That Lythero, always fraudulently putting up videos recording stuff he actually did.

Lythero · 21-01-2013 5:54pm

The thing is, I do upload videos of me losing, and even getting perfected :C

But yeah, there's definitely a whole lot more hate going 'round in gamefaqs and gamespot threads discussing "how good do you think Lythero is?" topics.

The general consensus is: I'm ****, but make entertaining vidjas. I can live with that.

Doctor DooM · 21-01-2013 11:29pm

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what the denizens of sites like event hubs or gamefaqs think man

Ireland may not have the greatest Marvel players in the world but at least we are not tier whores. :P

Thats nothing to ride home about:/

I was like that once, ruffling about with low tiers
Now I'm an unscrupulous tier whore

Most of UK is free anyway, can only think of 2 people that outplayed me and rest were mistakes on my part
I'm not grilling them, they've got some great players, just not as many good players as their AE community has

Learn Vergil Doom and Morrigan mu's and you can't lose to the majority of em :pac:

Bento Sento · 22-01-2013 9:57pm

Ireland needs more Frank West.

MrHorse · 23-01-2013 1:48am

best of luck for cannes lads

its happening at march 1 -3 yeh?

Lythero · 23-01-2013 2:16am

Still very new to the whole tournament scene, so take this with a pinch of salt:

I'm convinced that a lot of the players over at SvB banked a large part of their strategy on mind games. Some high level players like HowToRead were really pleasant to talk to and play against, but at least half of the other gamers were geared with pulled over hoodies, over-sized headphones and even bandanas.

I've watched Doom's uploads where the Irish FGC will mention composure during commentating and state how important it is. I didn't really see the point until after SvB. When I was playing against someone who at first acted like an mlg-pro-athlete for e-games, and then lost all nerve after the first 1 or 2 matches, it was surprising how predictable they became.

So I guess the only advice I'd have is: if they have that "unbeatable" demeanor about them, don't think about it too much. Cause they'll probably start ****ting bricks if you put up a half-decent fight.

This was a reply to Nutrients post, which he has deleted(I think).

Never mind.

I've been to Cannes a few times now, and almost without fail, if a guy is doing that stone faced crap (in groups)before a match I know I've won. I just give them a big, gormless smile which I hope puts the thought in their head "this guy is too stupid to understand what I am doing". SF is a bit different to Marvel though in that I can risk a stupid flash kick in the early goings against most characters and not jeapordise the entire match if it doesn't land. Regardless, the other guy has "online warrior" in their head and will be more reticent to apply wake up pressure, even later in the match when I will be trying to play much safer. Doyler referred to this in one video as "applying just the right amount of crazy". Another option for them is they will go for (difficult) safe jumps, thinking I will try and flash them. Which of course I won't.

Note- this is a very different thing to someone who's serious and focused about a game, it's a form of intimidation and newer people will know when it's being tried on them. Laugh it off if it does happen.

Doing nothing is the best mind game. People go insane if you do nothing.

MrHorse · 23-01-2013 10:25pm

doing nothing reminds me of a bruce lee quote i think its - ''the art of fighting without fighting''

D4RK ONION · 24-01-2013 1:16am

Too too good.

Oh dear.

Speed Boat · 26-01-2013 4:15am

I just saw those videos. Hilarious tech.

Sairus · 26-01-2013 2:03pm

That Iron Man/She Hulk nonsense was one of the best videos for Marvel I've seen in a long time. Really great the way he shows so many variations on the same theme, inputs and situations in one solid 'combo'.

Also, how new is that blocked hyper DHC anti-air grab tech? Can others do it, or just Iron Man with the AA cannon?

Speed Boat · 26-01-2013 8:53pm

Same folks uploaded these vids too for those who haven't seen.

Which led to this one...

Particularly interested in the latter. As it should work with my team, though it's not a guaranteed grab (I don't think), more a very strong mix up/set up.

Normally you are throw invincible on incoming until you land unless you press a button but people found out that you lose the invincibility if you block anything.This was know since vanilla which is why you can see sent do meaty j.s dash grab,spencer do late j.h dash a.a throw etc.Don't know why it took so long for people to try the the same thing with spiderman/shulk.The blocked hyper dhc is the exact same principle.
