For those looking for a solid multi-console Fight Stick adapter without modding I took one for the team and I'm impressed. Seems to work great without noticeable lag on my new Mad Catz Chun-Li TE stick and I'd consider myself to be a slightly elevated scrub ( definitely not an expert ) but I think I'd be able to tell if there was a great deal of lag. This is actually the second revision of the hardware Cross Battle Plus not the 1.0 version without rumble that you may have seen reviewed on Shoryuken. Milage may vary and who knows if older hardware affected the initial reviews but on my newish PS3-Slim its great for the price. Only going with four stars since I'm not an expert frame counter but I think this is probably good enough for non-tournament level players.

Also posted this review to Amazon.

I nominate Haunts to throw together the Official Mahvel 3 playlist!

 

[Papercuts]

I'll be very disappointed if we don't have OT2 by the time the game is out.

 

[Beelzeboss]

oh man this is really happening

 

[DY_nasty]

Dark Phoenix, the chick with the golden arms!

BONG BONG

 

[Chamber]

Dark Phoenix, the chick with the golden arms!

BONG BONG

She looks nasty. Still think she's gonna be a monster in the right hands with the right strategy.

 

[DR2K]

Where is everyone seeing Phoenix?

 

[Aaronology]

While searching for more mvc3 stuff I came across some awesome (albeit old) TE stick artwork from Shadowloo. I don't plan to mod my stick until I'm sure which characters I'm most fond of, but these are giving me some ideas:

MOTHERFUCKER, YEAH

 

[mysticwhip]

Is an Arcade stick required for serious play?

Ass quality but it's better than nothing.

 

[LeMaximilian]

Power of Dormammu getting exposed on the stream. And he's only using 1/4th his capacity without power of creator/destructor. People can't sleep on Dorm.

 

[Manus]

Tron is one of my favorite game characters ever, largely due to how much I loved Mega Man Legends. I'm super glad she's back.

On another note, a few more avatars:

Rehost if you claim any.

Taking this one, since I don't think anyone claimed her.

decent play, but low resolution

edit: bah, beaten

 

[Imm0rt4l]

yea despite her only having 420k health, she's apparently one of those characters where you have to really try not to get hit fighting against her.

 

[El Sloth]

Is an Arcade stick required for serious play?

No. Just watch videos of SSIV Tourney players Wolfkrone or Vangief to see why. But it wouldn't hurt to try one out and see if you're more comfortable playing with it.

 

[Bob White]

Is an Arcade stick required for serious play?

I honestly used to think that an arcade stick was absolutely necessary but awesome pad users like Vangief and Wolfkrone are fucking awesome players. They do MORE than I can on a fucking stick. It's all up to the player.

 

[enzo_gt]

Does it involve Doom Bots?

Spoiler

It always involves Doom Bots.

This made me LOL so hard.

Holy fuck GAF I go to class for 3 hours and theres like 300 posts in that time? Is this the most fucking hyped game in the world or what?!

Further proof Chappelle Show is the greatest show ever created. I swear every skit is my favourite. Wu Tang Financial: You need to diversify your bonds. It's like Bong Bong you know? Shame on you rest of GAF Hop for invading Gaming with your Wu arguments.

Though it has made me update Team Def Jam:

Iron Man
Wesker Flocka Flame
Z-RO

With Dante [insert Mos Def's last name here] as a switch in.

 

[spindashing]

MegaMan: "Yo, y'all thought y'all wasn't gonna see me? I'm the DLC of this shit. Mahvel is here forever, motherfucka. It's like this Marvel 2... A'ight my Zeros and my Tron Bonnes. Let's run it back like this. I'ma rub your ass in the DHC. Let's take it back to Marvel 1..."

MODOK: "I troll atomically, Magneto philosophies/ and hypotheses can't be blockin how I be spamming these
mockeries/ casually perform mango robbery.."

Why would anyone put ryu on a mvc3 stick? Wait, he's in MVC3? hmm...well the more you know.

Wesker gun shot to the ground assist is too sick.

 

[DY_nasty]

The game of mahvel, is like a sword fight...

MegaMan: "Yo, y'all thought y'all wasn't gonna see me? I'm the DLC of this shit. Mahvel is here forever, motherfucka. It's like this Marvel 2... A'ight my Zeros and my Tron Bonnes. Let's run it back like this. I'ma rub your ass in the DHC. Let's take it back to Marvel 1..."

Ryu's gonna be ass

Daigo need to play marvel and use Ryu and win with him.

 

[sixteen-bit]

it hits low

so if you strike with an overhead, it causes an unblockable

 

[Papercuts]

Kinda late but since there's so much activity in this thread it's easy to miss, I added the GAF MvC3 GT.

Mine is Fatal X Fate, though I need to clear some room since I keep hitting the damn friend cap.

 

[Neki]

Hits them off the ground too, so you can use it to extend into another combo or hyper combo that doesn't hit low.

 

[MThanded]

IT can knock someone off the ground so you can then land a move that would not land with them on the ground. He can make up for character with weak OTG(on the ground game).

 

[K.Sabot]

"Akuma's divekick is an overhead and it can be used at any height."

Swag

 

[Yoshichan]

it hits low

so if you strike with an overhead, it causes an unblockable

and I take it you can combo with overheads in this one?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Akumas dive kick is an overhead confirmed, reminds me of vanilla gouken before capcom took away his best fucking mixup.

 

[rocK`]

soo hype!

 

[El Sloth]

Daigo need to play marvel and use Ryu and win with him.

Well I remember Tokido said he wanted to pick up MvC3 and specifically said he was gonna body some dude talking shit on his blog. So we can expect some Akuma shenanigans. I think he also mentioned that Daigo was interested in it too*.

Spoiler

Interested in winning dat prize money

 

[Crateman]

I love that us Mexicans are the KOF fans

 

[MThanded]

Haggar has an unblockable launcher.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

finally i can hang out with the black crowd! suck it down losers!

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Daigo need to play marvel and use Ryu and win with him.

I wonder how much clout he would have in who people selected for teams, if he were to play and be competitive. I know Tokido's gonna play, and Daigo is at least somewhat interested.

 

[corrosivefrost]

it hits low

so if you strike with an overhead, it causes an unblockable

also hits OTG, I think, as a combo extender, especially for characters who don't have something that bounces OTG opponents back up in the air.

 

[Neki]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyQf4Un9bKM#t=3m28s
from the hype video, Wesker uses his OTG attack and x-factors, canceling his attack and letting him hyper combo, which he cancels into Iron Man lvl3 which is a grab. not used an assist here, but it's the basic idea.

 

[corrosivefrost]

"Akuma's divekick is an overhead and it can be used at any height."

He was on my short list of characters to check out.
This is good news indeed.

Can you give a little more detail of how it works between consoles? PS3 to 360? 360 to PS3?

Freenix's normals cause chip? lol

Ms. Phoenix if ya nasty.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I think as of right now I'm interested in Dante, Phoenix and wesker. Might exchange one of em' for a more tankish character.

Moved to the new page.

We may as well jump straight to OT2 after that one
