Man Phoenix Wright has to be one of the coolest fighting game characters ever.

[@NataliaNeeSama]

would be a shame if he wasn't present for the next game... oh wait.... :(

[@simonelovino4021]

@@NataliaNeeSama It's truly a shame that he isn't in MVCI and also in Smash.

Big facts i missed half of it but I was super lit

[@shioribaka7249]

I just recently watch game with commentary and I really appreciate all the different styles. JM's technical commentary are so educational and clear (the footsie tournament really drag me in). Yipes and Tasty Steve are so energetic which makes me hype all night.

[@kigami1449]

I definitely want to see more highlights. I'd love to see more of the "Great Moments in Fighting Game History" as well if you ever plan to bring that back.

[@GiggityNinja]

Great commentary, kept me hyped up the whole time. Your excitement is contagious

[@NinjaWelshman]

Marvel 3 is so fast and has so much going on that as a casual observer I could never understand what was going on so thanks for breaking it down. Looks like it was a great tournament. Well done to everyone involved!!

[@MrFatKat]

Amazing work! I will definitely sharing this with everyone (all the newer player specially). You help the fighting game community so much thank you!

[@rubiks5659]

Thank you for another great video. I love the analysis and highlight videos that give insight into games i might not have played or will get the chance to understand in depth. Your enthusiasm and knowledge are what I come back for. Keep it up!

[@yuankun99]

I love watching RyanLV not only cause he actually knows how to use regular Phoenix but his Chun Li is amazing. He actually fully master all of his 3 characters. All of them are a threat, not only Phoenix. Morrican, Chun Li and Phoenix are all a huge threat on their own.

[@TheImabigfag]

Buddy I love your commentary over MVC3 your love for fighting games really shows. Much respect keep up the videos

I also happened to try out mvci again and im wondering if you guys are gonna do a tourney for that one as well? After replaying it again it seems way too much more fun for me than this one, so im just wondering about any recent big tournaments I can watch. I can’t participate in online tourneys due to NAT type issues, but watching them is even more fun sometimes.

[@phillipthao5130]

7:42 i think he was trying to set up viper's charged focus attack (which is un-blockable) by doing a team super and hitting with focus attack, but he swapped into Amaterasu by mistake, and because of that his timing was off for the team super and got hit with the merry christmas. Also EX Thunder knuckle has I frames on start up, but he got hit out of it twice.
