lol, until you play something that actually knows how to hold back. then what you call "exploiting" characters is really you not playing anyone decent. Exploiting characters is using their abilities to their full potential, not spamming 1 super bar. We call those people scrubs.supasmashed said:

I would use Thor, but I really hate his character. It's unbelievably cheap that Marvel would rip off an entire mythology and sell it as a comic.
I know the feeling. Just two days ago I realized all the amazing things Dormammu can do with Jam Session; bye-bye Dr. Doom. Hopefully Shuma-Gorath can replace Sentinel.
Deadpool is an awesome partner for Dormammu.
Phoenix is undoubtedly better. Dormammu's has more versatility than Dante's, and he can still combo out of it just fine if you use the right assist; he also recovers faster. Deadpool's explodes every third time, but you can combo off of the explosion and it's screen-dependent rather than character-dependent. Wesker can't anti-air, but he can undoubtedly play mindgames with his teleports more than any other character in this game. I'm not saying Dante's teleport is bad, I'm just saying it's arguably the worst.
If you want to consider assists, all of the teleports become more equal; Dante, Dormammu, and Phoenix can all combo off of Plasma Beam. Wesker can too, as long as he is in range. Deadpool is situational, obviously.
It has a 10 frame startup with 20 frames of recovery. Dormammu's is 13 startup with 17 recovery. Phoenix's is 10 startup with 20 recovery. I forget Wesker's, but I think it's something like 12 startup with 19 recovery or something - I remember it being slightly slower than the others in total frames needed for completion. I don't know Deadpool's. Unlike all of these, Dante's can only go to one spot, and it's more choreographed.
The people complaining are the low-level players.
It would be kind of silly to only make costumes for 6 characters. Niitsuma said the goal is DLC every 2 weeks; I doubt that will all be characters. I hope it will not just be Shadow Mode DLC, because I will cry like a little girl.
I love this.

Glad to, but I know I'll forget by the time I get home - my PSN is Karsticles if you want to send me a reminder.
There really aren't many similarities between the two outside of character names and locations. Marvel has spent the last 50 years constructing an original history for their Thor. Much the same, I wouldn't call Shakespeare "unbelievably cheap" for doing the same thing with most of his plays.Karsticles said:
Since there are 30 Shadow Battle titles and 50 Event titles, you might want to start crying now.Karsticles said:
That's enough; I'm aware they didn't steal the plotline, otherwise Ragnarok and yada yada would have occurred. I don't judge actions, I judge the spirit behind those actions; the Shakespeare analogy simply does not apply for me.
Capcom can add all the Shadows they want, just as long as it's not the only thing we get. Until we actually know what "events" are, I see no need to complain about them. They could be cool, they could be trash.

I still haven't found a team I'm really comfortable with. Ideally, I'd like to use my favorite source material characters: Arthur, Haggar, and M.O.D.O.K.; but I'm not getting the synergy from them that I would have liked. There are a lot of characters I've played who really mesh well with my playing style, but since I couldn't care less about them outside of MvC I don't feel compelled to put them on my team. It doesn't help that I haven't put much time into the game I've probably played for five hours total over the past week. Still, it's a really good game at its core, but as somebody who plays primarily offline and is quick to bore, its selection of modes does little for me. I don't know... I think I was expecting something a little different. It feels like Capcom made the game with the tournament scene in mind without realizing that the tournament scene constitutes an incredibly small percentage of the game's target audience.Karsticles said:
I have a minor in religious studies, and my degree focused on Greek philosophy - I am well aware of the origins of mythologies. I maintain my position, and ask that you take it as no sign of disrespect that I opt to end the conversation here.
I know the feeling. Just last night I decided I really like Sentinel/Dormammu/Dante (don't I look unique), but I still want to remain open to Shuma-Gorath, just because he looks so good for Dormammu.
That's hilarious! I'm going through and playing 30 matches with each character to get all the titles (OCD about that stuff), and one of the teams I made is Arthur/MODOK/Haggar. I'm actually digging the team a lot after losing my first 6 matches straight. I ended up going with Arthur (Daggers)/MODOK (Psionic Blast)/Haggar (Double Lariat). I actually try to make Arthur my last character if I'm not doing well, because Gold Armor Arthur with level 3 X-Factor spamming arrows is so strong. I tried other assist combinations, and I just don't think Arthur's other two assists are worthwhile. I tried MODOK's Floating Bomb, and I felt like I needed more ranged pressure.
I know this feeling as well, but it tends to be more that I can't stand their lines. In MvC2, I only had to care about whether the character looked cool and played how I wanted them to. When I hear Spencer say something like "How could I lose? I have a bionic arm.", I just can't ever see myself playing him and hearing that line over and over. It kills the victory for me.
Why no online play? The game has all the gameplay modes MvC2 did unless you were a fan of Score Attack. I've never been to a tournament, but I'm still having a blast online with casual play. I'm close to 100 hours played - can't get enough of it, I even turned it on with the 10 minutes I had before work this morning just to test another idea out.

I'm not sure what the source of the problem is (I'm guessing the console itself), but despite having a pretty solid Internet connection, my PS3 has always had a hard time connecting online. There's way too much lag. Coupled with my general dislike of the "online gaming community" (spamming, hate messages, etc.) I'm not bothered so much by it. I'm not great at the game by any means anyway, so I'd rather just have fun playing against similarly-skilled people via local multiplayer (infrequent as it may be) than get frustrated playing against the legitimate online experts or the online "cheaters."Karsticles said:
Trish's theme is from DMC1 and Dante's if from DMC3. I think they just the regular ambient fight music from the games.dankir said:
Are you wired? A lot of people find plugging it in to be a solution.
I come from the opposite end of the spectrum; I am glad Capcom didn't waste time on a bunch of mini-games, and instead focused on the core gameplay. I've seen enough MK9 gameplay to recognize that the actual combat is horribly outdated. Budgets are all limited, and I wish Capcom would have taken away the money put toward the dynamic stages and intro video as well, and put them toward even two more characters. That sort of thing just doesn't add anything to my experience.

Nice episode. What are some good anti-Sent strats for She-Hulk?NinajHeartless said:
It's very enjoyable, but I just feel as though I'd have a much better time if there was more to do. A bigger roster would be ideal. Whenever I play the game and see the amount of effort Capcom put into each of the characters (personalized dialog, text speech, and other little touches), it amazes me that they bothered going through all of that trouble with somebody like Hsien-Ko or Felicia instead of characters people actually care about (sorry Darkstalkers fans). Despite some of the great choices that Capcom made with the roster, there are some completely underwhelming and baffling characters to choose from that just don't interest me in the least bit. I don't necessarily have a problem with the roster consisting of 36 characters but rather the 36 that they chose to include. I can't see myself ever wanting to touch half of the roster outside of getting their titles and gallery stuff.Karsticles said:
