Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 - Justin Wong's Stunning Comeback Justin Wong vs NY Chris G - Evo 2013

Watch as Justin Wong comes back against Chris G in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. One of our favorite matches of the event!

[@ArcaneOmen2041]

And to think before EVO this kind of stuff was just an unrecorded urban legend in a local arcade.

[@butthead9023]

The bike ride to the arcade was an RPG. We started out on bikes. Hit a few side roads. A couple of corner shops. A random persons house lol. Literally. Then to the mall about 7pm. Nice n cozy. Play a few hours then ride back exhausted from yelling

This is what happens when you post a game like marvel on the IGN channel. You get random people who don't even understand the game commenting about "Morrigan spam" and how this game requires "no skill".

[@ShadowCoH316]

People who complain about "Spam" are people who don't know how to block.

[@agenttatsu]

ShadowCoH316 People who think blocking is effective against projectile spam are people who don't understand how chip damage works.

[@DeluxStart]

Tanner FixIt Are you just being a douche or do you not understand that ShadowCoH is not saying blocking ALL projectiles is the way to go, but if you can't block then the "chip damage" ends up being your whole health bar in 5 seconds. Crying about spam on a game that lets you do it is on par with boxing against an opponent just as strong as you but punches faster, excuses.

[@DeluxStart]

Not sure who you're referring to but if you were in anyway talking to me then you're wrong, #1 I am not defending spam, I simply think people who cry and COMPLAIN about an as you said, illegitimate strategy are bad at the game. If they were any decent they wouldn't just sit and complain about it, they'd do something about it like Justin Wong did. If Chris's bullshit or whatever people of the majority call it is bullshit then let the players that dominate his spam show him that. Honestly all I have is #1 though, anyone who complains about it AND loses to it should be learning to get better, not find excuses to why they lose.

The Wong Factor

[@dingleberrymore9725]

One of the most iconic and hype moments in FGC history.

[@XhaosXin]

Wong is pretty much the most well known USA fighting game competitor, having won many tournaments over the past decade with awesome matches. The reason people are rooting for him is because he was playing Chris G, who currently uses a dominant team many people don't like.

[@NatsukeShift]

Just to give everyone background since everyone is screaming and whining "Spammer" and "Lame." Justin Wong, for over 5+ years, was absolutely hated in MVC2 for what Chris did in MVC3: Dominating the field. Not only that, Justin had the lamest runaway MVC2 Storm, constantly jumping straight up into the air offscreen while gaining meter on whiffed normals. It is almost ironic that Justin Wong, a man who was hated for being completely =undefeated= (100% Win Rate in Tournament Play) for 2+ years in MVC2, is being cheered like a hero so many years later. That is why IFC Yipes said "I'd never thought I'd see the day." Because he knew, like other Old School players, that Justin was never painted as the good guy for a large portion of his playing career. Hopefully, people will realize in the next coming years that Chris G, the man who dominated MVC3 for years, will get the same treatment in the next iteration for Marvel, if it's possible to have it. But one thing to note is that Chris somewhat follows the footsteps of all the great players before him, with impeccable defense, evasion and movement. It just so happened that this time, Justin finally got him at the grandest stage of FGs.

So for the first, maybe minute-and-a-half, I see Morrigan shooting all over the place. I know it's an effective tactic to use Morrigan and Doom's missiles, but man, was that annoying to watch. Once she was gone though, it looked like it was over.

[@whitemageserenia]

man Chris G's team would be really tough to deal with, holy crap. It felt like a true underdog story to me, cause it seemed like Justin's team was grossly disadvantaged but he fought through adversity and won, that was amazing ^_^

Interesting that in one of Justin's greatest moments the words "my skills are unparalleled" would be on the screen.

I think it's sad how Chris G gets accused of "spamming" because he plays a defensive setup in a generally rush-down obsessed game. He's a pioneer, why the hate?

[@EyeOfTheMind86]

technically is not really a problem if he plays that way, but the real problem is that Morrigan should not gain meter while in astral vision. That brokes the game in my opinion and if i remember right, i don't play this game since ages, she is the only character gaining meter while using a power up skill.

SOU-SOU-SOU-SOUL FIST SOUSOUSOUSOUL FIST

[@171unknown]

Really now? I bet if someone were to count how many times Soul fist was used, it would be more than or close to a hundred. The main reason Chris was able to keep Justin at bay was due to his endless wave of Soul fist. That alone is proof of spamming and it doesn't help that he spammed with Doctor Doom for a bit. Problem?

[@171unknown]

***** Please keep in mind that this definition could vary for some people but here is my take on it. Spamming is generally the repeated use of a projectile or a cheap combo in a fighting game. For example, say we were fighting against each other in say Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I was using Zero but I kept using his projectile move over and over. That would be considered spamming. Not only would it be unfair to you but it would noobish is the term I believe, for me There are other characters that could spam as well, not just Zero or Morrigan.. If you wish to further research this matter, try looking up videos of Saki from Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

[@stopler]

171unknown Spamming and Zoning are two different things unless you don't know what are the differences in those two....

[@KalibreSteelblast]

Shining Trapezohedron Typically "zoning" consists of a set of moves and tactics geared for that purpose, rather than the repeated use of one move ad nauseam.

[@Teru922]

Everyone complaining about morrigans "spam" they don't seem to understand what they're doing. It's not morrigan that's the problem is it's morrigan/missles. ChrisG knows it and Justin knows it. At 8:30 ChrisG didn't protect doom correctly and lost doom because of it. During the storm comeback only a total of 4 soulfists touched storm due to the lack of missles. Justin is constantly playing around the missles, throwing, stopping combos and optimising combos to avoid them. Look at 14:50 ChrisG rushed down when missles DIDN'T lock down storm and ended up getting thrown

[@AngelLuhrs]

I don´t understand a single thing about what´s happening in this video, but I love it! :D

[@Bunchdude]

Jesus Christ I love Justin Wong

[@BirdManJones]

Zoning: Intentionally keeping distance/pressure on your opponent, either reading their style or forcing them into playing a certain way. Adaptive to close combat situations and able to make good on big damage opportunities. Which Chris G was doing he was forcing wolverine(a close range character) to not rush down and pressuring him. Spamming: When someone will mindlessly throw projectiles and not adapt to the opponents play style, cant perform combos.

[@kerenzikov8295]

Chris g isn't spamming he's turtling to the extreme, there's a subtle difference he's throwing those soul fists out with the objective of creating a huge defensive wall. but kudos to Justin, great comeback

[@IAmFooly]

You have to respect ChrisG for finding and mastering a team with amazing synergy, but I personally can't stand Anti-Hype teams in Marvel. I'd much rather watch Swagneto and Doom stylin' on bitches or Spencer punching those women than ChrisG zoning and controlling matches. That being said, I still enjoy watching ChrisG's mechanics.

[@matthewmorrison7882]

My fav part about chris g playstyle. When it back fires on himself and gets a time over!

[@lozz3rs]

JESUS

[@DarwinDing]

yes. the only thing they share is that in most cases it involves players using the same move multiple times, but to call that spamming is useless because it doesn't mean anything. it doesn't mean you're trash if you use a move multiple times, because this is a game with characters who have a bunch of really good moves and some very situational and bad moves, and using your character's strengths is a sign of a competent fighter player.

[@PlumOrchid]

It's not spam. Spamming is just using the same move over and over again brainlessly. Chris G has mastered a strategy that he forged himself. You try and play Morrigan and tell me where it gets you.

[@anasui483]

Yh, a spammer that's what I said...

[@DarwinDing]

you can't even define the word we're talking about here. by what you just said, chrisg isn't a spammer because he used a lot of moves - he didnt just soul fist until he won, he soul fisted, he dr doom assisted, he comboed, he x-factored, he blockstringed, he thc'd and used a lot of other specials, etc

[@TNMUSlC]

Chris G spam so what. He found a character he like and he able to use her effectively. He constantly top 3. If is so easy why don't other people do it? Right, because it takes skill and understand of the game then spamming. For you trolls out there, he making money while you at home watching and hating on his game. The question is if the spam is so easy why you are not there facing J.wong instead of Chris G?

[@samouflage99]

Haha, the voice cracking at the end is awesome!

ok i'm going to give you two hypothetical situations: one of them is a random ryu who goes to a tournament, sits in the corner and just keeps using hadouken. he beats some players maybe, but along comes a good player who punishes the lag on hadouken by jumping and using aerials, or focus canceling the projectiles, etc. in the other scenario, you have daigo who spaces out all his hadoukens perfectly, uses it only when it cant be punish and to punish his opponents, and uses it to bait responses
