The season finale of Wednesday Night Fights, hosted by the Level|Up crew, has finished up, but there is an archive of the stream available. There were quite a few good Marvel vs. Capcom 3 players on hand, including EG.Justin Wong and Clockw0rk, along with great commentary from James Chen and UltraDavid.You can find the earlier parts of this event by visiting Level|Up's Justin.tv page.
Wow Justin is so good.
It's more like just a battle to be second place.
I'm glad to see less people are using Sent and Dark Phoenix.
#2 this isn't the first episode. This is the season finale. I've learned from all of these. Like how I didn't know magneto can have infinite dashes when flying. Trying to learn that now. Mad because you couldn't spam first?
Idk this is a cool game I just like SF4 more.....
...what game would you guys say takes more practice and is more execution heavy?
Aris's magneto combo is sick. So hard for me to do right now.
@9 After playing MvC3 exclusively for a month, I can't play SSF4 anymore. My general execution has gone to the shi**ers. It's actually really frustrating to do these 1-2 frame links when comboing in MvC3 is so easy.
So, I'm a scrub and I love easy combos :D
@ 9
Marvel is more execution heavy hands down. A lot of people think that combos are the only thing that deals with "execution," it's not. The combos may be easier to do in Marvel whill SSFIV deals more with 1-2 frame links, there's a lot more you have to do while playing Marvel compared to SFIV. You have to be constantly ready for everything (ambiguous cross-ups, assists, high-low pressure, etc).
In SSFIV, it's very easy to play, there is barely any high low pressure and most of the damage is merely through setups. Where as in Marvel, there are plenty of instant overheads that leads to devastating combos.
That's why Justin Wong is so much better than everyone else. His reactions to being able to determine which direction you have to block and whether it's a high/low is ridiculous.
@ 15
I take the word "execution" as playing the game as a whole, not just doing combos but also seeing what's going on during the match and reacting to what your opponent does.
The combos in SSF4 aren't even that much harder to do. One frame links are pretty easy, just not online. Whenever I played Cammy online, I would never go for a Sako combo. But during tournaments, I would use it pretty frequently.
@15
execution isn't just combos. getting the right distances on moves is also execution.
combos are also different when comparing SFIV to MvC3. if you're going for long combos where hitstun start taking effect then comboing in MvC3 can also be difficult. doing a magic series>launcher>MMH>super is equivalent to doing a cr. mk>hadoken>super in SFIV.
I learn a whole lot from these matches. Thx!
