Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 Feature Match coL.CC Filipino Champ (Magneto Doctor Doom Phoenix) vs FRB Kusoru Ageojoe (Viewtiful Joe Frank West Rocket Racoon) - Final Round XV - Road to Evo 2012
I still come back to this video just because of the pure hype that Kusoru instilled in that room when he dodge-rolled and Mega-Man anti-air Super'd Dark Phoenix transformation. Hype so loud the mic cut out from the noise. So awesome.
Ageojoe dominated this tournament because he did things that nobody expects. Everyone has played against a Wesker/Magneto/Dr. Doom team a billion times in North America but nobody knows what the heck to do when confronted with Viewtiful Joe or Rocket Raccoon. Kudos to that winning strategy.
A huge advantage of using low tiers in any fighting game, lots of tech your opponent is not used to or might not even know. Feel like everyone should have some low tiers on the side just to throw off some opponents
at lv3 or higher, Frank gains a mostly invincible roll which can be used to "cancel" out of certain moves in order to make them less punishable. He x-factored in order to cancel the ending lag of the shopping cart super, used the roll to escape the fire that comes out when Phoenix transforms, and well used the air super
The phoenix moment was actually more complicated than it might appear. Both the roll and the Funny Face Crusher needed a level 3 frank for it to be available. At 1:51 Frank had 13 points to level him up to level 2. He needed 7 more points for the level 3. He BARELY made it at 2:37 with the 8 hit combo which is RIGHT BEFORE the Dark Phoenix rising. Beautiful play if i do say so myself.
Bruh, that Joe/Frank/Rocket duo was hilarious and Awesome😂🤣 who the hell would get upset after witnessing such awesomeness?? That match was nothing short of Entertaining,Strategic and Epic!
Honestly though, i have watch this fight countless time already and it still got me everytime ........ like "DAmnnnn!" that's soooo good. I believe that any other players and champ himself till this day still cannot bring themselves to get mad at kusoru in this match. He pull off the epic shit not once but twice...... Well deserve win.
This is the kinda fighter I look up to. The kind that says "Fuck tiers" and takes people out with the "weaklings" of the game. Seriously, the simply fact that you so rarely see Viewtiful Joe, Rocket Racoon, and Frank West gives you and advantage because so few people know what their tactics are and even few know how to counter it.
its absolutely amazing how much the meta has changed and the way marvel is played now. "Frank west is a very strong character" "leveld up frank west is probably one of the best characters in the game" the game evolved soooo much.
As the other guy said it comes down to how much you need to invest to be able to get level 4/5. Level 5 Frank is extremely strong, especially paired with Dante Jam Session assist. Its just not worth it to need to craft your emtire team around Frank when you could just run like Vergil anchor and ez wipe a whole team with level 3 x in 15 seconds. Also the only other Frank West main i can even think of that didnt move on from the character was the Canadian player BBall? But as far as i remember he didnt travel much and i only really saw him play Canada Cup. No idea if he still plays.
Very great match!! I love Rocket Raccoon!! XD looks like when Kusoru Ageojoe set the first trap, Filipino Champ knew it was there but when he super jumped out of it Kusoru Ageojoe set another one closer to him and Filipino Champ never noticed it. XD Great match!!!
I was there in person, and even this video can't capture how much hype was in the room far after that frank west setup. Everyone literally got out their seats and started cheering
@daihaksu that's why you're playing a keep away game. use mag to blow up racoon full screen. dorms large hitbox makes people trigger happy, hell probably more trigger happy once you have log assist. use that to bait log and counter call mag assist and you can stuff log before it comes out. and dorm just blows up joe if all joe is doing is super and double/triple jumps while fishing. just throw out a run ball and do pillar/black holes with doom miss and chip away.
@hogtownbro He used Frank West Super which has a bit of invincibility to avoid Phoenix's explosion effect during her transformation which canceled it and allowed him to capture her for the win. Something never seen round these parts.
@Nekros4442 From the sound of it, I'm guessing he was using HRAP VA 3 since the start button can be pressed accidentally during a match especially when you mash in this game.
Depends what you mean by that, ive played fighters since i was a small kid. However i didnt start paying attention to people who went to tourneys until just this summer.
So he inched forward onto the trap as Champ was flying away. The teleport behind put him too close to even crouching light, gets caught unaware he was so close, and dies for it. Very very very smart play.
