Amazing how people only look at the Mag loop and say Fanatiq sucks. Look at his movement, setups, strategies, defense and use of XF. There is more to the game than just combos. His storm is just as good as his Mag.
does anyone know which match the commentators were referring to when they brought up justin's many teams, specifically the iron fist team (around 13:00) where chris g beat justin "convincingly" at that particular tourney??
Ive seen plenty of videos of fanatiq. Sometimes his mag will get trashed in the beginning of every round. However his storm would put in double work for the wins
The problem with Jill and Shuma are that most people are biased against the DLC characters. They should theoretically be good because a lot of people will have never faced them, but when they win from that it feels really cheap (Shuma I feel only succeeds because of this right now). But I agree, Jill does feel like a hidden top tier character.
Frank West isn't Chuck Green. He isn't looking for his daughter, he's just a reporter looking for a story. Chuck was the character, in Dead Rising 2, who was trying to save his daughter, BTW he isn't looking for his daughter but actually a cure because she's in the security office throughout the game. You have to give her Zombrex or she'll turn into the zombie, just like Frank.
Im wondering why Fanatiq is not using Spencer, Storms spot, in this session. When he fought Ross on first to 5 exhibition, Fan's Spencer looked ill, spot on, and new combo's.
Storm did most of the work in the majority of the matches he had; and not limited to the money match he had with RayRay. I implore you to watch those (and other) matches if you haven't already.
I just did. I knew Fanatiq loves his MSS team since MvC2, I was just wondering why he didn't put Spencer on because on his twitch streams, he's been busting him out. Maybe saving it for Evo 2012
i remember back in the day when arcades were still strong during mvc2 I thought alex valle and daigo were on top then here comes J wong out of no where making a name for himself.
On the contrary. If he got that far by using the tactics he used in this video, then bad players do indeed make it to the finals. This video is a good example of how some players play because it is fun (Justin Wong), and some play it to win (Fanatiq). I will not say one way is wrong, but you can the difference in play styles. Funny thing is if any of you had a match against him online, you would complain about his repetition and call him a n00b. Because he won a contest, he is a hero.
Watch the cross counter episode with Fanatiq and Mike Ross where they're talking about Joker and RayRay. I think it was the early May episode. Hilarious episode btw.
No matter how you put it, it all comes down to what people prefer. If someone wants to use an SNES controller to play marvel, that's their choice. If that's what they prefer who are you to tell them it's wrong? It's like the people who play on an arcade stick with their right hand moving the stick and their left hand pushing the buttons. It seems odd, but that's what they prefer.
Just once, I'd like to see the finals to a tournament that doesn't have vergil, magneto, or doom. I know they're great characters and top tier and all that good stuff, but it'd be nice to see some diversity.
Wolverine has no answer to projectiles, and he's S tier (with the right assist). That's why Justin uses Wolv/Akuma. Akuma eats projectiles so Wolverine can move in safer. X-23 is just as good as Wolverine, although harder to use, with a good assist.
It's more that Fanatiq's game really falls apart if both Magneto AND Storm go down. Now provided, if he still has X-factor with Sentinel, things might still be okay for Mr. I have a MvC2 team that works in UMvC3 because Sentinel with X-factor level 3 like most of the cast(but especially characters like him, Hulk, Nemesis, Wesker, and Vergil), if you get touched by him, you are dead.
I just wonder why doesn't Justin Wong level up his Frank, as a Frank West player, I don't even use the Shopping Cart assist, and I always try to get Frank West up to Lvl 5, if not, to Lvl 3-4.
It is very very very fun. It is very frustrating as well. If you're going to get it, you should do it soon. The game is slowly dying. Also, I don't know if being good in MVC2 transitions well in MVC3, they did change a lot.
More characters? There were like... 9-11 viable characters in MvC2, Mag, Storm, Psy, Sent, CapCom, Cyclops, Cable, and if you were Clockw0rk, Strider and Doom. In Marvel 3, you can play anyone and be dominant. In Marvel 2 it was pick top tier or get destroyed.
same reason people pick arthur as anchor, they're hoping for magic by buffing an obviously low tier character. Plus, that level four single combo seemed pretty legit...but just too many factors to make it work.
I disagree. I use the 360 pad for marvel, and I do just fine. :P I use a stick for other games, though. Marvel's execution timing isn't very strict so it's not bad on a pad.
Marvel 2 always had a decade to get characters down. Marvel 3 hasn't, and Marvel 3 had a few balance patches which wasn't even around in Marvel 2. Even though, Marvel 3 might be like that one day. We already know Vergil and Zero are top tier and Doom went down a tier. So soon they'll only be a few good teams like in M2
I'd definitely like to see Fanatiq play Justin or RayRay today.
Amazing how people only look at the Mag loop and say Fanatiq sucks. Look at his movement, setups, strategies, defense and use of XF. There is more to the game than just combos. His storm is just as good as his Mag.

Yo, how is Spencer's machine arm switching from left to right when hes on different sides of the screen (0_o)
12 years later I watch this ❤
how do you go about trying to compete in these tournaments?
Who is doing commentary with Skisonic?
That Frank West comeback was sickkkK!!!! Justin just having a good time laughing and Fanatiq all serious
Is Fanatiq playing on an afterglow controller???
Ive seen plenty of videos of fanatiq. Sometimes his mag will get trashed in the beginning of every round. However his storm would put in double work for the wins
I hate that he kept saying he wants his daughter back and that's not frank who had a daughter. And Chucks daughter wasn't kidnapped she was infected.
Over your head. They were referencing a Mel Gibson movie because Frank looks like him in this game.
"made rayray look free..." understatement of the year... Fanatiq for life!
Twas a really nice finals, rooted for the both of them, nice little serie.
what does people mean with "fake"? Not talking directly about fanatiq, I'm refering to anyone that might or is indeed fake. Just curious.
What infinite, was there a TAC infinite that I missed?
If I have this combo, that gives me the most damage I can do with my level of execution, why would I not use it? Why would I restrict my usage of it?
when is it?

what does these levels beside the name mean
any reason why justin has frank as anchor?
DAT WONG FACTOR! This is why Justin is one of my most favorite player! :D
Frank West isn't Chuck Green. He isn't looking for his daughter, he's just a reporter looking for a story. Chuck was the character, in Dead Rising 2, who was trying to save his daughter, BTW he isn't looking for his daughter but actually a cure because she's in the security office throughout the game. You have to give her Zombrex or she'll turn into the zombie, just like Frank.
Wow... look at the team.
This is truly...
Marvel (Magneto, Storm and Sentinel) Vs. Capcom (Vergil, Spencer and Frank)
where did you hear that
Im wondering why Fanatiq is not using Spencer, Storms spot, in this session. When he fought Ross on first to 5 exhibition, Fan's Spencer looked ill, spot on, and new combo's.
Well what do you mean it's slowly dying??? I thought the game JUST game out not long ago bro?
>Justin playing Frank West
>Commentator: "Give me my daughter back"
>mfw.jpg
this justin is on every stream? doesn't he have a home? doesn't he sleep or eat?
Storm did most of the work in the majority of the matches he had; and not limited to the money match he had with RayRay.
I implore you to watch those (and other) matches if you haven't already.
Damn, a Westcoast Final on the East Coast?
does that green controller ever bother any of his opponent?
I just did. I knew Fanatiq loves his MSS team since MvC2, I was just wondering why he didn't put Spencer on because on his twitch streams, he's been busting him out. Maybe saving it for Evo 2012
Wait what's AGE???
I believe it is in the summer?... I'm pretty sure it is
i remember back in the day when arcades were still strong during mvc2 I thought alex valle and daigo were on top then here comes J wong out of no where making a name for himself.
stfu nerd bullshit
sure thing dumbass
cuz its cheap and how is doing one combo any fun?
Justin probably would've won using his Wolvie team but he's trying to use this one for Evo, I think as a counter to Morrigan.
why didnt justin wong use his a team? he doesnt want 3k?
You finally made it!!! Gratz
tell me when they actually win a UMVC3 tournament and i dont mean japanese players, i mean anyone that uses low tiers in general
Which one is ski sonic

I may be in the minority but.... Yipes being off the commentary makes this match much easily to sit back and relax to.
that entire thing wasn't a combo =P if you notice after the launcher the counter resets so somewhere jwong didnt block or pressed something
Watch the cross counter episode with Fanatiq and Mike Ross where they're talking about Joker and RayRay. I think it was the early May episode. Hilarious episode btw.

i like how they were saying frank west was looking for his little girl have they ever played dead rising?
During the second round:
That was the longest Magneto combo without Hyper I've ever seen
0.0
10:28
"It's just Level 1 Frank"
Famous last words...
What's with the green underlighting? Makes Fanatiq look like he's harnessing some Green Lantern voodoo.
that was some sick tech by J Wong with frank west at 11:30
ty
My main problem with the PS3 controller is that it's too light. It's also slightly smaller than I would prefer, but I might just have big hands.
Yes, that has been his primary since Marvel vs Capcom 3. #FanatiqFan
10 years ago vs 10 years later
Just once, I'd like to see the finals to a tournament that doesn't have vergil, magneto, or doom. I know they're great characters and top tier and all that good stuff, but it'd be nice to see some diversity.
why are they calling storm beonso?
This year ECT gonna be crazy
Wolverine has no answer to projectiles, and he's S tier (with the right assist). That's why Justin uses Wolv/Akuma. Akuma eats projectiles so Wolverine can move in safer. X-23 is just as good as Wolverine, although harder to use, with a good assist.
haha did you read your messages before posting? it doesnt make any sence
are vergil and sentinel really suck?
Amazing moves at 20:20
Well no shit, why would you switch characters if you're good and comfortable with another team?
Amazing grand finals
you forgot to put on your sunglasses and say fuck yea lol
It's more that Fanatiq's game really falls apart if both Magneto AND Storm go down. Now provided, if he still has X-factor with Sentinel, things might still be okay for Mr. I have a MvC2 team that works in UMvC3 because Sentinel with X-factor level 3 like most of the cast(but especially characters like him, Hulk, Nemesis, Wesker, and Vergil), if you get touched by him, you are dead.
y do ppl keep calling storm "Beonzo"?
I just wonder why doesn't Justin Wong level up his Frank, as a Frank West player, I don't even use the Shopping Cart assist, and I always try to get Frank West up to Lvl 5, if not, to Lvl 3-4.
12:35 "justin can still make this come back"
ski,i question if you even play this game
Haha I love fanatiqs game pad! The shit was mad hype when he was selecting characters and all you saw was a green aura surrounding his face
"So we've got level 1 Frank... Yea..."
>>makes comeback
"Frank Best."
>>down to Frank again in new match
"It's just level 1 Frank."
GDI
Ski is just fine, he's great for marvel and ok for other games. I don't understand what people are complaining about.
You forgot your sunglasses and your Roger Daltrey scream
thats not just in chat. thats everywhere skisonic goes
It is very very very fun. It is very frustrating as well. If you're going to get it, you should do it soon. The game is slowly dying.
Also, I don't know if being good in MVC2 transitions well in MVC3, they did change a lot.
Ya know now that people bring up skisonic, has that rumor about him and gootecks ever come to light?
Try to hit something with fanatiq's magneto. His lv 5 frank west nearly get killed.
Yeah, if that's what important to you. I don't look up to these player from just win and lost though.
Justin was rarely beat in MvC2. Only I remember was Sanford and Yipes.
dont forget those crazy hit confirms i don't think ray ray can convert from super jump height like fanatiq did or at least consistently
More characters? There were like... 9-11 viable characters in MvC2, Mag, Storm, Psy, Sent, CapCom, Cyclops, Cable, and if you were Clockw0rk, Strider and Doom. In Marvel 3, you can play anyone and be dominant. In Marvel 2 it was pick top tier or get destroyed.
That Vergil graduated straight out of college at CEO.
Thing I recall most about this match was everyone in chat saying "Ski stfu." Lol. Great set between these two.
same reason people pick arthur as anchor, they're hoping for magic by buffing an obviously low tier character. Plus, that level four single combo seemed pretty legit...but just too many factors to make it work.
Justin wong didn't even use frank west, he used Frank Whack and still made a come back.
I disagree. I use the 360 pad for marvel, and I do just fine. :P
I use a stick for other games, though. Marvel's execution timing isn't very strict so it's not bad on a pad.
True, however, you'd be supprized how much you can learn from a pro. Most are willing to give you pointers.
"Going shoppin on yo bitch ass."
Lol
wheres the guy saying 2:24
the whole time I was like "Fanatiq don't let justin do it to you... Fanatiq, LOOK AT ME! DONT LET HIM DO IT AGAIN DAMNIT NOOO!"
God dam that was an amazing match. Good shit Fanatiq
YOOO that vergil fake out at from 14:40 to 14:45, good blocks by fanatiq
Fanatiq be doin drivebys with Hyper Sentinel Force from LA to Brooklyn.
that green glow off of fanatiq's face is pretty bad ass
fanatiq you will always be my hero
I thought fanatiq was 86'd?
Respect for Fanatiq. It was some monsters in this tourney, he ain't nothing to fuck with
Frank West is going to be the new Spencer, calling it now .
I feel like X-23, Jill, and Shuma are all hidden S-tier. Especially X-23 and Jill.
Marvel 2 always had a decade to get characters down. Marvel 3 hasn't, and Marvel 3 had a few balance patches which wasn't even around in Marvel 2. Even though, Marvel 3 might be like that one day. We already know Vergil and Zero are top tier and Doom went down a tier. So soon they'll only be a few good teams like in M2
