Speculation? No, not really. You saw what Yipes did, he was going to ban the glitch on the spot, but Chris G let it go because he was feeling himself. But of course, it didn't freeze the match at that point. I guarantee that if Yoshi had frozen the game while Chris had the life lead, he would've told Yipes, "Yeah, fuck that glitch, ban it" etc. Dealing with the glitch at tournaments would require making tiresome judgment calls.
What if, for example (and now here's speculation), someone was trying to get the most out of Quicksilver, and accidentally froze the game before they could end it? They were just playing the game and trying to win. Exactly why would you punish someone for that? It all comes down to circumstance (which a lot of variables go into) and saying "Yes" or "No." Now imagine having to deal with all the Dante players at a large tournament, and probably having to hover like hawks over them to see the circumstances under which the glitch was performed, and if it crashed the game, what was happening during that time? Not to mention the human factor of players getting irritated, and the waste of time it would be to have to reboot the console, go back in and play the match.
And let me ask you this: If you were going to stop anyway way before the glitch froze the game, exactly what is the point of doing it? You only get a few reps, which is what, like 10% of their health on chip, and like half a meter? Now you've just wasted 0.5-1.5 meters. No point in doing it then. And Yoshi said alpha counters just lead to the next character coming in and dying too, long as you do it right. Unless the opponent is running a team full of characters that can properly counter it (Which let's be honest, those characters may not have the best synergy ever), I don't see how that's effective enough to deal with the glitch, let alone deal with everything else Dante is doing in addition to that glitch. Jill vs. Dante is pretty....yikes.
And sorry, talking about DHC glitch is a waste of my time. It's already confirmed that it's been removed, so again, moot point. Quicksilver's status in UMvC3 is still up in the air, hence why I am talking about it. If Capcom were to say today, "Yes, Quicksilver glitch is out of UMvC3" I would have no problem closing the book on this matter. 17 more days...
I agree, btw, that online play does not matter. By locals, do you mean local tournaments? I still wouldn't use it, if I'm being honest. If everyone in the tournament is that ignorant as to how this game works and what the current big issues are, then they obviously don't have a clue, and you should be beating them regardless of whether or not the glitch is in play. For local casuals, I see those as preparation for tournaments, so I wouldn't use anything there that I wouldn't use in tournament (Which is where the glitch is banned). Sure, I might take more risks than usual in casuals and try out new stuff, but doing banned glitches? Nope.
In regards to this:
And no no no, you can't try and talk strats about it because there are ways around Phoenix? There are ways around Quicksilver and DHC. DHC is DONT GET HIT, Quicksilver is stay in the air and don't get hit. It's oh so simple just like getting rid of Phoenix is because snapping her in works 100% of the time. Team Supers ALWAYS work. Pkease
-3-4 bars, Viper/Ammy. 1 Viper on point. snap in Phoenix, team Super, XF Viper, Focus Attack. Works 100% of the time. MarlinPie did it during Good vs. Evil, and Yipes straight up confirmed that Phoenix cannot do anything about it.
-1 bar, Viper/Ammy, Viper on point, Ammy Cold Star assist. Snap in Phoenix, Cold Star, Focus Attack, Dead Phoenix. Only way for her to get out is to spend a bar on her hyper, but why would she do that? She wouldn't be able to turn into Dark Phoenix at that point.
-1 bar, Viper/Dante, Viper on point. Snap in Phoenix, Jam Session, Focus Attack, Dead Phoenix. Same defense as above.
-4 bars, X-23. Snap in Phoenix, Dirt Nap hyper. Works 100% of the time. Phoenix cannot do anything about it, Justin Wong has tested this.
You should know these three already: Spiderman Ultimate Web Throw, Skrull Command Grab setup., She-Hulk Command Grab Hyper setup. Not to mention all the characters that clearly counter Phoenix in this game, such as Dorm, Dante, Wesker, Magneto, or Viper.
There's probably a lot more tech that I'm missing too. Point is that there is a lot you seem to be missing in regards to dealing with Phoenix, who is not a glitch, nor in the same league as a glitch, but simply a very powerful character. Mind you, I also don't see Phoenix as that big of a deal, and consider her #4 in the game at best, so go figure that I see her and this glitch as being wholly different things.
