Hero just won the Starcraft II tournament at Dreamhack, defeating Puma 4-3. It was an exciting Game 7. While I had spent most of the match recording times of attacks, I was asked to look at supply minute-by-minute.
For the very-exciting Game 7, this is what occured:
Hero had the supply lead at the start, as was the case in Game 6. But the tide shifted to Puma at the 5-minute mark. The supply lead went back and forth until the big battle at the 21st minute. In a span of 3 minutes, Puma lost 84 supply (193 to 109). Hero had lost just 63 supply (200 to 137). From there, it was all Hero. no comments

Before you check out the list, try to think about what you've seen in the past week. I've created my Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 database, and my goal isn't to break down everything that happens in a match; I'm going to save all of those minute details for Super Street Fighter IV.
Instead, my plan is to find THE best team and how it stacks up with possible counter teams. As we saw with regular Marvel vs. Capcom 3, the goal was to create a team that could either do best with Phoenix or a team that could counter Phoenix. Many people predicted that a Phoenix would make the finals of several major tournaments, so the idea was to either beat them or join them.
If you've seen the site Basketball Value, what they do over there is stack up on-court teams and players and find out how they have done against other on-court teams. That way, we can put values to players and see whether they are holding up their weight while playing.
So what you will see in this list is just the beginning of the statistical journey for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
In regard to this list, let's just keep in mind that it's been used in tournaments for just a week. Things will definitely change as the weeks pass. We've seen that with other games, and this will be no different.
I recorded the characters used in every match played in the following tournaments. Not every match was streamed, but I got all of them within the time frame that were streamed.
- Big Two (Top 8, 10 matches)
- Wednesday Night Fights Arcade Edition 3.3 (Top 8, 8 matches)
- Starbase 11/16 (Top 6, 6 matches)
- Thursday Night Throwdown: We Know Drama (Top 8, 11 matches)
- Cross Counter Open (Top 6, 9 matches including the second finals)
In total, there were 44 matches charted in this analysis.
And the winner is ...

For a moment in watching last night's Big Two SSF4 championship, I had a feeling that everyone was about to watch the improbable. Justin Wong had a 2-0 lead on Dieminion and was on game point.
Dieminion forced a Game 5 before losing to Justin Wong. The two played a second finals, and Dieminion took care of business 3-0.
Stats of both finals matches are available on the Fighting Game Stats database. Here's a couple things to note from both finals:
- The first-combo win percentage was .421 in both finals matches combined. Dieminion was 3 for 6, but Justin was 5 for 13. Both are bad in any format.
- Justin's big lead and eventual win in the finals was built on three comebacks. The only win he got in the second finals was a comeback. In total, his comeback rate was .286.
- Dieminion won again without needing too many combos. his combo rate was 1.421 per round. Justin's combo rate was 2.105.

There is no podcast today because my microphone apparently isn't synching with my computer. Because of that, I'll write down what I was going to mention on the podcast.
The stats of the Canada Cup team finals are now available on the Fighting Game Stats database. You'll notice that the ratio for both teams is opposite of the actual result. The USA won 1 more round than Team Japan, and that is correct. It is a rare occurence that happens in extended series. The last time I remember that happening was The Salty Runback, where Arturo Sanchez won 1 more round than Daigo Umehara, but Daigo ended up with the victory.
Mike Ross' stats were also unique. He was 3 for 6 in rounds played, and he won all 3 rounds with more than 50 percent health. no comments

- First-hit win percentage: .584 (4 points higher)
- First-combo win percentage: .524 (111 points lower)
- Combo rate: 1.858 per round (.128 lower)
- EX connection percentage: .436 (8 points higher)
- Closeout rate: .832 (6 points higher)

- Players against Dieminion: 22/44 (.500)
- All other matches: 16/33 (.484)

Our 100th Stats Series podcast is now available. Thanks to all of you that have listened over the past few months, and here's to many more podcasts.Today's podcast is about the Rise of the Web Warrior round robin finale between Steinmania and Demarcus. Steinmania was down to game point elimination before rallying back to win. But a lot of the win I thought was based on how Demarcus changed his approach in using EX meter.
Don't forget that you can subscribe to our podcast on iTunes and have them delivered to you automatically. Go here to do it (and leave us some props).
