SURPRISE!!!!!

When I saw what we had to do for this blog entry, it took me a while to figure what would be a good thing that's surprising. As I was hanging out with friends a couple of days ago, we played some money matches in a game called Marvel vs. Capcom 3. As I was playing and watching others play, things were going great as I had his team down to one person left against my team of three. He tried to pick and pop me until he gained his five bars for his bullshit, but I was able to get the opening I needed, but it was too late. My last hit gave him the fifth bar that lead to my destruction. My money life changed before my eyes.

This girl right here:


How can girl go from being such a nice caring person, to this:


She starts flying around throwing fireballs and shit all over the place. One character dies, I prep myself for my next guy coming in, but before I knew what hit me, flaming birds got me before I could block and now I'm bouncing all over the screen until my second guy is dead. They start to lay down traps and I'm sitting here looking confused about what's gonna happen next, my guy comes in, she teleports behind me as the traps go off, all I think is that I'm fucked.

My face changed so many ways, so quickly.

I went from:


To this:


To finally this as I realized that I just lost $50 bucks:


As I'm sitting there afterwards seeing my buddy run through everybody, matches ending with my buddy and Phoenix giving everybody a look like


I went home later to rest, but I started to look at matches of pro players playing and literally if Dark Phoenix comes out to play, you know you're fucked after that.

Here are some examples of that:

This is game already goes from a two - player game to a one - player game if you're playing somebody who actually knows what they are doing. I've seen people who literally made it that if they touch you once, you might as well put the controller down cause it's a wrap for you trying to come back.

There are so many examples of her ruining peoples' days, but we still come back and fight the psychotic bitch to this day. People have made ways to instantly kill her as soon as she turns, but those ways are so specific, you might as well just to kill her before she has her five bars.

This game is so full of surprises, it's sickening sometimes. I've had it where I'll dominate somebody and then it all goes awry and vice versa. That's why I love it, I've never seen such a big swing in matches like I see in MVC3 and the crowds love it.
