UMvC3 Team Combo and Mixup Video

I finally felt like I had come up with a few cool things with my UMvC3 team, so I took some time to record some clips and made a little video. However, this video is a little different than the ones I did for my old team in MvC3.

With my old team, I had a lot of interesting combos, especially thanks to the DHC glitch. And although I have some sweet combos with my new team in UMvC3 on par with my old Dante stuff, this team is almost equally focused on mixups. Therefore, this video evolved into part combo video, part mixup video.

The transcript will be added to the description soon, so if you're interested in that check back in a day or so. Enjoy!

Dr. Strange Mixups

umvc3, dr strange

A lot of people have been asking me about what I've been able to come up with for Dr. Strange so far in UMvC3. As far as I know, no one is doing anything even remotely like the setups I'm revealing here, and the key to making them work is j.S. Don't understand? Check out In the Lab: Strange Mixups and see how to use j.S to your advantage to set up your mixups.

I'll be doing my best to put these mixups to use on tonight's stream, so come check it out!

The Breakdown Episode 2: Pushblocking

Posted by Ryan Hunter on Sunday, November 20th, 2011 (01:36 AM)

the breakdown, pushblock

The recording of episode 2 of the Breakdown has been uploaded to youtube! This episode is a little shorter due to the topic being covered in training mode, rather than by analyzing matches. This was necessary since I wanted to cover a topic specific to Marvel, but the game hasn't been out long enough for there to be enough matches to look at.

The topic this week was Pushblocking, specifically looking at some common types of teleport mixups which can be avoided by proper pushblocking. After the portion of the show that was put on youtube, I answered questions from the stream for about 30 mins relating to pushblocking, so if you're looking for more on the subject, you can check out the raw archive of the stream on twitch.tv/optionselect.

Hope everyone is enjoyed UMvC3! See you guys on Mixup Monday for more UMvC3 action!

The Breakdown Episode 1

the breakdown, habits, key points

Although I've done a handful of episodes of The Breakdown so far, I'm considering them all pilot episodes until now. I felt like last week's episode was strong, and worthy of being the first official episode. If you missed it live, you can catch episode 1 of The Breakdown on our youtube and then fix your mistake by tuning in this Thursday for the next episode.

A quick sidenote: still having problems with my recordings getting corrupted by xsplit, so again, the show is uploaded directly from the twitch archives. I apologize for the slight audio desync, but I'm working to resolve the issue in the future.

Also, don't forget we're streaming our usual Mixup Monday tonight!
