UMVC3 Grand Final Flocker vs AGE NYChrisG East Coast Throwdown V Tournament

[@kitnammm]

Nice to see someone else other than Chris g to win a major. Finally bout time!

[@terranark]

that was some good stuff from both players. Interesting decisions by chris G, even more interesting decisions by Flocker. All around, good shit. Thanks for the show Spooky

[@Saiunai]

LETS SEE SOME JILL ACTION FOR ONCE!!! I think that would be spectacular to watch. I play umvc3 often online and you are right that most people use top tier characters. This is one of the main reasons why I chose to practice with Jill and C. Viper and I don't regret it at all. Yes they are technical but once you get used to them they are so fun to play and it is very gratifying when you actually win since you know you've done it with characters others deem as being weak.

[@Saiunai]

You bring up a very great point. Most tournament players who play these games come to win and use the monetary prize as a source of income. When there is that much at risk, players feel obligated to use whatever means to win even if it is lame gameplay. Thankfully there are other players on KZbin who post gameplay of characters people rarely use. One player is Paulow3b. He has some great video matches with Jill and other characters.

"My presence was not required. Wong could have taken care of you."

[@romann921]

Was there even an interview after this that had ChrisG explain WHY he dropped Vergil for the Grand Final???

[@johnabordo7482]

I wonder if the number of soul fists thrown by Chris G alone has already exceeded the number of foot dives since the beginning of marvel 3.

[@EniGmaFactor134]

It wasn't Vergil, it was the Strider assist that keeps Morrigan from spamming soulfist.

[@Zalozis]

Meta Knight was never truly banned (He was playable recently at APEX 2013) because he wasn't banned in the UK and Japan, therefore, became un-banned. Many of the top North American players have also admit that we are behind in the Brawl meta game. And Meta Knight winning over 50% of the majors by many players does not compare to Morrigan winning 95% of the majors from only one player.

[@Disapproval]

And no one is ever going to deny that. Ever. Solid team, really. That's not going to matter once Marvel has died, however.

[@xxabooodxx100]

There's actually some type of competition now.Fchamp bringing new tech.Flocker and the other guys stepping up their game.Good stuff

[@TheShieldsMD]

We're looking at you, Dark Wesker.

[@ItachiYGO]

you'll be surprised to know that Fchamp himself said Zero takes skill to use at high level during his balance change discussions. (he also said many characters were brainless, Wolverine, Hulk, Haggar, etc)

[@DigdugDak908]

4:38 Virgil!!! *PogChamp

[@CharlieK777]

I can respect this cause it's true. I'd love to see some top player trons, spidermans, x-23's, storms, etc...

[@MinkyMikaMeow]

Sour people hate Chris because he wins almost every tourney. That's changing lately - people are getting wise to how to deal with him and his team - but the guy isn't just abusing an OP composition - he's a genuinely great player who's using a team with strong synergy. People's perception is that he's using "lame" tactics (zoning) rather than playing rushdown like he used to - and that "lame" tactics don't take as much skill (which is bullshit).

[@yosoyeltupapi]

For those of you who don't remember, flocker said in the rundown that Chris only wins because he rely's on vergil and how he zones, a bit fucked up seeing how he uses zero and strider, but Chris said on his twitter he wanted to switch it up a bit and prove people wrong. Still, his mag is pretty solid seeing how without verg he still made it to 2nd. Stay salty youtube trolls

[@MrShotgunJake]

chrisg - tactical, defensive spam play, a.k.a 'the cheap stuff', a.k.a. 'laming out your opponent'. yep, chris is truly a model for all marvel players

[@jt9taxi]

When was the last time Chris g didn't get first in a tournament?

[@AndresKusanagi]

CANNOT Say ChrisG Is Making The FGC Better,His Lame Morridoom Is One Of The MAIN Reason Marvel Is Dying. We Don't See Other Characters Evolve. I Don't See Anybody Saying "Maaann Seeing Soul Fists And Hidden Missiles Is So HYPE".The Game Flourishes With Dedicated Members Who Actually Play For Fun And Make New Tech. We All Love Justin Wong's Wolverine, Alukard's Ironman,Footblat's Haggar And Hulk. These People And Others I Missed Make The Game Enjoyable For The Community!

[@Monty2289]

Indeed he is. Sarcasm or not. The guy is still really good at this game much more fighting games in general. Just because you hate his current style of play in THIS game that he perfected (Dieminion invented) doesn't mean the guy doesn't deserve so adoration for his metagame

[@DJMama97]

DAMN THAT MAGNUS FORM CHRISG!!! WHAT HE HAD THAT??11!!!

[@CoffeeCynic]

What's the consensus, was Chris sandbagging?

[@AndresKusanagi]

Who Else Thought Fooblat Vs Kanebluerivers Was One Of The Hypest Matches Ever? I Remember Seeing Chrisg Vs Jrosas ...It Was AMAZINGLY Not Hype And Boring

[@dre2kule]

I agree man, but in tourneys, where money is involved all you can expect to see is the cheap monotonous stuff...I like playing on online SOMETIMES, because every once in a while I encounter some crazy weird team with cool tech, unlike what we see in tourneys the majority of the time...just wish there were more players like RoyalFlush, KBR, Rubecks, Abegen, ApologyMan, etc...those players bring a sense of refreshment to UMvC3...

[@OctoberHourglass]

7:34 Chris G's got Magno combo's???? Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I like that.

[@ThatBigTheCatFan]

Video games are video games,and tournaments will give you money.The person can simply choose the way how to play,for win,or for fun,or both.

[@MinkyMikaMeow]

Uh, yeah. That's why he's competing in a tournament. To win. If people are mad about him winning, they should get better or run his team and beat him with it. Except they can't. Because he's -that- motherfucking good at the game. It isn't just his team. It's him. Chris G is an incredible player - and he deserves every single one of his wins. As for your opinion: You're allowed to have it; but when you post it somewhere, don't get upset when people tell you you're dumb for having it.

[@thephatblue]

Well, consider he didn't use his Vergil too.

[@ricardofigueras7597]

what year is this...

[@DeadlockABC]

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion fella. Hell even the commentators call Chris G's tactics the "Lame Game." But when he doesn't pick this team Chris G is awesome, I don't hate the guy but I think he would get less hassle and be respected more for picking another team

[@cnorw00d]

he is a guy who is COMPETING in a tournament, the point of a COMPETITION is to try to win. its a diffrent mentality than playing online where you may not care if you win

[@Cpointman417]

No one HATES Chris, everyone gets that you gotta pay the bills. But the thing is that there's no consistent way to counter MorriDoom. Yeah you gotta be patient and get your chance, but its not like anti Phoenix tech or whatever. Its not something you can do to counter it. And with things like this, either people get bored of Marvel and leave or jump on the bandwagon. Thats the best I can explain it.

[@scenario1]

I remember they were calling Flocker a fraud not long ago.. Well Norcal lol

[@KIKINURBUTT]

And why the hell did Chris drop Vergil? if it's broken don't fix it!

[@Jetanium]

I didn't know Spiral Swords could do that...

[@BasedSif]

Flocker with that next level back jump at 16:46 GENIUS

[@psyro7157]

TIL that chrisg not only has a good doom, great Vergil, and amazing morrigan, but a really good.....magneto? WHAAAAAAAA???

[@wingedsaberer]

Knock knock who's there? THE BUSTER

[@Monty2289]

Yeah I don't get that either. The man still top 3s in every game he plays nowadays. (At least Injustice and Marvel) Even then this was a great set and he could have just went with herpderp Vergil and pulled out some cheaper wins and potentially took the tourney. But he's showing new tech and people still gets annoyed that he could win and rejoice when he loses. I'm glad Flocker won because it marks a major where Zero took first and Flocker deserves it. Not because Chris G doesn't

[@edtExodus]

Strange. I have much more fun watching Morridoom than I have watching Zero or Vergil. Which one is harder to play? You decide.

[@trademark310]

ChrisG been using Magus for his infinites.

[@ULISOFTINDIEGAMES]

That Magneto's combo of Hyper was a rape in Strider!

[@GTeaO]

if you haven't notice this is a tournament.

[@jjtjp2469]

Flocker's Zero is one of the more interesting Zero's I'vs seen in a long while. I wonder why Chris G swapped Magneto in instead of Vergil. I guess because Magneto's assists are better.

[@DoctahDizzle]

Morrigan is not as OP as a lot of ppl think. This stuff happens in Marvel all the time...ppl develop new tech...seem invincible, then someone finds out how to stop it...rinse, and repeat.

[@BasedSif]

zoning is a ambiguous for all fighting games. It's the way this game works allows the more "spam zoning"

[@TakashiHankuro]

With no Buster, no assist and no meter.

[@LICraziSalvi516]

He used vergil the 1st time they played in winners and lost 3-1. There's a reason he picked magneto.

[@Tony_Shinobi1987]

Some of these guys have too much hate for the tournament players. You do realize they're playing for money, right? If I was playing at home and my friend picked morrigan, Doom, Vergil, i'd call him an asshole. These guys are not sitting at home having friendlies. At the highest level of play "playing lame" or "broken tiers" don't matter anymore. You do what you have to to get a win. Nice job Chris and Flocker

[@MrShotgunJake]

Except for the fact he did it with SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST SOUL FIST

[@Syberz2]

Awaiting "Soulfist Festival" dlc

[@BasedSif]

at least when astral illusion. Since it's sort of like a "super mode"

[@clobrintime]

wow thought i was goin to jizz at the end nice goin flocker

[@Nekros4442]

very good shit by flocker. Chris still needs to work on Magneto a bit more.

[@Dororo451]

Herpen dupra slurp?

[@Highwinddv]

So we must do anything in order to win huh? Since when did video games become something like this!?

[@MinkyMikaMeow]

I was never rude to you. I'm just telling you that the way you're thinking about a fighting game tournament is flawed if you think in terms of "It's just a game for fun; why is he so boring to watch?" Would you expect a football player to try a play that's way risky that does nothing but please the crowd during a close game? That's the sort of thing you want him to be doing: Making it about the spectator; when the point of a tournament is to play to win.

[@Highwinddv]

Yes i know that. But tournament or not, games are meant to entertain people, if he plays like that then there's no point

[@LilMotegi]

Phenomenal.

[@genshishinbo]

Zero is so cheap Mor,is so cheap too... Flocker getting his way, Chris is not .

[@manuelito1438]

After the reset, the match was sooooo free.

[@Scalpelled]

Chris spams so much, no wonder he's hated.

[@DeadlockABC]

Okay....don't forget to take your medicine.

[@vloopyart]

we used to see deadpool spiderman and captain america alot but not anymore :( oh and also ironman

[@KinetiK001]

lol @ people that have never played offline ever judging whether a game is dead

[@Loverboy207]

Well the scene will die then. The play to win mentality will only alienate other players in the future and cause people to watch less and less. Hell, I stopped watching marvel all the time because I see Doom, Vergil, Zero, and Morrigan everywhere. Ageojoe Kusoru brought magic to the game with an unusual team. He made Marvel fun to watch and he was having fun playing it. Screw play to win, I want to have fun playing games.

[@JoshuaJamesChilds]

Chris G doesnt use Vergil=not a serious bout. =needs rematch.

[@ItachiYGO]

i suppose you also think Chris G losing to flux and Richard Nguyen on the 2 weeks that followed in battle circuit / the runback was also staged. he does have a bit of a problem with Zero...more than he does against other characters at least.

[@SantiagoAgnes]

Its the first game all over again. :D

[@TheSilvermongoose]

Maaaaaaaaaan! did just see that shit?!?! ima rewind that ho.....congrats flocker!!

[@destroyer8000]

Anyone notice that Flocker X-Factor'ed at 13:17 just to taunt. :P

[@noseyloft]

nice game

[@hollowedhope]

To me, whether ChrisG is cheap comes down to how you answer this question: How does he fare when Morrigan is out of the picture? A. 1: WELL. Professionally. He'd be a serious contender even without Morrigan, which is being legitimately used as a tough bitch to beat. If so, he's NOT CHEAP. A. 2: NOT SO WELL. Amateurishly. He wouldn't be in the game if he had to replace Morrigan with some other character because his skills are just too weak. Morrigan is his saving grace. If so, he's CHEAP.

[@Dapoop151]

I think you can't really call them scrubs just because they use a game mechanic....

[@HELLSHATRED7]

I need my rent money yo

[@bomt697]

No rent money for chris this time

[@wh0racle3]

This looks like a pot split

[@bleachbeech1]

That's why we have melee and project M.

[@jt9taxi]

Morrigan should not get meter when spamming fireballs.

[@KLIUJH]

he has a responsible to win = S beside that participating in a tourney isn't free

[@dataznguy5]

lol why so much hate for ChirsG ? I admit he was boring to watch back when he just started playing Morrigan, with all those fireball spam. But nowadays, he goes in with shell kick and do nasty combos... I guess some people just can't be pleased.

[@destropher]

I hope Chris G doesn't keep winning again when he returns back to his old team.

[@viiiiiiiiiirus]

True History

[@guccindken]

that second round ♥.♥ flocker fckd him up . chris should not play magneto

[@wiiwerrock]

man you know,this is ridiculous,they should do just like they did in ssbb tournaments,they have to ban morrigan.

[@SophisticatsESPORTS]

The caps. it hurts.

[@echo64omg]

Chris G is here to win not entertain you.

[@cnorw00d]

I never get this mentality why do people care so much which characters people they never met pick. These are not professional sports, anybody can enter these tournaments, there is not a skill cap. If you want to want to see different characters at these tournaments, pick different characters and actually go to these tournaments. These players dont get paid to lose and they obviously are going to choose what they feel most comfortable with, not what some guy they never met thinks they should do

[@Gamerjuana]

Or Fooblat, Yipes, Alukard, RayRay, Moons, ect.

[@GRToxic]

i like that kusoru ageojoe from final round 15 hi is different

[@StylexSai]

When she is in Astral form she shouldn't be able to imo.

[@lLarceny]

Chris needs to find a 3rd character bad

[@Highwinddv]

I never said he didn't deserve to win. Yes i know he's really good, and i respected him for that, but respect doesn't mean that i have to like him, that's all. And if you think being rude to anyone whose opinion is not the same as you is normal then i'm done here, do what you want.

[@orenje16872]

Why does everyone hate Chris? And what's this about change? Someone please explain I'm new to the community.

[@spicybag22]

I have hate for Chris G it's the Morrigan and Doom setup that takes fun out of the game.

[@Brothersyamizaki]

alright guys. say what u wqbt but remember. .. flocker won because there was no verg. byt chrie used the real stuff on champ and won because of champs errors. doubt that'll happen next time they go at it

[@magno172]

I want to reply to this comment in a way that isn't biased towards anyone but my brain refuses to work properly today. Sorry.

[@timtran2676]

Props to Flocker

[@orenje16872]

Whine because you can't beat it. You're just like the crowd cheering in disrespect toward Chris. Flocked is the only one that's got my respect because he trained to actually counter it unlike you all who do nothing but whine.
