ps3 pad.
@solarpowered: why you play on xbox for UMvC3 only?
PS3 pad is absolute ass and the replacements are solid at best. What you have played against this whole time is the dog chained to his doghouse in the backyard. You just haven't noticed it because the chain is long as fuck and the MAHVEL yard is big as hell.
Is there ANY converter out there that would allow to use 360 controllers on the PS3?

The hilarious thing about Smash bigotry is that Melee hosts all the things FG "enthusiasts" claim to want from fighters - precise player controls (arguably the sharpest in the genre), high speed, huge skill gaps between competitive players, a flexible combo system and innovation in systems. They mock this game.
And then go play SSF4.
The hypocrisy coming from the community at times seems absolutely mind bending and it hurts to think about it.
Almost any non-Capcom fighter is dismissed by a ridiculous amount of people who just go back to their respective forums to bitch about the stuff they are missing from their Capcom fighters when there are tons of options out there.
I'm even guilty of it myself. Coming around here makes me feel kinda bad at times just because of the fact that I can't stand using a team that I clearly puts me at a disadvantage and it drives me up a wall when Capcom does it's faceless corporation routine or tries to skirt by the issues with Seth(who I like btw). Every time I jump into a Skullgirls thread I've got the biggest smile on my face because what they say, do and even make jives with what I want in a fighting game so well that you'd think they are psychic or something. It'd be the same thing with Smash Bros if Nintendo weren't retarded about their online and Darkstallkers: OE if Capcom made ANYTHING besides Street Fighter/Resident evil. Gotta broaden my horizons for my own sanity already and going 360 exclusive is a big part of that.
Capcom makes masochists too many of us.

Isn't he cool? So underrated. We could use more Darkstalkers in this game. Namely, Jedah and Donovan.
I'd prefer Donovan since he actually stands a real chance of getting in. Jedah poses a larger problem for Capcom since his very existence pushes the game into M rated territory with 3D modeled blood and gore.
If I could change my male Darkstalker vote to Donovan I would, but a following has been built around Jon Talbain now and we have to maintain some sort of solidarity if we want to see another Darsktalker representative that ain't a female(at all, really).

I get a little bitter when I see scenes of Morrigan impaling a league of robots with her wings from 50 feet away. Where's my reach in the game?!
I get pretty bitter too. Just watching the anime makes it clear that Darstalkers are in a league of their own. It's annoying to see because her flexible spikes are even a part of the intro movies in MvC3...

Yeah, I have Skrull at anchor and Trish at point. The strategy revolves around using both Skrull and Dormammu as effective assists for Trish's combos. I pulled off an assist combo with both Skrull and Dorm while I was playing with Solar so maybe he can explain it better. But you are right in that once Trish is out, there isn't much potential left for me. I partly attribute that to my lack of skill with Dormy and Skrull.
It's cool because it's a nice to way avoid the need for an OTG move. Throw out the Skrull assist that punches high and it gives you plenty of time to go for a perfectly viable relaunch into the combo. It complements Trish pretty well, actually. Adding roundhouse normals to it also looked pretty damned cool I'll tell you. I would go further into it, but I'm not one for in depth explanations and I do most of my gaming and recording by feel/instinct which makes recalling things kind of difficult...

Yup, the verticality element and the emphasis on anticipating strikes and narrow openings are a few of the skills that carry over. Smash players get into MvC3 and these things just click for them.
It is probably why I rage at the game so damned often even though it's my own fault. I'd easily be at an 85%< win percentage if I didn't stick with the slow and blue midget that has dashes which can't even autocorrect properly and a general moveset that does not lend itself to combos/point games very well.
The mechanics in MvC3 have come much closer to 1:1 input for me than any other fighter besides Smash Bros. Melee(which takes it by far even so). Both games are the best examples of tight control in the genre so far. It is just a shame that it took so long for another game this tight to come along and it's even more of a shame that biased fools shit on Smash without exploring it further after TEN years.
With some luck... Skullgirls will be similar to both games in that respect.

Part of the reason I defend Finishing Shower is because Phoenix players have this inexplicable tendency to just teleport right into it.
Step 1:Bait the teleport
Step 2: DHC into Shuffle/Tenrai-HA
Step 3: ???
Step 4: PROFIT!
I just think that a beam for Morrigan could be retrofitted to work in the same way and the justification could be pretty simple. Bitch is a BROKEN TIER demon that would make Ryu and Akuma's beams look like peashooters by comparison.
