combo's from socal, like everyone else lol.

Norcal- Ricky, Champ, John Choi, Zangief, few others
Socal is like, Jwong, Marn, Mike Ross, Gootecks, ClakeyD, Floe, Combofiend, Valle, I'll feel bad leaving out everyone else but theres like 10-15 other notable socal players.

Since when was Justin from SoCal? I thought he still represents New York? I mean isn't he still apart of Empire Arcadia or is he exclusively Evil Genius (EG) now?

Yeah that bionic arm was inspiring lol, looks like he was doing some hard stuff to pull off tho

the instant OTG into combo is pretty difficult to do not only are the inputs moderately difficult to do so fast but the spacing and timing has be to super precise, which is why he dropped that combo about 10 times vs Jwong.

EDIT: and Justin is part of socal ever since he moved there, and therefore supports zlashers theories. regardless of his EC training and talent.

Well he lives in SoCal now. I don't think he really "represents" one side or the other, the east vs west hype has all but crumbled by now. Look at his team for Final Round, it was him (East), Ricky (West), and Tokido (Not American OMG). Lots of other teams were the same way; nobody really cares about that stuff anymore. It is true that most US talent resides in Cali though.

Awesome grand finals. Combofiends showing the spencer potential, I seriously think he's the only one who used him in there. And marns zero, what the hell? Like everytime he used him I had no idea what was going on, he was all over the place.

everybody in x-factor has ridiculous comeback potential

spencer just has BIONIC.... ARMMMMMMM to get out of jail almost for free

I think Spencer has a much better ability to tag assists with the bionic arm for a cheap assist kill. I'm not sure on the timings, but I would guess it's easier to catch the assist with bionic arm than sentinel's hypers?

He moved to socal like, a while ago, at least a year and a half or two years ago now I think. And the moment he signed to EG (like May-June last year) he was exclusive to EG.

Wtf, his team was him (socal, and EG) ricky (norcal, and EG) and tokido (they need a 3rd since they're a team of two now, and they're friends with tokido).

For the most part they just team with people who are friends or are on their level, you don't have to team up by location, but that said, justin's definitely socal now since thats who he will always paly for during east vs west, norcal vs socal, cali vs new york, whatever.

Desk is so sick, I would love to have his execution. I guess practice does make perfect or I just find whatever he is taking and double the dosage

Captain America's timing is too specific for me, I tried learning him and it was just too difficult.

Also does anyone know how to time taskmasters bread and butter correctly? I'm always having problems getting that shield slam after the 2nd webswing

Give me a break, Marn, Justin and Ricky were some of the best talents in NYC. So coincidentally WC is now better than EC just because they happened to sign over to a company based in Cali? If you take them out of the equation, EC can easily compete with WC. Combofiend showed some great stuff with Spencer but a HUGE part of it was the fact that no one knew what Spencer was capable of. Ryry is from EC and won a tourney with Justin entering in it as well, are we just going to conveniently dismiss that because it wasn't this month?

They're west coast not because they're on EG what the fuck, all three of them have been living in california longer than they've been on EG how can you guys not fit this into your head.

I'm not saying EC can't compete but EC isn't as good as WC in marvel 3 right now.

You just saw like 10 WC players travel to EC and blow it the fuck up, you won't see 10 EC players travel to SCR or NCR ever because there aren't 10 players that you can think will have a shot at top 4'ing in a WC major, especially since japanese players show up to WC majors.
