Wow A phone so engaging, you'll actively ignore the people around you, even the subject of your adoration! This is a pretty high level of irony in advertisement!

Hyper Viper Bracelet get hype http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWJtyX5zXi8

Spencer wave dashing moves him slower than just plain dashing wtffffffffff Can Amaterasu do time slow -> confirm opponent whiff/doing something punishable -> DHC? That'd be awesome/hilarious.

In other foot injury news: Forsberg, the living incarnate of Achilles, has finally retired after yet another nagging foot issue.

Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?

http://twitter.com/JWonggg/status/36490128830496768# hahahaha But then again, I remember marn and co. trashing TvC when it came out, and then we would go on to see crazy stuff developed like Tekkaman+Ken runaway and PTX winning tournaments.

whoaaaa crazy mvc3 system details: - no negative edge (a capcom fighting game first?) - No more superjump cancelling normals (?) (I'm not 100% positive on this, but I couldn't get it to work) (awwww no suki cancel!) - With some limited exception, sweeps don't really "knock down," they mini-launch (auto-roll on recovery, so no OTG after sweep, only juggle) - Tags must be blocked high (omfg there's got to be a way to set up a 2 character on screen at the same time unblockable glitch) - Double snap is still technically possible, but it's much harder to do on reaction, due to lack of OTG options. Furthermore, when you relaunch assist, they just fall out after a very short time (I only got 2 launches with the setup I used) (buzzkill ) - Flight lasts approximately 2.1 seconds (that is not a typo); for comparison, in MVC2, Doom and IM's flights last 6+ sec, Magneto's is 8+, Storm and Sentinel's are 12+

WTF Tony Stark hitting on Tron in MvC3 fight intro

I got your wedding invitation, Stefan! I highly doubt that I'll be able to attend, though

From the Ryu section of the MvC3 strategy guide: "Ryu is one of the better characters at punishing crossover assists from a challenger: simply blast them with Shinku Hadoken! If your opponent’s point character is guarding the beam, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 does not consider the beam to be a combo on the assist character; this means the entire hyper combo will do un-scaled damage to the assist in addition the assist’s 50% damage penalty! A single Shinku Hadoken will damage a crossover assist for more than 50% vitality if the point character is guarding." mvc3: DON'T GET SHOT

Interesting note about mvc3: Level 3 supers are generally not subject to damage scaling during combos.

wow Dante ending has Dante spouting some game design stuff at Ghost Rider

http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/10/25/espn-magazine-nba-marvel-covers-gallery/ DARK STEVE NASH!!!! and other gems abound (pun intended). http://marvel.com/news/story/15148/marvel_teams_up_with_the_nba Sadly, Spider-Man is used as the face of the New York Knicks, and not mango Sentinel.

hahaha wow Dark Phoenix: "Got to play Mahvel last night. Most of what people are saying is true. Dark Phoenix + X-Factor = gonna make newbies rage. She can easily take out all 3 characters. She doesn't even really need combos once she gets a super. The super does like 30 percent chip also, is full screen and is a projectile so unless u have something that covers the whole screen really fast on block even on block its pretty safe. Her super is instant death if anything hits that is cancellable. If the super actually hits u like off a combo, ur dead. Even one landed homing missle to super = gone. She can launch like up to 4 of those homing missle on screen at once and 2 of them come out on each rep. Her little mini lasers she can pretty much surround herself with as well when she's in dark mode. She has a Cinder form KI style special where she turns into fire and flies at u and does like 25 percent chip and can combo into anything on hit and is safe on block. Her trap special takes that makes a phoenix wing takes up like nearly all of the vertical screen space in Dark mode. Like your only chance of geting around it is waiting for it to dissapear or super jumping over it. If i beat my friends 3 characters just by mashing on shit with Dark with Xfactor...i can only imagine. I mean yeah she can die in combo...but she can kill everyone in one combo too and probably has the game's best keepaway and rushdown. Its literally like fighting a mugen boss. You either kill her or die instantly trying. " " Oh and yeah when D.Phoenix its activated she creates a force around her that pushes you away like Gill's ressurrection. Which basically allows her to start spamming u with shit for free as soon as she comes out." Sounds hilarious.

I never knew! Also, a surprising number of people seem to hate the "I Need a Hero" song, in spite of it being an obvious perfect fit for MvC3. Maybe they just hate the techno it's been remixed with.

Yeah, it looks like the reports about UFG going down were premature/speculative/not-fact-checked (yay game "journalism"). Still, with one major project blown up, it's going to be tough for some people there to NOT lose their jobs.

lol stallman I hear UFG is going down. Sad times. Whatever will become of their disco ball and their wrestling masks?

TM Network is older than I am, so to you children it's like an ancient. Fist of the North Star is also older than I am, so I guess it's only fitting that it gets treated like a sacred text. As far as we're concerned, it's been around literally forever. What's actually terrifying is that in the field of computer graphics, a lot of the founders of it are still around and still active. You could actually go to a conference, and someone could quite reasonably say, "HUSH! YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A LEGEND!"

It's always crazy to think about how FLCL is like 10 or 11 years old now.

WCC: you will GET TOLD. So much drama.

Where are you working at, Ray?

West Coast Canada AC: Anal Compulsion

wait wtf the prize is that you get to attend another tournament? Sounds shady.

I was thinking about the woman with the bionic legs that let her run super fast and everything. Man, the Bionic Commando game was really pretty good! I wouldn't call it great, but it didn't suck the way so many said it did!
