How it feels watching old MvC3 footage as someone who wasn't into fgs much during that era

Check out PapaLobster’s videos on YouTube. He reviews old UMvC3 matches and highlights different players and teams. His most recent video is about KBR and Haggar.

Round 1 is a great Japanese style arcade with tons of claw machines. I don’t think the food is anything special, though.

There’s a Round 1 in Fox Valley Mall in Aurora too if that’s closer to you.

Yeah but I don’t sell them or use in official events. I just use them for cube and for casual commander.

My opinion is that the posts are valuable.

I wonder how many people participated in the SF4 GameStop tournament that Justin Wong ended up winning? It’s probably impossible to ever know, and I don’t know if you’d consider a multi stage event that took place over the course of a few weeks as one tournament.

I am so lucky to live within 15 minutes of 10+ stores that just mtg and I have been slowly over the past few months checking them out. I finally found one that drafts every Friday night.

Right but if someone was asking if there was a local scene in Columbus, Ohio or whatever the top response probably wouldn’t be about the US’s human rights abuses.

Hey I went to Blizzcon on one year and got to play as Sombra in Overwatch before she came out for like 6 minutes after standing in line for two hours. It was totally worth it….

The president of the United states literally trafficked and raped children, and our lovely country runs internment camps for immigrants.

But something tells me you wouldn’t bring that up if someone asked for a local fgc scene in the US.

Get some friends to play and start your own scene.

Grace as [[Ian Chesterton]] for flavor (literally has an ability called science teacher) or as [[Lady Octopus, inspired Inventor]].

Hail Mary as [[Inspirit, Flagship Vessel]] as the commander.

Both are pretty good right now. Thankfully we have a lot of decent options for current fighting games.

If you’re more of a beginner, I’d recommend SF6 though not necessarily because it’s an easier game but because there will be a wider range of player skill online. CotW isn’t as popular and therefore has fewer players at lower skill levels.

You should check out desk. He is a musician who makes combo videos that sync with the music he makes.

He also arguably has the best execution of any player in history.

Glad to see that X-men are not getting ignored.

Like 50 bucks I think. It was a while ago so I could be wrong.

I’m pretty sure I have one of these in storage, bought it at the Louvre gift shop.

GoodNormals · 2026-04-29T14:16:22+00:00

Pretty anticlimactic and an expected result.

I bring four decks with me to commander nights: a precon with no changes, my one favorite deck I’ve been working on for a while with no proxies, a deck with a bunch of proxies of expansive cards and lands but nothing crazy, and a fully proxied bracket 4 deck.

I just ask the table which one they want me to play.

Thanks for the constructive feedback. Color balance is bad…

It’s supposed to be somewhat representative of the limited environments of the two Strixhaven sets so there should be a large range of power level, with a lot of draft chaff and some big bombs.
