Now you don't have to suck meat from an exoskeleton!
The smart thing to do was to pick up the habit of cheering for Chris G when he was coming in second in majors and looked devastated, so now that he wins you can feel good about yourself.

Like me. :smugdog:

Saying Chris G's Morrigan is the same poo poo every match is akin to saying a Sagat is just doing "the same poo poo every match" with his zoning. It's just not accurate, especially with how masterful Chris G has gotten at varying his gameplay and staying a step ahead of his opponents.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very informed about Marvel and all the matchups. But when I watch a Sagat player, I can see how they mix up the zoning game based on who they're playing against.

ChrisG spams soul fist and uses hidden missiles against literally every matchup; I can't see any variation in his game plan to show that he's trying to respect whatever capabilities the opponent has. I have never seen him do something different. He spams soul fist with hidden missiles for cover, uses the mirror super whenever he gets meter, and repeats until he opens up whoever's blocking a fireball or a missile at the time. Then he uses a combo to kill them. GOTO 10.

On the rare occasion that Morrigan gets KOed or Doom gets happy birthdayed to death and Chris G pulls out an exciting Vergil combo to win the game? That poo poo's exciting and I like to see it. But it rarely happens and ChrisG clearly isn't thinking "Yeah so i'm probably gonna use Vergil to win this match" when it happens.

If it was that simple, he'd get figured out and beat. Keep watching, you'll pick up on the subtleties.

And Sagat players spam tiger shots in Super Turbo. They are still loving godlike and so is Chris G. When the videos of these matches go up, look at the matches where Chris G was chillaxing against Moons, then go look at the ultra aggressive rushdown he does against Phoenix with soulfists. If you can't see it...man, I don't know what to tell you. I'm a scrub, but this stuff is just so evident that I have to admire it.

Because no one has managed to actually show that he has to stop. And his Morrigan has evolved, his conversions and combos are light years ahead of what he had months ago let alone any other Morrigan player. When he first started this team his Morrigan was pretty basic just Soul Fist but not anymore, he can and will mix up Soul Fists with rushing into your face.

Now, Chris G will win and I'm totally okay with this. gently caress Vergil for one, but Vergil and Zero? gently caress outta here, bop this guy Chris. :argh:

I don't get all the Chris G does the same thing. Go watch a match from last year when he did nothing but soul fists in the same pattern and and chip.

Now he actually varying the pattern and using it to approach and land long high execution combos.

I don't know what more you want out of Marvel unless you'd rather watch Zero or Virgil 50/50 you into loops over and over.

Edit: also the conversions he can get with her now are pretty sick in their own right.

I'll check out the Moons match again when it comes online for a comparison. I'm sure there are technical subtleties to how this stuff is working, but it's definitely not something I know how to look for right now.

For more reference, he lost in his first match to rushdown Wolverine. Apparently the only way to win against Chris G's morridoom is to learn an absolutely sick inescapable opening mixup...or pray.

@801IPeru that's completely bs. There's no way I can beat a good wolverine player 1st round without any games in. Screw this tournament.

His loss doesn't count though because everyone knows that a good wolverine player has never lost in the first round of a tournament or something.

That's not what he was saying. What he said, translated, is 'Beating the character with the best opening seconds in the game, while not having any games to warm up, first match in the tourney is bullshit hard. It makes me salty, man.', more or less. It's not about Wolverines losing, it's about not having a chance to get in his groove before facing his worst matchup.

It's not that he's not spamming Soul Fists, because he is, it's how she moves after a Soul Fist that separates her from every other projectile character. Dorm can throw hella plasma, but his fat feet are stuck to the ground afterward. Chris follows his fireballs or drops down or dashes back depending on the situation, which is what makes his play.

Nothing wrong w/ generalizing. Pretty much every game ever made involves doing the same poo poo every match.
