I'm not sure as anchor, but I thought she was heavily underused in vanilla mvc3. I thought she was very solid, albeit a bit clunky and harder to use than most character. I'm pretty sure she would have been top tier if umvc3 weren't coming out so soon after mvc3. Doesn't the tier list place her high despite the fact that she hasn't been played much?
She IS underused and she does place high in tiers. The recent tournament however had some very good Trish usage particularly a player named RDK. That's how this whole argument came out I am guessing. The changes to her in UMVC3 should definitely push her towards top tier or at least high tier but more played overall.
I just put in support for both sides of the camp as far as the whole anchor Trish debate went.
Did you guys see the leak info sheet on UMVC3? Lupinko sort of confirmed that it's real.
Here's a summary:
*Next characters to be revealed at TGS and there will be 4: Vergil & Iron First and Phoenix Wright and Rocket Raccoon. 2 new stages will be revealed there too: Danger Room (X-Men) and an Outer Space stage. Most of the game's modes will be revealed here with emphasis on Spectator mode.
*Frank West and Nova will be revealed at NYCC. The remaining modes will be discussed here as well along with the changes to single player and the MVC3 bonus for having vanilla MVC3. The bonus is just you get the 6 original costumes for vanilla for free.
*The other 2 remaining stages are re-skins of Metro City with Days of Future Past element (hoodlums replaced by X-men characters) and Midnight Asgard.
The rest of the post is about the particular characters but it isn't anything too specific. Iron First uses some sort of Levels of Understanding mechanic like MODOK, Nova is a mid screen controller with flight and projectiles, Vergil is like Dante in that he is basically taken right out of DMC3, PW fumbles around a lot and has a LVL3 counter hyper where he points his finger our and RR is NOT like Cable more like VJ with guns. FW is like his TVC counterpart.
