Fighting Games Weekly | Jan 28-Feb 3 | Melee Vs. Skullgirls: The Fate of Whens Marvel

Characters should have different healths based on their hit box size not on their strength or lack of tools. This whole idea of give one or two characters an insane level of toolset but low health while give others worse tools but better health is a terrible design philosophy.

You can blame MVC3 facebook page for that. Scrubs crying and screaming for Capcom to nerf Sentinel.

Everyone screamed for Sentinel nerfs back in the day. They started screaming for nerfs before they even got to play the game. He hadn't even won a tournament yet.

Sentinel, Ice Man and Wesker are examples of how you don't start asking for nerfs/buffs one week into the game.

SG lands a slot at UFGT9 and CEO thanks to the donation drive.

And no Super Smash Bros Melee.

But he said "We wish we could talk about stuff, but we can't", so that means we should infer that they don't wish they can say stuff, but will?
We infer this as Sven being Sven. As of now Sven is just tired of saying "NO MORE MARVEL!!!" so he has changed his tone to "I can't say anything". As long as people keep coming to CU spamming up the forums for MORE MAHVEL... Sven is doing his job.

Don't give the guy any more attention than he already has. It's a waste of effort trying to analyze his lines or come up with inferred meanings.

Eh, the glasses buff was stupid crap that shouldn't have existed at all.

And people equated that to him being broken.

"Wesker have level 4 xfactor

me only have level 3

4 big number

wesker broken"

Same thing with sent

OH GOD HIS HEALTH IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KILL HIM AND THEN HE KILLS YOU BACK
 
So are Savage Saturdays active again or what? I can't ever tell if they're a regular thing or not.

Watching the latest online warrior, did Sven really say all that? Pretty interesting, although the eventhubs article makes no mention.
Max quoted Sven wrong and made it sound like Sven was implying they had something to say, but they don't, and Sven didn't imply it that way either.

Yea, that's what I thought. A statement like that certainly implies a lot. Actually sounds like something said before umvc was revealed.
 
Yeah that's stupid but the outrage over Wesker was also stupid. He's still a really strong character and better than either Ice Man or Sentinel but the outcry over OP Wesker was over the top.
Of course

There was a lot of stupid flying around before UMvC3. I remember being major leader of the Morrigan nerf brigade back when we all thought she was dead in the water. Those were the days.

Four is bigger than three. It has to be broken. Don't you know maths?
 
So I just took a quick gander through the Ask Capcom forum. Tens of threads related to MvC3 updates/MvC4 in the past month. People just keep asking the same shit over and over again.

Let's recap his replies post-the-Marvel-employee thing:
  • I never said that... hassling Marvel isn't going to make anything happen any faster either guys.
  • Nothing I can talk about at this time (eventwise or announcementwise). Sorry.

Also Chris Baker ‏@cbake76 on January 13th:
@Brewski_420 Am I get everyone's hopes up? Not the intention. All I've done is respond to say that nothing is in the works, but we hear you.

I believe Max was referring to the second one, which has been his stock answer for "nothings coming you fuckers, stop asking" for years, but somehow because he's switched up his reply after the influx of "nothing in the works" replies recently people are thinking something has changed. And shit, in the second one he wasn't even talking about Marvel, he was talking about Captivate 2013.

Please people, do not mislead yourselves, and let your hope die in a fire.
 
Anybody wanna have a permaban bet russian roulette for Uncanny Edition Marvel or whatever they call it?

I propose that of the following 6 characters, 1 of them will get buffed:

Morrigan:
Doom:
Vergil:
Zero:
Viper:
Magneto:

Pick a hero of the 5, and if you don't get selected, your account lives. I CHOOSE ZERO.

Is it still Russian roulette if more than half the chamber is full of bullets?

Screw permabans lol

They've awoken the minions.

There is no hope.

In the HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO that a UMVC3 update is released... Capcom is going to do what it always does and nerf those characters while ALSO giving them a couple buffs to change up their style (probably something like buffing up a useless move so people actually use it now). That's pretty much what happened with Zero, Magneto and Morrigan, they both received nerfs and buffs but the net effect ended up them being buffed (because the rest of the top tiers got nerfed more and the tools they buffed became way too good).

Unless you mean that they are going to NET BUFF those characters overall... your bet will just result in 6 bans. Also I don't think GAF holds permaban bets anymore.

Edit: Just read your 2nd post. No way in fucking hell that Zero gets a net buff if there is an update. In fact, if there is an announcement over this I will take you on the bet but for Zero only and not a perma ban (avatar bet). I will also add that I will never post about Marvel again because it's not worth talking about a game that is run by complete idiots.
 
Hey Haunts/Combo/however is working at Capcom is reading this, if there is really another marvel update, please let them drop v-sync on ps3 to stop the constant complaining from players.

Holy crap... it even went as far as this...

dude the last two years of this game have been painful at best
 
As someone in SRK pointed out, aren't both of them 360 only tournaments? What if the patch wasn't out by the time the tournaments happen?

If the 360 patch doesn't come out in another 2.5 months(4 for CEO)? Not going to say it's impossible given the history SG has had with console patches, but I think it's pretty unlikely.

If that happens, then something will have to give, yeah.

EDIT: I guess it's closer to 3 and 4.5 months, really. Considering that the only thing holding up the 360 patch is MS bureaucracy at this point, it's hard to think that it won't go up for 3 months on that alone.
 
Top 3 character buffs in a hypothetical umvc3 update:

1) Let Dante's combos connect like they did vanilla. Give him his a button and skydance in the all back

2) Give Wesker his counter invincibility. Whats the point of the counter if you can interupt its startup?

3) Give Sent 1.3 mill back. He is fun to play but the fact that he dies of 1 combo is disheartening.

I'm okay with this.

Hi!

UFGT is not a 360 only tournament. We try to push to use the better versions of the games, but sometimes we yeild to the desires of a community. Last year we ran Tekken on PS3 for instance.

This year will be a mix of both consoles. The Skullgirls patch will not be a concern. Plus, we need PS3s for Divekick anyway, right? ;)
