Almost every ending had a cameo.

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

I want Donovan, but tha's okay if we get L.Raptor.

I also have seen some awesome places for new stages, like the savage land and stuff like that. It ould also be awesome.

I would pay $10 for 4 characters and 2 new stages, but I know that's too much to ask.

Hell I'd rather have Demitri over lord Raptor too but if the endings are anything to go on the characters I've seen so far would be pretty bad ass. Still needs Strider though and if Volnutt makes it in for the love of god give him a a helmet or a classic Rockman alt for DLC. He was pretty interesting in TvC.

 

[MoxManiac]

In the Dante ending

Spoiler

Ghost Rider

makes an appearance. God I hope he doesn't show up as DLC later. One of Marvel's worst characters.

I'm no fan of Ghost Rider, but why do you think he is so bad?

 

[Square Triangle]

I'm no fan of Ghost Rider, but why do you think he is so bad?

Well he may not make a bad fighter for MvC3 but his story and origin is just really boring. Not too mention Nicolas Cage ruined any hope of the character.

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Nicholas Cage? In all seriousness I always liked his design but never found him to be a particularly deep character.

 

[Jarlaxle]

If any other terrible 360 Gaffer's feel like playing later tonight, I'll be on in about 3 hours or so. My GT is Jarlaxle. My record so far is 3-12. Be prepared to win.

 

[MThanded]

Yeah but with shipping, at least $15 from Amazon. So a savings of $5, wow. Unless you have prime. FSSS is $25 minimum.

I have free prime because I have an edu email address. Also there is not tax.

Tax here is 7 percent so the guide would cost me 20*1.07 = $21.4

21.4 -11.55 = 9.85

Savings of $9.85 is a pretty good deal.

Also I had 90 dollars in amazon credit but I'm not even gonna take that into account.

 

[dankir]

oh, for those of you working your way up to Thor's Mission 10: the second to last move is listed as a "fully charged H Mighty Smash." which leads into a Mighty Tornado. This means you have to hold down H in order to charge, then link to the Tornado.

After spending a fucking hour on perfecting every part (it's simple now), I was still stuck on charging that Smash before the dummy woke up and ended the combo (you're supposed to be able to hit them with the charged Smash while on the ground to continue the combo, according to the Mission details).

Solution: don't charge the Mighty Smash. The instructions are wrong and will only lead to you wasting lifetime unnecessarily. Just do a regular H Mighty Smash and link to Mighty Tornado. The end.

Lol I found that one easy, it was the Air H xx in Air M Mighty strike that was hard for me.

Honestly the hardest move for me in the entire game is the reverse DP. ESPECIALLY in the middle of a combo chain.

I can't do it consistently enough

Stage DLC is a must. We need Maverick bases too (any background from the MMX series would be nice).

What's your team and what's your style?

You want maximum synergy with your team. Like for example, Spider Man can get around the area well enough but he lacks a good OTG move to go into his Ultimate Web Throw. Adding in Wesker's Low Gun shot assist will help him combo OTG into his supers and also allow for high/low mix ups.

Or like Justin has it with Wolverine/Akuma. Wolverine can't combo OTG after his slide (unless he uses a super which is different) but with Akuma he can OTG, use Akuma's Hurrican assist which catches the opponent and then allows Wolverine to dash in and combo again.

Some assists are defensive in nature. Trish's traps, Dante's anti air (one of the best anti-airs in the game). Tron's flame help you to get the enemy off your back.

It really depends on who you want on screen the most and get assists to back him up. Here are some assists which I believe are excellent in this game overall:

*Sentinel's Drones
*Doom's Rocks and Hidden Missiles.
*Wesker's Low Gun Shot
*Tron's Flame
*Chun-Li's Lightning Kicks
*Zero's Anti-Air (when used with his clone hyper it gives invulnerability)
*Hsien-Ko's Swinging assist (with gold armor hyper it is invulnerable)
*Haggar's lariat (deals self damage but still a really good assist with invulnerability)
*Morrigan and Amaterasu's meter building assists (good for teams that need a lot of hyper gauge)
*Amaterasu's Cold Shots
*Dante's Jam Session
*C.Vipers flame kick
*Akuma's Hurricane Kick
*Super Skrull Tenderizer
*Deadpool's Katanarama
*Arthur's Bottle toss (with Gold armor it's a really sick assist)
*Thor Mighty Smash

Dormammu's assist is god-tier because it can be any one of those "spells" that he summons on his hands. One of those ties the opponent to the ground (roots them) for EASY grapples/throws.

Great Assist List! What about Storm's whirlwind, she-hulk's tornado and X-23's ankle slicer?

*RUNS BACK TO THE LAB*

Word. I had simply been assuming that I had to follow the mission details explicitly...which lead me to keep trying to charge the Mighty Strike (because it said to! lol)

Anyway, I guess I should be set going forward, because I do the reverse DP from that combo and others on fucking command. I suppose doing that for 3 hours straight will do that. Only combos I'm having trouble with involve going from a low to a straight attack...I almost input a qcf causing the wrong move 80% of the time. Taskmaster's level 7 is an example, iirc. I can't NOT do the qcf. lol

 

[dralla]

Great Assist List! What about Storm's whirlwind, she-hulk's tornado and X-23's ankle slicer?

Any assist that hits low is great for rush down characters like Mag/Storm/Chun, ect. I believe Ankle Slicer hits low?

and I vastly prefer Skrulls orbital grudge assist, it's basically a not-as-good-version of chuns LL assist. still good in its own right

That's a steal. Go for it if you're on the fence.

 

[LowParry]

Doom is turning more and more to my liking

 

[Ploid 3.0]

A really awesome MVC3 101

apologies if old

It's good to see even the pros have problems with the dragon punch motion. Guess I should stop trying to do it consistently, probably won't happen.

 

[Threi]

an easy way to get it down is just choose tron, your opponent sentinel, and practice juggling him with M bonne strike.

 

[Papercuts]

6236 should not come out as a DP, but it does. Really annoying.

 

[Fruitster]

Doom does indeed rule. And he has some of the finest victory put downs in the game. Classic old school villainy.

 

[McNum]

It's good to see even the pros have problems with the dragon punch motion. Guess I should stop trying to do it consistently, probably won't happen.

Heh, yeah. I caught that, too. I guess part of it is also how convincing you can make it look at what you did was totally on purpose. Not that I'm anywhere near their execution level, just good to see that even the top aren't 100%. Make it slightly less daunting to try to master if 80-90% is fine.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Doom is turning more and more to my liking

Just thinking about the big bruisers...i find it kinda tough to switch from fast characters (X23) to slow combo characters. I guess I'll just get used to it over time?

I think half of my problem is accepting that I can input moves slower. Especially with Hulk/Thor/Doom types...but also when comboin off of naturally slow combos (like Wolvies standing l, m, h combo. That last hot just comes out slow. Gotta tell the Ming to wait before going into the drillclaw or the 3rd hit gets cancelled.

Messes with me wen my mind wants to go in Turbo mode.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Yeah I just might, need all the help I need.

Thanks

 

[smurfx]

hahaha got my revenge on salva right now. yesterday he beat me like 9-1 and right now i fed him some haggar pipe and went 2-0.

PSN scrub GAF...

PLEASE FRIEND ME!

I'm tired of getting my ass handed to me over and over and then having the pleasure of navigating the shitty matchmaking system only to get demolished again.

PSN: GatorEsq

I'll add you. B-Dex.

 

[nilbog21]

at which part of the video do they start talking about the DP motion?

 

[Threi]

more people on the doomtrain?

excellent.


also: doom isn't slow.


No way.

 

[Teknoman]

Just realized that MvC 3 has multiple opening movies *_* Was wondering what happened to the other cg movies a few minutes ago too. Nice that they fit in a sort of story sequence too.

 

[Kyoufu]

I want to join scrub GAF. psn name same as user name.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

No way.

Speed is relative. Compared to X23 just about everyone is slow.

 

[McNum]

They don't discuss DP in particular, but they're demonstrating how Assists can keep special properties when they're tagged out. They use Hsien-Ko's Hyper Armor, which is is dragon punch motion. They mess it up a couple of times before they get her to go golden.

 

[smurfx]

anybody on xbox live wanna battle? add me SmurfxZilla. learning how to lay some haggar pipe so be prepared to eat some.

 

[The Antitype]

Nicholas Cage? In all seriousness I always liked his design but never found him to be a particularly deep character.

He's kind of a victim of being a second-tier character. A lot of great writers have worked on the book on their way up, but every time they get on a roll and the character starts getting interesting, the writer is moved off the book onto something that makes more money.

He's had his moments though.

And really, character depth means nothing in an MvC game. Just think off all the cool moves they could do with the chains, spikes, fire, motorcycles, etc.

 

[X26]

Think I'm done with ranked matches. Between all the cheap play and capcom's horrible matchmaking (why allow you do set it to same rank if you're constantly up against people with ridiculous records?) it;s not worth all the stress and frustration in brings me.

Will stick solely to player matches now, although people take that way too seriously too :/

 

[smurfx]

omg! fuck phoenix.

 

[The Antitype]

omg! fuck phoenix.

I'm trying to learn her right now in training. She's so good at linking moves together, but damn is she weak. Like four punches from the Hulk = death.

Just wait for the network fix I say.

Oh and anyone know where I can find a bigger version of this:

Pops up at the end of the last story CG sequence.

Cover her with H tk shots before you rush down.

Yeah. And I'm practicing opportunities to switch her in to deal damage and immediately switch her out to protect her.

[smurfx]

dude wtf dante can chain his max as many times as he wants? that is bullshit.

 

[Papercuts]

Haha, X-23's Weapon X Prime hyper is hilarious. I was fullscreen away from a trish that was spamming her projectiles so I activated it to run through it, he DHC'd into akuma shooting fireballs as X-23 gave not a single fuck and kept running and killed him.

It's similar to BIONIC ARRRMMMMMM but a lot of people don't seem to know that yet.

 

[Hugbot]

Holy god the menus/networking. Why would it kick me back to the main menu when it can't connect me to my opponent? The game is gold covered in shit.

Loving all the hatemail Sent is getting me though.

 

[spindashing]

Uber salty, I lost several times to my sister's boyfriend. I was to used to offline play, I figured online would not lag.. =(

Ah well. 5-10 ain't bad right? I still need a solid team. I like Joe and Spencer...

Online is like being underwater, I always need a game to adjust.

5 ranked win in a row. Pretty good.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Can someone explain something to me about using an arcade stick. I bought a SF Tournament Edition stick for the 360 a while ago and im trying to use it with this game. But the buttons are all fucked up or something. Like no matter what i try the buttons in the configuration menu are not matching up to what im pressing. Im basically pressing the LB button to switch to a partner and it does nothing. I cant really explain. Its not that the buttons are broke they are just re-directing all over the place. The only buttons that seem consistent are the A and B buttons. Maybe the X and Y also...

 

[Ledsen]

Yeah it has quite a lot of invincibility. It's not super fast but when it's out, she goes through everything. I don't think it goes full screen though.

 

[mintylurb]

I've been playing both versions of mvc3 for a bit now and have to say the ps3 version lags quite a bit behind the 360 version.

Although the 360 version drops a few frames here and there, most notably during intros, it maintains a smooth frame rate during game play. In the ps3 version, I've noticed frame drops during intros, assists, team combos and effects heavy special moves. Just doing phoenix's healing field will cause the ps3 version to drop frames.

Well, at least the ps3 version seems to be free of screen tearing while the 360 version mostly tears during intros, team combos. If you have a choice, go with the 360 version.

Sony really should enable the ps3's 8th core!
