watching apologyman make comebacks with anchor superskrull is how i found out about the FGC and fighting game tournaments back in the day. he's the goat
I remember seeing a video where Zak Bennett completely destroyed Apologyman with Firebrand, Doom, and Ammy. I wanna say after that, Apologyman decided he wanted to use Firebrand for sure
Firebrand was one of the characters I played doing arcade mode casually in this game. Never really got good at this game, but it's sweet to see one of my favorite boys get to shine in the big leagues.
Actually, Apologyman wasn't the one who invented the tech. It'd be nice if you mentioned Zak Bennett, who used Firebrand with Amaterasu for the same effect.
I appreciate your script this time around wasn't purely, "amazing this/amazing that" for descriptive commentary. Videos are improving every time :) also the sub fireball edit was nice. I liked that
Its always fun to see how ppl tackle the meta, I remember Spencer wasnt a top pick in vanilla mvc3 til someone rammed that BIONIC AAAAAAAAAARM into the most meta trio at the time
I was really hoping to see a video about this team. I don't even watch mvc, but i remember hearing about, and watching this crazy team with the unblockable set up.
Speaking of unblockables, I'd love to see a video about Angelic's Shuma-Gorath. The video was great, Apologyman deserves the highlight and Skrull is so damn cool.
The Marvel 3 designers: “One of the things that was really broken in Marvel 2 was the guardbreak unblockables. We should definitely fix those in the new system.” Also the Marvel 3 designers: “They were kinda dope, though!”
...dude, he was a staple of UMVC3...the hype was real...just watching a Firebrand player was a privilege...to win with the best, like Magnus, Doom, or Phoenix is easy...to win with Firebrand, or even Skrull, is god-like...
Man I've always wondered if a team I theory crafted years ago would actually work. I called it team "standing lows" Viper/Morrigan/Skrull. You'd get the meter build with Morrigan's assist and you would also have Skrull's lockdown so that Viper could charge her EX and make it unblockable. I think the biggest downside would be the execution of Viper which can be prettty tough. EDIT: I'd love to see a video on TA Frutsy, that dude was the first MODOK player to put him on the map.
I loved watching Apologyman during this time, I especially loved pointing out when he wore that one shirt at like almost every single tourney I thought that was the funniest thing ever. It was truly a different time
This dude is in my mind. He clearly has watched UMVC3 during its entirety. I grew up with it, too. Every video I think to myself "this guy knows his shit" .lmao
Fun story back in the day when he was only playing BlazBlue in SoCal at Super Arcade with us, the whole SoCal crew decided to go to Evo. During his bracket in BlazBlue he got eliminated because he got diarrhea that morning and didn’t show up in time. We called him Diarrhea Man for awhile in SoCal. Good times. Can’t remember the year but Xie ran the BlazBlue tourney at Evo at the time.
This wasn't apologyman's technic to begin with, theres a player who destroy him with the same setup, using amy and fir brand and doom. He just adapt it The video is on youtube
His characters weren't considered low tier lol. There was a UK Firebrand character whose name slips me at the moment, but he used Firebrand, Doom and Amaterasu
god bless you papa for making mahvel videos in 2023 especially the unique teams that i used to root for love the firebrand super skrull apologyman team
Firebrand is so godlike, yeah he got an unblockable but he also got easy push lock null, high lows, tick throws, like i think FChamp said, “He’s like Wolverine and Magneto combined.” Apologymans team is good but if I’m not mistaken actually isn’t a real 309% unlike Firebrand/Doom/Dante. Baba had it going but dropped it due to execution, imagine someone picking that team up.
Coming from Sajam's corner of the web, it's weird to hear Apologyman propaganda other than "It's Apologyman, it doesn't kill". Great job on breaking down why he was such a threat, albeit a few big flaws.
Just wanted to say your videos are well done and I'm loving the content you're producing. Videos are well written and explained for a FGC noob such as myself.
plz keep making more vids where you explain the mechanics of whats these execution gods are doing. i never could find out the niche of tac infinites till i seen your vids. if possible make one on magneto. thanks .
i remember hitting some nutty clip with firebrand years ago when i was just barely getting into UMVC3, he's not an amazing fighter but he's got some unique tactics
Ah, Vineeth...great at Marvel, not so much in cereal prep. I honestly liked his Frank West team a little better than his Firebrand team, but I can see why he switched. Those kidnap mixups were insane, and anchor Skrull was nothing to sneeze at either.
He had a broken team of Firebrand, Skrull and Frank. Prolly have that order messed up. He felt like the scummiest player so he stopped and replaced frank with Doom so ppl wouldn't talk shit to him and make him feel like shit. Never understood it since everyone at the top outside of Jwong use the best characters in the game. It annoyed me he caved in like a wet napkin but I get it. Ppl would quit on him. Guaranteed lvl 5 frank when u got touched
That’s not why It’s the doom Sphere flame that keep them locked in if a character had a air dash if skurll didn’t work for his assist alone and used meter Frank couldn’t do this but it was a extremely Scummy team yet frank is still a weakness
The only problem I have with this video is that this set ua-cam.com/video/wmBujlq_Pw0/v-deo.html is when he changed to firebrand doom he took it from zak bennet so I think Zak should be mentioned in some way
I'm not sure myself but I swear I remember watching a match with fchamp on commentary where he explains you can get out of the unlockable setup by push blocking frame one of tenderizer and immediately xfactoring. sounds hard and burns x but if that's really a thing it would be a dent in the gameplan. still such a cool team tho and the skrull comebacks were always entertaining too

Same here, how can you not get into the fgc after watching this man play like he does?

Yep..gave him ptsd to the point he had to become the ptsd. But respect to both.
@@spacecowboy9858 You must become your enemy to defeat your enemy
Bro, DON’T STOP uploading. These videos are so entertaining, I love that someone is finally making new MVC3 content.
You do know that Tampa Never Sleeps runs a UMvC3 weekly and uploads to UA-cam, right? Unbelievably Godlike Marvel being played by those guys.
@@Richterdgf yeah, but that’s a tournament, which is still very entertaining but I feel this is actual “Marvel content”. I do love TNS too though.
It isn't new
Most of these videos are from years ago he just covers them for the people who don't know
@@CheekSpread its NEW video's abt the history...
I love the recent boom of marvel content
Firebrand was one of the characters I played doing arcade mode casually in this game. Never really got good at this game, but it's sweet to see one of my favorite boys get to shine in the big leagues.
Learning his stuff in Infinite made me respect his addition even if he’s a swooping gremlin
Actually, Apologyman wasn't the one who invented the tech. It'd be nice if you mentioned Zak Bennett, who used Firebrand with Amaterasu for the same effect.
This right here
Yup, give Zak Bennett his credit!
bingo
People apparently started seeing this game in 2018 or something
didn't he switch teams after he lost to the ammy version at EVO?
I don't even play MvC, but I love fighting game metas. Great content.
I appreciate your script this time around wasn't purely, "amazing this/amazing that" for descriptive commentary. Videos are improving every time :) also the sub fireball edit was nice. I liked that
I mean he got bodied by Zach Bennett and picked up Firebrand because of it. It's not like out of no where said time to play a new team lol
Its always fun to see how ppl tackle the meta, I remember Spencer wasnt a top pick in vanilla mvc3 til someone rammed that BIONIC AAAAAAAAAARM into the most meta trio at the time
dude took a break from major tourneys then came back 6 months later and sweeped fchamp and the rest of the roster.
What a mad lad.
I was really hoping to see a video about this team. I don't even watch mvc, but i remember hearing about, and watching this crazy team with the unblockable set up.
Except we didn't get to see it in action a lot in the video, not doing the trick it's supposed to at least. That was pretty disappointing tbh
I LOVE this team, holy crap he made these three shine
You are some kind of UMvC3 chronicler, I like it. I never understood a lot of these vids, but the narrations help a lot. Thank you.
Speaking of unblockables, I'd love to see a video about Angelic's Shuma-Gorath. The video was great, Apologyman deserves the highlight and Skrull is so damn cool.
Beautifully done, Bro. I like the "weirdos" I was unstoppable in the Voldo days 😆 SC2
Superskrull was ApoligyMans best character won him so many matches. And also could’ve explained luminous body firebrand a lil more for the audience.
The Marvel 3 designers: “One of the things that was really broken in Marvel 2 was the guardbreak unblockables. We should definitely fix those in the new system.”
Also the Marvel 3 designers: “They were kinda dope, though!”
I knew firebrand's true power years back from Super Nintendo game Demon Quest.
His Super Skrull was the reason why I got so invested into Marvel 3.
Yeah, love His play style, it matches up with Super Skrull's arrogance
Anchor Skrull is such a derpy anchor. It never feels good to lose to an anchor skrull. Even the skrull players understand this lol.
I started watching Apologyman because I love Guilty Gear and I love seeing him play Faust. Seeing this video made me appreciate him even more. Cool!
youve become my favorite recent content creator for marvel stuff. such well done and digestible explanations.
no matter the game their in, Red arremers alway succeed in causing a headache
Nice! I requested to see an Apologyman video and this is great. Amazing. THanks!
Watching Apologyman and Marlinpie back in the day was a thrill
Love players like Apologyman and iHeartJustice.
...dude, he was a staple of UMVC3...the hype was real...just watching a Firebrand player was a privilege...to win with the best, like Magnus, Doom, or Phoenix is easy...to win with Firebrand, or even Skrull, is god-like...
these are so high quality compared to most other FGC videos
Seeing Zero and Vergil get bodied always fills me with joy

Your content is refreshing bro. I remember watching every tournament live and these videos just make me feel a special type of joy
I loved watching Apologyman during this time, I especially loved pointing out when he wore that one shirt at like almost every single tourney I thought that was the funniest thing ever. It was truly a different time
I lost my mind watching skrull do that oh my god. Subbed bro subbed
The nostalgia hit me when i saw myself in the crowd at SCR lol when apology man won. I forgot i was there
Apologyman didn't had to apologized for the comeback.
How to nerf apologyman: make him sit in the player 2 seat
Well now with UMVC3 in Evo 2023 there's a good chance ApologyMan amongst others will be seen again there
This team was so dirty but man it was so satisfying to watch it work. Great vid.
It's Mahvel baby! Cheap tactics are king but compared other teams like Morridoom and Zero May Cry, it wasn't that bad.
This man wasn't in the lab, he was in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
just curious where does your mvc knowledge from, so in depth, were you in the scene?
Yeah! I played and traveled from 2012-2016 or so. A lot of it is remembering my favorite sets and then deep diving into teams to figure them out
Didn't know about Apology Man's marvel days. I just knew him as Faust
Really hoping Vineeth is grinding Marvel 3 again with its return to Evo this year.
This dude is in my mind. He clearly has watched UMVC3 during its entirety. I grew up with it, too. Every video I think to myself "this guy knows his shit" .lmao
apologymans only weakness was sitting at the player 2 side LOL
This was an awesome video. I love the huge step up in the editing on this one - better and better every time PapaLob. Great work!
Apologyman's EVO matches made me anchor Super Skrull. Great admiration to him from Colombia!
Firebrand is so good I put him in a team with Zero and Hawk eye and he can cook good
Fun story back in the day when he was only playing BlazBlue in SoCal at Super Arcade with us, the whole SoCal crew decided to go to Evo.

I’ve met Apologyman such a nice guy who wants to play a one player game
One of my fav players I tried this team but I couldn’t master FB but he is the reason I picked up a skrull
His characters weren't considered low tier lol. There was a UK Firebrand character whose name slips me at the moment, but he used Firebrand, Doom and Amaterasu
It was zak Bennett
@@Allothersweretakenn thanks. I played him in a local; that's how I found out Firebrand had an unblockable
I wonder if we'll see Apologyman Firebrand at Evo 2023 👀
yo, factor sponsorship! congrats!
I wish I knew where he got the inspiration to name himself Apologyman
god bless you papa for making mahvel videos in 2023 especially the unique teams that i used to root for
love the firebrand super skrull apologyman team
Firebrand is so godlike, yeah he got an unblockable but he also got easy push lock null, high lows, tick throws, like i think FChamp said, “He’s like Wolverine and Magneto combined.” Apologymans team is good but if I’m not mistaken actually isn’t a real 309% unlike Firebrand/Doom/Dante. Baba had it going but dropped it due to execution, imagine someone picking that team up.
LOVING your content, man. Your edits are CLEAN
I used to face this all the time when I was really into UMVC3, but only now am I learning how truly jank it can be with unblockable set ups.
Great video Lobster. I always wondered how apology man’s team worked. Good stuff! I also like the new graphics during the video.
Coming from Sajam's corner of the web, it's weird to hear Apologyman propaganda other than "It's Apologyman, it doesn't kill". Great job on breaking down why he was such a threat, albeit a few big flaws.
my favorite players are KBR, FCHAMP, RyanLV, Apologyman, Justin Wong, and Chris G. 😁
I simply see new papa lob content and immediately like and play thanks for all the great content
Just wanted to say your videos are well done and I'm loving the content you're producing. Videos are well written and explained for a FGC noob such as myself.
Loving the marvel content! Keep bringing us back to these great moments, Papa Lob!!!
Homie got a sponsor! I remember when you only have a few hundred subs. Congratulations and keep doing your thing!
Another great vid. I really miss these days
we need more coverage on the umvc3 golden days fr fr subbed :)
I’m the guy in green standing on the chair behind flux/RF popping off with a evo fan for those pools matches lmaooooo 😂 MARVEL IS BACK BABY
LOOOOOOL some of my favorite moments are random pools matches and everyone getting hype
Flux, an incredibly strong Zero player??
Good vids man. I hope you get the growth you deserve.
Is that RF guy the same RF faust player from strive?
Ive always said skrull was insane
Thanks for the break down. Apology man is a lab monster.
plz keep making more vids where you explain the mechanics of whats these execution gods are doing. i never could find out the niche of tac infinites till i seen your vids. if possible make one on magneto. thanks .
i remember hitting some nutty clip with firebrand years ago when i was just barely getting into UMVC3, he's not an amazing fighter but he's got some unique tactics

This was such a awesome moment in MVC history ✨️
Ah, Vineeth...great at Marvel, not so much in cereal prep.
I honestly liked his Frank West team a little better than his Firebrand team, but I can see why he switched. Those kidnap mixups were insane, and anchor Skrull was nothing to sneeze at either.
Congrats on the Factor endorsement
Hey dude. Gratz on the sponsor you’ve been making solid content lately
Oooh I watched that entire sponsor spot. Big ups my dude
He had a broken team of Firebrand, Skrull and Frank. Prolly have that order messed up. He felt like the scummiest player so he stopped and replaced frank with Doom so ppl wouldn't talk shit to him and make him feel like shit. Never understood it since everyone at the top outside of Jwong use the best characters in the game. It annoyed me he caved in like a wet napkin but I get it. Ppl would quit on him. Guaranteed lvl 5 frank when u got touched
That’s not why
It’s the doom Sphere flame that keep them locked in if a character had a air dash if skurll didn’t work for his assist alone and used meter
Frank couldn’t do this but it was a extremely
Scummy team yet frank is still a weakness
Man I'm waiting for you to cover philipino champ vs nemo and Chris G in the hotel suite!!!!! Although I can't find the f.champ video.
😈
@PapaLobster ur already working on it aren't cha lol
Great video as always!
Seeing you sliding across your kitchen was amazing
This did not go as I expected but I still enjoyed the story!
You stated that people considered some of his characters low tier but his worst character, Skrull, was considered mid.
This video better not be cracked!
The video:
and now he's working on 2XKO lets goooo
The only problem I have with this video is that this set ua-cam.com/video/wmBujlq_Pw0/v-deo.html is when he changed to firebrand doom he took it from zak bennet so I think Zak should be mentioned in some way
Sick content.
Subbed
One of my favorite marvel 3 players for sure.
somehow when I saw the sponsor, I head immediately pop out "X-FACTOR!!"

If FChamp pats your back, you know you've done well. Lol.
You're excellent at illustrating a players narrative, strategy and execution. Keep up the hard work and you'll find success 🙌
Bro was allergic to shaking opponents hands after a match if he won
Would love to see Balas KOF13 runs
