non sequiturs. MAHVEL (BAYBEE) has gone on to become a Fan Nickname for the series. Shout out those words at a convention, and someone will reply back in the same way.]]
OH HE SO PRINGLES, WHERE YO CURLEH' MUSTACHE AT?Explanation
"Pringles" either refers to when someone performs a long blockstring, resulting in a lot of chip damage, or when a character gets launched into the air by Magneto because "once you pop (get launched) you can't stop (being comboed)".
Now an Ascended Meme: Capcom's Seth Killian and Ryota Niitsuma confirmed in interviews/Q&A sessions that, in MvC3, Magneto is "still Pringles".
A Call Back to earlier in the video, where DAT MANGO SENTINEL makes Yipes think of the New York Knicks. Yipes is seen beating that same Sent with Magneto at the end of the video.
SCOOPS! SCOOPS! HÃAGEN-DAZS!Explanation
Throws are known as scoops. Haagen-Dazs is a brand of ice cream.
MAKE IT RAIN!Explanation
Storm, another one of the Four Gods, using her Ice Storm hyper.
Yipes is getting kicked/big booted by Sentinel. Sicily is located right in front of the boot-shaped Italy. The comparison isn't lost on Yipes.
CHA CHA DESMOND!Explanation
When Sentinel is in flight mode and spamming kicks, he looks like he's dancing.
This list is 90%. Welcome to USA, nigga! Explanation
This one is somewhat self-explanatory. A combo that takes off 90% of your health once you're caught in it. Combos like these (or worse) are par the course in upper-level (tournament) play.
Spidey's had a few minor memes since Marvel Super Heroes such as "One for J.J.!" and "Do your job!" (or alternatively, "DO YOUR GODDAMN JOB!"), but the moment it was revealed in MvC3 that he calls MAG-FUCKIN-NETOhimself "Maggy!" when tagging out, the fans went running with it.
Arthur and his "Ah, a knight from a foreign land... Huzzah!" (used against Iron Man or Doctor Doom). From that point forward, "Huzzah!" becomes Arthur's Catch Phrase. Perhaps this caught on as when he beats Firebrand in Ultimate, he starts by saying "Huzzah!"
"Too much RAM." Explanation
A common response on forums as to why characters are being disconfirmed, based off of the reason that The Human Torch
Another "reason" behind GR not being in MvC3; allegedly, they couldn't implement him into the game without him being on his motorcycle at all times. Appropriately, most fans called BS. As said above, this seems to have been rectified with Ghosty's appearance in Ultimate.
If YouTube is any indication, Thor's "MIGHTY (verb)" has become a meme.
Mission Mode in 3 gives us Le-Le-Le-MAXIMUM!!!Explanation
In Mission Mode, your character's super bar immediately begins to fill up to maximum, but it charges faster than the announcer can say "Level 2!", "Level 3!", etc., resulting in the aforementioned quote.
After the announcement of Sentinel, we also have: TEN MORE YEARS!!!Explanation
Helped by Sent's trailer, which showed him alongside Storm and Magneto, referencing the ten years of the competitive scene and their kingdom as three of the "Four Gods
." Came to be spoken mostly in irony after Ultimate was both announced and released in the very same year.]]
Phoenix's unprecedentedly low health has also been the target of many jokes, thanks to the aforementioned fiasco with Hulk, to the point that anything can allegedly KO her. Here's a notable one:
Thanks to this incident, Combofiend is respectively referred to as "The Man with the Bionic Plan" and "ComeBACKfiend". Marn gets... "Bionic MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRNNNNN!!!"
There's also some fans trying to compare this move with the ever-awesome FALCONPAWNCH!!!
OffTheGround) right as Combofiend's Spencer is about to pull off his final Bionic Lancer hyper and win the match. Has a memetic Mondegreen, the aptly-fitting EXCUSE ME!]]
How can he lose? He's got a Bionic AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRMM!!! Explanation
using most of Spencer's quotes from the game. The above quote is a rewording of his intro quote when up against Iron Man ("How much of that suit is bionic?"). Sometimes, the quote just takes the form of "How much of this X is bionic?", which usually goes hand-in-hand with the Combofiend match.]]
his Power of the Creator and Power of the Destructor specials and how many times he used them (any combination of the two, can be used a maximum of three times before Liberation is automatically activated). Both of these moves chain quickly, meaning they can be canceled out by themselves or each other, leading to the above. Now available inStupid Statement Dance Mix form.]]
Mondegreen for Ryu's Hadouken in a thread. The community pretty much ran away with it, the topic went on to become a 500 post-long topic charting an inordinate amount of Mondegreens in fighters. Also produced Shampoo Aruket (i.e. Shinkuu Hadouken).]]
Ryu's Ren Hadouken move in Ultimate, basically a spammable, short-ranged version of his normal Hadouken. It makes said peculiar sound whenever said move is spammed.
Wesker's "Mortals are so YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME!" Explanation
What Wesker says during his Phantom Dance hyper. The full line is "Mortals are so weak! You are nothing to me!", but the first part gets cut off before he can finish it.
Or alternatively, Mondegreen'd to "Mortals will soon... WORTH NOTHING TO ME!!" Explanation
Since the 'weak' part are usually cut off unless the match lagged a little, since Wesker said it in quite a quick speed, it can be interpreted like that and still make sense, especially if you consider Wesker's disdain on normal mortals and his desire to get out from being one and become immortal.
Wesker's Phantom Dance Hyper Combo is alternatively known as the "Maximum Wesker." Explanation
Due to the Phantom Dance's simularities to Spider-Man's Maximum Spider Hyper Combo.
"The one who actually committed the crime, was you! No alibi, no justice, no dream, no hope! It's time to face for your crimes, TAKE THIS!" K.O. Explanation
Phoenix Wright's Badass Boast when he performs his Level 3 Hyper Combo.
Vergil's lines are rapidly growing popular. Because you must know that he's motivated, and that you absolutely must not get cocky. Explanation
An intentional Mondegreen of "Might controls everything." (an iconic
line of Vergil's from DMC3 after your first battle with him).]]
Nova has COSMIC SWAG. He is also capslock personified. Explanation
Nova, a Cosmic character from the Marvel side and Marvel's answer to Green Lantern, has a very catchy theme. He also has a tendency to out-ham just about everyone in battle because he has NO INDOOR VOICE. Like, all the time.
In Maximilian's videos for MvC3, the storylines involve Doom being his lancer. Basically, one of his catch phrases involves yelling "THE FINGER LASERS" when using his Photon Shot special or his Photon Array hyper.
He's playing Ikaruga with Morrigan! She's a difficult boss! Explanation
And because of how popular Morrigan's becoming in the competitive scene, due in part to her Astral Vision super, she's been known to throwing "Troll" Fists.
In the vein of the legendary Marn vs. Combofiend match (see above), AG MarlinPie vs AlukardNY from Curleh Mustache 2 seems to be well on its way to memetic status, thanks in part (once again) to the commentary magic of Yipes (Chris Matrix gets in more than a few memorable one-liners of his own, though).
-esque fashion, Howtoread manages to work a tag-in into his combo four times in a row without missing a beat, much to the consternation of the commentators.]]
IIINNNFFEERRNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!Explanation
Ever since Alukard popped into the tournament scene and began beasting with Super Skrull, the crowds were cheering this whenever the super was used. Now, in any tournament, if there's a Skrull player using Inferno, you'll probably find at least a small crowd of people screaming this.
"Wow, they came out with a sneaky surprise attack at the start of the round!"
"Now that's what I like to call BIG DAMAGE!" Explanation
Usually announced after a super, custom combo, or long string of damaging attacks.
"Finest KO!" Explanation
Announced after the player either counters a super with a special, counters a special with a Level 3 super, counters a super with another super, or uses a Level 3 to K.O. a taunting opponent.
During the footage of the game shown at Comic Con, Ryu
called Chun-Li as support. In response, one random Tekken fan yelled this out (it turns out that—at the time of that debut—Nina was Kazuya's partner; Heihachi was later confirmed as playable, but with Kuma as his partner).]]
mistaking the lyrics "Gotta go! Gotta go!" of Street Drum Corps' "Knock Me Down" for "Daigo! Daigo!" (as in Daigo "THE BEAST" Umehara, the man responsible for EVOMoment#37).]]
