From what I keep seeing/hearing, you can kill Phoenix easily in one combo, but on the other hand, she can easily OCV an entire team at full health.
 
damn, sentinel really is looking completely broken, how does stuff like this get through their testing, its so glaringly obvious. Not looking forward to seeing every team with Sentinel in it, brings back flashbacks of Vanilla SF4 and Sagat. My excitement for this game has taken another dip.
 
imo the game SHOULD be more about out-thinking and having better strategies than your opponent, rather than who can remember the longest button string. I understand those who are for both, but that's just locking out a huge amount of players who don't have time to dedicate 14 hours a day to master this shit.
 
sentinel himself isn't so bad, but sentinel in conjunction with arthur and storm looks tough.

still i don't think sentinel is as powerful in this game as he was in mvc2 because the rest of the cast has improved

I understand what you're saying, but you're saying it isn't' fair that Justin can out-execution everyone. That is to say that execution shouldn't matter, when it most certainly should. If I'm a more skilled player than you I should be able to do combos that you shouldn't. Meta game is a another story. But then I guess this is a philisophical difference as to whether you think of mvc as a fighter or rts.
I'm absolutely not saying it "isn't fair" that JWong can out-execute everyone else.

Execution is part of the formula of being a great player. But the fact of the matter is, execution (at least at the moment) isn't as big of a factor in being good at MvC3 as it was in MvC2. That's just the reality of the game. Since execution isn't as big a factor, to rise above everyone else players are going to need to step up other aspects of their game.
 
Fuck the town I live in. I went to the two Wal-marts in town to see if they were holding the midnight tournament Monday night and both weren't. Then I went to Best Buy to get some hands on and of the 4 Xbox set ups, none of them had it. It had one system not doing shit, two systems with Kinect, but no Kinect sensor, and the last one just had the thing stuck at the dashboard.

100% lame. Oh and they just closed down the Gamestop I was using since I moved here at the mall. Now I gotta figure out where the hell the other one is. I ended up pre ordering at Best Buy.

Anyone else have any luck on that tournament at their local Wal-Mart or is literally none of them taking part in it and Capcom is trolling us ?

MvC3's combos are easy mode. Mid-tier players are going to be able to execute combos that can kill a character off with one punish. Meta game tactics are going to end up overshadowing execution quickly with this game. This isn't MvC2 where if you couldn't execute a ROM or fly/unfly, you were pretty much fucked in high level play. The door is wide open at Evo for the next couple years until the dust settles and everyone has a strong understanding of this game.

A lot of people are forgetting that MVC2 went through a billion transition / team phases until standards were discovered and later evolved. I don't think MVC3 will have this kind of life, but yeah..

There's one scheduled here in Albuquerque on Monday at a Wal-Mart.
 
I wish spooky was more clear, its almost impossible to tell if he is being positive or negative about something with his incessant slang talk.

I've always felt like Sagat has to be the the best character in the game, and I think it's the same thing with Sentinel. Their designs imply both strength and reach, so if Capcom goes out of their way to weaken them, it just seems dumb (SSFIV Sagat).

And that's really what this game is actually about on top tier level since everyone already knows how to do those long string button combos.

It's just happening so fast that you don't have time to think or strategize, so it becomes more reflex based on hard experience. But the thought process in a MVC game is very much involving.

Ok I agree with you here, I guess when you said "find out who the REALLY good fighting game players are" it seemed like you were undermining the use of good execution in a fighting game and that only meta game should ever matter which I believe is a given.
 
ok Spencer is officially second confirmed slot, i will make him and skrull WORK.

Not really that hype on the shehulk train (will probably switch her in for specific matchups)

anyone got any ideas for a 3rd? I assume someone quick like x-23
 
After watching Maximillians ranked match footage I'm totally in love with Wesker.

What a beast, I was hoping for more Las Plagas in his moveset but whatever!


YOU MEAN NOTHING TO ME!
 
Yeah Tax sucks but. We live in America. Pay taxes so people don't break into your house and kill you. So yeah pay tax.

I'm officially a Sp00ky fan now.

Intentionally over powering a character based on design is a horribly moronic way to approach a game that should be balanced. It's almost as dumb as the vagina tax.

felicia looks awesome if you're looking for a rush character.

i wish these guys would pick some other people. i want to see thor and chris but no one really plays with them. they probably suck :(

doesn't she hulk have guiles air kick? seems like capcom eliminated a lot of the characters from mvc2 but incorporated their moves into some of the new people

It wont have that kinda of life cause balance patches and possibly even new iterations will change up everything, and itll sell well so a sequel will happen.
 
OK this bad netplay discussion on spookys stream is pissing me off. Tell me streaming does not affect your netplay most of the time. That is not scientific in the least bit. Want to be scientific do some throughput tests and check your router's quality of service setting. Bet its setup to prioritize video streaming.
 
JWong crying is so fucking hilarious. After years of picking one of the most BROKEN teams in MvC2, he's complaining about MvC3? What a fucking punk.
 
I'm really loathing playing as any of the cartoonier characters, just like in MvC2, particularly the smaller ones like Amaterasu or Arthur. Just feels wonky, takes me out of the fighting game feel and into a party game zone. Feels like Smash Bros. =/

seems like he is mad as he thinks they have dumbed it down so regular players can compete. oh well!

But Viewtiful Joe is serious business, right?

Right? =(

Right? ;_;
 
I really wish I wasn't so bad at this game...

For a game thats supposed to be less execution heavy than other games, its making me really disappointed I can't do a whole lot. Then again, I never seriously played MvC2, so I'll just practice my hands off til I can actually do some damage.

If anyone has any good Cap bread and butters, please let me know

Also, if someone could let me know how to do that Dante bread and butter where he does the spin attack in the air, lands and does his shooting hyper, that would be great too (I mostly want to know what air attacks before that air spin move to do)
 
LOL Doom takes out an almost full Hsien-Ko with one LVL3 Hyper while being on LVL3 X Factor.

Doom OP god tier WTF is Capcom thinking etc.

(He still lost the game because the other guy had a full team)

:lol wha? So a regular sized Arthur would be srs business but because he's short it like a "party game?" It's just height. What's the difference playing with huge characters like Sentinal?

So is this confirmed to be all the characters? No secret character unlocks or any stupid bullshit like that right?

Yes, Akuma, Sent, Hsienko, and Taskmaster are the only unlockables, nothing else after them
