Tron can link 5 hypers if she really wanted to on specific characters Problem has always been getting in.JeTmAn81 said:BTW if Tron can link three friggin' hypers, I don't see why Taskmaster shouldn't be able to do something similar. Yes, I'm salty about getting comboed for an hour straight by a meter-loaded Tron.

Getting in never seems like a big problem for good Trons (e.g. Flash Metroid, PR Balrog). Ginormous j.H hitbox plus full combo off any throw will do that for you. Not too mention her command throw and level 3. When she's on the ground it seems like she has way too many moves which are plus on block. I've been meaning to check that in the guide, actually.

Bastard needs a 100k health nerf at least(150k max).JeTmAn81 said:
I saw that. Gotta give the guy props for that. Honestly, I wish there was a way to select Phoenix without Dark Phoenix. She's really fun and really good, but I would like to play her without the gimmick.Parallax Scroll said:
Yeah, 1.1million health is a bit too much. 1 mil would be fine.SolarPowered said:

Taskmaster was just this game's Balrog. Not going for mixups just throwing out arrows, hit, then combo. He was a char just about fishing for a hit patiently and gets it, dead char.

I've honestly considered getting a PS3 and Marvel for it, since I'm not a big fan of paying for online(my first time purchasing online was for this game), but PS3s aren't exactly cheap. I've been meaning to get a PS3 in general for a few of the exclusives, but I just haven't since I'm more of a PC gamer than a console one... My initial reason for buying a 'next gen' console was for DMC4, lol.

Well if you do, we will play.
Ultimoo, we can play too if you want. Or SolarPowered, since he wants a rematch.

I won't be playing for a while after tonight, so get some matches in if you want them.
I'm also out of practice, so you can have easy bragging rights.

Definitely. By then, you'll probably be maining Firebrand, huh? That'll probably scare me more than even Phoenix with 5 bars. XDKarsticles said:
You know, the sad thing is I get blown up by Tron on point more than her Gustaff Fire assist. I'm always trying to anti-air/air-throw her and get hit by that giant jumping H for my troubles. Hell, I've gotten blown up by more Trons than Dark Phoenixes and Wolverine.Ultimoo said:

Dormammu will always be my main. Everyone else is just there to make him function on a higher plane.

Firebrand is 99% set in stone for me. It's not just about the character, but the role he plays on a team. Only a few characters will be capable of performing the role I want him to play on my team, and I think he likely does it best.
Alright, cool. Then my point still stands, Firebrand is going to scare me.Karsticles said:
I know what you mean about the roles on a team. I'm having a really hard time picking another character over Taskmaster. He's essentially the only real zoner, and his assist is beneficial to both Spencer and Dante. I've been trying to pick up Trish in favor of him for a long time, but her assist isn't nearly as useful as the arrows, and her anchor status is very lacking. I don't want to use Spencer as an anchor, and Dante as anchor is... okay, but not the best.
I don't really have much against Taskmaster - I find him pretty fun to play - but I'd really like to make Trish work. Just because I'm a big DMC fan and actually like Trish. I was one of the very few excited for her being in the game from the very first promotional poster. I'd really like to make a team that works, comprised of characters I like. Taskmaster is okay, but I only heard about him from this game, so he's kind of just... there.
And yes, I do actually like Spencer. I'm probably one of the few who actually liked the Bionic Commando reboot. I love the way he plays, as well.
We also share a first name, so the fact his playstyle gels with me so well is like fate or something.
Oh we are talking about our favorites?
I got my game a bit late so I spent some time watching matches first. I saw JWong rape with Wolverine/Akuma and I used that first. Totally fit me like a glove but always struggled to find a character for to finish the team. Tried Storm, didn't work on that team as well very little synergy between Wolverine/Storm (no benefit for Wolverine from Storm's assists and vice versa). I tried Sentinel a bit but back then Sentinel was getting too much hate so I dropped him quick. I picked up Wesker because he was a bad ass and I saw Max using him a lot so I got some grip with it.
My team of Wolverine/Wesker/Akuma is old as fuck, WAY older than Noel Brown's back when he still used Wesker/Spencer. I played it when people still thought Sentinel was broken and She Hulk was godlike. In the middle I played a ton with Iron Man in order to make him work because of his assist. I saw potential in him and kept at him. At the very least, he is a decent anchor with a great assist and good X Factor boosts... not much to lose to put him on my team. I had some match footage of Wesker/Iron Man combination from Max's videos but he dropped Iron Man really quickly to my disappointment.
Then came Marvel 1.0 and Viscant... it was a game changer for me. I must have seen that video 20 times for the set ups, now I know them like the back of my hand. The problem then came that I was good enough with the pair of Wesker/Iron Man but didn't have a 3rd man (again...). I tried Wesker/Iron Man/Sentinel, Chris/Wesker/Iron Man (2 meter builders lol this team never worked despite how hard I tried to make it work) and Wesker/Iron Man/Akuma, Wesker/Ryu/Iron Man, Wesker/Dormammu/Iron Man (technically this was the best one because it had all the components... battery/user/assist but I could never settle on if I wanted Wesker first or Dorm).
And then Vergil was announced... I knew my old teams would have to be scrapped for this GOD of a character. I planned to make an entire team dedicated to Vergil, team synergy and all. Then the reveal went up and I was literally shocked as to how Vergil's play style really matched mine and how well he went into my already current duo. The problem with Wesker/Iron Man if you aren't using Phoenix is that you always had meter to blow. There would be points in the game where I am having a tough time breaking the opponent but had plenty of meter built up... yet no hyper I had I could just throw out or burn it. Vergil is the perfect user on that team and his assists/hypers all appear to be very synergistic with Wesker/Iron Man.

I've been playing Wesker since day one. Before tournament results. I just love the character, I love his gun, and I love that fucking level 3.
Phoenix Wright will be on my team. No discussion.
3rd character is up in the air. I'm going to wait and see how Wright plays before committing to someone at this time. I can't wait to get my hands on Ultimate. So far, every new character looks fun as hell.

really? even with taskmaster? i toss her around like a rag doll whenever i'm playing against her. since she has a big hit box i can toss her into the corner and then call haggar assist and then jump up and shoot a down arrow and continue into a big combo. not only that but haggar assist eats her up as well. i usually just zone the shit out of her though.Frantic said:

GGs Ultimoo.
Edit: You can see why I can't wait for Firebrand - very much the same feel as Phoenix, but without being free meat if you make one mistake/the netcode blips, haha.

Oh we're talking favorites/character loyalties now? Wanted to roll with a Dante/Morrigan/Phoenix team from forever ago, not for anymore reason than Dante being Dante, Morrigan having that awesome meter burning assist (I swear I burn so much meter in these games) and also being one of my favorite Darkstalkers, and Phoenix because at the time (this was like pre-historic Marvel, when Team ASS was blowing up people all day and Marn 1.0 tech exposed it for the first time) people were ragging on the character for being made of styrofoam.
As things would have it though, lack of time and a console to play dat Marvel on worked against me so I wound up watching from the sidelines. With news of Ultimate arriving with new characters, I had some hopes and some ideas but nothing really big until Capcom hiccuped and let it be known that Strider, Doctor-Fucking-Strange, and Vergil would arrive along with great surprises like Firebrand, Hawkeye, and Iron Fist adding to the crazy that was Marvel's initial roster. Now after so much time spent stream monstering and familiarizing myself with the cast I'm ready to try rocking a few different teams, with the primary team (as of now) being Dante/Morrigan/Vergil. (Yes, I'm a DMC3 head, E3 2004 trailer sold me for life.) Who knows, maybe sometime down the road I'll go back and try Phoenix on point shenanigans since I was one of the guys championing that theory.
Also, show of hands, who's on 360 Mahvel-GAF (or plans to remain on with Ultimate coming)?
Edit: Why must I always be so laaaate...

I also actually liked how she played too minus her hyper crazy broken stuff in Dark Phoenix mode.

I'm thinking...
Ammy/Morrigan/Vergil
That is the most likely team so far unless Morrigan turns out to be a better XF3 anchor than before. I may drop her entirely for better DHC and THC synergy though...

All Iron Man, all day. One of the best fighting game characters I've ever laid my hands on. I'm still going to play him in Ultimate - unless his nerfs just make him THAT unfun. Aesthetically, his model is beautiful - I love his ground blocking animations in particular. He just looks like such a fucking boss hunkered down behind that shield.

My newest irritation with Marvel on PS3: It's a pain in the ass to stream from.
Can't use HDMI because Sony decided to keep HDCP active during game play for god only knows why. Can't use component because gaming monitors don't have component inputs. The only component-to-VGA adapter I have that makes for a workable setup lags, according to players who tested it. The HDMI-to-component converter I have that says it's HDCP 1.2 compliant doesn't pick up the PS3's signal.
What the fuck does Sp00ky use? Tired of not knowing this shit doesn't work until after I already drive 45 miles to the venue because nobody actually plays this game on PS3 at home and there's no other way for me to test shit.
Feh.

Morrigan + Purification x2 builds about half a bar of meter. If I start Dormammu with 5 bars and he goes on uninterrupted doing the series, it deals 1.5 million chip damage. In Ultimate, I'll even be able to cancel a Dark Matter into the second Purification for a little more chip and meter!I hate Dorm. That Purificationx2 + Morrigan assist cancelled into Stalking Flare builds too much meter.
I don't think Phoenix on point is a great idea, but I like the high risk play, Sentinel has too many bad matchups (like 70% of the cast), Phoenix is the character closest to Firebrand in this game (even though they're very different), and, most importantly, I want to get good with the Dormammu/Morrigan synergy, and since Sentinel is my second most played character, I tend to OCV people a lot and never get to learn the real team I'll be using. In some sense, I want Phoenix to die.
I do not kiss and tell sir.
You better change that avatar, POSER!
Hahaha. Well, sometimes I will rush a lot if I am used to my opponent and know how to trip him up. Or, if my opponent is using Dormammu, Skrull, or Hidden Missiles, I have no choice but to rush, since Phoenix can't handle that stuff at a distance.
The goal is to build meter - so why rush things? ;-)
GGs.
You should Tweet Sp00ky or PM Haunts. I'm sure either one would love to tell you.
