The best is at 9:00 when you can see the gears turning in Ageojoe's head whether to pat Yipes on the back or not, and to this credit Yipes just laughs and doesn't get upset about it.
the action of the unexpected its what fighting games are about(and a key to winning!) ! when i watch this i feel like a kid looking at mvc2 back in the 90s!
Nice fight. By the way,that soy sauce that Kusoru drank after the match is made in Japan? It looks like "Marudaizu Sauce(JPN)''...I'm interesting in it because I'm Japanese. Please tell me the name of his soy sauce.
Great match from both players! I'd take these characters any day over Mags, Doom, Morrigan, etc. I don't know if Joe was being friendly or playing the heel with the pat on the back, pointing to the camera at the end, and pumping his fists to the crowd at the end of game 2, but I loved it. Great sportsmanship from Yipes too. I laughed out loud at 8:35. Great job from the commentators this set.
Game 1 from Yipes is GodLike seriously. I like Yipes attitude, That's was a great game Kusoru deserved for the all tournament, no discussion about that !
Oreo's RR is good no doubt but his best stuff is the Dante/RR combo with things like Double Shot assist -> Stinger -> Teleport or air H for mix ups and the Million Dollars -> Trap DHC -> Hard tag Dante -> Volcano -> Million Dollars. He 'spams' the assist a hell of a lot with RR, it's just a different assist. But equally important to his team as the log trap. I think people give him a pass because he hasn't really done much at majors and a good Dante is fun to watch by default.
kusoru's log trap + dive kick is really a ground air mix up. All players compartmentalize ground game and air game but the log can hit both places at the same time..........
Are you FOR REAL?! AgeoJoe's team has evolved so much since this tournament. He doesn't even have to use THCs to level up Frank. This combination of characters is "up there" I don't think he can beat Morri Doom though, but he has a sub character for when Frank or Joe won't cut it I believe.
In the second round kusoru paniced you can tell by the traps he got on yipes but I notice he was afraid to engage and when he did he would screw up as you saw that assist is what beats everyone u can't counter it u have to block take the whole screen and if you notice he gets hit reguardless where he is, he has to block besides the assist kusoru knows how to use RR yipes did well too. They both have ops RR vs Vergil
So i guess we should nerf Rocket Raccoon, and Viewtiful Joe, right guys? Any character that wins matches that isn't Dante, Vergil, Zero, Wesker, or Spencer deserves to be nerfed, because that's "lame". Let's see the same winning combos from the same 5 characters for the next decade. Am I right, guys?
Interesting that they say MVC2 didn't take off in Japan. Here in London i only know of one MVC2 machine - and its in Japanese. Makes it hard to pick assists unless you have memorised teh order in which tehy appear for your particular characters.
I see you have learned from you're mistakes. Nice job. Also if my response did not mean anything to you, why did you make sure to type it correctly? Also I have much to do so please message me faster.
so we have a guy who play bullet hell with morigan, another guy who use invisible doom missile but a asian guy come to the scene can spam a mtf projectile ? wtf are you people thinking ?
How does any of this have to do with me having trouble with a keep away character? I never even mentioned it. You are trying REALLY hard to find ways to make a comeback. I give you props kid.
the white guy commentating.......whats his name hes great and should always be the main guy other then YIPES the asian guy offers nothing to the commentary like regurgitated madden 04 commentary.........the white guy and yipes is just so professional yipes for the humor puns/great knowledge and the white guy for true professional and factual commentary about the game and the players.
I can't help but agree with you. All I kept getting paired up with in Street Fighter 4 was Hadouken Spammers. It's boring as frelling hell to watch, especially when there's no "recharge" for projectiles. They can just leap away and keep firing it at you, chipping away at you endlessly. Probably why I stopped playing Capcom fighters and returned to Soul Calibur: Far more strategy, lots more in-close combat, very few projectiles.
Oh i remember watching the whole top 16 on stream, and the continuing concern and saltiness from Gems and David about the possibility of japanese players winning marvel. Uhh it's out game we can't let em win...lmao Best player should win plain and simple, who the hell cares where he's from. Still too butthurt from the Japan/Korea SF dominance, move on fellas!
i think it stems from the fact that american players are generally "MARVEL" players. The commentators did say this, and they also said that "some american players dont think highly of japanese players". BOOM surprise !
Whenever any type of new technology is discovered to be in this game, people always wave the "op needz nerf" banner. I mean let the game evolve and most likely you'll find a way around it. Look at wesker, we've played against him so much that hes not so scary in lvl 3 x-factor anymore.
So because he was being sarcastic I can't make a genuine comment? c'mon dude i'm not 5. He's implying that log trap isn't really OP or that people will be too quick to judge it OP. I'm saying that it MIGHT be OP. I'm so offended right now, I demand you delete your comment.
i agree wit ur statment i dont like when people run away like bitches or "zone" but apparently its a great strategy to spam til u get an opening i dont understand why
After watching this a few more times, I think it's notable to say that Kusoru is at least somewhat predictable in his log traps with Joe. He does it during every single Red Hot Kick and when Joe is at the apex of his triple jump; it seems to be completely muscle memory because he does it in a few risky spots too. The pattern is very consistent and if someone could get the timing down it might be punishable.
i don't think they should be nerved, and i agree generally with your statement about overused characters, but that kid was spamming some ranged shit for a lot of the time, and that aint fun to watch
kusoru took some low tiers, found a gimmick, and won a tournament. if other players can't open up his strategy then props to him.
10 years later how the landscape has changed
The best is at 9:00 when you can see the gears turning in Ageojoe's head whether to pat Yipes on the back or not, and to this credit Yipes just laughs and doesn't get upset about it.
It's nice to see someone that looks like they are genuinely having fun just playing the game, even at a big tournament.
These were the golden days for this game : (
Yipes really stepped his game up, good to see him back in top 3 for Marvel.
I forgot how cancerous this comment section was.
right
damn yipes super young here damn the classics
I have never seen Kusoru lossing. He's probably the most powerfull UMVC3 and he goes with low ter charaters. My respects you got young Kusoru.
***** none of them are low tier just underplayed characters besides frank. Rocket raccoon imo is the the second most underated character in the game.
If it's OP, why isn't everyone using it?
Huge respect for Kusoru.
because it wasn't op people just didn't know the match up back then.
yo that ren and stimpy reference
I think we can all use this for tips in home defense. Remember:
Giant Log > Robot arm, Samurai Sword, and a Bow and Arrow
the action of the unexpected its what fighting games are about(and a key to winning!) ! when i watch this i feel like a kid looking at mvc2 back in the 90s!
February 24, 2000
Nice fight.
By the way,that soy sauce that Kusoru drank after the match is made in Japan?
It looks like "Marudaizu Sauce(JPN)''...I'm interesting in it because I'm Japanese.
Please tell me the name of his soy sauce.
Yeah I am still re watching this...
Yeah people have to understand that he was just really enjoying himself and his time there
Great match from both players! I'd take these characters any day over Mags, Doom, Morrigan, etc. I don't know if Joe was being friendly or playing the heel with the pat on the back, pointing to the camera at the end, and pumping his fists to the crowd at the end of game 2, but I loved it. Great sportsmanship from Yipes too.
I laughed out loud at 8:35. Great job from the commentators this set.
So much love to the commentators for the R&S Log reference. Made my fucking day. Love Chensor and Ultradavid.
"OH, there's the pie" classic
Game 1 from Yipes is GodLike seriously. I like Yipes attitude, That's was a great game Kusoru deserved for the all tournament, no discussion about that !
0:16 醤油(ボトルの中身はコーラ)
My guess is MvC3 is all Yipes has left in his life.. I wouldn't be suprised after losing a finals he'll snap.. probably the reason i like watching him
Oreo's RR is good no doubt but his best stuff is the Dante/RR combo with things like Double Shot assist -> Stinger -> Teleport or air H for mix ups and the Million Dollars -> Trap DHC -> Hard tag Dante -> Volcano -> Million Dollars. He 'spams' the assist a hell of a lot with RR, it's just a different assist. But equally important to his team as the log trap. I think people give him a pass because he hasn't really done much at majors and a good Dante is fun to watch by default.
This was so hype live, lovin it Spooky, thanks man!
8:35 Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood. It's better than that it's good. lolz
kusoru's log trap + dive kick is really a ground air mix up. All players compartmentalize ground game and air game but the log can hit both places at the same time..........
a) I don't think he was taunting Yipes, b) considering how hostile the American crowd can be, a little pat on the back is nothing.
I love the respect shown here.
So Kusoru's Log Trap baits against ChrisG's Morrigan runaway. Who's going to win that? Just curious now
Actually, Kusoru did not face ChrisG, the game your refering to is Mihe vs ChrisG which is still a good match to look for
Which match is it where Ageojoe Xfactors during a team super and makes Frank West drink?
i wish yipes didn't drop magneto. i used to love watching his from mvc2
Are you FOR REAL?!
AgeoJoe's team has evolved so much since this tournament. He doesn't even have to use THCs to level up Frank.
This combination of characters is "up there" I don't think he can beat Morri Doom though, but he has a sub character for when Frank or Joe won't cut it I believe.
"Rockcoon" nice. Ageojoe is making him rockcoon one of my fav. & hopefully they'll be more game play from him :>
In the second round kusoru paniced you can tell by the traps he got on yipes but I notice he was afraid to engage and when he did he would screw up as you saw that assist is what beats everyone u can't counter it u have to block take the whole screen and if you notice he gets hit reguardless where he is, he has to block besides the assist kusoru knows how to use RR yipes did well too.

@thefirstwhiteknight Is that uploaded anywhere??
So i guess we should nerf Rocket Raccoon, and Viewtiful Joe, right guys? Any character that wins matches that isn't Dante, Vergil, Zero, Wesker, or Spencer deserves to be nerfed, because that's "lame". Let's see the same winning combos from the same 5 characters for the next decade. Am I right, guys?
I have a question...why doesn't Yipes use his Vergil, Dante, and Mag squad?
Can't wait to see Ageojoe in another tourney, alot of US players are gonna be in their labs trying to find a way to counter such a unique team.
"Right on to the shopping kart again" yikes sure loves angry shoppers lol
Viewtiful Joe AND Rocket Raccoon?
This type of playstyle is use in DBZ Fighters till this day. Chip and whittle for gaurntee k.o.
How exactly do you know he wasn't taunting him in some way? How are you sure that's how they do it over there?
ageojoe is a fucking beast
LMFAOOOOO Yipes look so tight
yipes needa be like george of the jungle and WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE
@AVGegg .....what ? Hahaha i'd like to know where you get this information
Interesting that they say MVC2 didn't take off in Japan. Here in London i only know of one MVC2 machine - and its in Japanese. Makes it hard to pick assists unless you have memorised teh order in which tehy appear for your particular characters.
I don't see what nationality battles has to do with CappucinoBomb's comments.
I love yipes as much as the next guy but compare the teams, you gotta root for kusoru
Damn Yipes doesn't play Mag or Dante anymore??
I see you have learned from you're mistakes. Nice job. Also if my response did not mean anything to you, why did you make sure to type it correctly? Also I have much to do so please message me faster.
The Marvel characters don't have Japanese voices. Not even in the Japanese version. Just so you know.
almost 1 year later
and you still mad
Scoops in the thumbnail. They were begging him to come back to run the gulag😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Zomg... this guy inspired me to play as Rocket Raccoon for my anchor character! :D
This was like when Jimmy enter the nerds cave and beat the high score in Sumo.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And right onto the shopping cart once again
so we have a guy who play bullet hell with morigan, another guy who use invisible doom missile but a asian guy come to the scene can spam a mtf projectile ? wtf are you people thinking ?
How does any of this have to do with me having trouble with a keep away character? I never even mentioned it. You are trying REALLY hard to find ways to make a comeback. I give you props kid.
Over and over and over...and WON
Yipes making a comeback in the Marvel scene ya eard!
Heh, i rememeber this, if Yipes had done a tad more on raccoon, he wouldn't have had to deal with the LOG TRAP!
Occasionally he uses Dante/Vergil/Magneto. Saw a stream this week of it!
And Ageojoe was spamming Voomerangs and Log trap. He was playing spam-a-way.
Shout outs to the Ren & Stimpy reference.
Kusoru has a nice log trap set up wit viewtiful joe red hot kick.
Yipes is just a very serious player. He definitely gets in a "zone" for this.
I like how he's changed the other 2 characters voices to japanese but not rocket raccoon. The voice is too good =)
Marvel characters dont have jp voices
Is he drinking soy sauce at the end?
@Aurkus23 thanks for breakdown brah
the white guy commentating.......whats his name hes great and should always be the main guy other then YIPES the asian guy offers nothing to the commentary like regurgitated madden 04 commentary.........the white guy and yipes is just so professional yipes for the humor puns/great knowledge and the white guy for true professional and factual commentary about the game and the players.
UltraDavid is the guy you're referring to
that aisan guy sounds like ron for gta v
cheeky tea bag from Yipes during 7:40 combo
7:31 - Skill against skill alone. Gotta love no x-factor fights.
8:35 - HAAAAAA Ren & Stimpy.
I can't help but agree with you. All I kept getting paired up with in Street Fighter 4 was Hadouken Spammers. It's boring as frelling hell to watch, especially when there's no "recharge" for projectiles. They can just leap away and keep firing it at you, chipping away at you endlessly.

Combofiend & Flash Metroid in the background (middle of screen) there XD
Oh i remember watching the whole top 16 on stream, and the continuing concern and saltiness from Gems and David about the possibility of japanese players winning marvel. Uhh it's out game we can't let em win...lmao
Best player should win plain and simple, who the hell cares where he's from. Still too butthurt from the Japan/Korea SF dominance, move on fellas!
OMG at the Ren and Stimpy reference @ 8:35 LOL LOL. You probably have to be over 25 to have even caught it LOL dying laughing over here!
All these new marvel fans. STOP CRYING for nerfs jesus. We've played marvel 2 for 10 years without a single patch and it was and still is awesome
You're joking right? I insulted you in no way; I simply made a correction that apparently was not necessary.
If you would like to start your argument at least type it correctly.
i was singing the log song from ren and stimpy show lol.
God viewtiful Joe pissed me off
i think it stems from the fact that american players are generally "MARVEL" players. The commentators did say this, and they also said that "some american players dont think highly of japanese players". BOOM surprise !
I just saw a raccoon in my backyard..............I'm scared!
Whenever any type of new technology is discovered to be in this game, people always wave the "op needz nerf" banner. I mean let the game evolve and most likely you'll find a way around it. Look at wesker, we've played against him so much that hes not so scary in lvl 3 x-factor anymore.
@sadisticupid But there is still differnet levels of cheapness in this game. Every character isn't equally "cheap."
this is why you don't spam assist. it's part of the game.
James Chen knows about "Furry Creatures"?
well i mean for the fact the he does his phoenix rising thing but yeah i think agojoe is the best
8:16 "but fortunately HACKHHHAIY" lmao
shaun douglas lmao!
So because he was being sarcastic I can't make a genuine comment? c'mon dude i'm not 5. He's implying that log trap isn't really OP or that people will be too quick to judge it OP. I'm saying that it MIGHT be OP. I'm so offended right now, I demand you delete your comment.
0:29 same as your "world series" when the US got creamed by Japan..should change that to national series after that debacle..
i agree wit ur statment i dont like when people run away like bitches or "zone" but apparently its a great strategy to spam til u get an opening i dont understand why
why do u come across as someone whose skin tone is that of butter?
11:26 Tazz & Jim Ross of Gamers

The pattern is very consistent and if someone could get the timing down it might be punishable.
8:35 That's what she said. AmIrite?
I honestly think Yipes did Better against Joe than PR Rog
"Hes got meter, on meters, on meters!" No, dude. He's got two fuckin' meters. Calm your shit.
i don't think they should be nerved, and i agree generally with your statement about overused characters, but that kid was spamming some ranged shit for a lot of the time, and that aint fun to watch
yipes looks like he's going to tear shit up
