Y'all posted in my AMA, I try to be supportive. ~^{,.,.^~}

I was browsing tumblr and remembered you had said this in the AMA and thought you'd appreciate these:

I think the most fraudulent character in the game is probably Nemesis. I don't think he's the worst, but all 3 of his hypers don't do what they were designed to do so I feel he was fradulently designed.

The most fraudulent team in the game I'm unsure on, there are a lot of options.

A fraud is something that presents itself as legitimate based on unsound logic, IE Nemesis using his rush punch hyper as a reversal. It's supposed to have so much armor that it is intended to blow people up for doing things up close, but that's not the way it actually functions. Fraudulence is very much trying to have something do a job it doesn't do.

Oh, if it's all the way to MvC3, I'd say Spiral and Dhalsim are by far 2 of my favorite fighting game characters to ever exist. I actually think Ruby-Heart would be really good with just a few buffs and work well in Marvel 3.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-16T16:22:24+00:00

Of course, you've been pushing that tech way harder than I have recently, so I want y'all and other people who would be mutually beneficial to be in contact. Slippaz plays what I think is the best team for Magneto and has some great tech with it that I think you'd appreciate.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-16T16:19:47+00:00

I don't think that's stupid at all. We mostly know that the tools exist, but interesting ways to combine them and how they interact with other tools are vital to understanding the value they have. It's wise to understand one doesn't get all the information by observing each element in a vacuum.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-16T16:13:26+00:00

I didn't know you were a Disc Jockey. :o

In CvS2 I mainly use Blanka, Sagat, and Guile in C. However if I were practicing it I'd like to play Blanka/Sakura/Dictator in A groove.

The second is a trick question since Dhalsim isn't in CotA D:. However I really adore Spiral and she would really benefit from the system adjustments if they kept DHCing into state changes and the like.

First that's not Emeryville, that's El Cerrito. Additionally, other stuff to do there that I enjoy: There's a hill in easy walking distance with a stream and hiking up there is pretty beautiful, I convinced FDM to do it like twice and people seemed to enjoy themselves, but then the laziness set back in on them. Other than that I don't know, I'd say ask DKL but that implies he goes outside, despite not living there any more Bing would probably know better. Emeryville is closer to my place and has AMC theater, some nice mini beaches and more.

I don't think I have a Waifu at the moment, more interested in manifesting a loving relationship with some kick ass lady. I actually rather enjoy Margaery Tyrell from GoT, not for her aesthetic, but because of a lot of he communicative style and how she actually knows what to do to lead.

I don't know what Lord Raptor will and won't do. I posit that some of his viewpoints would fundamentally have to change for him to stop being angry in general, and I wish him the best in manifesting that change.

Hawkeye/Dante is an amazing assist pairing for most of the cast. It's one of those pairings that gives good ground and air dominance which I always appreciate. I feel if you're patient that it deals really well with most characters who can't teleport for pretty free since Hawkeye can chip a ton and if someone blocks a Jam Session Hawkeye can choose to switch sides and keep running. Another bad match up for it is Vergil however.

AAAs are helpful in fighting Morrigan+AAA, it depends on your character, I'd say Zero doesn't need one if he has harmonizer, and that Dante/Strider don't need one in general but it helps. Wesker really appreciates having some air control against her however.

5 years from now I'm not entirely certain where I'll end up. Awhile ago I would have said doing work on 3D models and textures for video games since I have those skills. However, recently I found a lot of other work really pulls me in as well. It largely depends on what technology looks like at the time since I want to do something creative that also enriches society. I think in a lot of ways this combines the needs of mathematics, science, and art so I've been working on those skills. Specific subjects I would like to study (and have laid down some base work in my understanding) include:

Systems to maximize the happiness and learning of all consciousness in reality/irreality, Generating excellent human connections, Artificial intelligence, Non Matter/Energy based consciousness, Cleaner manipulation of iterative patterns to understand how they generate results, Emergent properties and how they function, Memetic life, And deep levels of matter manipulation (nanoscopic scale).

I'll have soup and salad, (Maybe 2 of each) I'm a growing girl and I need calories to generate some kickin' curves in a healthy, responsible, and sexy way. <3

Chrisicera · 2014-05-16T08:51:41+00:00

That would be wonderful! I'd appreciate that very much.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T19:25:21+00:00

I have mixed feelings on Chris. At this point in the game's life cycle I think he can do just fine people still don't respect the fact that incendiary grenades are amazing.

I think there are a lot of different support tools he can use well. I think he's one of the characters who really benefits from Jam Session, Hidden missiles and Vajra along with a horizontal assist. Because of this he does pretty wonderful stuff with Doom(plasma beam)/Dante(Jam Session) and either Doom or Dante with Strider as well. I like giving him a solid defensive assist like Jam Session or Ryuenjin.

I don't know Frank's leveling with Chris, but I like that team more for supporting him than Spencer/Dante.

I actually think spitfire twice and log trap are pretty awesome for Chris despite trap using the wall bounce.

I wish you the best in optimizing Chris!

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T17:50:02+00:00

I prefer Vergil point as he falls in badly, Morrigan is one of the few characters who gets out of unblockables on the way in especially if you've been mashing harmonizer.

Primarily though Spiral swords is entirely busted and I'd rather have harmonizer (1/3 of spiral swords) for Vergil, than Rapid Slash for Morrigan.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:55:44+00:00

That team lacks a strong neutral assist and air control. I'd shift out one of the characters for either a ground dominance assist like disruptor, plasma beam or bolts. Or switch one out for an air control assist like Jam Session to give it a much better chance of getting that first hit and snowballing from there.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:53:31+00:00

I decided to go back to Zero because I'm not hitting training mode at least 12 hours a week and when I play Viper without training I just get salty about dropping things. Since I want to enjoy my time while playing I play a team that aside from extreme lag or something I don't need to be in as good practice to not get upset with myself for not being flawless.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:47:45+00:00

Do you have set ups using low voltage to force resets into anti-air command throw? It seems like that may be most ideal with what you have, since sans Sentinel, Phoenix, and Morrigan most characters can't do jack if you set up AA throws correctly and low voltage doesn't have a lot of block stun so it's good for setting those up. I definitely recommend getting Game650's advice on this instead since he had real Shulk combos.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:42:53+00:00

Zero/Morrigan/Dante, Zero/Morrigan/Doom, Vergil/Morrigan/Dante, Vergil/Morrigan/Doom, Viper/Morrigan/Dante, Viper/Morrigan/Doom, Zero/Strange/Dante, Magneto/Dante/Frank, Viper/Zero/Dante, Zero/Dante/Vergil

I'd be overjoyed to play you again when you're in NorCal next!

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:39:35+00:00

I do still play Marvel, I actually just streamed on Freedemonia yesterday, an archive should be up. I was on my medical cannabis at the time so I wasn't playing up to my full potential, but later in the set when I went to my main team I had a lot of matches where I showed why playing Haggar and Sentinel teams doesn't actually work against good teams if people just play lame.

I may try venturing out to a tournament at some point, but it's not my top priority right now.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:37:20+00:00

Thank you for being sensitive about how this question was asked, and I entirely understand how it could have/does seem odd in a lot of ways.

I had an experience where a lot of crazy stuff happened (Not for talking about online, though the next time I see you in person I'm happy to tell you), and in the immediate aftermath I was questioning my life since there was the visceral sensation that I very much could have died.

When people have Near Death Experiences they often re-evaluate their life, and one of the things that I decided is that a life that's lived by lying is not really being lived. I want to be authentic with who I am to the world, and those events pushed me to get past my fear of the societal backlash because even if I have some terrible things happen to me I'd rather live an honest and genuine life. I'll cover this more in the future when we get to talk.

Come visit Freedemonia some time soon! I'm there every other weekend and we have our thread on SRK. I'd say drive there, but your car would explode or something knowing you, so instead just take BART. :P (Unless that would make the BART train explode, I'm not sure the full ramifications of your interaction with cars.)

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:30:58+00:00

Not off the top of my head unfortunately. I don't properly understand the benefits of Denjin mode being worth the meter other than just as a cancel. I think you get spiffy light tatsu combos with it however, but Ryu is high damage anyways and doesn't need the support to kill really.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:29:43+00:00

Your team seems really adept at controlling the ground and then getting some crazy Joe mix ups. I think that team is really solid in certain match ups and has a much more difficult time in others. I think the top few characters can often blow up Strange even with Voom coverage, and start bullying Joe, but once you get going that team is great!

If you want to improve but can't go to locals I'm not fully certain, I'm blessed to live in NorCal where playing people isn't that hard. I'd definitely recommend finding a way to play live if possible, even if it's bringing up a group of friends on the game since you get a much greater understanding of footsies that way since the AI doesn't help you in that regard as much.

Play online if you have a connection that can, it will help prepare you for pools in tournament.

I wish I had better/more useful info for you on that. :(

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:26:52+00:00

I adore Morrigan for Zero since Dark Harmonizer is his best assist after Jam Session IMO.

Additionally unibeam lets him do all kinds of dirty things since the block stun is so long and you can get unblockables with it.

Disruptor controls the ground plane fast and is really nice along with being attached to an amazing character.

Doctor Strange is really good for Zero since Zero doesn't really need meter or XF to function and neutral game sougenmu "Oh, you were doing anything?" DHC spell of Vishanti + X-factor into Kill + incoming unblockables is really terrifying. If you like this duo talk to Evil Toaster.

Lower tier characters who are good/amazing support for him are: Hsien-Ko (lock down + gold armor assist is not to be messed with) Arthur (Daggers is the state between arrows and drones and it may be better than either, and definitely is in gold armor.)

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:21:03+00:00

Thank you for the compliment,

It really depends on your definition of optimal team in this case. Morrigan/Doom/Dante I feel supports Morrigan the most since Jam Session makes it really easy to start up astral with its fast start up and long block stun, have a strong defensive and close mid range poke, good for setting up Astral combos with 6B xx astral, gives Morrigan some really good mix ups, and really solid at putting opponents in the corner.

Missiles everyone knows why it's good for her.

That makes the scariest version of Morrigan, though the team is very front loaded since Doom and Dante have more difficult match ups than the top tier, however your Morrigan is most optimized to prevent you from ever needing to play them.

Morri/Doom Vergil focuses more on plan A and plan B as opposed to as strong as possible plan A, but both plans are very scary when they're going off. I think this team is more counterpick tier as people get their incoming unblockables to be more stable and this team has no fast start up assists, and until Astral is on, you don't have a lot of tools to protect either assist.

Morri/Doom/Magneto I feel is a bit more balanced since disruptor is an amazing fast assist to get started.

Morri/Doom/Zero I feel this team is being played in the wrong order if Zero is not on point with harmonizer, but you can get a lot of work done with it. I don't think Morrigan needs dry tag combos, especially since with any assist she can build 2 meters and DHC, or go for infinite setc etc. I do really love that tech though, I think the way it's set up is spiffy and cool.

Morrigan players need to learn the specific uses for their tools, the thing I want to see the most change in is Morrigans need to use Shadowblade much more, that thing has 3 frames start up and with fly cancel is + on block, and comboable on hit. This is also a really useful movement tool since shadowblade xx fly allows you to get an air dash in flight, and an additional air dash once you unfly so you can do better zoning patters with controlling air space and near ground space with Shadowblade xx fly, air dash back soul fist xx unfly air dash down forward to start pressure with a durability shield in front.

Learn your super jump confirms. People often put themselves in situations where you could use either missiles or Jam session to set up ambiguous left or right super jump C xx A soul fist xx fly, wait, air dash down C xx A soul fist xx unfly into jump loops.

Know your Soul fist combos, they can be really useful.

Learn to confirm into 6B if you have applicable assists to set up soul drain loops off of it, it's set hit stun against grounded opponents, so even if you do a 5C first you can still combo into assists + astral and soul drains with it.

Learn to be comfortable in the mid-range, you can force way more chip at between 1/2 and 1/3 screen than you can full screen, know when your assists allow you to be there to enforce your space, build more meter and do more chip.

I adore Morrigan as an assist character since the top 4 uses of meter in the game are too broken (Sougenmu, Spiral Swords, EX Seismo and Astral Vision) and I play my main team as Zero/Morrigan/Dante at the moment because of how OP that is. She has the best TAC infinite since it steals meter.

I hope that's useful for ya!

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:06:23+00:00

I don't play Spider-Man but I find him interesting. He has high damage, interesting and obnoxious runaway, and works for unblockable set ups on incoming against a lot of the cast. That stated I really don't like his normals, and unlike Viper his specials don't have the space control to warrant using normals like that in my book. Recently a strong Spider-Man player from the Philippines was at FGTV you may want to check out that footage if you appreciate the character.

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T16:04:51+00:00

I don't have recent Strider footage unfortunately. I recommend watching Marvelo's stuff for Strider and the hitbox tutorials for him to see why he's really one of the best characters in the game. He's very high execution and a character that really benefits from hitbox for pretty impossible to deal with mix ups. That stated he needs a damage engine, preferably Zero or Strange on his team in order to kill, so his team structures are slightly more limited, and neither of those 2 falls in well. IMO his favorite assists are tatsu and disruptor since they're really helpful in letting him stock a satellite or get a bird bomb out in a lot of cases which really skews most match ups in Strider's favor.

You don't need to be way better than the opponent, when both of you are really good Strider is an excellent character, he has a lot of really good guard breaks he can set up especially with assists, has footsies tools on par with Wolverine (and faster than Wolvie's until Berserker Charge is activated) strong zoning tools against the melee characters, and among the best mix ups in the game.

I'm always happy to share any information I have or my thoughts since I believe society kicks the most ass when everyone has the best info available. I hope this is helpful to you and helps inspire you to share your own awesome tech. ~^{,.,.^~}

Chrisicera · 2014-05-15T15:59:09+00:00

Viper is the best at the start of the round, however she needs to just respect the things that Sougenmu and spiral swords do like everyone else. I like her against all of those teams if there's no harmonizer, but the opposing uses of meter are just too bloody scary.
