LOL every one hates on Andre
I wouldn't even consider that major considering it didn't have many heavy hitters. Aside from ChrisG, Noel Brown, NerdJosh, Dieminion, and Andre, no one else was there.

I hope hax is watching civil war right now.
cause morrigan doom just got bopped by haggar. theres a bunch of people running it right now, because its a good team, but nobody is going to have nearly the success that Chris G has because Chris is just a better player than everyone else who copies him AND the vast majority of people he plays against
and by comp do you mean composition, as in my team?
its in the OP.

Thats actually the point. If the team was really THAT good/the matchup THAT bad, any random scrub could just show up, pick the team and never lose to haggar/wolverine/anycharacter that struggles against zoning.
Clearly that is not the case. Which means that despite the team being strong, it is not strong enough to overcome ones deficiencies as a player. And that the real reason that Chris G does so well is because he himself is a fantastic, near broken player, and not because the team itself is broken.
Also, as a quick aside, ammy does quite well against that team due to her ability to reflect projectiles and stay in the air for an extended period of time via air dashes and weapon switches.

Ammy does absolutely nothing to Morrigan w/ a get off me assist such as Akuma. it goes through her reflector, and then she loses to soul fist hell
you literally just said that a character falls into one of two categories: broken to the point where a noob can pick him/her up and beat the best in the world, or not broken. if it were that simple, we wouldn't be having an argument...
when i call a character braindead, i don't mean you can pick him/her, put your controller down and watch the work be done for you. when i call a character broken, i don't mean someone who's never played the game can choose him/her and beat the world's best. a scrub morrigan losing to a haggar doesn't disprove anything i said about the matchup being 10-0.

Yeah, but saying that Morrigan/Doom 10-0's nearly everyone and nearly every combination in the game is also a bit far-fetched, Hax.

Firebrand has a lot of movement tools and an unblockable set-up on incoming characters, however; he only does small damage.So... How bout that firebrand?
And why aren't more people talking about how bs taskmaster is?
Taskmaster? Not really BS... I think his pressure game, frame trap, and his shield charge into that command throw are pretty good. I find it annoying that he can make shield charge so safe -_-. however, I think the character is under utilize. He is many tools and does a lot of damage but still isn't considered a top tier... why? Iono lol someone else can answer it. But its probably cause he has the same pattern of mix-ups so it is easy to block them.
I find it kind of funny how underused Taskmaster is in Ultimate considering how common he was in Vanilla and the fact that he basically didnt change at all in the sequel makes it odd that everyone just stopped using him.

How the heck does an unblockable setup work against aerial opponents? O.o
He's not broken, I don't think. He's just got really good supers.And why aren't more people talking about how bs taskmaster is?
On a not completely unrelated note: can anyone find the Skullgirls Grand Finals from Civil War 4? I can't, and I wanna see 'em. Bad.

You use a lockdown like Skrull's tenderizer
then you use his air unblockable swoop
and ToD EVERYONE
Only you cant ToD anyone. Because you're firebrand.

I don't think you're reading what I'm saying
either that or you've never heard of snapbacks

Pink, the set-up pretty much involves you doing a combo with Firebrand that leads into a snap-back so you can repeat the unblockable on the other characters. Rinse and repeat until all of the characters are dead.
It's pretty awesome but it's very hard to do.

I see, i didnt realize firebrand had snapback infinites lol.
FB is okay. With the ToD snapback loop he's got, he at least creates some danger. His issues is still damage as most times, landing a fireball or unblockable swoop is hard during mid-match. Only thing to give him slightly better damage while not losing much mobility is the ability to wall cling and immediately go straight into a fireball that leads into a free combo. It's just getting hit first...... >.<So... How bout that firebrand?

It also helps if you have Morrigan's or Ammy's meter building assist because the combo is meter negative (due to how Firebrand's low damage output).

Smash Hero
Can you get out of it with early-invinc supers like Hard Drive? If so, I wonder how many supers apply to that?
TL?
Smash Ace
You can get out with hard drive or morrigan level 3. If I remember right, those are the only two. I've heard that getting hit by the assist in this setup can mess with the setup a bit.
Budget Player Cadet_
Smash Hero
Now that just seems silly.
TL?
Smash Ace
It's not a true infinite without a meter assist since he doesnt build a full bar before the resnap. But he builds a decent amount back, so if executed correctly, it can loop for a while. I might be wrong on some of this stuff since the last time I looked into it was a while ago, so there may be some new tech involved in the setup. But you're right, it is silly.
VSC.D-Torr
Smash Hero
You could also get out of it with Phoenix's Inferno, but that's not a bad trade at all (unless you have no health with Firebrand and maybe Skrull, I'm not sure if he'll get hit by it) since she'll lose her precious meter.

Getting hit by the assist can be adjusted on on reaction.
You can also use other assists besides meter gaining to extend your combo and make it meter positive, I know Cold Star can do that at least.
Missiles properly timed also lock down on the incoming char, so you don't even need to use that free *** Skrull.

Skrull's pretty godlike though with his random *** gimmicks. Doom is a better overall character though so if someone could make it work consistently, it'll better for them.

It depends how you look at it.
I'd say Viper is far from as good on assist or anchor spot. Same for Wolvie.
Wesker on the other hand can take every spot and be useful.
Also Dante should be in top5 buuut I haven't played this game in forever and stuff
