Marvel vs Capcom 3

[Icarus Moonsight]

Was watching some Doom assist Hidden Missiles and Zero cross-up/rush/projectile shenanigans. Looks my speed... Also Magneto lvl3 Grav-Crush Super... Wow! Zero/Magneto/Doom is going to get some trial play from me. Other team I'm working with is my All-Capcom fun squad: Trish/Dante/Ammy

Event Mode came out, and although it's nothing spectacular, it gives you some decent challenges for arcade mode and online play. For example, some are

- Win X amount of XBL matches in a row (I believe there are like 5 different challenges like this, with X being 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10)
- Finish Arcade mode with a diminishing vitality bar
- Finish Arcade mode with Team Aerial combos only doing damage

I wish the matches in a row challenges stacked, but I guess that makes it more difficult. Also, I had 9 wins a row last night, and the 10th person I faced ragequit on me Then unfortunately I lost the next match. Ragequits should count as wins

[G-Boobie]

Ragequits should count as wins

Absolutely.

They did in MvC2 on XBL. Odd change.

At MGC this past weekend, I got my first experience playing someone live at MGC. Some random guy playing Wolverine/Akuma/Dante. He knew what he was doing somewhat, as he managed to pull off some nice patented MvC3 neverending combos. Went 5-2 with Haggar/Skrull/Sent. Pretty clear the health nerf was pointless as squeaked out 2 of those 5 wins with XFC Sent alone. I could tell he was annoyed I was playing Sent, but I have found no better assist to help Haggar close the gap.

The timing between online lag and headsup versus didn't throw me off too badly.

Good job man!

Don't beat yourself up for being a Sentinel player: a win is a win, and if you're struggling with that low tier mentality, let me put it to rest by saying that I honestly think Sent is high mid-tier at best. People just don't know how to deal with him right now.

I play Urien in Third Strike, and I was getting real life rage quits during a gaming party a friend of mine threw last year because I kept getting the corner unblockable off. One guy turned to me and said, "Jesus, this guy is banned in tournaments, right?" If he played the game a little better, he'd have known what to do and I'd have had a much harder time.

So basically who cares if the guy was annoyed. He shouldn't be annoyed anyway if he was playing Team Rushdown Moron anyway. I'd rather deal with three Sentinels than Wolvie/Dante/Akuma any day.

[Famidrive-16]

I lost to a lvl3 XFC Sentinel at the last tourny I played at and even I would rather fight against Sent than Dormammu or Ammy.

[Nirvana]

I can't stand facing Ammy. Felicia's Bnb combo doesn't work on her, so I always have to be real precise about what I do to the damn dog.

I've kinda hit a wall with my team, but I don't want to give up just yet on it. It's hard getting around teams solely based on keepaway, like those Wesker/Doom/Sentinel teams that literally run away the whole game. So many things to dodge...hidden missiles and drones, all while trying to pay attention to the gun shot and where Wesker is going to teleport at. I've faced different variations of this type of team in ranked, throwing in Haggar or Dormammu in the mix just for the Lariat assist or Dormammu's ability to keep away. I think my fundamentals just need to get better.

However, I have been experimenting different teams as of late. I want to make a team based around Trish, because I really love her options. She's able to rushdown and keepaway, and I think she's good whether she's on point or even anchoring. I'll probably team her up with Dormammu because he makes an excellent partner for her.

[portnoyd]

I have to say... I really do not like this game much. They took 2 and ruined it. XFC is game-breaking, to say the least.

Wesker's gun shot is total bullshit. How the hell does it stuff all 3 Sent drones from the assist?

[Nirvana]

I'm not too big of a fan of Wesker at all. Him and Taskmaster are two of my least favorite characters to fight. Block a gunshot, look for where he teleports so you can block accordingly. Really lame, especially when he's in X-Factor and it's super fast. Taskmaster is annoying because it just seems like whenever a character DHC's into his arrow hyper, it does a shit ton of damage

Ah well. I'm mostly using my Felicia/Wolverine/Dr.Doom team, but I'm really experimenting with The Avengers (Captain America/Iron Man/Thor). Captain America is definitely a character that isn't too effective fighting by himself, making him the best option to start out with. I absolutely love using Iron Man and Thor though. Their abilities to triangle jump makes moving around and doing high/low mixups a breeze. Not to mention, Thor's damage output is hilariously huge. I need to get my combos down with Iron Man though. Not being able to capitalize on launchers with him kills me. Sometimes I even forget he has a double jump.

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.

While I was thinking they were going to go Super, still, we all knew it was going to happen.

[Trumpman]

Glad I waited for the inevitable upgrade. I'll probably pick this one up.

[portnoyd]

Fuck that. I play 2 more than I do 3. 3 is a complete turd. They ruined it with the inane amount of OTG and ground bounces.

MvC is better than MvC2.

[Kitsune Sniper]

.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Wow.

It's like nobody ever learns. Capcom's pulled this shit for over a decade, and we still fall for it every time.

[Jorpho]

NEEDS PHOENIX WRoh never mind.

[Famidrive-16]

MvC is better than MvC2.

n....no....!

[portnoyd]

MvC is better than MvC2.

Trolololololololol.

This is my favorite video on why MvC3 is total shit. 100%, no assist, no XFC, no DHC combos. Broken.

The fact it took all 5 levels in the corner doesn't factor in? Seriously though compared to pretty much every other marvel vs. game mvc3 is pretty good on not being full of bullshit. The only exception may be marvel vs. street fighter, wherein only Wolverine had bullshit (easy ass infinite) and everyone else sucked.

[portnoyd]

Try and do that in 2 with anyone who isn't Cable. :P

3 isn't full of bullshit because most every character is damn near the same.

With the same amount of effort as that combo took I could set up the Iron Man infinite, or the Ken infinite, Sentinel or Juggernaut 100% combos, or just run the hell away with Storm and throw out hailstorms to chip you to death.

The cast of 3 is no more the same than any other fighter. Just because they simplified the launcher doesn't mean that everyone is now the same. Try playing MODOK like you'd play Hulk, or Deadpool like you'd play Viper.
