Marvel Madness, a tournament in Calgary, Alberta, Canada took place this weekend. Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter 4 were some of the games being played there.
So I'm watching the stream, but is anyone else getting audio problems¿ Like the commentators being too loud, and peaking often.
@KizaruOfLight
Please tell me you were joking, that WAS Gootecks. I'm not sure if you were joking :P
oh god EH is gonna flare up marn just announced he is gay.....
As a Canadian, I can safely admit we are free. Damn we look bad.
@8 yes he is always cocky I met him at CES he is never nice to anyone..... I actually expected justin to be a jerk but justin wong was one of the coolest and nicest guys i met
Wow no wonder people don't like him, he seems like a douche.
james chen finally looked awesome...good that he's not so free in mvc3
Stream would be awesome if Stang would move the damn mic away form his mouth. Causing horrible audio issues.
Much like the cross up air-tatsu; James Chen is unblockable in Canada.
The stream is now Super SF IV. So slow compared to MvC 3, but still fun to watch. J Wong on Adon >.<
JUSTIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG! Damn, damn!! damn!!! Damage Scaling Reset...this guy has raped the game to death.
I can't wait to see what the community has yet to discover.
That stream was mad fun and entertaining. Thanks to Vesper Arcade for the stream.
This was the best event to watch ever, epecially because of Air. that was way too funny. And sleepy gootecks is even more hilarious.
They still can't get those microphone levels right. Now they're too quiet.
Marn isn't gay he has a girlfriend. He always mentioned her in the previous streams.
That DHC into DHC into Counter DHC into Counter x2 DHC was just so crazy.
Actually I love Marn... I used to hate him, but he grows on you. He seems like a really nice dude, and he's hilarious. He has the most personality out of almost all of the pros. He's a badass with Dudley too, and he doesn't use gay characters on SSF4. So he's amazing just for that.
Damn, Marn Vs. Justin Wong. So awesome. I don't think I've seen Justin lose yet in MvC 3. Marn's the first person I've seen to make him lose all characters...Canada Cup MvC 3 casuals....so hype.
@44 J wong lost to combofiend at final round. They have footage up on this site somewhere. Look it up, amazing match
marn has this tournament at the end and he dropped it. /sad.

Clearly you guys are not located in the Ontario/Quebec area to be saying that so easily. Also to anyone who is saying that Canada is free based on this event, remember that these players are only from ONE province of Canada (minus some exceptions like Air) and judging us as whole from this event is like judging the US based on a few states that may not be as good as other parts of the US.
@#51:
That's how the rating system works. People / party is ranked or judged based on the performance in a competitive setting. For example, a tournament, a league game. a season game, etc...any competitive meeting where it counts. It's unfortunate that Canada didn't have much good competitors to represent in their own tourney but that's how it looks right now. Canada is not that good in MvC3. You can't say "well it's only a small portion of Canada, etc, etc." Well tell your best players to drive a major tourney and show Canada's not free in Marvel. The SF community is not going judge a country's performance based on xbox live replys.

Canada didn't have many good competitors to represent their own tourney? So If Canadians went to Rhode Island or even a state with smaller competition and won, we can use it against the entire US by saying it's your fault you couldn't represent your own tourney? Just because the Canada Cup has more exposure from American players doesn't mean we consider that a "major tournament", our monthly/bi-weekly Ontario/Quebec tournaments get more players than this "Canadian major" you speak of.
Before speaking realize that Justin Wong and Marn can body the rest of the US in MvC3 as well (Combofiend a possible exception), so does that also make the rest of the US free too?
Someone needs to program time stamps into these streams so you can skip all of the extra stuff and just see the matches... I don't really have the time nor the interest to watch 30 minutes of commentary and downtime mixed into an hour and 17 minutes of matches.
Songman,
Just wondering, have you gotten around to reading my entire post to understand where I'm getting? While you can consider this a major tournament, is it major enough to the extent that it is worth all of Ontario/Quebec's finest players to spend almost a grand each to travel across the country to attend? If it's so major like you make it sound, why did only 3 American players show up (one which is sponsored, one who has his own SF show, and the other who only went to beat JWong, btw). We DO have major tournaments in East Coast Canada, just because you are ignorant to this fact don't have your fellow people claiming Canada is so free.
Especially since the fact is most of the players calling Canada free probably aren't even at a level to be judging. Remember, just because America has some very strong players does not mean you are one of them.
@39 When Wong was still in Empire, I don't remember the battle field Arcadia number where Tri force made Wong use Rose this was in vanilla days.
1st live matches are lol
I thought they were playing around with the button check and it ended up to be a real match o_o
