What a comeback in the first game!

[@hacksignify]

XD In that second game I was reminded how oppressive magneto was. He rushed cable down from one corner to the other. There was no escape, you were going to get hit.

[@RSONE32]

@9:14 I still remember going ape shit with Bill, Potter and Pigadoken when he double snapped Yipes with Spiral.

[@ChuckieManioItsReallyMe]

First move in the match is a tag-in, and it fucking hits hahaha

[@MS-ql8ek]

since most magneto players hold down LK(1 frame) it gets beat by raw tag but it's risky

[@khaluu2000]

Geezus i forgot to bring the guac and salsa cause Duc always brings so much chips.

[@Montrovantis]

lame.

[@SixxPleb]

In the words of the great IFC Yipes "Buss Ass"

[@doobie1984]

what a great match! Saw stuff from these two I have never seen other players pull off.

[@Spawn3X5]

I like when yipes fed up with spiral

[@ofreeloveo]

Nice spiral

[@RickBrood]

Was there for this. My boy Duc pwned east coast.

[@JayFlacko]

Duc spiral laming some shit out!!

[@Montrovantis]

One must have such an onions mentality to play spiral.

[@FingerinUrDaughter]

ahh magneto. the guy where you know if he touches you, that character is dead.

[@Montrovantis]

Ahh, spiral. The guy where you know if he doesn't touch you you're dead.

[@sammisti]

regardless of who wins, that tag right off the bat is so disrespectful

[@zachdms]

I still can't tell if that's deliberate. Spiral has a couple tricky openers, and glitched tag can be tricky ... but following that up with jump fierce just doesn't make sense. :\

[@onemuststand7353]

@@zachdms Yeah. I personally can't see it being on purpose. The fact that Duc followed it up with a jump back fierce seemed like he immediately went on a pattern defensive because he didn't know what to do next.

[@Noctsranun]

4:07 Dat ROM

[@GildersGambit]

Yipes is the filthiest marvel player alive at the 4:29 timestamp.

[@FilthGnasty]

That was just way too good

[@salt7582]

when mag and storm went into the corner omg i love it, like it was time for duc to EAT! yipes is over hyped imo

[@shaoiliu]

Well...love him or hate him..he is one of the only 4 people to win Evo MvC2.

[@MagnusSentDooM]

He fucked up when he played cyclops lol. Yipes one of the best. His mix ups and speed is still good based on his recent streams. Still want to see him vs Khaos

[@KingHoDoKaN]

Lmao overhyped?

[@marc07112]

Ducdo plays like Chris g, I hate it!

[@augustgreig9420]

I love it! You have no idea how hard this is until you try it. It requires perfect spacing to execute correctly and safely. If it was easy, everyone would do it. Both games reward aggression to the point where there have been players who were basically frauds playing flowchart offense who have won tournaments against serious competition. Zoning is offense, but it's not like rushdown, because both games are geared towards rushdown. What that means is, both Duc and Chris rely upon great defense, because if either of them lose their point character early they're at a significant disadvantage.

[@ksmoove12able]

Wtf lol. Chris G in Mvc3 in nothing to the execution required by Duc to pull this off and talk about Yipes! Who in Mvc3 is more scarier than Ifc Yipes MSP in Mvc2? Nobody homie.

[@fleshkilla999]

traps in mvc2 were actually hard to do. At mid to high level mvc2 spiral usually just gets raped by everyone ...theres a reason there are only like 3-4 spirals that compete at this level.

[@anthonymanzo9880]

@@augustgreig9420 I always shake my head at the "If it was so easy, everyone would be doing it." Like really you think anyone would dedicate that much time into developing a play style that shuts down the core of the game. No mix ups, no techs, no setups, no combos, no reads, no opportunity for variables. Most people compete to win yes, but if your whole game is to strip away all the elements that people play it for; are you really winning?
