If they applied both hit stun decay and damage decay... my god, we could have a reasonable Vs. game for the first time ever.
... nah, what fun is that.
The netcode on this game, or the necessary ping, either or, is pretty brutal. My wireless outright kicks me off XBL after 3-4 matches. With 2 on XBL, that never happened. While the netcode is different from 2, I think it's really an issue of 3 pushing the requirements of ping to the maximum.
So now I'll be wiring my living room. :P

After watching some matches, I like the look of Deadpool too. Amaterasu and Joe... Either who I saw playing them were awful or those two just lost a lot of appeal with me.
Stun decay sounds great. Anything to curb the ultra-cheese. Gotta leave some though, for that blue shell wildcard effect.

Ammy is fucking annoying. Half of its moves are not by the wolf itself, so it's all magic effects that can easily blend in with all the sparks and splashes everyone else's moves make on impact.
Heh... I was playing Ammy in the demo sessions held here in the UK (on the limited roster) and I liked him... bit low health but start with him and get your other team mates on the assists and... confusion can reign. I was beating some decent MvC2 players at the demo groups using Ammy, Dante and Wolverine. Whether I buy the full game is another matter now heh...
Hell yes.
He's an easy character for a novice button masher to pick up and frustrate the shit out of somebody who knows what they're doing.
He does very decent damage and can keep a player tied up in a string of bullshit ... and then throw his hyper combo which fills the entire screen with all sorts of crap.
So frustrating.

also if you want a combo that really gets people salty, play zero + sentinel charge drones.... omg
And don't bring up that stupid girlie Aladdin rip off! Shantea?
Christ, even with the matchmaking system I'm already running into obvious tournament-level master players online with "rookie/beginner" stat labels.

A lot of high level players are still practicing in Player Matches until they get the characters down and not touching Ranked yet. As it is, most people haven't settled on a business team yet. Also, a lot of players are using Sentinel as a crutch, and when he pops KFC, things get crispy fast.
I'm the same way. It'll be a solid month before I step into ranked, so I will be a beginner for that whole time.
I would be playing more ranked if I could get some damn games. Netcode sucks. Notice a great deal of scrubs online I have yet to lose if you can believe that (played about 30 games between player and ranked).
I'm using Wesker, Super Skrull and Sentinel right now and I think I'm going to main this team. Anyone wanna play my gamertag is ThatKidPoret.

Best way to get ranked matches is to turn on fight request in Training Mode. That's pretty much the only way I've found matches.
I heard setting language to English makes it easier but it hasn't changed much for me.

I believe it. With the game just coming out, anyone and everyone is playing online. Good and bad... and very bad. I generally win myself (just doing player aside from 2 ranked matches this morning on a whim). It's not hard to come back with KFC.
So we've had the game for a couple of weeks, and I'm torn about how I feel about MvC3. On one hand, it's pretty fun to play with friends casually. On the other hand, it's not fun at all to play competitively.
I really, REALLY hate level 3 X-Factor. I'm discovering that any kind of "comeback mechanic" in fighting games bothers me, and X-Factor is the absolute definition of that idea. I took third place at a local tourney this last weekend, and the entire event was more tense and frustrating than I've ever experienced. It's just not fun to have two characters die from chip damage for no good fucking reason. Every single game. Now if I see a Sentinel, it forces me to go to Hulk/Dante/Morrigan, which works, but isn't much fun for me.
So yeah. Unless it gets patched, I think I'm gonna stick to SSFIV, 3S and Melty "for serious" and play MvC3 with the girlfriend and such. The gulf between casual play and competitive play is gonna be HUGE in this game, I think. You get plenty of mid-level players in most other games, but this one is going to have two types of players in the end: God level players who cannot be touched at all, and guys on a couch playing with their friends, who may not even know all the systems in the game. I'd rather be the latter in this case.

KFC is way overpowered indeed. The game definitely could have done without it or at the very least the damage scaling as you lose fighters.
What really annoys me is phoenix and her dark phoenix form. All you have to do is have level 5 hyper and when she dies she becomes dark phoenix. This is like having 4 characters instead of 3 if you pull this off.
Yes, but both Phoenix and Dark Phoenix have the lowest health in the game. You can kill her with a single super most of the time.
Snapback Phoenix.
No you
U GAIZ JUST DONT LIKE CHANGE , (builds a artificial foundation here)
Or rather, snapback the other characters until you get to Phoenix, and kill her to death. What I've been doing is driving the other player into the corner, snapback, then activating Morrigan shadow hyper thing, and crossing phoenix up as she comes in. For added confusion, call in assist of choice at the same time. It's hard to block, and if you get her into one single combo into hyper, it usually kills her. All this assumes the opponent doesn't have 5 bars.
The alternative is running away when she activates, maybe triggering X factor to increase survivability.
Err, that's what I meant. No, really. I forgot to put the word in at the end. Derp.
But yeah, best case you kill her outright, better case is you do some immense chip (setting up the need for a second snapback to remove the red) or good case, they tag back in their point character, giving you an opportunity to punish (and snap Ph back in).
Kfc versus Dark Phoenix is almost necessary to regen the crazy amount of chip she's going to drop on you.
Point is, never let your opponent hit 5 bars before Phoenix is dead. I will be surprised if Phoenix becomes part of high level play because smart players will always end a combo with a snap.
your mom ends a combo with a snap
