Skullgirls is so unpopular, she's losing a popularity contest to VVVVV

SolarPowered, rally the troops

 

[Nyoro SF]

Not to mention getting all the voice actors back for character name call outs...

Yes. People overlook this a lot too.

It's how you know that the 8 "new" characters for UMvC3 were all done or almost-done already to be released as MvC3; you REALLY don't want to call in voice actors twice for a re-record for character name call-outs. Same goes for the announcer guy too. Gotta finish everything in one go.

Remember SFxT and how Blanka was leaked to be in the game almost 6 months before release, and that the person in the video had "just finished up his lines" for Blanka? This shit takes time, it takes a lot of money and coordination, and you're not going to try to do it again out of development sequence if you can help it.

If they really do release a DLC characters for UMvC3's revision, you can expect that they've actually been working on them for a while, or are sitting on completed characters for release.

The same goes for USF4. I anticipate that the new character is close to done or pretty much already done, and that the "SFxT 4" making their way over were actually planned to be in SF4 to begin with.

I guess what I'm trying to say is... fighting game development takes a long time, is expensive, and the developers always lie about how far along in development they actually are. ALWAYS.

If Capcom finally got the license back they are going to try and make money off of it.

that doesn't really make scene. they are gonna spend money for the license, then spend more money on making characters to try to make a profit? That's not very feasible, especially for a Japanese company

Balance patch = spent money, got nothing.
Balance patch with characters = spent money, got money.

It seems simple enough to me. Not that I'm taking a side in this debate.

 

[JDdelphin]

They should find a way to Phoenix so Fchamp doesn't get bodied by everyone.

Seriously though, enough of this 'make it better for everyone' stuff.

How can the game be balanced so Champ can stop looking silly against real competition?

MY TRAIN KEEP STOPPIN, DAWG

 

[chriskun]

It's too late for a UMvC3 patch. By the time any patch comes, this game will not hold much relevance outside of the tournament scene.

I'd highly prefer a new 3v3 game (Capcom All-Stars, Nintendo vs. Capcom, etc - whatever fits the 3v3 gameplay system). Doesn't have to be marvel again. But there needs to be a new game from Capcom, not a patch, that can reinvigorate the gameplay. A new game will gather a lot more interest from casual players as well. A patch is (for the large part and especially this late) only going to interest those that are still playing this game/have invested a lot of time learning the game.

Just my opinion.

The game has sold relatively well after launch, capcom said so themselves. Theres also a shit ton of people that play the game online, not to mention it getting the most views at evo

That is not how Capcom works.

They've done it twice before.

Yeah? Well my dad is capcom and he says OTHERWISE

 

[fader]

They've done it twice before.

Should I dare to hope that this marvel patch is actually going to happen?

buff Hsienko, nerf Hidden missiles

[Karsticles]

The most expensive part of a Marvel patch will be the license acquisition.

 

[Kumubou]

I would imagine the conversation to get permission to patch would go something like this: Capcom would show footage of Zero, Vergil and Morrigan destroying every Marvel character in the cast to Marvel, and then ask them if they really want to see this happen for the next decade. The smart thing to do would be for Marvel to just let them update it (probably while demanding characters they want to push get buffed -- what are the next Marvel movies to be released?) and then just fix it... but licensing is almost never that straightforward.

 

[FlyFaster]

don't watch a patch for marvel, I want a new game with more characters.

 

[kirblar]

The logical progression is DS4, "Vs" series follow up, SF5. You save the biggest gun for last.

[the_log_ride]

Internet was shit at the convention grounds. Posting what I remember from the panel. Not sure if anything was posted yet. Here goes:

Panel started showcasing new products, including Sanrio x Streetfighter plushies/figures, shirts, statues, comics etc.

Announcement made about a collaboration with artist Ron English to make some pop-art inspired streetfighter pieces that will probably make their way onto shirts or prints.

Quick bit about some more tourneys / invitationals for the upcoming year.

They confirmed that filming had just begun on the Assassin's fist movie. They aired some 'making-of' footage. This film looks GOOD. The directors seem to know their stuff, and want to stay as true to the source material as they can. I'm looking forward to this.

They aired a teaser for US4 that they said was only aired for Japan previously. Showed some more footage of the SFxTekken-ported characters and teased the 5th character again. Detailed all the pricing/preorder info that was showed during the EVO trailer.

SF inspired costume pageant. Little girl dressed up as Chun won on the ladies' side, and a dude dressed as Rolento won for the guys. Honorable mention to an Asian guy dressed up as Dudley. Ono tries to enter dressed as Chun.

Q&A:

Someone asks "when's Mahvel?" People laugh.

Question re: if umvc3 will get a balance update. Ono tried to shrug it off. Says they saw footage from EVO and think things can be changed here and there. Asks the FGC to talk about it, put it out there. Still seems like nothing may come from it. Feels like Capcom want to sit on their money rather than spend money on effort for marvel.

Question asked about 5th character for US4. Crowd says they want a girl. Someone yells from the front row for a girl character with more than 1000hp.

Someone asked if 5th character is one that is already in any other Capcom games. Ono says it's not Strider Hiryu. I swear I heard someone say that it wasn't Asura, either.

Question from a guy to Combofiend about any other changes he can share. Combo asks him for which character, and he asks for Zangief details. Combo says that EX green hand knocks down (hard or soft knockdown not specified I think). Also says that non-EX green hands sped up.

Panel ends thereafter. I approach Combo and ask about Sim changes. He says there are tweaks to up flame, as well as yoga flame. Regarding yoga flame he mentioned that distance (whether distance of reach or distance it knocks opponent away I'm not sure). Acknowledged that he had 2 hits on standing mk.

That's all. If someone else was there please correct or supplement what I may have missed. Apologies for typos. Typed hastily on iPhone.

 

[Edgeward]

Dammit, you should have asked him about Sagat!

 

[Rice-Eater]

No one asked about Evil Ryu

You think he would answer if I begged him on Twitter?

Did the tease any hints or did they just say "unknown 5th character to be announced down the road"?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Wow, good buffs for Sim. People won't be so focus happy. Wonder if upflame will have hard knockdown

Sorry man. I wanted to ask a question during the q&a but was too slow to get to the mic. Figured that combo wouldn't mind sharing details about Sim because only like 9 people play him globally.

 

[enzo_gt]

We were hoping you'd work with the Marvel OT to direct discussion there. Post the week's patch topic in the FGW thread to help keep people abreast of the situation.

I suppose posting the week's discussion topic under special events would be reasonable. I'll see what I can do.

Skullgirls is so unpopular, she's losing a popularity contest to VVVVV

SolarPowered, rally the troops

I think I've played VVVVVV and Skullgirls for equal amounts of time and definitely had more fun playing VVVVVV. That game is a gem, though I'm too shit at it to finish it (I think I only need one more collectible thingy).

snip

Thanks for the info. Stoked to see more of Assassin's Fist (I guess current BTS stuff is only visible by backers).

Any specifics on the comics though?

Polygon has been consistently putting out great FGC features for a long, long time now. I have a feeling someone on their staff is really into the FGC.

Champ mentioned all his changes on his stream. Some guy at SRK posted it. These aren't confirmed, but I guess it's not out of the question that Combo told Champ everything about Sim

Yoga Blast no longer has HKD, but has a bigger hitbox, almost everything got buffed damage, especially EX Yoga Flame, he said it does like 190 now or something absurd. Yoga flame has less pushback on block. Far HP has more hitstun so it trades less if you try doing 2 in a row. Better anti airs. He said the only nerf is that you can't do Ultra 1 while a yoga fire is on the screen, but he has both ultra's now so it doesn't matter.

EDIT: I forgot he also said that his lk and mk slides are no longer punishable on hit, and the already known 2 hit s.mk.

All I have to look forward to so far is LK tatsu moving farther forward, whoopie. Give me some real buffs Capcom :/

 

[the_log_ride]

No hints on trailer, but like I said, I think they said it wasn't gonna be Asura.

Edit: just remembered another tidbit about this. They said the eventual reveal would be hype as hell. But then again what else are they gonna say?

Shit it's gonna be haggar huh? Lol

 

[Edgeward]

st lk cancellable
slightly increased range on cr mk
no longer fall out of U1 when done in the corner

That's all I ask and I would be shocked if I even get one of them. =(

but he has both ultra's now so it doesn't matter.

wat.

 

[Karsticles]

We are working out suggested changes for the following Marvel characters this week:
Phoenix
Phoenix Wright
She-Hulk
Wolverine

I welcome anyone who has insight into these characters to post their suggestions in the Marvel OT.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Another thing Champ mentioned is that you have the option of using both your Ultras in a match. But both will be nerfed considerably, I'm assuming this only means damage and not frames because that would be weird. I think that could work, someone like Sagat for example having U1 for only a max of 300 damage and U1 for a max of 230 damage(I took away about 40% damage from each Ultra).

 

[Lost Fragment]

Holy motherfuck you guys are getting way too excited over this supposed Marvel patch.

The amount of salt is going to be unbelievable when grapplers become top tiers in USF4.

The characters that have a ultra that's easy to combo into or land(like 0 frame grabs) with their other ultra either shutting down fireballs or jumps are going to be extremely annoying. Characters like Gief, Hawk, Cammy, Sagat, Yun, and Gouken are going to be a pain in the ass to deal with.

Hakan, Gief, Hawk, and HUGO to be god tier. I'm going to snap the disc in half if I have to fight those all day in rank.

 

[xCobalt]

I can understand people being excited about it but when you start coming up with all these detailed system and balance changes based off of one small statement...it's rather absurd. Minions are crazy lol

 

[Edgeward]

Cammy and Fei having their counter ultras on top of their good ultras are gonna be so shitty to play against.

Can't be real. no no no no no no

I wish there was some way I could positively prevent the game from ever getting patched... you guys are cray.

wtf...Fchamp is seriously asking for donation to get to VxG???

and holding the nemo match hostage.

On last week's stream he said he hadn't received his ticket yet, which they were supposed to send before.

Asking for donations to go to the beach though? SMH at FChamp of all people.
