PowerUp 2011 just passed recently and there were some great matches. SSF4, MK9, and MvC3 where all there. The first ever MK9 Major, as well as Justin Wong getting a Yellow Card from EVO Officials. Check the Grand Finals Replays from the Team Spooky Stream.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Singles Grand Finals Floe vs Noel Brown.

This match was a really good one, but a lot of people feel that it should have been Justin Wong vs Floe. Justin Wong was issued a Yellow Card from the EVO Officials for "Intentionally Playing Poorly". 2 Yellow Cards is the same as a Red Card which means you are DQ'd from the EVO World Championship in Las Vegas.

Check out the match below to see the controversial Justin Wong vs Noel Brown match.

@ Phresh

Wong is a really cool guy in person. But he is one Cocky SOB.

Shoutouts to Tom Brady's 10 minute shoutout stories, the stream was awesome.

About the Jwong thing, they punished some Brawl players for doing something similiar in a tournament couple of years ago.

As far as the MK9stream went, I was actually amused. It definately turned me onto the game a lot more, kinda sucks that every match was either Kung, Reptile or Ermac n' cheese. Was still fun with the limited variety.

JWong didn't want to play PR Rog so they flipped a coin to see who else in the winners he could play.
And his team changed the marvel losers match from 2/3 to 3/5

Flo's comeback was wicked. Dormammu is looking badass. That's how a final should look.

On the yellow card, the Pheonix throw away, and some shity Skrull, but I don't know about the call.

When you get down to SSF4 Wolfkrone is a smart player, and knows how to play the hell out of C. Viper. That was entertaining.

And MK all I can say is Cage sucks. Kung Lao is also one of my favorites from the past games, so I guess I'm biased. And Noob is looking good, might have to try him out for a while. Brady does have some wide variety skill.

Yea Dragon, all those Dormington comebacks (especially the ones without x factor), make the character look so fun! Big props to Floe. Also, Justin did really good even though he lost that Phoenix.

I think Justin was being stupid. He shouldn't have put Phoenix on point, and definitely shouldn't have chosen Super Skrull. I think he deserved the card. Had he been playing his actual team the whole time he probably could've won it.

The MK grand finals were amazing. I watched them during the stream, but I had to miss everything else.

Thanks for posting all the grand finals Cinderkin.
