WEEK OF UMVC3 - Open Lobby Day 4

[@ExiStrife]

This was one of the best matches (all of them) I've ever seen. That last match and the match before it (and before that!) had me on such an edge it was mind numbing. Bravo!

[@SoapManpv]

never in the history of this game have i seen a triple happy birthday, thank you for showing us max!

[@Virum_SD]

That dude with the Iron Fist/Dr Strange/Thor team was a boss. That Thor Mighty Hurricane mix-up at 20:13 was *puts on shades* godlike. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

[@Scopesightzx]

"Don't scratch me, I'm playing video games." God, i love that dog

[@ytgodzilla]

THIS WHOLE SESSION WAS AWESOME. I like your Sentinel Gameplay. Your Ironman was great too. The Universal Happy Birthday had me standing at the end. It was cool how the chat was going on in the background too. Lots of room for craziness but still great stuff.

[@draconichero20]

I love how Strider goes down at 16:08 and Doom goes into X-factor with the pre-scripted "you have angered Doom!" and then just craps Hulk making it seem like Doom's avenging his BFF.

[@NekoMajinDedemaru]

Max - That Hard Drive to counter Nemesis' Bioweapon Assualt was AWESOME!

[@holmborn]

a 3 man happy birthday is what i call a Merry Christmas

[@TheDragonPick]

Max's final match: It's Strider time, baby! ... Or not... The Final Match: All that match needed was an amazing comeback by Infamous' Chris and it would have been platinum.

[@LPUMasterX]

The second fight with Mugetsu was SO amazing! That guy is the real deal!

[@pirateking56128]

Max, You have made me hyped. Congratulations.

[@saiucrozier]

"can't let Zero in or going to die" one of the best lines ever

[@acglass]

Max, you're such a nice guy when playing opponents all over the rank board!

[@GiZMOSOLiD]

Max, one of your best videos. That was a crazy team & that was great commentary. Hilarious.

[@sirleos]

I think the player with Frank West was trying to do a 3 Team Hyper COmbo so he could get a lot of hits and level up Frank, but the first time it was stopped and the three characters were caught.

[@Reyahwind1]

I love watching 'different' teams. Kudos to Mugetsu, very entertaining to watch.

[@MysticDeadman221]

One more fun fact: Vergil's VA was also a Power Ranger. Get those two facing off against each other and you can call it a crossover deluxe.

[@ralphmont8888]

Formula for max's teams: Point: Someone fun and new Mid:Good assist preferably a beam or anything cross screen the most important part Anchor: Stryder

[@songokachu]

thats why his voice sounds so familiar. A simple google search would of helped me but you pretty much helped out. With out googling now i figured out exactly which ranger.

[@TheShieldsMD]

Holy crap, I remembered the Strange, Thor, IF team from a while ago, and I thought it would never work. Then that match happened and it was amazing!

[@desmithers]

oh yeah max u can use fly cancel just like nova when doing iron man's air combo and he can also dash cancel in the air

[@GoodGuyNero]

That Nemesis counter with Hard drive was so epic!

[@Findarto7]

Haha 16:00 was priceless. *Strider dies* "YOU HAVE ANGERED DOOM!"

[@CapturedRapture]

Mug was incredible entertaining the last two games. Great stuff.

[@triggerRDY]

when Max comments the fights always makes it more exciting lol

[@kimihro4959]

I think watching Wesker is fun. He moves and strikes brutally, and his animations are fluid.

[@Jgt612]

I love how at roughly 16:18 Hulk gets rid of Strider, I can just imagine Doom's response; "YOU KILLED STRIDER?!! *X-Factor revenge *

[@RenzyTheGreat]

That hard drive counter to Nemesis super was.....incredibly smart

[@shadders43]

When your opponent calls in an assist and you catch both the point character and the assist in a combo. It's a Happy Birthday because they just gave you a present by accidentally letting you take out two characters at the same time.

[@pyrenity]

You're such a good commentator Max, it would be great to hear you commentate at EVO.

[@Apathas]

16:08 Doom: "YOU KILL STRIDER!!!" *X-Factors* Doom: "YOU HAVE ANGERED DOOM!!!"

[@Orphen059]

When 3 characters are caught at once, its called a Merry Christmas lol

[@macdrizzae]

Hey Max, something that I think would be cool would be if you took requests for a new team for you to try out for a week or something, just to mix it up a bit. Loved the Sentinel addition, keep up with the new characters!

[@GTmaster09]

man "oX Mugetsu Xo" was freaking good, that's some good stuff right there

[@schwazala]

Don't hate me for saying this but when oXMugetsuXo had that rematch against Max I actually cheered vigorously when he beat him. Just amazing.

[@McBuffenFitnessReal]

GG lol with the 3 characters and a suicidal birthday gift for the player. And good stuff Max with the executions on the combos, etc, etc. I can't wait to see when you start to master all combos with every character. To make things more entertaining, try using more random characters and that's if you like a challenge. Well, see you next time Max.

[@MysticDeadman221]

Strider and Doom: Best Friends for Life, Doin' Work for Life

[@chubabay]

I run a Doom/Sentinel/Strider team and I have found that they all have pretty awesome synergy. Keep using Sentinel, man!

[@Neoxon619]

Fun Fact: Keiji originally made Zero with the intention to make him the next Megaman. However, he had a bad feeling that would piss people off, so he made X & made Zero X's partner (his original intentions came into fruition with Megaman Zero).

[@TheMantheon563]

actually he is going to play, according with the brackets his first match is against RDK

[@Neobanger]

I freaking love how iron man tags dr doom like simply "doom!"

[@Vrexxon]

I dont know if you know max but Sentinel is tall enough to do a fly/unfly and then relaunch without wasting a ground bounce or otg.

[@MrGrimey21]

LOl, Max Kept Mentioning Taskmaster throughout all these lobby vids. Love the lobby idea though, wish it can be done on the Ps3 also. Keep them Marvel vids coming Max, we love them.

[@RedeyedGucci1]

That last match was crazy godlike!

[@mercurius06]

If you guys wanna see great matches, type umvc3 at the search bar and choose the upload date filter. You gonna see those recent japanese tournament matches :D

[@1Mraio]

3 characters in a Happy Birthday is called a Merry Christmas

[@iTeriyakid]

The amount of times I punished that hyper is uncountable lol. It's only invincible on start up. After a few frames, you can hit him.

[@brandonallison7782]

Actually, I think that bit at 0:53, with the gunshot, the Phantom Dancin' Wesker actually went under the gunshot. Wow.

[@gssyd]

there are no super armor characters, but some characters use super armor attacks.

[@CNote317]

Man that Mugestsu is beastin it up with his IronFist/Thor/Chris squad. Damn. LOl

[@pandamanana]

... I don't think they've patched out the TAC infinites, considering that they just popped up on SRK and it's news that they won't be banned at EVO... I think we're talking about two different types of infinites.

[@Ashragi]

Max, you need to bring on Mugetsu as a guest. Do a first to 5 or something. This guy is really really really fun to watch.

[@ChildofMadness9]

Lol sense everyone is taking about Mugetsu he makes me remember why I fear doctor strange. I haven't seen one sense I lasted play the game and he still makes shake in fear. Plus that combo with him and Thor. That was just plain art!

[@SoulHeartRS]

He also played Firion in Dissidia: Final Fantasy

[@DemonicCollusion]

MERRY CHRISTMASSS :) I got one online once with Dr Strange as my last living character. X factor, counter super, then pillar super for a merry christmas :D I didn't consider it my "win" so much as his "loss."

[@Nooptema]

Isn't it called a Merry Christmas when you catch all 3 characters in a combo?

[@KazeSenoue1]

Did you guys realize that there was 2 guys talking in the first match with Mugetsu?

[@Supergunderman]

oX Mugetsu Xo knows how to go in Marvel. Mad props to that guy for rock'n Thor of all characters. Max needs a 10-15 minutes video just playing him.

[@ubadman1]

ive seen that happen with stranges attack. 5:48. it cancels all the finger lasers at dooms hand so it trades. its reall wierd

[@DrunkenShogun]

That is especially true considering that you can reset your stats at any time in this game...thanks Capcom! Being an amateur, I sure do love fighting 1st lord level amateurs.

[@jackalhunt1]

That was a good fight. I think in competition with your typical set max would win the majority of the games, but considering maxs' experience and top tier team compared to oX Mugetsu Xo low-mid team it was a great win.

[@jayfeezyfee]

after thinking about it, i wonder if they modeled the frank west alt, after the SFxT version of mega man

[@ZRovas117]

Is there like an OFFICIAL list that shows the Tier of characters? I want to know if the team I'm using is low tier. I have Phoenix Wright up front, followed by Chris and with Frank West as anchor. I use a weird team.

[@Zenthrow]

To me seeing the same foot dive x2 and strider level 3 x-factor from him gets a little old so to see him own with Wesker and Dante and dead pool even its pretty cool since I don't play Ultimate. Also, I never said everyone had to love it I just said I think he should use him once or twice.

[@animaIpath]

Fun fact - The same voice actor that plays Zero also plays Ichigo from Bleach & Sasori from Naruto Shippuden ! :D

[@eViLPaCcc]

IMO, this is the natural process of evolution. Games today need to access a wider demographic since they take more money to develop, so as well as being on consoles, they have a little simpler gamestyle for d-pads. In the times of arcade-exclusives (of being simply better on arcades due to arcade machine being a better console) they were faster and had "more accurate" hitboxes because they needed to squeeze every penny out of single players as well as please the mp crowd.

[@xeanheart]

I though 3-Character Happy Birthdays were called Merry Christmases?

[@CheshireSwift]

That end was AMAZING.

[@bahamut025]

My main team is doom/iron fist/ryu. ryu hadoken assist is great with iron fist, can pretty much run behind the hadoken.

[@Ashragi]

5:42 Yeah, dooms Fingerlaser super actually beats Dr. Stranges vishanti super. I know it doesnt look like it should. This game sometimes...

[@Manyula]

I think next time you do one of these, you should do one normal open lobby, and after that, invite the people who messaged you to come in. That gives them the reward of waiting, and you the fun of fighting new people. Everybody wins.

[@TheWil1991]

I don't why people are talking about getting in like they are pro players, these are casual matches doesn't matter who you pick so long as you are good with them, props to that iron fist and Thor player

[@whodaman777]

That was an amazing Thor. Awesome vid.

[@TheBirdman1272]

That last match was insane! Triple Happy Birthday?! WHAAAAAAA--

[@squ10id]

I was so happy when the Dr. Strange team took it. Also, does anyone else think that characters from The Venture Brothers should have appeared as guests in this game?

[@TheMechwar88]

That last match was freaking crazy.

[@Dwyrm23]

Stellar Happy Birthday, it's a thing now!!!!

[@Boyonspace]

MAX! Please open up lobbies more often! :D You don't even have to record the matches, just give us an opportunity to play with you SAAN!

[@Ryuu515]

Max I hope you get the chance to do one of these on PSN.

[@HotHandzJD]

1:27-1:35 VIDEO GAAAAMEESS!

[@aphelion895]

I see. Although IMO the pre-patch version wasn't a big deal to me. My Wolverine and Akuma bodied him pretty easily in MVC3, and they still do in UMVC3.

[@Okamii007]

that's mostly what i need i have it on ps1 and i just wanna know the inputs needed for specials and hypers

[@Yukari_MAiG]

Oh, so that's it. I misunderstood that he hasn't bought it yet. Thanks for correcting me. :)

[@DaFunB0XMaN]

Watching this on my vita feels weird... Lol i feel like ima actually in the lobby XD love watching these vids

[@ninjaman32311]

max you can extend iron mans combo after light smartbombs with crouching medium into S at 8:50

[@TheSeelieCourtier]

Mugetsu actually has me looking at Thor as a dangerous character to face now. Better start practicing for if I ever fight Mugetsu.

[@brandonallison7782]

No, I think he's won plenty of matches without Strider. Just not these ones. When me and my brother play, since we are at equal levels, it often comes down to our last characters and level 3 x-factor. Which means Spiderman (me) and Wesker (my brother). I guess against people of equal skill, it usually ends up being that way, and even though Max is really, really good, there are many out there on his skill level. Or at least that's how it seems.

[@Anomalouzs]

WE NEED TO SEE A UNIVERSAL HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[@squ10id]

They aren't either. Which is why they'd be guests. :P Sorry, The Venture Bros. just has an art style and over-the-top characters like UMVC3 that makes me think it would be a cool fit.

[@Char_Siu_Pao]

Max, I love watching your videos and listening to commentary to death but I gotta ask dude... How is the Black doom, the Magneto-Sentinel, and the Red / Black strider matching?????

[@oniaidama]

"He scares the holy balls of me" I KNEW IT MAX YER JEZUZ!!!!

[@KungPow12321]

Max, you're a really good guy. Just thought I'd say that.

[@TheTaekwondosam]

Max's one rule "DONT.FUCK.WITH.STRIDER."

[@TyrMcDohl]

Regarding audio from the voice chat, perhaps you could use an adapter to take the small connector on the headset port to a regular 3/8ths male, and then to whatever sort of line-in you have on your capture setup? I'm not sure how the X-Box headset is pinned on that connector, though, so you might need to do some research on it so that you can isolate the voice chat audio, rather than having it come through on the game audio.

[@ubadman1]

this series would be great for scv. it has a better lobby system and is fun to watch.

[@Multi6t6]

doom snapped when strider got happy birthdayed

[@loonynine22]

nice vid max always good to see a new video

[@MysticDeadman221]

Funner fact: He's also a former Power Ranger and is another Zero to boot.

[@RJM_Gaming]

this should be a lesson, never EVER judge someone based on their online rank. Awesome Games oXMugetsuXo

[@N3V3RLookBack]

when max had only strider left against Strange, i found myself shouting "NO MAX THAT ONLY COUNTERS PROJECTILES U CAN ATTACK HIM!", but oh well. ggs none the less
