That's competitive MvC2, in a nutshell.Originally Posted by Depression Moon
You could have blinked and missed BlazBlue, it didn't last much longer than 5 minutes. One Noel player utterly decimated the 5 or 6 people he played against. It was over quick. They had it designated as an 'Exhibition' match, just for show, so I don't think that player actually won anything (as opposed to the $7,000 that was up for SF4).
He was playing against 'Dan from Japan', who is seen as Daigo's sparring partner. Thing about Japan is, they play on the arcades. Cammy is a console-only character. Sanford did that on purpose, knowing Dan didn't have a lot (or any) experience against Cammy, and Cammy has a couple of moves you can exploit if your opponent doesn't know how to deal with them. Dan was definitely learning fast though, but a single match is just not enough time to truly overcome someone who is skilled with her. Sanford later said he would use Seth--another only-playable-on-console character--against Daigo. Trying to go for their lack of experience.
There were some great matches all weekend, some people I saw on Friday and Saturday who were unfortunately eliminated definitely had some real skill. Evo is usually a good show, and when Wong and Justin meet up it's usually an entertaining fight. I think this was the first time Justin was so successful against Daigo. There was a bit of international trash talk from both sides of that match.
