is taking it a bit far. He's doing it for both. Ain't nobody about to go through all that traveling, planning, practicing for a video game, and NOT have fun.

[@SJtheMFZB]

Ultradavid should have been paying attention when Yipes told him ChrisG had Soul Steal combos. It just felt out of place for him to get hyped about it at the end.

[@matstarify]

Do you not pay attention to the combos, they're extravagant and also not to mention the obstacle course works doesn't it?

[@clevc112]

Fix the unfair meter gain or give all characters meter gain durring their supers. Make the game balanced. Or just add captain commando back. 😆

[@Hershey002]

I'm a ChrisG fan and I love to see Filipinochamp lose so I love this video. GO CHRIS!

[@K1ngZer01]

Phoenix: Its ok i got 5 bars Morrigan: YOUR SOUL IS MINE! FATALITY

[@donfernandes9944]

please someone tell me what happened in 8:40?

[@NikolaTheCreator]

ChrisG is so smart.

[@metochi6860]

"his best button is back" fuckin dead

[@GilgameshofBabylon]

I'd be inclined to hate on Chris G too, except I've yet to see another person using Morrigan's strategy just as well as he does. Plus, I do love Gate of Babylon playstyles.

[@TraptheShape]

Chris G is such a great player.

[@HaruhiGamer]

1) Different character requires different patterns / timing on assist calls. You need to be knowledgeable of the game and it is not just spamming 236M214S. An example is watch how ChrisG plays against Varja, he is constantly aware of the assist and punishes it every time when called unmasked. 2) Morrigan actually have hard matchups, she is not invincible. It is that ChrisG plays it well. The start of the match against wolverine for example is an example of a hard obstacle for Morrigan.

[@armsilver]

8:46 *Filipino Champ the head deformed by headsets*

[@Windcito]

me too :(

[@armsilver]

@@Windcito

[@magno172]

I came here for Yipes and Yipes only.

[@ChubbsRN]

11:21 I like how Champ tagged Doom in the middle of Dorm's spell to make it safe

[@cleedow]

You should watch some big two or savage saturdays from sp00kys stream/youtube.

[@HosakaKeitarou]

Hyevins, the shenanigans. I don't think I could play mvc with all this bullet hell shit haha. It'd be too frustrating.

[@SoujiroSeta]

Después de varias finales por fin campeón

[@ggOCommando]

tbh i really like watching this strategy. it looks really badass. zoning is cool

[@SGvince22]

its "pot" based. smaller tournaments are i think. major ones have a set prize money i think

[@Lordlt82]

i agree that he is light years better than all morri players his doom isn't marlin pie but good enough and i like his vergil anchor

[@decoyoctopusra]

Mr. Bullet Hell getting salty? That's like a game of Tohou Imperishable Night getting pissed cause you beat it on Lunatic Mode.

[@PuppyProduct]

Is Yipes the only one beat Chris G Morrigan team???

[@BReyes1995]

wow, chris g is throwing those soul fists like crazy but i gotta admit, the soul steal was awesome :D

[@Revanv]

It obviously works for him and yes he is playing for money too, plus it's not cheap, if it was other players would use it. He is the only player that makes it work that good so..

[@SushiBurritoPapi]

But watching the video this was ChrisG's best games. It was actually entertaining.

[@wayfurs]

Chris G is the M2K of UMVC3

[@EagleAngelo]

the take on phoenix by chris g was godlike O_o

[@MrNeffar]

Wonderful!

[@RoofiedStreamMonster]

Morrigan: High chip damage with fire balls, very strong meter gain assist, extremely strong jumping S, Still able to gain meter while in astral vision (other characters like ryu, dante and wolverine power ups do not allow them to gain meter in that state), can steal meter with her fire balls, has the most health out of all female characters buy a pretty big margin other than shehulk. Can someone please tell me if there is anyone as strong as morrigan or anything close to that?

[@thr33swords]

there is a slow version of soul fist that drains meter

[@TheWyrdness]

Marvel always seem to get things heated, the Defend The North tournament had CJ popping off at Flux.

[@TheNewDemoman]

Welll.... Zero has TOD combos pretty free. Doom has a better S, easy high damage corner combos, a strong level 3. Can combo off of throws. C-Viper his hard and has inescapable mix-ups. Vergil can lock you down consistently for pretty much free using his swords. Not to mention that all of these characters have great assists.

[@xXxXkuramaxXx]

Goooooo Chris G!

[@basketball736]

this match is w/e but yipes makes this match one of the best =D

[@jinpartyji]

I agree, if you playing for about 100$+ you bet you ass you'll do what ever it takes to win, Some people will play fair here and there (its the name of the game at times respect your zones or get completly killed) but that wont last long, you get it and you win or you lose money.

[@Ri3mannZeta]

it's not really fighting 'four characters', phoenix is balanced around dark phoenix and you have to have an effective setup to even get her out. she also has no health and damage outside of dark phoenix form; that's the whole point of using her as a character (look how fast she gets bodied in the first match; she doesn't even last 3 seconds into the combo)

[@hetomaru66]

I personally like champ better, but Chris G is that man tho, he will fuck you up if slip up, great player.

[@BlazeAURA19]

that was so epic i pretty much shed a tear ;)

[@marbleplexus]

My reasoning, now it seems Chris G stops everyone's mobility. I'm not necessarily saying he's a bad player, He is very good but being able to steal pheonix's meter and handling other situation's makes his main team one of the best in the FGC.

[@mnm121314]

why would fchamp not use the team he use to beat chris at evo 12'? stick with what works

[@Ilovevidgames123]

So... i went to this video mainly to see what looked like some goofy headware on ChrisG, and I paused the video and got the most awesome freeze-frame of ChrisG mid-blink, looking stoned as fuck and goofy as hell. I laughed for about 10 straight minutes. That photo is now my user pic.

[@ThatBigTheCatFan]

Play for win and for fun,it doesn't matter how you play. ^

[@TheNewDemoman]

They are the best because it's effective. Entertaining: Hell nah Requiring of skill: Definitely The only time something interesting happens is when Chris G finally goes in for 1/2 a second or Champ doesn't camp behind Hidden Missiles. Still really good players though.

[@MrNeffar]

TLDR translation: try to win tournaments like him and also anyone who body's champ like that deserves a some love!

[@MrNeffar]

it is a lot of spam and with the same skill over and over largely....however he does it very carefully and cleverly and seems to be very good at calling what he should do in many a situation! I would love to be able to spam with as much skill and care as he manages to cause its pretty obvious as I've seen plenty of others try that it isn't that simple!

[@PirateZ1]

GOD LIKE. THE HERO

[@ThirtyfourEC]

2013 Battle Circuit top 3 1st/2nd Fchamp or ChrisG 3rd RayRay

[@marbleplexus]

Like i said.........I'm not denying he's one of the best but this team is the best of Chris G's many teams

[@froggouk2]

If he wears a hat UNDER his headphones, he WILL hear everything else, jesus.

[@kikook222]

Because if they ban characters the game will essentially be boring in it's own right. You cannot justify banning Phoenix without banning Doctor Doom, Morrigan, Vergil, Wesker, Spencer, Zero, and a few others. Once you start banning, you open up controversy on other characters deserving of the ban.

[@lifebeyondwhat]

this match was sick.....

[@bo0tyful]

It actually made top 8 for all the games really unhype.

[@Gundamknight2423]

Anyone noticed the time length on the video is "13:37, 1337" =D

[@JollyJellie]

Honestly, it takes minimal skill to do what ChrisG is doing 80% of these matches. A Phoenix team is probably the best team to go with. It's not the player, it's the team that gets ChrisG that far. Deny it if you want but that's a cold hard fact.

[@foxboy72006]

I know what you mean I truely do. I'm not saying that people don't do the same shit online because I see it online all the fucking time. It just makes me sick to know that I grew up on fighting games and the originality I grew up with is dead. Hell I remember when I watched a few Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 tournaments and the excitement was through the roof because nothing was EVER the same shit! Always down to the wire that's what this game needs but I know it will never happen sadly :(

[@bloodyclaws]

bullet hell is way more fair than phoenix. Just take a look with your own eyes. The match ends about 20 seconds after dark phoenix comes out. At least in bullet hell, you can block and random factor the opponent out. One takes actual skill to maintain consistency throughout while the other needs skill to get 5 bars.

[@Aztyph]

I didn't know that Apex hosted Immaterial and Missing Power.

[@klarkus]

That was a sick combo at the end though

[@devilsephiroth9000]

Flip Champ complaining that the soul steal combo wasn't fair, while literally riding a broken character for years and sheer luck of THC combos.

[@Tekknight007]

The whole time I was like "c'mon soul steal, soul steal!" Then UltraDavid was shouts "that was a soul steal!" I was like what? I missed it! Then Phoenix came in and then boom it happens again! Man, Chris G just has them buttons!

[@SFhelper]

welcome to the club. i don't think chris's team is overpowered in any way though, doesn't get picked up nearly as much as devil may cry.

[@Justincredible83]

notice the length of video, 1337 :)

[@ChildishBrandino.]

As an iron fist player, no, I will never appreciate this

[@zero109]

Chris G has been doing soul steal for a while against Phoenix players

[@b2j135]

wait the video is 13:37 long? ICWUTUDIDTHAT

[@iamjames22]

Best moment of the match, "That's not fair!" by a Pheonix user.

[@hardrockfreak1337]

Yeah, if you know about fighting games, then you should be able to appreciate a good zoning game.

[@naurochessani1553]

soul fist soul fist soul fist come onnn crissss you are a fuckin pusssyy

[@Manyula]

Plus it's rare to see him this salty. Shows he's human in some way.

[@foxboy72006]

Yeah I know and that is the worst part about it. Most of the tournaments and competitiveness of gaming has killed what gaming is really about. Before tournaments were held starting with Street Fighter 3 and newer games people were having fun and trying new things all the time. But now these "top players" have killed what video games are supposed to be about. All they give a shit about is winning and ruin the game for everyone else. I can't stand it :(

[@shoryuken75]

I never saw that filipino guy in a GF of mvc2.. (no phoenix there? lol)

[@HungrySmileDog]

Love it

[@kokocipher]

1:58 Fight starts

[@Leo-p-Souza]

chris g when you win when you lose cries of laughter

[@Pengu1041]

Ryu gains bar when hes in Denjin mode actually

[@arch9078]

People used to say that Dorm can deal with Morrigan...seems like Dorm just can't deal with ChrisG.
