All Level 3s in the Gamescom build - UM Tyrant

Cap's is cool

no cinematic for Hulk :(

Nova goes full Dragonball lol

CapAmerica's Lvl 3 is kinda boring, but whatever.

Doctor Strange still looks horrible without the astral projection, with him randomly flying around the other character and doing the animation as if he were a ghost. See the way he rises before flying to the opponent, they just reused that animation and made no adjustments. They removed something kinda neat and representative of the character for no reason. :(

Ghost Rider's is the actual worst.

Hawkeye's is not bad for having lost the greatness that was the Ant-Man/Giant Man arrow.

Nova's is actually real nice looking.

Rocket's is not great, just kinda boring.

Spider-Man's actually real good.

Thor spins his hammer and it just kinda floats there. That looks real bad.

Chris' activation looks wack.

Ryu's Dark Hadou Shoryuken is real neat.

WTF at Spencer's

Stuff like Ghost Rider's penance stare is so weird because, they are giving these old chrcters new animations and shit for level 3s (Nova, Cap, Spencer, Spidey, Frank off the top of my head) so its not like Penance Stare is to cut corners / save money or whatever right?

Someone thought that looked good :p

Maybe they wanted a shorter supers overall where they could.

The Main thing for Spencer's is a supposed callback to the end of the game where use uses the grenade in a similar fashion. That said though, it really could have been executed better, or at the very least, they could have done something extra to make him look like a badass (rather than confirming people's hate for the character).

Yep, it's a call back to the final boss of the recent Bionic Commando.

It's a neat idea, something that feels like it came from people who actually played the game, and I got a chuckle out of it the first time I saw it since I didn't expect such a specific reference. But much like a lot of other animation oddities in MvCI it feels completely toothless, especially comparing it to it's source material. Weird cause his regular grab already feels like it has weight to it and this kind of speeds through it.

I think even Marvel may be making some weird ass decisions for the presentation of their characters in this game.

There's also Dr. Strange's level 3 being identical to UMvC3 except he no longer uses his astral projection for some reason.

Pretty sure Max has told Capcom when he went to play the game recently and they agreed, so I might be altered before launch to make it look less awkward.
Click to expand...

Max told a random person at Capcom USA's offices, "that doesn't look right". The person agreed. That's... not how this works. If they make a change before launch it won't be because Max did that. Also that is the final version, excluding some day one patch shenanigans.

And yeah, Spencer's is a Bionic Commando 2009 reference, but it's so weirdly executed...
 
DR2K said:
Copy > Paste for most of them. All the new ones are horrible, especially the voice acting, special place in hell for Captian Marvels screech. Spencer's is literally the designers not knowing who the fuck he is and using wikipedia as a reference as they animate it.
Click to expand...

Captain Marvel looks really cool with her sparkly star body, though. Admit that or forever be exposed as a hater.
 
Unyielding Justice is like, slightly less cool than Final Justice, but I still like it.

I almost kind of dig the new Penance Stare in pure creepiness.

Hawkeye's pose and facial animations at the end of his Level 3 ruin an otherwise okay Level 3.

Hulk's Level 3 sucks.

Thor has the coolest "throw into air and then shoot up" hyper. Dat end pose.

Frank's Level 3 being an auto-level 5 is kind of.. concerning? I really don't know what to think about how good Frank is in this game at Level 1 or Level 5.

Spider-Man and Nova have the best new Level 3s IMO.

Spencer probably has the worst Level 3 ever.
 
Hmm... Could we ask the Mods to make a poll for us to ask "Who has the worst Level 3 special?"

It really is split between Spencer's "Stab person with Grenade" callback and Ghost Rider's literally staring into your soul when in game form, it is just him "staring at you" while the background gets more animated than him.

thats truly the best use of the mods time
 
Can we discuss little weird nuances in the game that we really like?

Personally something about Dante's Million Stabs move in this game is really satisfying. I love the sword swishing sound effect they used for it this time. It sounds almost cartoony but I like it a lot.
 
It seems like around half of the Marvel characters have the same creatively bankrupt "hit the opponent into the air and then shoot them with a big laser or something" level 3. They're not showing off what these characters can really do. There's especially no excuse for Thanos's being so boring.

As someone else mentioned, I believe that's a reference to one ofthe Bionic Commando games where he does the same thing.

There's another Trophy (Funny since this is an xbox channel).
Combo Machine - Looks like it's for pulling off so many hits. Since they get it after a Jedah Super.

So currently there seems to be a trophy for getting a certain amount of combo hits and playing so many local matches.

Spencer continues to be a god damn joke in this game in terms of presentation.
Click to expand...

He really hasn't been changing anyone's opinion on him being the most easily replaceable character on the roster next to firebrand. The nod to BC09 is nice but yeah that level 3 needed work.

Using BC09's design again was a mistake. There's nothing really redeemable about Infinite Spencer. At least MvC3 Spencer had the really cool BIONIC ARMMMM, the 80k damage, and the Rearmed costume, but he's so neutered here.

He still looks like he'd still be a good character gameplay wise but bleh.
 
FSLink said:
I definitely think Spencer and Captain America with his bug-like eyes are the worst looking characters now that Dante and Chun got fixed.
Click to expand...
Easy those two are worst looking characters now. Those two were IMO just as bad as those other characters before not they just stick out even more especially Spencer.
 
Woolie said it perfectly: "You were a nice quirk pick back in Marvel Vs Capcom 3, but you really didn't need to return."

That's basically how I see Spencer. I don't care how often he was picked at high level.
 
Man, most of the level 3s were lame. I'm still struggling to identify why the quality has dropped so low. How do you go from Rocket Raccoon's previous level 3 to that one? Even the copy paste work is largely poor; did you really need to bring back Chris's rather uneventful and boring level 3 if you were just going to make it more simple and worse looking?

This isn't something that will be fixed in a day one patch. It's not something that will be fixed in a day 365 patch. These are permanent fixtures of the game. And that's a real shame. This is a crossover fighter that's supposed to stylishly represent both companies and it's failing at it.

Some of the money that should have went to this game went to MHW.
 
Menat >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rashid

Then again, I forget Capcom and these threads have a "BROS B4 HOES" mentality.

Chriss lvl3 is actually a lot better now. The first explosion is near instant after the activation.

It's still whack in terms of look. That laser stuff is dumb. Wasn't a good part in RE5 so I don't know why they thought it'd be good for his moveset.

I'm going to pretend that you meant to post this in the Menat trailer thread or the SFV thread. Otherwise, I'm going to repeat what others have said: "wat?"

I made a mistake, I was reading a discussion from 7 pages ago and thought it was from today. Oops.
