UMVC3 Grand Finals LB NYChrisG vs PR Balrog NEC XII Tournament

[@Jack-mi9ok]

And thus, spam Morrigan was born.

[@Sonicisbadazz]

Chris G is an incredible player. This is honestly the first time I've seen him get beaten in a long time. It looks like he took the loss to heart, which I don't think he should. You win 10 tournaments (roughly) and then lose 1, that's still an incredible record.

[@Chaud31423]

So was this before ChrisG made the deal with the devil and went with Morridoom? Cause he's playing really well here, very entertaining to watch.

[@pishpone]

Almost 9 years latter and I’m still enjoying those matches for a second time

[@BobSpotOn]

Ryu said: "I'm not left handed".

[@LivncA_Dis3]

Chris g with his Hawkeye and Ryu was such a bliss to watch!

[@CactuarJakku]

The moment Chris G decided to play Morgana.

[@Bananacookielord]

this isnt league ...

[@Adeptzed]

Man, that was a solid matchup. Thank you Spooky!

[@Suntro]

That was before. He now does rushdown with all of his lineup. From when he started playing Morrigan to recently he always played hard lame, he improvised his style and took the criticism into account and now plays a very aggressive and rushdown Morg, it wasn't always like that.

[@juliandilonez9759]

the day morridoom vergil chris G was born. To be honest, this should of never gotten that far.

[@AwesomeTheMighty]

Yipes, easily the most entertaining Marvel Commentator there is.

[@CatSkinCap]

5:15 BADASS Ryu...

[@danflak6363]

People complaining about Chris G's current team is so frustrating..... He's not competing to entertain he's there to win. He has chose a great strategy which was birthed by his knowledge of the game. Also "cheap" means good. Wise up guys...

[@Ilyak1986]

Woot! Logan absolutely tearing it up! The only thing that this was missing was PR Rog using Jean instead of Wesker -.-...

[@jackalhunt1]

@SethRiku I agree, his tron level 3 in that match won my respect. Been a huge fan of his ever since.

[@PINOYwitRICEhat]

@casketgrind you tiger knee it. basically you do the QCF motion, but add upfoward at the end of the motion. this would make you jump, thus canceling launcher. then, you cancel the pre-jump frames with the special move.

[@TakashiHankuro]

Chris Picked up morrigan around the beginning of january. He did use morrigan with his pheonix wright team, but then his assist got nerfed (Which I think it's a load of boloney) but that was just him testing a new team for a tournament.

[@Suntro]

What are the Ryu combos at 5:17 and 9:27 ? I can never get the second juggle off the tatsumaki

[@BlueCatzi]

@Naraflames Oh joy a new meme?! Can you tell me what it is lol and its origin? I'm always behind on them..

[@TheRealKiller01]

@ItzClobert Jwong is the original Wolverine, but I feel Balrog is getting the upper hand with the Spencer assist. He always finds an opening to the enemy's defense with the Assist + Berserker/DiveKick.

[@TakashiHankuro]

hardcore laming? have you've seen the rushdown he's done with morrigan? He does lame from time to time but doesn't everyone else? when they need to zone, they need to zone.

[@Ilyak1986]

@shindean My point exactly. I think Capcom did a massive disservice by annihilating Phoenix's viability. I so would have loved to see her ripping it up just because she's so freaking pretty.

[@stevenm88]

@MrHeartFucker from Sagat's old tiger knee motion d, df, f, uf it's used for jump cancel supers like hard drive or hyper viper beam from mvc2 ya dig?

[@pyrotek88]

that was a SICK match!!!. Much love ChrisG

[@Fl1psyde]

@AeroTheFallenAngel ya i see where your coming from, ageojoe's appearance at final round was a breath of fresh air.

[@ITZERNIE12]

without a doubt yipes makes these vids hype such a great commentator

[@bo0tyful]

No, the reason PR Rog didn't play Chris' Morrigan team is because he had not yet perfected the team, most of his off-stream matches were actually played with that team.

[@bmagsalan]

@blazinboi031 He lost some invincibility in his beserker slash I believe. Also, they shrunk the hit box for his dive kick, so it's actually possible to drop a Wolvie combo. Oh ya, they added swiss cheese which is supposed stop people from mashing on LP? I'm not to sure because I haven't even touched Wolverine in UMVC3.

[@bensum9111]

Ah the days before Chrisg was playing Morrigan.

[@MastadonicBeast]

Man good looking out on putting this one up Spooky.

[@Tampaandrewful]

I can understand that, though. Like Taskmaster and Nemesis could just switch what's in their hand, but Spencer's arm is literally only his right.

[@DMCJackpot2]

Not necessarily. "Cheap" would usually mean that those good enough to beat it can't counter it -yet-, not that the other guys "aren't good enough to beat it."

[@Sk8erboyZer0]

Yuppers. Road to Evo ended a lil while ago, and this game is on the lineup for Evo 2012 in two months.

[@Fujibeam]

@TheRaptureSea The only reason PRBalrog didn't face his Morrigan team at this tournament was because, Chris G had not yet come up with that team yet.

[@marcushidalgo159]

I always find it funny when spencer's mech arm changes left to right..

[@blueberrylesbian]

That always freaking happens. The moment you change an unwanted hyper combo into a quarter circle motion, the game treats it as a dragon punch because the second hyper happens in the same frame. Last Match was an epic fail, but dem's the breaks.

[@chipenduck]

@TennAkeySAINT he actually stopped his morrigan play for a try out team and now plays a very low tier team as his new try out team with hsien-ko, x23, and chunli.

[@chipenduck]

@TennAkeySAINT nvm in the latest tournament he went back to morrigan x( but for a while he was rocking that team.

[@jackalhunt1]

That shit was TENSE. Love it when it goes right down to the wire.

[@SiL3ntWolF17]

I watch this because of 50% players 50% Yipes on the mic he always makes me laugh great job man

[@LocalbattlesNJ]

Follow NYChrisG on Twitter if you enjoyed watching this match.

[@perplexshytt]

if Chris G would have landed Ryu's level 3 @ 17:40, he would have won. But, it is what it is. Great grandfinal from both.

[@Tampaandrewful]

I just realized that Spencer's Bionic Arm switches sides depending one what side of the screen he's on, that's so stupid.

[@slippy112792]

did you read how old this is..? This is classic...

[@Aureliants]

I like very much Chirs G, cause he isnt impulsive, as an impulsive person i am, i admire him try every day to do things wisely and calm.

[@Fujibeam]

Ahhh, that makes sense. I was not aware of that. Thanks for the correction man.

[@BrotherShaw]

I want to see Firebrand in action! He's one of my favorites. Anyone got videos on him so I can learn more combos?

[@c0wboys4life]

that combo with ryu chris g did was straight nasty!...he need to go back to using this team love watching ryu go to work

[@digitulpunk]

That is one sick Ryu! Glad to see that he is being played high level.

[@casketgrind]

how is PR balrog canceling the launch into a grappling hook? ive tried this and i cant do it cuz after launch seems like spencer cant special cancel it ???

[@Dondoneit97]

i had so much respect for Chris G when he played this teaM

[@chipenduck]

@BecauseIs ye that trues pr made a few too like the accidental xfactor, but this match was really in chrisg's favor. alot of people would say chrisg is the best umvc3 player tied with combo. a bunch of the chrisg's losses came from taking pr balrog to lightly, or choking up, like he did against wesker. pr balrog's wolverine was putting in some work tho. that spencer assist mix up on incoming characters made me feel bad for chrisg just watching it.

[@SoulHeartRS]

Yo man, don't be a hater on these guys. They're just a whole bunch of people coming to one place to play a game they all love. To like or not is your choice. But seriously, don't dis the commentators. I just because you don't their voices, doesn't mean you should be hate'n on them.

[@Japinoyful]

9:49 That guy behind ChrisG doing the Denjin Ryu pose.

[@atltallone907]

I LOVE when people use Ryu...such a CLASSIC!

[@majinshenmue]

At 12:20 why don't people ever change out fighters that are about to die? What am I missing here?

[@Horizon_29]

Shoutouts to IFC Yipes with the epic voice crack at 2:24

[@jackalhunt1]

@SethRiku That too xD His skills with dante in that match where beautiful.

[@aesjuliand]

i need to see chris g's hand movement on the arcade stick when he was trying to do the super

[@JusticeSoulTuna]

Damn that was sad at the end...just Wesker against PR's whole team, and Chris G's face as well. Man, he was so close to winning and it just ends like this. Good stuff from PR though still

[@TennAkeySAINT]

Wasn't really active in MvC2 you say? Conversation over.

[@alvich]

chris had a more offensive play style that time, he sure is my favorite player using ryu and morrigan offense and defense god!

[@VacuousTerminus]

does bionic arm do as much damage as gimlet? seems kind of low and pathetic damage considering it's not as safe or free to do...

[@DrunkenSamurai18]

damn wat time was this? half those ppl in the background like tired

[@weaponx1985wolverine]

12:59 is brutal. That damage. Is AWESOME.

[@borborygmbobolink]

@Naraflames UMADBRO?

[@TheNinjasProductions]

@zer0Degreez ChrisG was probably disappointed in himself because he accidently buffered the dp motion instead of the shinku he coulda easily won then by dhc-ing from the shinku into hawkeye's super, i feel his pain :(

[@17absolut]

9:25 mission 10 combo perfectly executed ! I still have a rough time placin it in a real match... 9:45 my man laughin in PR-Rog's ear though #LoveTheJoy #MesmorisedbyTheShoto

[@GoodByeJorge]

that happens to all the characters in the game, if you haven't noticed

[@bo0tyful]

Damn now Hawkeye's a problem too. PR Rog has Spencer (one touch kill), Wolverine (one of the cheapest characters there are) and Wesker (op dmg esp with xfactor), but Hawkeye's the problem, seems legit.

[@Noxalyz]

Exactly, and thank you. I hate it when people bitch about one character being ever so broken over other is UMvC3. THIS game, out of all the other games, is probably the cheapest, with more loops/one-touch-of-deaths/zoning mechanics than any other competitive fighting game. So why anyone bitches about one character being more broken than another in this game is beyond me.

[@TechMansoor]

are people still having tournaments on this game?

[@SlamsdaR]

9:25 hey hey hey hey hey hey hey heyheyheyheyhey HADOOOOOOKEEEEEENNNNN SICK COMBO!

[@Quiqueleal85]

i think chris G is the best Marvel3 dude out there even if he is cheap, but this was so much fun to watch even if he lost i bet he could take it with his main team... but he looked discouraged for his loss...

[@Demondscott]

@thisismynew Oh,ok.i'll give it another look.i like his firebrand&hawkeye!i hate that these tournaments are for big money.i would love to see more variety.hulk,rocket raccoon,Chris redfield.but I know it's about keeping up with the weskers

[@giantrex591]

@stevenm88 ah thanks, didnt know that. always got problems with that kind of stuff.

[@ONIGIRIKINGU]

Look at balrog hes enjoying the matches you could see him smile

[@t41359]

@dandalfthegreat well, chrisg missed the metsu/shinkuu hadouken at the end and paid for it.

[@bo0tyful]

Plus, he's also Puerto Rican - Christopher GONZALEZ.

[@giantrex591]

what does the term "to tiger knee something" mean?

[@tscorzo]

Damn, i think PR Rog thought Chris G was Viscant....he looked like he wanted revenge lol

[@aesjuliand]

@SoapManpv yes and to be quite honest Chris G should have did shinku hadoken not shin shoryuken WTF was this guy thinking??

[@SJtheMFZB]

This video very much illustrates why everyone needs to be using Wesker.

[@shoryurepa1]

THat was a good match up. PRbalrog did hella good. Mad props to ChrisG though for putting up a good fight. Love those Ryu combos

[@TennAkeySAINT]

@chipenduck Woah seriously? link to a video?

[@TPCisco]

9:28 a new catchphrase is born for Ryu

[@sefsins634]

ok im gonna say it i never liked balrog because his doom was nothing but random footdives and hope for the best, but here he really shows he can play not only aggrive but also smart. respect to him for this :) chrisg is just a top player regardless of his team, but i have to say this team was a bit lacking in some way :(

[@ThatOneGuyBen]

Ya know...it's REALLY weird seeing Chris G not using Morrigan. I know this is before he started using her but still.

[@GHIIIGNT]

That last match was a huge mistake for Chris. He is so much better than PR. Still, props to PR for keeping it up so well.

[@bo0tyful]

He did do it, a game glitch caused shinshoryuken to come out instead.

[@PhiGuy1717]

Wolverine: Well, looks like ChrisG's DHC mistake with Ryu was... *puts on dead Wesker's shades* ...unacceptable! YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@Spicymemes003]

@chipenduck i agree with your arguement with becausels but i dont think pr balrog was being cocky they both played superb, they both had chances to win,they both had errors,they both had top tier characters, but balrog won and he was happy, i wouldnt have expected a different reaction from balrog.

[@thisismynew]

@Demondscott He did but pr balrog blocked the camera its towards the end

[@bo0tyful]

Please, enlighten everyone on how he disrespects other players. ChrisG is one of the most down to earth players there are, he'll even tell you have to beat his teams, People talk shit about the Morrigan team but give up in within 5 seconds of trying to do the execution to play that team.

[@KidQuipster]

That was extremely entertaining. PR Balrog makes me think of Ralph Macchio in karate kid. Hes the underdog but you just want him to win so bad

[@Ufe3d]

That delightful moment when you look at the top comment and it says when the match is gonna start. 1:04

[@gamer4047]

ChrisG makes ALMOST every team look good.

[@pablomurinellyskates]

can anyone tell me what does ryu says when he activates hado kakusei ?

[@Uberboy07]

If that Shin Shoryuken would have landed I would have head butted my dog until we screamed!

[@screenwriterdave]

This is way before Dieminion exposed Chris to the ways of the dark(stalkers)side.
