Runnin' Sets Ep. 17 COMBOFIEND vs. NOEL BROWN - MvC3

Combofiend hosts Noel Brown in this first-to-five Marvel vs. Capcom 3 set recorded at the Comboratory, with pride and bragging rights on the line. Shot in Combofiend's own space following Roscoe's Jerky Arcade, this match captures the intensity of East Coast versus West Coast competition at a pivotal moment in the MvC3 scene. Both players field heavy-hitting rosters built around Iron Man, Phoenix, and Ryu—characters that defined aggressive, high-damage team synergy in the game. The video showcases the kind of close, momentum-swinging exchanges that made these regional rivalries legendary, with each round hinging on resource management, team order strategy, and calculated aggression. This is raw competitive play from the early 2010s fighting game community, before online ranked became the default and before most tournaments shifted to newer entries in the series.
