…And I sincerely hope the stream archive has the videos of me playing. I took the tournament in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. This is my first noteworthy tournament win, and it paid for the weekend in Vienna. I beat pretty much every noteworthy player there, going 3-2, 3-0, 3-1, 6-0 in losers top 8. I just felt like sharing.
If you didn’t beat Justin Wong or Daigo Umehara, it doesn’t mean much.
j/k, great job.
Also, seriously there’s a tournament for the VS series? The latency is terrible even on the arcade versions, you won’t get the same quality of play as the SF series. I tried some of the early versions but gave up because I was moving too fast for moves to register.
Congratulations! I’m pretty sure this makes you the reigning champ of the Straight Dope, FWIW. This means you win an all-expense paid trip to your living room to practice up, in order to represent us properly at the next tournament.
Do not take this responsibility lightly. The eyes of the world are upon you.
UMvC3 is right behind Street Fighter in terms of player base for competitive fighters. I don’t know what you mean about latency - I find it perfectly responsive. And yeah, it’s fast-moving. Check it out:
I’m the guy on the left in that first screen - on commentary. And here’s a timestamp from the start of my triumphant trip through the loser’s bracket:
I was running Team NovaScrub (Nova/Doom/Vergil - the “scrub” part is the Doom/Vergil shell, upon which you can place pretty much any point character and do well).
