So why do this at all? Well it’s fun. Second off, I’m sitting in an airport on my way to Chicago for UFGT8 and there’s an evil redheaded woman staring at me like I’m a lamb chop. If I pretend this is really important hopefully she’ll leave me alone.

What the hell is it about Viscant and attracting redheads?

Iron Man player in second place? Good poo poo.

I am now playing a team of Deadpool/Iron Man/Ammy because her Cold Star assist gives Deadpool a crazy good reset and Iron Man gains a really good incoming character "guard break" setups where you have a whole bunch of options, in addition for just being good to let Iron Man mount pressure. I just got to learn to play her though. She's a really strange character. If things don't work out I can always go back to Doom I guess.

After watching UFGT I was thinking about if Zero/Morrigan/Doom could work, and here Viscant says it may be the best Morrigan team. If only I had the drive to learn a whole new team...

Five time FCW Champion...of my heart.

I like Viscant's ideas for this tier list style. I really think the favorite to win EVO right now is ChrisG because as far as I know, outside of people who play him regularly, no one really knows how to deal with a really good Morrigan, especially with Doom Missiles. But there is always the chance that Zero will press a button and kill anyone. Anyone know of another good touhou Morrigan outside of Dieminion?

I haven't seen Justin or Combofiend play ChrisG without a fraudulent team for 3/4 of the match, so I'm not sure I'd stand behind that. It seems like a lot of the top players are waiting to bust their poo poo out at EVO

Justin vs Dieminion and ChrisG at UFGT8 was pretty legit, and Justin was more salty about that than anything I've seen in recent years.

That match amused me, only cause the guy commentating with Yipes was yelling at Marlin to start Ammy the whole time cause he bet on the match.

I have to admit I was a little annoyed too, because what the commentator was saying seemed to make sense. MarlinPie did his thing anyway though and I'm glad it worked.

It did take MarlinPie like 4-5 games to figure it out though. I believe the first set was 3-0 Chris before Marlin took second set 3-2. I'd still bet on Chris in a single set over anyone (that isn't Mihe or Wentinel, I guess)

UltraDavid backed this up by saying he's never Justin really angry about losing games until those matches. Justin is working on other teams at least as he showed with Spencer/Vergil/Frank on Cross Counter. Don't know about Combofiend other than him going back to his vanilla team.

It's an interesting dynamic because it seems like the characters to beat Morrigan are not good against the other top tier characters/teams.

Also props to Chris G. Doing getting the motion down is one thing, but being able to do it consistently on demand and to turn it on and off as needed is pretty tough.

Did you know it's possible to do it too fast and fly cancel the soul fist before the fireball comes out? Pain in the rear end.

Pretty sure Justin has said he doesn't have the execution to do it himself.

I wonder if putting Akuma on point was less about the meter and more about giving his arm a break.

For the one other Skrull player aside me, this is pretty cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4W8dcpxfVU

I wonder how many other characters can reset bounces like this? Aside from Ammy that is.

Deadpool can do it with Katanarama both on point and as an assist. I think there's a video of someone doing a loving crazy Haggar combo using Katanarama to reset the ground bounce.

People are still way overstating how difficult it is. There are plenty of Morrigan players out there who can do it on demand; Chris G just happens to win everything because he's straight-up better at Marvel.

That said, the one thing I still consider fairly difficult is recognizing if you already unflew during a super freeze. It's really easy to get tagged by random chaotic flames etc. if you slip up there.

Wait, she can use fly more than once in the air (in one span)? I took his saying you have to watch for unflying at dormammu's flash and reflying again right as it starts or somesuch.

I think he was saying you have to make sure you know if you've already done unfly, so that you just block, and don't try to do it again and get a j.S.
