Who would ever use W for Ryu.
I'm using W for every char at the moment, just for fun! I like having them both, and I like that they don't do a gazillion damage. I think they should have forced W for everyone. :)

Managed to have a good two hours session with two friends before leaving work; my Poison is still very rough but I'm already having a good time with her. Tagging people with her overhead, only to then early-whiff one into U2 feels GOOD! <3

Also: Hugo is fun tier!
So crappy, yet so fun to play as!

[EDIT]
Wong and PR Rog are playing the game on Rog's stream.

Just caught up with the Marvel triple act.

I can't wait to see what people come up with.

How will this affect the scene online though.
 
UMvC3 netplay ruined? No, it just got a shot of adrenalin. Flip the current meta on its head and go crazy with it. Triple Phoenix team, snap the entire team out or die.

Make it tournament legal.
I don't think you know how adrenaline works. Mahvel is like the hummingbird of fighting games. It's default mode is already on overdrive. Anymore and the engines ("balance" lol) keeping the game running falls apart.
 
The more I play Ultra the more I feel like Delay Wake Up breaks the game.

This should not be surprising. DWU is treating the symptoms of the vortex metagame, not the disease that spawned it in the first place. The disease - a plethora of stackable defensive options for upclose pressure situations and focus bogging down the neutral game - went untreated, and was actually made worse by the "cure".
 
i wouldn't mind doing hawkeye/taskmaster/hawkeye. although i would probably go with task/task/haggar.

3 Vergils vs 3 Vergils

Who can scum out a win first.

The reality is that the best teams will still be what we have already. ChrisG's team along with ZMC and most Doom/Vergil teams would still be top tier. You will just have a few more cheesy variations in the mix. I expect to see double Morrigans, double Dooms, double Vergils online because this benefits those characters the most. I would not expect to see triple character teams used seriously... I can't think of any triple team that would actually be good (best is triple Vergil but only because it guarantees dark Vergil.. not because of some innate synergy with multiple Vergils). Triple Doom team might be decent too but if you are against a full team of Doom you just counter pick with one character and rip him apart.
 
Enjoying playing Ultra so far, delayed wake up is coming in pretty handy versus the other new mechanics thus far. I haven't spent much time playing the new characters to form an opinion, sticking to Sakura / Ibuki for now.

Are Sakura's combos still the same for the most part?
 
Playing more Ultra now that classes are done for the day. Messing around with Evil Ryu some more.

Still working on getting LK Axe Kick FADC cr LP link down.
 
After actually playing I still feel the same way about Poison as I did before. Players that get down her spacing and links are going to own.
