How often is that Midwest player named "KishPrime?" I tell a lot of old man stories.

And yes, FC3 is still the best tournament ever.

Nah, I think it died sometime after Genesis 1 when pretty much all of EC (including M2K) admitted that WC is way better.

Uhhhh... didn't WC (Mango) talk ish on EC during Apex? And yet EC still won?

EC vs WC didn't happen at Genesis 1, but does anyone actually think EC could have won?

There's no way you can count that APEX 2010 crew battle. EC acquired Hbox, Shiz, and PP for who knows what reason (they're part of the South). And WC had weak representation, including a Mario-happy Mango.

I believe geographically Maine to Florida counts as the East Coast of the US.

Regionally they're south east.

don't you ****ing tell me that EC vs. WC didn't happen at Genesis, lol. seriously, were you even there? I was there, it was hype as balls. Mango CPed M2K to Corneria and his Falco got ****ED UP HARD. EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!! ****, just thinking about it I'm getting hype again.

I like how you make incorrect posts in an effort to assert that Fox is super broken.
It's not incorrect though. Characters like GNW, YL, etc actually stay in stun long enough for grab to be guaranteed.

Foxes dair vs low tiers is similar to how Falco's dair works on grounded characters. They do that awkward falling animation whilst still grounded, but not being forced into hard knockdown.

Since when was "low tiers" a category of characters that shared the same physical properties?

WC will never win a crew battle as long as mango is in charge

"let's send in a pika to take 1 stock from a falcon, even though we know that they have a chain grab happy sheik"

among the other brilliant decisions made between genesis and apex

Wans't Mango's philosophy on the crew battles is that the WC has heart? So wouldn't sending in Axe like that just represent the fact that heart > pride?

EC wins crew battles because the skill distribution is top-heavy. The second and third tier of WC players >>> that of other regions. In other words, WC has a lower (better) Gini coefficient of skill.

So basically EC has some really good people and some really crappy people, but WC has all good to great people? Like, if top 40 in WC played top 40 in EC WC would beast?

EC always has far better strategy in Crews. WC usually depends more upon their players' strength than actual crew strategy. <_<

Right, but doesn't this work vs everybody? Or at least most characters?

I did not agree with a lot of the MW team decisions at both FC6 and FCD, but I couldn't exactly put myself in charge. :p I thought we should've beaten West Coast in both years, especially since they weren't as strong of a team because they were missing key players...and I think we lost to South once, too. Ugh.

Crew captains are important.
