Updated: The results along with the characters used for SSF4 AE and UMvC3 for this event have been added in after the jump. There's also a stream archive of the finals available.
Anybody know how to get unbanned from the chat? I think crackpr0n banned me last week from WNF cuz he was mad at everyone typing STEVE, so I said eff him, but yeah, I'm still banned.
HAHAHAHA@ Mike Ross I love him...still thinks he need more practice, I really want him to beat that damn Jago
He will! I guarantee it.
He lost in his first match last week at big two.
And the tutorials on Fingercramp are partial at best. Assist Me covers more for sure.
His matches on the show are not that great.
Jago can not beat ross now. Im gonna enjoy the pop off though
"^ I agree. East coast unprofessionalism is godlike. "
Which is unprofessional? The stream that went down during grand finals of the biggest fighter tournament in the world? Or Spookys stream which has done nothing but consistentently provide high quality streams (that don't go down at grand finals) at every event they cover?
Not only that spooky has the most knowledgeable and entertaining commentators in the biz.
@12
dude the "unprofessionalism" has been brought up by spooky and arturo...they just mean how they conduct themselves on stream..the swearing/slang, the lax attitude the eastcoast has compared to the west, which I honestly love. None of that prissy uptight bullsh*t.
#13 So not swearing means "prissy uptight bullsh*t"? Why the asterisk, then?
Anyway, people should be able to express themselves freely (as long as they are being directly offensive), but I respect those who try to cater their language for everyone. I curse sometimes, but I think it's unnecessary, especially when addressing a vast diversity of people.
Anyway, Mike congrats! UMvC3 was hilarious, how he defeated Marn only with Storm, FOR THE POWER of NOT WESKER!
But in SSF4, that was kinda impressive. I almost stopped liking him, there was no point in saying I believe because he was just cruising through the whole thing. Where online Tony? Mike, we like come backs! Stop with the rapping, leave that to Seths, Yun, and Vipers. ;)
Combo, did as expect on both games, but I think he is still looking for that perfect third character on his Spencer/Hawkeye team. I wonder if he's gonna go back to Taskmaster. I'd love to see him picking up Storm because he'd come up with crazy mix-ups, but it's not really his style of character, I think... He likes those who hit Hard, really HARD.
You guys are really underestimating Jago. Remember when he said he was gonna body Daigo? And then he actually went and bodied Daigo at seasons beatings. Daigo went on a huge losing streak after that and still hasn't won.
#22: Or people simply see him give out missinformation on his "tutorials" cause of lack of better knowledge and dropping combos every situation he can (yes even on stream tourneys).
What Mike has is the ability to play clutch (which will make Jago drop sh-t like he was on a bar of soap) and reflexes. He also has the brains in the back in the form of Combofiend probably telling him exactly how to play this matchup and a GDLK sparringpartner to boot. Mike's biggest problem always was that he always just threw stuff out without thought or meaning behind it hoping it would hit.
Combofiend could play with JAGO'S TEAM and still beat him most probbaly. But the main problem is Jago just dropping combo's (it's hilarious how he even drops combos like flies on his own tutorial videos) as you can't make misstakes in marvel it's extremly unforgiving. Ross however seems to perform just better under pressure. Also Mike has performed better at Evo then Jago ever will (not in Marvel albeit but still).
I guess we'll see but remember Jago took the evo champ Viscant to the brink in their set and Viscant was using a broken character. In SF4 though Jago beats both these dudes easy.
I wouldn't mind the lax attitude on the streams of Guard Crush if they were actually funny, or said something interesting.
Jaha is an idiot who sounds and acts like a member of Jersey Shore. Their "in-jokes" (swag!) are only funny a handful of times. Saying it multiple times over and over.. and over.. and over.. and over just makes it sound like tourrettes.
They need to balance their crew out a bit with a straight man to their over the top sh*t. If they had one guy who could stay serious while the other guy hypes it up it would help.
A number of the east coast players are also way to aggressive and pissy when they lose.
lol/depressed @ all of the black and white attitudes... "Mike Ross is going to own Jago, Jago is garbage" "no Mike Ross is terrible compared to Jago"... "EC streams are so bad with Jaha and foul language" "no WC streams are so uptight and boring."
Come on, guys... aren't we lucky to have all that we do in the community?
GS to Team Complexity Cross Counter... huge feat to win SF4 and Marvel 3 at a loaded tourney like that.
@ banana insane Huge Losing streak? Still hasnt won? You have very selective memory. He got 2nd at Socal Regionals right after. Then he got 1st at CanadaCup beating Magi in the finals. Then in A.E he got 1st in Revelations and Norcal Regionals. Finally he got "only 4th" at Evo. I still think thats pretty damn impressive still. What did Jago during that time? Has Jago ever gotten 1st in a Major? or 2nd? Perhaps 3rd? Btw he beat Daigo, he didnt body him. Why does everyone use the word body to mean beat. Poongko Bodied Daigo when he perfected him. Thats someone getting bodied. A close final round? Thats just a good victory. Jago is decent, but some of you guys ride his d!ck like you think he's reading the comments and is gonna be like "YO Banana is My boiii!"
Love the return of Combofiend's Abel. He was dope back in Vanilla.
@26: that's how the community is. everybody's hating and whinning... guess it's the jealousy...
Wow, Mike really has stepped it up. I honestly think he is going to trash Jago now. His Storm, although clutch, looks even better than J. Wong's.
Floe beat Combo! He is gonna 5-0 Viscant for sure now.
Marn... it's not looking good for you at Bar Fights vs Combo.
@9 mike ross is good. in fact? he's quite good. the best? na not at all.
@26 the reality of it is, your part of that said community.lol
Damn... That must of been a great WNF. Indica put me to sleep and I missed it. >.<
can't wait. WNF has a much better atmosphere
