I like how everyone is complaining about oh superman superman and bladam blah blah blah, but six different characters made top 8 alone. I'm sure there were plenty more people who played other characters that did just fine. Keep calm you whiny ass overreacting drama queens.
dude get a grip ...... Chef did that with basically baby style.

We gotta be realistic here, not everyone is going to use characters they don't think they will win with. You want to see variety? play casuals, but people are trying to win here. I do think their is a lot more diversity than people believe, we just have to wait til Evo where the world is facing off. Hell I think even ECT will have more diversity than these Cali weeklys.

So far NY has the most diverse character selection, but unknown people get no burn at all. Chris G is the only one who gets burn and plays the most diverse array of characters. Fab plays a good Lex and gets absolutely no burn for it, it's really dumb.

6 of the 10 character listed are black adam or superman. If you actually watch the stream there were even more BAs and Supermans who didnt make top 8.

If you take a look at Cali and it's players, they have a tendency to pick top tier and stay there. I can't watch Marvel tournaments over there anymore, it's just too droll. Not every tournament has looked like that and not every tournament will. There are six different characters on the list of top eight even though there are six supes/bladams. You are overreacting, and just because these characters are hot now doesn't mean they will be a little ways down the road. (In all honesty I don't see people sticking with Black Adam as happy as it would make me)

Wel i hope you are ready to put your money where your mouth is we have a big tourney this weekend and i have a not so sneaking suspicion we are gonna see even more supermans black adams and green lanterns. I also think a big chunk of the cast will be an afterthought.

Im sorry where did i say only 3 characters? I said those 3 will be far and away the most prominently used. I also said many characters will go completely unrepresented.

You've actually made me consider picking up Cyborg. I always liked him on Teen Titans, and I feel my current characters are a bit too blue-eyed.

Do you play him on stick? Any advice for IANB? You can't use the Kabal shortcut from MK9, and 8746 comes out a bit high unless I'm just doing it too slow?
Yeah, hes my favorite Teen Titan. Its funny cause I knew the characters I was going to use before the characters were revealed. I literally named Catwoman, Cyborg, Batman Beyond, and *Cross my fingers, Static.

I can use both pad and stick, but after practicing on stick for hours, I got better on pad randomly... lol

I slide my thumb from the top right, then I go down, and right in a 360 motion. It takes practice.

i watched this long enough to see krayzie spam all day with cyborg. i turned it off immediately after. you know his infinite is broken and you still choose to use it. have you no honor? no dignity? is it really that important to win that youll use something that ridiculously broken?
Sorry to disappoint. Regardless, I have always believed in, "Play to win."

And I didn't even know he had an infinite until the end of the tournament. I'm just using my favorite characters and having fun with them...

I really like what Aris was doing in the end.

Last week he got punished by Black Adams divekicks on a regular basis, but this week he adapted perfectly and was baiting out the divekicks and punishing them with simple J3 and DF3's. Against multiple Black Adam players!

Really solid play and an earned victory.
This was actually the first time I was rooting for a Deathstroke player. He was the most exciting thing towards the end of the tourney besides Krayzies Catwoman.

Yeah, Aris was on point. Winning even on stages besides Aris Aircraft ;-)

And to the people who complain about the lack of characters in the tournaments...
Who would you rather play competitevly: Bane and Harley Quinn, who actualy demand / require thoughts, practice as well weird inputs like DBF+Button, or the F23 Breath, F23 Breath, F23 Breath character?

In case you didn't notice Krazie was not able to execute the infinite, get your facts straight before you call someone out.

Obviously playing to win is the answer always but right now that is coming at the expense of an entertaining stream.

nah man, theres a point when playing to win and playing like an asshole differentiate. everyone knows that shit is not intended to be in the game, its cheap, and its broken. im ok with watching DS or morrigan or any other characters do their fireball bs, because its how the game is intended and there are answers to it., but this shit is an infinite that had he not failed at execution is complete bullshit, the kinda stuff that will have cyborg banned if it doesnt get patched out soon, hopefully batgirl patch. to abuse stuff like this is just being a complete douche bag, just like any infinite. unless krayzie was intentionally not executing it fast enough in order to give the other player an opportunity to come back i have lost all respect for him.

oh im sorry, he failed to do it right so its no longer a douche bag move. guy tries to kill you but you get away, so since he failed hes not really that bad of a guy i guess?

He obviously wasn't trying for the infinite or he would have never done ground Nova Blasters. They don't combo they don't even come close to have proper frames for the infinite. He was zoning with Cyborg in the way in which you zone with Cyborg using air and ground Nova Blaster and Missles. If he had been going for the block infinite he would have just been doing air Novas and never even attempting anything else.

lol - lets all talk about Black Adam and Superman.. Cuz uh.. Those characters didnt win the tournament..

Ppl are lazy to learn new characters. There are a lot of matchups and you have to learn how to use your character specifically for each one.

Supermans and Black Adams are popular but no GL in top8? I guess he is terrible, pls uber buff GL right? And no KillerFrost or Batman in top 8? Pls uber buff them as well.

I havent seen a single person do the block infinite in a match. Not once.

Am I the only person who doesn't mind pure zoning / keep away at all?

When I see people bitching about Deathstroke, I picture them starting to bitch, when they're watching a MMA match and the fight goes to the ground.
Your typical, unedjucated UFC fan will start booing and demanding the referee to stand them up, because he wants to see the fighters banging it out.

Ground game is a different aspect of that particular sport (or in our case game with the zoning). It's just a different style of playing and it's exciting in my opinion.
I have yet to see a match, where a good Deathstroke player JUST stays full screen and does the same input over and over and over again in order to spam the opponent out. What I see are people who are picking their shots and that is exciting. It's exciting to see if they will be able to do that and if their opponents will be able to find a way around it.

Why don't you call him out even harder when you have barely a clue of what you are talking about. Actually Cyborg does not even have a infinite unless you can show a me a video of it being completed and just because Tom Brady says so does not count.

The only one being a douche is you.
