YUP. And you have to root against Phoenix, she's bullshit, and Morrigan, and Spencer, and Doom hidden missile abusers. And then your rooting against the whole top 16!


Would you really root against Combofiend's Spencer, once he activates Comebackfiend?

This game is a long way away from being figured out so the top tier list will change. I mean, damn, so few Dormammu users actually utilize his spells correctly. Even Liberation isn't used that often.

Well, the balance and inherent randomness of the game is why most tournaments have decided to adopt the 3/5 format over the 2/3 that it's typically been. However, initial pools at EVO are still 2/3 likely due to time constraints.

That said, the better players are still the better players in this game. In the end you'll see a lot of the usual suspects in the quarter/semifinal brackets.

Is UMvC considered balanced? Can't help but feel it is impossible to balance a game with so many combos. Doesn't feel like there is as much hero diversity than SSF4.

Edit: I don't think i've seen anything as unfun to watch in an esport than these Zero players who just get off 70 hits in a row like that.

Hm? UMvC is a kusoge game, going hand in hand with HnK and TvsC.


A shit game game? Sorry couldn't resist, the ge in kusoge already stands for game.
I agree though, I dont really enjoy seeing these kinds of games as a real competitive game.

You are right, normally I write kusoge player, guess I was paying too much attention to the stream.
They definitely aren't competitive games. Those kusoge players play them for fun, to find the most broken stuff. The characters usually make the games more fun(gotta love HnK and Tatsunoko). Tokido and others play them because it's popular in the US and they can make money off of it. Casual players are in because they feel like they can actually play the game. Some viewers enjoy it simply because it's flashy and broken sh*t is interesting. That's how a game like this becomes popular even though it sucks.

Agreed. I think Dorm is top 5, but so underused, and they're loads to discover.

I was kinda joking I root for Justin despite being a Vergil and Spencer player. The whole point is that you have to accept that people will play top tier characters, in the same way Terran's 111ed, Zerg play turtle brood lord infestor smush, and Toss do sentry immortal pushes. Its what happens in a competitive game. And fuck yeah Combofiend, I want to see how far his She Hulk can go.

Not trying to start a fight, but why don't you consider Marvel a real competitive game and yet value Moral Kombat? Nothing against Mortal Kombat, but what makes it more legit than UMvC3 to you?
