I tried to play Dead Rising again even though I was put off by it the first time...

Now I remember why I never got hyped about Frank. Stupid game has a weird saving system and escorting civilians through hordes of zombies takes away from the fun. :'(

Gonna have to play something else in the meantime I guess.

That's the best part about the save system. It encourages proper time management and makes saves valuable/strategic. You gotta think before you press that save button.

Dead Rising 2 is less stringent about it though.

I didn't realize that you could equip civilians with weapons at first(probably forgot) so I did that this time for the Japanese folks at the bookstore all the way at the beginning of the game. Those piece of shit convicts keep killing me every time I try to escort the Japanese dudes across the park to safety.

The original Resident Evil games had a real save system that made you think carefully about whether or not you'd be able to save again and older games like Metroid Prime had save spots scattered about in memorable places. Dead Rising's system is fine for an RPG, a survival horror game or a strategy game, but not for something like this where everything seems to be at your fingertips(the game is more or less sandbox killing sim from what I can tell).

It's a shame I won't get to see Frank's story because of this stupid freaking system. He doesn't seem very interesting from an aesthetic point of view, but there has to be more to him than "I've covered wars ya know!".

*sighs*

Edit: When you save and quit does it have any effect on the civilians? Do I keep my weapons and stuff?

Just general frustrating stuff like unkillable unfair Psychopaths, accidentally locking yourself into combat with one and the only way out being to restart the entire cycle, and shit like that.

You can kill them if you are pro enough. You can also unlock alternate paths that don't require you to go through the park.

It's a survival game with sandbox elements. You have to survive until the timer is off and you have to save as many people as you can within the time limit. It's a really interesting system where everyone is going to have a unique experience first time around because you may be unable to do particular missions/escorts in sacrifice for other missions.

No but your stats are buffed. So whatever abilities/stats upgrade you got if you restart you will start off really buff. Essentially you will be very buff starting out and replaying you will be able to get more stuff faster and level up more. I had to restart 3 times to beat the game. Yeah it sucks but hey it's better than being stuck at one spot and be bogged down by the timer.

They could have had a much bigger sample size, but I'd say it's pretty representative.

Marvel's most popular character is number 32 on this list...smh. Spider-man has so much more potential than what he is in MvC3. I wish the developers would've scrapped his MvC2 template and built him from the ground up.

WTF double post with shitty net.

Also holy shit at Iron Man, Spider Man and Thor being that low. This is the point I made a while back that ease of play has a lot to do with picks along with how good the character is. Check out how high Ryu, Hulk and Deadpool are. Surprised to see Wolverine that low.

I mean yeah Dante has a lot of hard stuff but he also has a lot of easy stuff too and he's THE main DMC character to pick.

Vergil = 2nd only to Dante in DMC popularity + Easy to play + Top tier juice = #1 online pick most likely for UMVC3

Spider-man's a great character that takes a lot of skill to play effectively. Why bother learning how to play when you can just derp your way to victory with Wolverine?

Same. He could have been a lot more interesting.

Spider Man IS very interesting and plays like his comic book counterpart but he is high execution and difficult to get to grips with. He's also fairly good and underrepresented both online and in tournaments.

MODOK the only non-DLC character below DLC characters. That's just pathetic. Dude is a massive eye sore to many.

Pretty much this. Most of the higher execution characters are on the lower end of the list. (Although to be fair, with the sometimes sketchy netcode, I probably wouldn't choose someone like Viper or Felicia, either.)

Thanks for the tips, Dahbomb. I'm absolutely determined to kick this game's ass out of sheer anger now.

I also read up on the system after my last post and I plan to take advantage of it now.

Hsien-Ko had a pretty massive following in the beginning when the game launched. I was completely unaware of it at first, but skimming through the SRK threads revealed tons of folks who used her and then dumped her when they saw the road that lied ahead of them. I bet she would've been top twenty or even top fifteen under different circumstances.

Also, that list almost perfectly describes my online experience. -_-

I was surprised Sentinel wasn't #1- he's definitely the easiest character to pick up and play, due to how few hits his combos have.

I'm amazed by Morrigan's position considering her flaws. I've only seen a handful of competent Morrigan players online and a few who were just winging it now that I think about it...

Sentinel is pretty much figured out even by the average player. His usage dropped a lot after the health nerf.

Yeah DS characters have a decent following, check out where Morrigan is she is fairly high despite her short comings. Also having an assist that is good is also useful. I have heard Morrigan meter building assist gets used a lot online for cheesy gimmick teams. It's why Dante is #1 and Akuma is #2... great assists and great characters on point with solid X Factor bonuses/comeback potential. It helps that the characters fulfill the "bad ass" criteria on a team as well.

I am also totally NOT shocked by Phoenix being "Morrigan" tier in usage. Phoenix is totally free to scrub tactics and random hail maries as funny and ridiculous as that sounds. And online it's probably fairly easy to get tagged by randomness. The low health is an intimidation factor for many online warriors.

I spoke to Ultradavid who told me Phoenix Wright has an assist where he comes in and walks forwards, creating a moving wall for the player.

He also told me that he's kinda like Zappa from GG. Randomness in some moves but controllable to a degree. He also has the soul system from Zappa where when he meets certain requirements, he is able to go into "I kill everything" mode with insane range on his normals, insane damage, etc.

From someone in /v/. It of course will be complete nonsense but is it wrong for me to hope that it's true?

There seems to be a awful lot of rumours of Phoenix wrights playstyle from 4chan, why not some of Nova or Frank west :(

Because you can make a bunch of random shit for Wright and people would believe it.

LMAO @ Wright the human wall.

Wright being like Zappa would be pretty fucking awesome.

She was a very popular character starting even in MvC1. She'd be a shoe in for top 10 with her beam, her ground dash and her dive kick. I'd dare say even top seven.

I wonder how much play Megaman would see if he were in the game...

Try LMH, L Web Swing, jM, jM, S. You can also do jH, jS instead of those 3. It's harder to continue it on the ground afterwards starting with sM, so you can use sLMH instead iirc.

On the ground, most are doing L swing , jH, jS as their starter.

I myself prefer LMH, H Spider Sting - even if blocked, Spider Bite (the followup to sting) has one ground recovery frame, and does pretty slick block stun, so I don't mind it. If I connect on the Spider Bite, I follow up with sH, M Swing, jM, jM, jS, sM, S into air series of jMMH, H Swing, (Maximum Parker or jMMS). I prefer this just because it seems to be more forgiving in terms of being hitstun deteriorated by assists - it still works even with a full Unibeam assist at the start (granted, you gotta do the Swing cancels quick).

Hope that helps.

That, plus there's little reason to expect Frank to be radically different from how he played in TvC, adjustments following the shift to Marvel gameplay aside.

LOL... I am also calling out Karst with his new Morrigan assist + Firebrand tech. Game isn't out yet, I don't even play online and YET I still feel salty.
So are we certain that we are supposed to get reveals at midnight? Not sure.
