Marvel vs Capcom 3 - ULTIMATE Rip-Off

[RoXer]

fuck them

[alvarado52]

because DP is a cheap tactic

[RoXer]

fuck you too

[alvarado52]

majority cant be wrong. Its like they said, you fuck up the first two players because you play well, but then your whole team gets shafted because DP was tucked away on your team not earning a single slice of the bar.

[Kalyx triaD]

Dante owns D.Phoenix with rain storm. Fuck her and her fire feathers.

[RoXer]

I can't use one meter though. MAYBE one but that's rare and it depends on the situation.

Also, it's difficult to win when you just sit there and do nothing ALVARADO

[Ermaximus]

Tranny M.O.D.O.K.

[Kalyx triaD]

Teleport, proxy-trap, feather barrage = GAY

[alvarado52]

are you kidding me? Akuma spin kicking, proton beam/super jump and rain down laser blasts, DP, and youre complaining about how I play?

[Ermaximus]

Teleport, proxy-trap, feather barrage = GAY

Not nearly as gay as Wesker.

[RoXer]

No. I'm complaining about your complaining.

If you want to sit in a corner and block the whole match that's fine. Just don't whine when I win by simply attacking you.

[RoXer]

IF YOU WANNA GO LETS GO

[alvarado52]

u Mad?

[RoXer]

Akuma spin kicking, proton beam/super jump and rain down laser blasts?

Those are called attacks. You perform them by pressing buttons on the controller. Each character has unique attacks. You should give it a try.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not nearly as gay as Wesker.

Can't even take this seriously.

Wesker can't air dash.
Can't even double jump.
Teleport is slower than I want it to be, doesn't have tracking teleports.

[alvarado52]

Those are called attacks. You perform them by pressing buttons on the controller. Each character has unique attacks. You should give it a try.

lol. And even though youre a cheap bitch, i stick around and play. No rage quitting here unlike YOU Mr. Cant finish a game of 2k

[Ermaximus]

I love when you're angry bro.:naughty:

[RoXer]

lol. And even though youre a cheap bitch, i stick around and play. No rage quitting here unlike YOU Mr. Cant finish a game of 2k

I ragequit from 2K mostly because I'm frustrated with the latencey issues. Rarely because I'm losing. Or if the greatest passer in the history of basketball can't make a simple fucking bounce pass. Or if the fucking

you know what, don't get me started on that shit.

Cheap bitch? Attacking you is cheap now? I'm supposed to cower in the corner like you now? Are we gunna have a block-o-thon match?

[RoXer]

I love how when you were spamming unibeams from your corner it wasn't cheating but when I finally found Dr. Doom's plasma beam to counter that then I'm being a cheap bitch.

:kiss:

[Kalyx triaD]

I love when you're angry bro.:naughty:

I'll kick your ass, indian.

[Ermaximus]

I'll kick your ass, indian.

Pilgrim call down fire water. Chief Hyper Combo take you to school.

[alvarado52]

I love how when you were spamming unibeams from your corner it wasn't cheating but when I finally found Dr. Doom's plasma beam to counter that then I'm being a cheap bitch.

:kiss:

Keep telling yourself that. And keep DP on your third spot because you're doodoo otherwise.

[Kalyx triaD]

Snap the bitch in and spam beam hyper. Do it.

[RoXer]

Keep telling yourself that. And keep DP on your third spot because you're doodoo otherwise.

Get outta here, I beat you a bunch with my other teams last time. What was it? 13-3? Or 14-3?

[RoXer]

YOU WANNA GO???

Although he may not play your characters, get a whiff of this series. He's pretty much one of the few high level players who doesn't come off as an asshole. He has some Blops vids too if that's any interest to some of you.

[Funky Fly]

lol @ Roxer playing against my hungover friend on monday. I was in the shower trying not to throw up.

[Kalyx triaD]

Had a quick session with my bro. He's taking Shuma seriously now, using his annoying laser assist.

Further experimentation with Dante's Reverb Shock xx Fireworks lock down is proving successful - Fireworks can hit you from full screen! It's a fuckin shotgun ffs!

Jill Is definitely staying in my roster. Maybe make a third team based on her. She's a sexy beast.

That's it. It was only 20mins of playtime.

[Drakul]

Anyone that read the post here (In the VG News thread, I think) or elsewhere about Capcom saying there was no plans for more MvC3 DLC should know that it was a misunderstanding.
They meant there would be no DLC for SSFIV after AE. They still have plenty for MvC3.

Also, two more events were unlocked a couple days ago. One for winning Arcade with a Capcom based team and another for winning 10 online matches as a Capcom team.

[Kalyx triaD]

Had a chance to play with the new DLC last night.

I'd say my favorite of the bunch is Dusty Rhodes.
His speed and strength make him shine against virtually any of the other wrestlers in All Stars.

Honky Tonk Man is a lot of fun and has some really humorous heel tricks up his sleeve.

Didn't spend much time with Cody but it seems that he is a favorite amongst the All Stars community.

I'd say $1.99 for 2 DLC characters is a hell of a deal considering that Capcom asks $5 each for the 2 MVC3 DLC characters and $15 for SSF4 AE DLC (4 "new" fighters).

Kudos to THQ for providing quality DLC, at a great price! I was worried that all DLC Superstars/Legends would be rush jobs with recycled move sets. I'm very happy with All Stars and must confess that, to me, this game blows Marvel 3 away!

[Kalyx triaD]

Haven't heard commentary this fun in a while. None of that New York ghetto shit.

[Kalyx triaD]

Recent tourny. Nothing particularly inspiring... If anything you'll see the latest gay shit, Tron assist used to get free openings. Some cool X23 stuff, though.

[alvarado52]

So, dlc has been out a while...we doing a tourney or what?

[RoXer]

no

[RoXer]

Look at you. Winning a few matches at 1 AM against me using people I'm not really familiar with.

And then the VERY NEXT DAY askin about a tournament.

cocky motherfucker

[alvarado52]

i have seen your best, and half your wins are due to Dark Pheonix. This is the reason i have thrown Hulk into the mix, to drop that trick, and it worked well.

Also, fuck off.

[Kalyx triaD]

[Emperor Smeat]

If Capcom had listened to the producer of Marvel vs Capcom 3, there would have been more Darkstalkers and Mega Man characters as part of the main roster and not as DLC in case customers had complained.

In a recent interview with Ryota Niitsuma, the producer of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, conducted by the Japanese magazine Dengeki, he shared a few details regarding the development of the game and its future direction. While there wasn't that much info, there were a few tidbits that may interest fans.

First off, he noted that proper development of the game began about two years ago, in mid-2009. Regarding character additions, he mentioned that he wanted to have included more Mega Man characters as well as even more Darkstalkers character than the three already present in the game's roster, which with the two DLC characters currently stands at 38 characters. He also mentioned that one of the staff members kept suggesting they add Rainbow Mika from the Street Fighter Alpha series.

[Fignuts]

Would have loved to see a couple Mavericks and Robot Masters in this.

Fuck, I'm totally confident that they could make a killer megaman fighting game. (No, the power battle games don't count.)

[Blitz]

Shadow Man plz

[Kalyx triaD]

Good to know X23 is back as a serious point character for me. I picked up a neat and damaging OTG assist set-up that adds to her danger element, and I use her dive kick more akin to how I did Cammy's.

Dante will also do more time on point, rather than be a clutch team member. Doing great things with him. I've really sharpened my 'Shottie Trap', can't wait to see a tourny player do it and then it becomes the next big thing. /Sarcasm

All of a fucking sudden Wesker's the guy to have on your team. Ugh, posers. It's all good, though.

[Khuntry]

Pfft what do you mean by all of the sudden.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well I haven't been online in a bit, and last I was on regularly I rarely saw Weskers. I play on my bro's profile for a bit and every other team has Wesker, holding him for XF3 clutch wins. To me, it's rather sudden.

[Kalyx triaD]

Let's kick it oldschool with a combo video from Marvel Superheroes. This game was special to me. Peep 2:57 to see Captain America toss away his shield and flip the fuck out. Vid ends with a wacky-ass Iron Man combo.

<object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lGz2fQRgQpo&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lGz2fQRgQpo&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>

Notes:
- Blackheart is used because of his massive hitbox.
- These combos are highly situational and were not common in normal or even high-level play.

[DaveBrawl]

I used to love that game, I even managed to beat it in the arcade with Juggernaut. I got so close to beating it with Cap and Iron Man, but I had seen some dude beat Thanos with Juggernaut so I just gave up on beating it with the others and beat it with him.

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't think I've ever actually beaten arcade mode in the arcade. I remember a guy playing through Killer Instinct and I joined him for a match and he got pissed. I thought that was weird. Keep in mind the damn thing was out on SNES at the time. Fuckin nazi.

[DaveBrawl]

:lol: You don't throw off a man's Killer Instict mojo.

It was wierd though, since I never was very good at most games in the arcade including the Xmen fighting game that came out the year before, I just rolled right through the game up till Thanos. It took me a few bucks worth of quarters but I finally got him.

[Fignuts]

I played through Tekken 4, Marvel Vs Capcom, and Marvel Vs Capcom 2 in the arcade.

Always thought Onslaught was the coolest fighting game boss.

[Kalyx triaD]

Aside from the DHC glitch (whose days are numbered), some of that stuff I'll be looking into. In bits and pieces of course. Especially Chris' mine assist for delayed OTG follow-ups. And stuff.

[Khuntry]

Ugh, so sick of combo videos. lame.

[Kalyx triaD]

Mega Man is lame. Barrett/Aero > Mega Man/Roll

[Khuntry]

U mad?

How's that Mega Man Universe coming along? Get hype.

[Drakul]

When someone rage quits online, does it count as a loss to them? Fought some guy tonight in ranked that had an unbeaten record of 12-0. He spammed moves etc. I took out his Pheonix when she came in to assist his Storm, who I also took out soon after. Got his Hsien-Ko down to a square of health and he quit.

Random story:
Fought a guy a few weeks ago who spammed Deadpools pistols. I tried to fight back but he just kept pushing me back with the spamming and won.
I came across him again later that day and he spams again but, this time, I spam back with Taskmasters "Aim of Hawkeye" move. I KO Deadpool and couldn't resist taunting which got the appropriate "Don't ya know any other moves?" quote.
I stopped spamming and his next guy, Spencer, comes in. The guy seemed genuinely lost. All he did was swing around and the occasional move. His final guy, I can't remember who, was pretty easy too. I had to taunt again and got Taskmasters laugh. I can't help taunting someone I beat if I feel they were playing "cheaply".
The guy had a pretty high rank so I can only assume he got there purely through spamming because he didn't have a clue what to do once DP was gone.

So many high ranking players seem to be like that. They either spam a projectile or they have a single, ridiculously long combo they've got down which they do until you are KO'd.

[Kalyx triaD]

(That Aero candy looks horrible)

Yeah MvC3 encourages a spam fest when moves are safer than most games (covers a lot of space, quick recoveries, lots of open space between players). The community spins this into 'playing legit keepaway', but imo there's a fine line between holding dudes back and sleeping on a move.

At least guys like that are shut down once you eliminate "that one character". The community calls that 'getting exposed,' and me and my bro share his gamertag pretty much exposing fuckers for fun. Somebody would win 1 or 2 player matches, we'd identify the problem, then we'd punk them for the next 5 matches - or whenever they Exit.

MvC3 still rewards the smarter player, and there's nothing like taking out that one character and watching as the other guy flail around. MvC3's more a team game than MvC2, perhaps they should prepare for more outcomes than 'spam with point character' and 'XF3 with last character'.

[Khuntry]

Mvc3 feels a lot different to me now, after not playing for a while.
My current stable ain't cutting it now. Wish I could get some matches with
good connections.

[alvarado52]

Never realized how good playing high level competition made me. Did some offline battles today against some people that battle regularly against each other (fight stick and all) and basically demolished every single one of them.

[Fignuts]

Megaman is awesome and Aero candybars are delicious.

0-2, Kalyx. 0-2.

[Fignuts]

Also, is there a 1v1 mode yet? There fucking should be.

[Funky Fly]

Imagine phoenix in a 1v1 mode. I don't think the games built for it.

[Drakul]

Closest you'll get is the Event that turns Arcade into 1v1.

It's pretty easy as Hulk. Xfactor, H punch, S punch, jump, Air H punch, Air S Punch, KO.

Xfactor, H punch, S punch against Pheonix.

"You can't beat me in SSF4. Here, let me play your game. To make it interesting."

Damn. And it looks like he got the hang of things pretty quick.

[Kalyx triaD]

Training against the CPU on Very Hard; I have a lot to learn about safe attacks, punishing normals, throw range/opportunity (shocking revelations there), and practicality. I also need to remember to separate 'vs cpu' tactics from true competition, and not get too comfortable.

Forgot my Ranked record is pretty swell, I miss playing online.

[Drakul]

Your leaderboard position, as well as Khuntrys, Funkys and everyone else but mine and one guy from my friends list has vanished.

Very Hard seemed insane to me when I first played MvC3 but now it seems no where near as hard. It can still be a challenge but the "WTF is this?!" factor has gone.

[Kalyx triaD]

Your leaderboard position, as well as Khuntrys, Funkys and everyone else but mine and one guy from my friends list has vanished.

Hmm... Since there's no weekly standings tab I'm going to assume you must play regularly to stay on the boards. I know Khuntry lost interest in Ranked some time ago, and I haven't been playing multiplayer in general.

In any case my percentage is in the early 70's. I don't know what the titles mean, I've been a 'Lord' for ages.

Very Hard seemed insane to me when I first played MvC3 but now it seems no where near as hard. It can still be a challenge but the "WTF is this?!" factor has gone.

I gave a 'wtf' when I faced Spidey on Very Hard and he beat the shit out of me with a Spider Stinger combo I've yet to see in any combo vids or streams. Spencer also did some extended ground combo by adding his zip-line after the third hit (he had lvl2 or 3 XF). Simple yet interesting and consistent attacks.

[Funky Fly]

Dude I've only played online against my brother. I watched a buddy of mine get his ass handed to him by Roxer once, but otherwise I haven't touched this at all unless I've been playing locally.

All your scores are gone. Ranked, arcade scores, win streaks etc.

I think the titles are based on your fighting style. A Lord might be an aggressive player and a Scout might be more of a reactionary player. That's the only conclusion I can come up with.

Spencer also did some extended ground combo by adding his zip-line after the third hit (he had lvl2 or 3 XF). Simple yet interesting and consistent attacks.

I tend to get more resistance on Very Hard and not actually get much in the way of new combos. Magneto on Very Hard just pumps out Disruptors like they were tictacs.

Also, fought a Cosmic Lord for the first time. Guy just spammed assists and pulled the same Wesker combo through the whole fight. I've noticed the higher in rank you fight, the more they repeat a single combo over and over. Some genuinely kick my ass through sheer skill but that seems to be the minority.

Low ranks genuinely fight. Upper ranks spam a single move, usually projectiles. Even higher ranks rinse and repeat a long combo over and over again.

[Kalyx triaD]

Head to your License and go to the Friends tab and click on me, I hope they didn't just erase my standings. In my License I can take a look at all of your stats from there.

[Drakul]

You're still there it's just that I can't seem to see you on any of the leaderboards.

Well I just looked and you've suddenly been added to the High Score learderboard but any other board and you're not then. Guessing it's because you lost your gold status.

[Kalyx triaD]

I guess it doesn't matter in the long run.

Dante is a fucking clown. If my brain worked fast enough, I'd counter everything ever. He has an answer for everything. Not a single wasted special move. Crazy.

[Drakul]

That's what I've been saying all along. How can Sentinal be broken when Dante has a move for every ocassion, projectiles in each directions, moves pretty quick and can take/deal decent damage?

Just because a character can deal/take a crazy amount of damage doesn't make them broken when they're huge, slow moving targets.
Characters with speed, health, strength and an answer for every single possability on the other hand. Broken.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wouldn't say broken. Like I said anybody who unlocks all of Dante's abilities simply can't be human. Fighting a CPU Dante on Very Hard is amazing, though.

[Fignuts]

Dude I've only played online against my brother. I watched a buddy of mine get his ass handed to him by Roxer once, but otherwise I haven't touched this at all unless I've been playing locally.

Figures that my xbox dies as soon as you apparently finish your oblivion kick.

I want to find someone who wants to play this KOF style. No tagging, no assists. Figured you and your bro might be down.

[Fignuts]

Also, I wonder if Capcom will reveal any new DLC characters at E3.

[RoXer]

I can do that

[RoXer]

Hell I DO do that

[RoXer]

doo doo

Hey Roxer you got any home remedies for the RROD? I remember you mentioning something before, but I think that was for the 4 red lights.

[RoXer]

nah

[Fignuts]

Well then what good are you?

[Kalyx triaD]

I think I can beat RoXer in this game.

[RoXer]

you can and have

[Kalyx triaD]

Who knows what you've learned since that one time we fought. I must test myself against you again. To make sure.

[RoXer]

nothing. i barely play

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't have Gold, this whole exchange is moot.

[Funky Fly]

Figures that my xbox dies as soon as you apparently finish your oblivion kick.

Fuck, I still play Oblivion 99% of the time I've been gaming alone. When I'm with friends it's usually fighting or music games. I just haven't been playing much lately in general though.

[Kalyx triaD]

In a move that's sure to get people talking, Marvel vs. Capcom 3's producer, Ryota Niitsuma, recently met with Marvel, fellow Capcom staff and other intermediaries at Capcom USA's offices, and left a message about it on his Twitter.

Hyper MvC3, please!

[RoXer]

anyone wanna play in 30?

[Kalyx triaD]

Sure.

[Kalyx triaD]

Change of plans. Bros wants to play Reach. Later on.

[Kalyx triaD]

It's on.

[Kalyx triaD]

Just had epic sessions with Khuntry, and then Drakul. Couldn't get a three way going.

Khuntry recaptured his spark with Zero. Pretty much beat my ass until I used my main team a few times in a row just to even the score. Khuntry's trolling with Sentinel now. Sentinel's such a joke. Made a false move and he wiped out my team in two combos.

My connection with Drakul was shockingly smooth. Not offline smooth, but consider past arrangements, I was happy. Drakul is good. We went even the whole time. Series ended 11-12 (or something rather, I know I had one win ahead).

Considering keeping Zero around. He's pretty fun.

I completely forgot how to play Jill.

[Drakul]

Yeah, I was surprised we matched so evenly. It ended 11-12 to you but if we had continued, it likely would have gone to 12-12 and then someone would have gotten to 13 and the other would have made it even and so on.

Was that you playing as Phoenix, Akuma & Spiderman? The playstyle was pretty different from how you usually play so I thought maybe you gave the pad to someone else for that fight.

I think I'm in with a shot at winning a fight as long as I have Hulk. I took down all 3 of your guys using just Hulk once or twice. Pity I couldn't just have him with 3 health bars or a team of Hulk, Hulk & Hulk, MvC2 style.

Hoping they release Venom and Juggernaut as DLC at some point. I liked Venom in MvC2 and I'd like to see how Juggernaut turns out in MvC3.

[Kalyx triaD]

Was that you playing as Phoenix, Akuma & Spiderman? The playstyle was pretty different from how you usually play so I thought maybe you gave the pad to someone else for that fight.

lol That was me. I've been trying to get Spidey up to speed simply for nostalgia purposes but I can't make it work. You wasted him.

[Funky Fly]

Sorry for all the game declines, gents. I've been going to town on Oblivion of late again and I've only really been playing this with friends who kinda suck horribly at fighters.

[Drakul]

Got to say I'm pretty pleased with my playing right now.

Put on MvC3, didn't bother having a warm up run through of arcade mode and just went straight online. Beat a Master Lords team of Storm, Wolverine and Sentinal (complete with level 3 X-Factor Sentinal) without losing a single team member of my own.
Hope it's a sign of things to come.

[Kalyx triaD]

Good for you, a few hours ago I lost an entire set of 16 games to the best Trish I ever seen (streams, tournies, wherever).

Other than that, my X23/Dante/Wesker team is becoming my main team. X23's dive kick is a tad safer than it probably should be. In fact many of the dive attacks are great.

[Kalyx triaD]

Niitsuma tweeted that he couldn't make E3 because he was busy on something. This is likely the next version of MvC3, or perhaps a new Versus game altogether. Either way I expect something during one of the Cons later this summer.

[Drakul]

Thought we'd get DLC announcements at least.

[Kalyx triaD]

Could be that, but either way they have no presence at this show.

[Drakul]

I was thinking. When you beat Galactus he says "How dare you. Now I must squash you, like the bug that you are."
Shouldn't he say that before we defeat him? Maybe when you get his health to 50%?

Unless there is some kind of DLC mode/upgrade or new MvC3 where he comes back tougher after we defeat him.
I noticed there are some lines of dialogue in the gallery I can't recall hearing him say and I've played through arcade quite a bit. Maybe they will have his fight be a two round battle eventually.

[Kalyx triaD]

More likely they had excess quotes.

I'd like to see a new boss, though. Or maybe new sub-bosses. ow about Silver Surfer himself.

[Drakul]

Maybe beat Galactus, he says his little line, in comes Apocalypse.

I'm no comic book reader so I'm not sure if he's more powerful than Galactus. I don't think he is if Galactus is supposed to be some all powerful destroyer of worlds.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, Galactus is way more powerful.

[Kalyx triaD]

Galactus is stronger, there's few on his level in terms of power. I suggest they make an AI version of Dark Phoenix with normal HP as the new final boss.

[Fignuts]

That seems lazy to me.

Sentry ftw

[Kalyx triaD]

Sometimes I feel like calling for a group session but I can't get past the whole no-spectator thing. That is a killjoy that ripples through time. Still, with Party Chat, perhaps we can coordinate con-current rooms like we did when SSF4 didn't let us connect. Sloppy, but that's what we can do.

Or we can all play Halo, which is seriously fun.

[RoXer]

You should set that up for sometime this week. Go message the usual suspects and see if/when they could play. Big ass party chat with parties of 3. Rotate every 10 mins

[Kalyx triaD]

Khuntry's down. Drakul's down (time difference is kinda steep). You, Figs, and Funky are question marks because you're gay.

Tonight and tomorrow let's try this. This weekend I'll be visiting Miami so I can't be on.

I see how it is.

Don't be a baby about this.

And I'm not gay either. I got hooked on the Elder Crack. Someone take me to rehab.

[Kalyx triaD]

Holy fuck at Daigo's Dante. Jesus shit.

[Drakul]

Had to go check out the video now that you mentioned it. You know what's coming.

Ok, 3 seconds into the video and he's picked the most over used characters on the roster, as usual.

Ok, after one fight, he's the exact same as every other Wolverine I've ever seen online. Berserk Barrage, Berserk Berrage, Akuma Assist, Berserk Barrage, Hyper Combo, repeat.

I watched the second fight and that was pretty standard stuff as well.

I'm still waiting for the video that shows he's better than anyone else you see playing the game.

I wouldn't say he was better than everyone in terms of skill. I'd say he was "jammy" more than anything else.

At the last second, he gets lucky and wins. He's more hype than anything, which works to his advantage because he's hyped up as this superplayer so people have more pressure on them when they fight them and even more if they are about to win against him.

I wish people would stop sucking him off like he was some kind of fighting game messiah. (Not aimed at you, Kalyx).

I'm totally aware I need to stop bitching about it but I stopped myself last time he was brought up when he announced he would be playing MvC3 so I'm going to go with this one.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm just saying, he has an interesting rushing approach with Dante that people aren't used to.

[Drakul]

Something I did notice he did with Dante that others didn't was the weird purple projectile that breaks into smaller projectiles. No one really uses that so that was something you don't see every day.

[Kalyx triaD]

I only use it to 'welcome' characters in after I KO one. trying to add it to a combo was not working for me.

Anyway I'm working on a keepaway Dante these days. Like very few characters, his projectiles (from the pistols) start combos. His prop-shredder (twirling the sword in his hand) also makes for a nice cover when people jump over the forward pistol shots.

Wolverine's the new clown.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuck Taskmaster. Fuck Sentinel.

[Drakul]

What's wrong with Taskmaster?

[Kalyx triaD]

This guy was doing this stupid fucking combo that including a few mighty swings that put you in heavy enough stun to continue for big damage. And he used Sent's drone assist along with Tasky's weird normal attacks to get me caught up in it. Our session was like 6-30. I tried everything short of picking new teams to deal with him. When I do beat Tasky here comes Sent with his retard priorities.

On the flip side I went 12 wins straight in Ranked, so this morning wasn't a total bummer (believe I beat your rank streak record actually).

[Kalyx triaD]

<iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LXe9tWZfTL8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Kalyx triaD]

Finally found a use for Dante's Twister. You'd think a tornado of fire would have more uses. It OTGs and leaves opponents in aerial status, which leaves them open for an unexpected air throw. Near a wall I can just jump for the throw, in the middle of the stage I'll need to instant air-dash to get in range. After the air throw all Dante can do is bullet rain to follow up, but with a good assist it can turn into something hurtful (using Jill's Arrow Kick now. After wallbounce perhaps hyper?)

Twister's style cancel, Tempest, is fucking useless. It tosses the opponent into a soft knockdown. I'll experiement with it more who knows.

[Fignuts]

So where is all this DLC they said they had material for?

[Kalyx triaD]

Not enjoying the Shadow Packs? :)

DLC characters may likely be announced at one of the upcoming Cons, if not the sequel to this game.

[Fignuts]

I figured we would have gotten more costume packs by now.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah that kinda blows. And I'm not a fan of the released pack not having alternate colors. There's simply no excuse for that.

[Funky Fly]

Good lord my MvC3 game needs boatloads of work.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pick Wolverine and do Dive Kick over and over and over.

[Drakul]

Yeah, I'm pretty let down with the DLC so far. Where are these new characters they had people voting for and stuff?

I'd be happy with new costumes/stages at the very least but I'd love some new characters to spice things up.

[Kalyx triaD]

We're certainly getting more than two characters. Yeah, I'm thinking an online update/sequel in the vein of AE.

[Drakul]

I was watching a Screwattack Video Vault about Wrestlemania on the NES and the games title screen says Hulk Hogan is copyright of Marvel.

Hulk Hogan in MvC3 would be weird.

[Funky Fly]

Well the Hulk name is part of the Incredible Hulk copyright owned by Marvel, so WWE has an agreement with them.

[Fignuts]

Wonder if we'll see characters from MvC 2 or all new characters. I'd prefer the latter.

[Emperor Smeat]

Would depend what Marvel is willing to allow on their side since they created a list of not allowed characters that does include some MvC 2 fighters.

Some of them were never meant to be in either MvC 2 or 3 until Capcom did a lot of pleading for permission.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah I don't Capcom's gonna fight as much this time, especially seeing how Sent (one of the characters Capcom lobbied hard for on behalf of the 'pro' players) turned into a debacle. The same pro players were babies about him, and pretty much everything else.

I hope Capcom pays more attention to the broad player base with the DLC, but we'll probably get Strider definitely.

Super release rumored for 2012

[Kalyx triaD]

2012? I'm thinking this holiday, but far be it from me to speak against the all mighty rumors.

If it drops next year (presumably Spring), it's a full fledged sequel rather than a 'fat' update. I believed it to be akin to SSF4 --> SSF4AE, but now it sounds like SF4 --> SSF4, which was a huge quality jump.

[RoXer]

http://lostlevel.com/2011/07/06/breaking-super-marvel-vs-capcom-3-to-be-announced-soon/

flimsy article but whatevs :-\

[Kalyx triaD]

Hype for balance tweaks.

[Boomer]

I'm really curious what they would change about the X-Factor. Its definitely staying, but I think it is far too important for every competitive match I've ever seen. Tournament level matches have just turned into blow-up matches lasting all of 25 seconds. I don't want footsies and turtling either, I just want something besides combo memorization and unblockable setups.

[Kalyx triaD]

Well you're asking for footsies.

[Boomer]

I'm asking for a middle ground. I know the series is all about nonstop ridiculousness, but I feel like every ounce of strategy is being thrown out the window and has been replaced by people taking constant chances for one hit to immediately decide the life or death of an opposing character.

Also, the are zoning characters in this game, but most of them aren't very good; the rush down characters are far and away the characters of choice. I want better and more varied team compositions, not just rush-down, assist-character, comeback threat.

[RoXer]

Anyone wanna play?

Hsien Ko's launch is so fucked up

[Kalyx triaD]

Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, and Marvel Entertainment today announced that Ultimate Marvel® vs. Capcom® 3 is in development for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®.

EDIT: Updated with HD

[Funky Fly]

Yay? I mean, we all knew this was coming, but for real I won't put down for this unless the online suite is closer to SSF4. Why did they even do away with it?

[Blitz]

Ehhhhhhh. I love Strider, Ghost Rider, and Hawkeye, and Firebrand looks like he could be fun. But I haven't touched this in months. Kind of interested in the "refined fighting system", but unless the other 8 characters are awesome, I'll probably sit this one out.

Really wish it could be a dlc update.

[Boomer]

Gonna sell my original copy soon, I guess.

[Boomer]

Like today, probably.

If you still can't change the color it's kind of a bust.

[Drakul]

M.O.D.O.K.s alt is awesome!

I'm all for UMvC3. I'd assume it'll be about £20, same as SSFIV. £20 for 12 characters, 8 stages, new modes and costumes works out cheaper than if they were all DLC so I've no problem with it.
Liking the new HUD as well.

[Kalyx triaD]

The new HUD weirded me out at first but now I get it. Much easier to see that you still have XF, point character's health front and center (did they have to darken the other's, though?), meter management is idiot proof, big fat numbers telling you where you're at.

-XF doesn't seem to last as long, but I'm only guessing based on vids.
-Firebrand/Red Arremer will be the new terror. Strider looks impressive but if there's anything I gathered from this is straight forward characters are very strong. Firebrand looks like Wolverine with a fireball.
-Ghost Rider can hit you from nearly full scream. His lvl3, Penance Stare, is so fucking right. His motorcycle hyper, the one that presumably caused so much controversy, looks hokey.
-Hawkeye looks pretty cool. His hyper with Hank Pym is nice.

New moves:
-Ryu's beam super now ricochets off walls. Don't think that's what he needed but there may be more.
-Storm can makes gusts of wind to pull you in, I guess. Let's assume she can push you as well. Rachel Alucard sends her regards.
-Spencer has a vertical dive attack (OTGs). Combined with his aerial game, he's stronger off that alone.

Spot anything else?

[RoXer]

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71BiZzoRtNL._AA1078_.jpg

There's no way that's the finished box art. Dunno why they even bothered.

New HUD is cool. I feel like the inactive fighter's health gauge should be a little brighter. Can hardly see them.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol What? Shinkiro's art should have been the first boxart. What they choose was ugly, this is way better.

[Drakul]

Capcom accidently leaks the other 8 characters (avoid Eventhubs if you don't want it spoiled).

Huge spoilers ahead:

Doctor Strange
Frank West
Iron Fist
Nemesis (Someone I actually wanted in the game got in? Wow!)
Nova
Phoenix Wright
Rocket Raccoon
Vergil

Someone's getting fired.

[RoXer]

I feel like $40 is high yet $30 is too low. But I guess the only reason is because I plopped down for the LE.

I am getting this though. The reason I didn't play the regular version as much was because a lack of spectator mode which sucked all the fun out of the game. Everything else I could give a shit less about. I'm not clamoring for any new characters. New stages are a plus but I don't see why they couldn't have been in the regular version. Same thing goes for the characters I guess. And spectator mode.

Can someone remind me why these weren't in the original version again?

[RoXer]

lol What? Shinkiro's art should have been the first boxart. What they choose was ugly, this is way better.

I'm saying there's 8 more characters to be announced and maybe even put this montage of characters behind a new stage which has yet to be announced. This boxart will be revised before release, I don't understand why even bothering making this one.

[RoXer]

Wow. No Mega Man. Good thing we have Rocket Raccoon though. :roll:

Wonder if he will play like him.

[Kalyx triaD]

snip

That. Is a great. Roster.

Aside from the furry, I have no kind of objections(;)).

And yeah, considering recent news, fully expected Mega Man to be left out.

[Drakul]

This leak has to be some kind of record. Shortest time between officially revealing a game and leaking out it's characters.

Pretty sure Megaman is completely dead by this point.

[Kalyx triaD]

What's to spoil, guys? A fuck up of this magnitude doesn't deserve our discretion. The characters were outed, let's move on.

Sad to see no Vampire Jubilee but I'm good.

[Kalyx triaD]

Companies are gonna have to change how they do things. These days you cant keep anything secret, material and info will have to be hand-carry or some shit. Kinda depressing, and somehow liberating, but mostly depressing.

[RoXer]

Say, who is... Virgel?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_in_Devil_May_Cry#Vergil.2FNelo_Angelo


Vergil is Dante's elder identical twin

FUCK ME. I think that's the last thing anyone wants, playstyle wise.


(Yes, I know the next sentence reads that they're polar opposites so let's pray to god that he plays like it)

[Kalyx triaD]

You haven't played DMC3: Special Edition?

Virgil is nothing like Dante, personality and style wise. Think of him as a humorless samurai with a lightning fast sword. With Dante's Devil Trigger most likely. Virgil is awesome, no clone shit here.

[Drakul]

Ranked is going to be even blander in UMvC3, isn't it?

I love ranked matches in fighting games. Your best against their best. It sucks when everyones "best" is the same characters, stratagy and combos as everyone elses.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pretty much.

Maybe they'll crack it in Ultimate AE or 2k15 though and have a varied, balanced roster by then.

[RoXer]

Dude, <s>Madden</s>MarvelvsCapcom hasn't been good since 2005

[RoXer]

You haven't played DMC3: Special Edition?

Virgil is nothing like Dante, personality and style wise. Think of him as a humorless samurai with a lightning fast sword. With Dante's Devil Trigger most likely. Virgil is awesome, no clone shit here.

Hold on to your hat...

I've never played any DMC game

[Boomer]

Hey guess what, since price drops happened today, I only got 8 bucks for MvC3. I did it anyway; didn't want the trouble of trying out Goozex and I still got an extra ten bucks for 3. Funny enough, they bought my copy of Infamous for the same price I bought it for at Walmart (10 bucks).

[Boomer]

And I pre-ordered Catherine, because why the hell not? Probably no one else will buy it.

[RoXer]

WOW you got hosed

You could have got $50 worth of points at goozex for it right now. And it's hardly a hassle. Unbelievable.

[RoXer]

I can't goozex this because I feel guilty getting rid of Khuntry's art :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

And I pre-ordered Catherine, because why the hell not? Probably no one else will buy it.

It will probably outsell the excellent Shadows of the Damned. 30k copies... Ouch.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ranked is going to be even blander in UMvC3, isn't it?

I love ranked matches in fighting games. Your best against their best. It sucks when everyones "best" is the same characters, stratagy and combos as everyone elses.

Honestly that's most fighting games. Tier whores are everywhere. We'll see how UMvC3 balances out, however. If it's SSF4 balanced, fucking fantastic. If it's SF4/SSF4AE balanced, ugly.

I find more enjoyment out of player matches these days anyway.

Hold on to your hat...

I've never played any DMC game

Thought you played DMC4... Okay then.

[Boomer]

I know I got hosed, but I don't really care. I step into Gamestop once in a million years and rarely load off games. And I already got hosed for buying MvC3 and not playing it in the first place.

[Kalyx triaD]

I can't goozex this because I feel guilty getting rid of Khuntry's art :(

You want a digital copy? I don't think he minds what happens to a paper copy. You can... ask him for one, ya know.

[Boomer]

That said, once UMvC3 goes for 20-30, I'd probably buy it. It really depends on how how well its received, and if I have a job at the time.

[RoXer]

Oh shit I guess I can get rid of it as "disc only" and keep everything else (didn't realize this till I just checked goozex right now I noticed it matched me for the PS3 version that G wanted. Meaning someone else had that bright idea the moment Ultimate was released.)

[RoXer]

Yeah that's what I'll do. I dunno why disc only didn't cross my mind. Probably because I'm retarded.

[Emperor Smeat]

So would it be a safe bet to assume some sort of "Arcade Edition" for Marvel vs Capcom 3 to arrive next year if this game now goes by the SF4 style schedule?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Maybe, unless the fighting genre is totally over-saturated by this point and Ultimate sells like shit.

[Blitz]

Iron Fist? Phoenix Wright? NOVA?

...well shit, I might be picking this up after all.

[Blitz]

Rocket Racoon though, what

[Fignuts]

Rocket Racoon is the fucking man.

You need to read Guardians of the Galaxy.

Definitely feeling the new characters, but I dunno. AE, 3rd Strike and KoF XIII will probably take most of my time until SF x Tekken hits, and then that's all I'll be playing.

When does this come out?

[Kalyx triaD]

November.

[G]

Marvel vs Capcom 3 - Ultimate

let's make it happen

[Kalyx triaD]

• You can now X-factor in the air.

• Phoenix can only have one action per jump... meaning one fireball then she floats down.

• Characters now say something upon entering the screen when the previous character died.

• Many of the returning cast has new moves, or moves that act differently, (Ryu's Hyper Fireball now bounces off of walls, Taskmaster and Spencer are shown with new moves.)

• Ghost Rider has at least 2 special moves that OTG, and his two level one supers appear to OTG. His level 3 super is a grab where he uses the Penance stare on you.

• Strider is the first character to have two level 3 supers, (Ragnarok, and the Ouroboros.) Most of his moveset from Marvel 2 was shown. His robot animal super OTGs.

• Firebrand's level 3 appears to summon a computer controlled doppleganger firebrand to assist.

• Hawkeye's level 3 super OTGs. He fires off Antman, who hits the opponent, then grows in size and gives the opponent the biggest Monty Python boot known to man. Hawkeye has different arrows he can fire depending on the button pressed (frozen shot, poison shot, piercing shot, triple arrow, scatter shot, and net shot are shown.)

• Wolverine's Berserker Slash is not invincible and slower.

• Viewtiful Joe has the "Slow Dodge" move now. It's a special move that's super cancellable. In the Viewtiful Joe games, if you activated Slow and you got attacked, you'd dodge.

• Magneto has a new special move where he sucks you in with magnetism. Gravitation magnetizes the opponent. Repulsion pushes them away. Attraction pulls them towards you. His air-to-ground dash is slower now.

• Akuma's Hurricane Kick Assist doesn't knock down anymore, the opponent will flip out.

• Ryu can charge up his fireballs and they fly so quickly you can barely see them on screen. Charging can be done by holding down the button, like in Street Fighter X Tekken. A fully charged fireball will explode on contact, causing a wall bounce. He can also charge his Shoryuken now. Ryu can cancel his overhead with special moves now.

• Taskmaster has a new move called the Charge Sting. It impales the opponent, can combo into it.

• Dormammu's Flame Carpet OTG now pushes the opponent very far away. Much harder to combo from, even with an assist.

• Wolverine has a new move where he does a bunch of slices at close range, with the odd shoutout to "Swiss cheese."

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Destructoid: I'm going to ask something you've probably already heard a few times since today's announcement: Why wouldn't this release just be downloadable add-on content instead of a disc?

Niitsuma: After the release of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 there were plans to release DLC. But, as you know, less than a month after the game was released we had the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. That had an impact on everything, and it threw off our whole development schedule. We decided that instead of doing the DLC we could put it all together in one package, add some additional stuff to make it robust and deliver it as a disc.*

[Kalyx triaD]

Considering they could have made more money by selling UMvC3 piece by piece as DLC, I'll accept this answer.

[RoXer]

Nice title change

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah, that's objective.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Objectivity is my middle name.

[Super V]

...

[RoXer]

Hey everyone! Super V is back! For like 5 seconds or so and then he'll leave like he always does

[Super V]

Like the new title btw.

[Super V]

Hey everyone! Super V is back! For like 5 seconds or so and then he'll leave like he always does

Responsibility is a heavy responsibility. :'(

With as much shit as I talked I actually own the game for 360... really wanted it to be better which is why I was so jaded.

lol at capcom trolling with Zero's new win quote.

If X were here, he would have tried to talk things out first. Unfortunately for you, X isn't here.

[Kalyx triaD]

Based on details discovered, Ryu's a damn god now.

[Khuntry]

his overhead is cancel-able now, finally.

Good news for meeeeeeeeeeeee

And meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Kane Knight]

So I hear Capcom's releasing an expansion to one of their fighting games. This is the worst thing ever.

Nah. I still don't have MVC, so this is even more appealing.

[Kalyx triaD]

KK coming out of nowhere making sense.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Capcom are still blaming the fans for the recent poor status of Mega Man and now are saying there was low interest from fans for him to be in Ultimate MvC 3.

I’m sorry, there is no Mega Man in Ultimate. We had a lot of requests from fans for Mega Man or at least one of them to be in the game. Out of all of the requests we got for Capcom characters, he just didn’t enter the top part of the ranking. Unfortunately, he didn’t make the cut.

The problem is someone managed to find out the results of a character request poll that showed Capcom was lying again. The same type of poll Capcom used to find out what characters would be worthy of the initially planned DLC packs for MvC 3 and eventually just as the extra characters for Ultimate MvC 3.

[RoXer]

gunna goozex this in about 3-4 weeks. maybe sooner

[Kalyx triaD]

Would it be worth something now?

[RoXer]

it's worth $50 in points now and still a high demand for it. As Ultimate gets closer, the demand will die down and the value will go down also.

[BizarroKing]

Hey Capcom...

http://www.cosplayhouse.com/images/D/Street_Fighter_cammy_costume_ver_02-1-03.jpg

Excluding her from the game? What the hell man?

[Kalyx triaD]

I agree.

[dronepool]

Will this include the DLC's like the alternative outfits?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Will this include the DLC's like the alternative outfits?

Doubt it. Super SF4 didn't.

Notes (not official update notes, discovered by players, subject to change, etc):

Read changes as:
+ = Buff
- = Nerf
+/- = A change in mechanics that can be either a buff or a nerf and needs more experimentation to determine which it is

Akuma

+ Akuma is able to use Demon Flip and moves in the air now. [Oh shit]
+ Akuma has a Demon Flip Command Throw now (?) [Great if true]
+ Teleport seems slightly more useful, better but no real confirmation on this.
- Tatsu Assist is no longer a soft knockdown, so it's a bit more difficult to extend combos with it.
- Demon Flip dive kick OTG ground bounce relaunch is much more strict.
- Does not have a light Tatsu infinite in LVL3 XF anymore. [Shockingly rarely abused anyway.]

Amaterasu

+ Cold star appear to be faster when on point
+ Gets a speed bonus in X-Factor LVL2
- TAC gitch gone

Arthur

+ Increased overall health
+ J.S drops him downward more quickly for easier OTG after air combo
+ Arthur can throw 3 lances out (?)

C. Viper

+/- Unconfirmed, unseen new move hinted by Nitsumo himself
- It's possible her infinite from MVC3 is removed but it's not confirmed yet

Captain America

+ Shield Slash specials are faster
+ Has a Double jump now [HA!]
+ Captain America overall is a faster character
+ M/H versions of Charging Star now cause Soft Knockdown

Chris Redfield

+ Supposedly he has faster special moves start up now

Chun-Li

+ Appears to do overall more damage in combos
+ Chun-Li appears to be no longer vulnerable after doing her up kicks in the air (?)
+ Supposedly has new move properties (like chargeable fireballs). Very much unconfirmed, need more information on this.

Dante

+/- There have been changes to jab move (either addition or substraction of frame start up). Need more information on this.
- Hit stun scaling has been changed a bit for Dante particular on combos involving his Sky Dance. There may be other changes to his other special moves.
+/- J.S start up/frames changed up (either addition or substraction)
- Possible changes on Hammer (?) but unconfirmed

[Vague report, hope to get concrete stuff on him]

Deadpool

+ Quick Work: The distance/range/speed of this attack is said to have been increased.
+ Supposedly faster specials and Ninja gifts (?)

Dormammu

+ Reports that his Zoning Specials have become better in speed and recovery.
+ Dark Dimension has a larger hitbox. No longer passes under bouncing opponents.
+ Increased distance on backdash
+ Can use Purification in the air
+ Can charge Dark Spells while airborne. Can only charge one at a time and is vulnerable until he lands. He stops in the air when performing this special, in the same manner as Dark Hole.
Liberation in the air causes him to teleport to the ground and then perform the release.
+ Can attack out of down-back airdash. Most likely up-back too.
- Reduced hitstun on cr.M
- Dorm puts Flame Carpet slighty further out & hitbox change(?). Can cause OTG to hit once and knock people away mid-screen. Causes corner Flame Carpets to hit once on some characters because of the distance it's laid out. Flame Carpet also disappears when Dorm is hit.

[Well fuck.]

Dr. Doom

+ Dooms j.H laser is faster [Even [I]I thought he needed this]
+ Faster cr.L
+ Launcher appears to be safer on block
+ Overall, Doom's projectiles appear to be faster now
+ Doom's forward throw causes a hard knockdown now
+ Air S moves faster vertically
+ Air S causes ground bounce on juggle

Haggar

- Lariat assist no longer causes Hardknockdown (it causes Soft knockdown)
+/- Haggars f+H now causes bounce rather than huge hitstun (?)
- He might be more vulnerable during Lariat

Hsien-Ko

+ Appears to be slightly faster, generally much less "floaty"
+ Appears to do slightly more damage due to less hit deterioration from her previously multi-hitting normals (some of them still have multi-hitting properties)
+ Airdash is a bit faster
+ f.M has slight better recovery (?)
+Senpuu Bu seems faster (?)
+Grounded Henkyo Ki recovery is faster
+ Anki-Hou (the Gong) has faster startup
+/- Supposedly she has new projectiles like a big Log. Need more confirmation on this. Seems like she got more than a couple.

Hulk

+ St.H has 3 points of super armor now [Crazy]
- OTG Gamma Wave into Gamma Crush is tighter now

Iron Man

+ Iron Mans UniBeam is faster and recovers faster, spammable
+ Ground dash moves him at least 1/2 screen across. Before it moved him about 1/3rd distance. [Combined with his long ranged M attack, this is scary]
+ Even faster flight cancel
+/- Triangle jump/air dash mechanics changed. Seem to have different trajectories and acceleration.
- Possibly removal of double jump (?)

M.O.D.O.K.

+ MODOK has a new air Psionic blaster done with S

Magneto

+ New move, that modifies your momentum anywhere on the screen (similar to the wind effect from Storm, or like Rachel's Wind Drive in Blazblue). Can pull you forward, push you back, or force you to stay more-or-less stationary. HUGE buff, due to the free nasty mixups on people jumping in. Pull them closer so they accidentally cross you up. Punish. [Very cool]
- Air dash reduced in range, and maybe slighty reduced in speed. Slightly affects some ROM midscreen combos of Magneto. Triangle jumps overall appear to be slightly slower.
- J.H pushes enemies away more and combined with the dash range reduction, combos are harder to do. He still has access to his Grav loop in the corner but you get less repetitions out of them.
- Disrupter start up slowed down and is generally slower but still a dominant projectile
- Throw trap time decreased slightly

Morrigan

+ Appears to do more damage on combos
+ Flight cancel combos appear to be more reliable/useful
+ New meter sucking fireball QCF+S that steals about 1/3rd of the opponents meter. Very buff new special for her.
+ Start up times on Missile hyper and Astral Vision buffed up (?)

Phoenix

- Only one action per jump. No more multiple fireballs, no more fireball into teleport. [She'll still be a bitch.]

Ryu

+ Ryu now has a "buff" super* (d, d+ two attacks) that enhances everything he does. This was seen in the UMVC3 trailer, when his Hurricane Hyper looked like a level 3 - its because of this buff. This buff also enhances his hadoken, which is best noticed in his Hadoken assist. It gets ridiculous Projectile Durability, and it seems harder to knock Ryu out of it. It also allows his Shinkuu Hadouken to bounce off of walls. Overall, it makes him a much threatening character.
+ Ryu's Hadoken and Shoryuken can be charged for additional effects, such as making Hadoken so fast it's invisible and causing wall bounce. Can be used in the air.
+ Ryu can cancel his overhead into specials now
+ Can now cancel his Tatsumaki's into other specials (?)

[Basically he's a new character. *Ryu tapping this 'Power of Nothingness' is a character arc that began in SF4, and now makes appearance in this and SFxT. It is an answer to the Satui no Hadou, Akuma himself regards it as interesting. I wish there was some media elaborating on this.]

Sentinel

+/- Sentinel drones have been sped up. They are now a true block string.
- Air combo into L Rocket Punch into HSF does not work anymore or at least isn't reliable.
+ Rocket punches and overall speed of Sentinel has been increased

She-Hulk

+ Appears to be overall faster (?)
+ New lampost projectile executed with RDP motion and causes wall bounce on impact. Has considerable start up.
- Slide now covers less distance
- TAC glitch removed

Spencer

+ New OTG Dive bomb move "Death from Above" that Spencer can combo after connecting [His tricky air game just got better.]

Storm

+ New Move: DP+S = Fair Wind, pushes opponent away, new move: RDP+S = Foul Wind, pulls opponent towards her [That's cool [I]and canon.]
+ Appears to do better damage
+/- Slight changes to her jump cancel loops
- Cannot call assists while floating

Super Skrull

+ Meteor Smash is doable from the air now [Seems obvious]
+ LVL3 causes massive stagger, allowing you to combo after it

Taskmaster

+ New Move: Stab n Grab can be linked into Shield Charge
+ Shield Charge has its distance increased

Trish

+ Recovery on air and ground Hopscotches reduced
+ Recovery on air and ground Peakaboo reduced
+ Peakaboo assist comes out faster
+ Low Voltage projectiles have faster start ups

[Less recovery on her traps will open up her aerial combo game, faster projectile is great.]

Tron Bonne

- Tron Gustaff Fire assist has been nerfed, a bigger hittable box [Her glory days are over.]
- Tron's j.H knocks away making it difficult to hit confirm into a combo
+ Trons Bonne Strike has quicker recovery
+ Servebot projectiles come out faster (?)

Viewtiful Joe

+ New Dodge move that dodges mid/low moves easily. [Sounds cool]
+ Possibly faster mobility/j.S

Wesker

- Much lower health overall. Estimates put him in the 800-900K category now. We are talking at least a 200K drop in health. [Hmm]
- Appears to have slower teleports (?)
- Air throw pushes the opponent all the way to the corner making it harder to follow up. [WTF]

Wolverine

- Seems to have less health.
- Berserker Slash is slower, lost invincibility [Ha]
- Seems slower overall perhaps to make Berserker Charge more balanced overall
- Contrary to popular belief, Wolverine can still relaunch after a Dive Kick in the air combo the ground bounce may just not work if a dive kick stagger was used to start the initial combo
+/- Some sort of button-mashy Swiss cheese move [As noted, this may be a tacit nerf for players to be be more precise with Wolverine on the ground.]

X-23

+ OTG slash seems to have a slightly larger window, making OTG + assists easier. [Thank you.]
+ X-23 Rage Trigger hyper is faster.

Zero

+ Zero Rekoha hyper is now wider and covers more ground
- Zero's lv.3 Buster causes soft knockdown now (was hard knockdown before).

[RoXer]

Didn't fix Hsien-Ko's launch though

[RoXer]

[Kalyx triaD]

Too bad, I would like to show you my new X23 teknologee.

Trying to incorporate her beast hops into something resembling my Zero dash mix-up, except instead of right/left shenanigans, standing/crouch silliness. Her Talon Dive is key to gayness.

[Funky Fly]

I'm almost through with oblivion. Told you suckas I wouldn't be playing online for ages. Any time you see me playing this, chances are I'm playing local coop.

[Fignuts]

That's not me. It was somebody else. Tonight perhaps.

I think YOU are the key to gayness.

[Kalyx triaD]

That's fine by me.

[Super V]

you and everyone else
