Well, at least they're staying true to form with the same half-assed approach.

Who's best for projectile spam? Thinking of doing that plus a space stone to push them for keepaway.

Space Stone drags the opponent towards you, it doesn't push them away.

Zero in Sougenmou is hilariously effective for projectile spam, I can be rushdown or immediately change to that gameplan any time, and it seems to last way longer than in MvC3. X's latest tech is helpful as well but it takes practice.

Arthur should be the best one on paper I guess, but idk, I can't get him to work for me in this game. Hawkeye too.

Says in the op it can also push away?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Says in the op it can also push away?

Oh yeah, that must be my bad as a fellow newbie. Literally all I've seen people do with it is pull the opponent towards themselves.

 

[Fersis]

LOL @ their excuse of unintended mechanics.

So what about HSD glitch?

Or Stinger overheads?

Or freezing glitch?


And I like how they made this announcement on the day of the tournament....

I like Capcom's approach here, "soft patches":
Instead of patching the game, they just add rules.

 

[FSLink]

Agreed but I pUT part the blame on the fgc for tamer stages once there's any sort to activity in the background it gets banned in tourneys.

To be fair that's due to some fighting games actually causing lag in some stages.

Seeing Training stage in this game though annoys the hell out of me.

Capcom's communication needs to be waaaay better but you do know that patches take time to be certified right?





Oh hey some patch notes for the Oct 16 update:
http://www.capcom-unity.com/strumsl...r-marvel-vs-capcom-infinite-october-16-update

General (These changes will go live on PS4 and PC on October 16 and on Xbox One at a later date)

When an opponent has been hit by three special "grab" projectiles in a single combo, they will automatically be affected by a spiral hit stun, causing them to be invincible and sent into the air. Players can also counter tag out of these attacks.
Affected moves:
Spider-Man - LP/HP Web Ball (including air versions)
Frank - LK/HK Hammer Throw
Can perform air recovery in eight directions when recovering from certain unique hits in the air.
Affected moves:
Dante – Bee Hive
Chun-Li – Spinning Bird Kick (including air version), Kikosho, Hoyokusen
Chris – Sweep Combo
Doctor Strange – Bolts of Balthakk
Fixed a bug that made it impossible to block during the last frame of crouching block recovery.
Fixed an issue that caused a connection error to occur when continuously performing successful grabs in an online match.
Increased throw invincibility during air recovery from 3F to 5F.
Fixed comboing into another combo using the Mind Surge throw.
Characters (These changes will go live across all platforms in the update on October 16)

Dante

Fixed a bug when taking damage during Tempest that caused Dante’s position to change from the location where he took that damage.
Captain America

Fixed bug(s) so that properties of moves without the shield match those with the shield. (ex: forward jumping during forward ground dash without the shield did not have dash momentum)
Fixed a bug causing backflip (without shield) to be invincible from start up.
Fixed a bug that caused his back ground throw to not do damage and had a shorter knockback distance.
Fixed a bug where jumping forward during a back ground dash (with shield) had dash momentum.
Fixed a bug that caused him to not face the opponent when behind them while activating Charging Star and Hyper Charging Star.
Dormammu

Fixed a bug that allowed players to cancel Dark Spell: Creation after LK/HK Dark Hole with Flight.
Fixed a bug that allowed players to cancel Dark Spell: Creation after LK/HK Purification with Flight.
Doctor Strange

Fixed bug where when there are 3 Graces of Hoggoth HP traps on screen and Flames of the Faltine is used from a higher position, the fired laser VFX disappears.
Fixed bug causing one Grace of Hoggoth to remain on screen after activating Flames of the Faltine in certain situations.

Looks like Dorm dark hole spell cancelling, Dante beehive/Chun SBK reset glitch, and Spidey web ball will be fixed.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

We barely knew you, Dark Hole loops.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Ban the spiderman infinite then patch it out anyways. Smart

 

[kirblar]

Ban the spiderman infinite then patch it out anyways. Smart

Weekend tourney at SEAM will still be on the current patch.

 

[FSLink]

Ban the spiderman infinite then patch it out anyways. Smart

Maybe on the off chance a console isn't updated I guess lol

 

[brian!]

Hell yeah a patch, feeling more optimistic now

 

[Sigmaah]

Ayeee rip dark hole loops!

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Says in the op it can also push away?

Oh yeah, that must be my bad as a fellow newbie. Literally all I've seen people do with it is pull the opponent towards themselves.

It can only pull.

 

[Fersis]

Capcom's communication needs to be waaaay better but you do know that patches take time to be certified right?

I know. It was just a lame joke.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I didn't really expect to see patch coming out so quickly.

I know. It was just a lame joke.

 

[Lulubop]

Weekend tourney at SEAM will still be on the current patch.

Exactly

 

[FSLink]

Ayeee rip dark hole loops!

Good thing I didn't use them much lol

I know. It was just a lame joke.

Ah, well seen other people make it around and I doubt all of them were joking.

 

[Vaughngief]

Nerf Frank. Leave overhead Stinger in. Ok.

Spoiler

Fuck me.

Edit: Apparently they did fix Dante's glitch but didn't specify it to him. My bad.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Damn you post-command grab HSD scaling! Damn yooooooooooooou

 

[brian!]

They really went ham on the air grab reset stuff

 

[JayEH]

I might be getting info mixed up but I thought there was something about capcom showing off alt costumes this week. Did I just make that up in my head?

 

[kirblar]

I might be getting info mixed up but I thought there was something about capcom showing off alt costumes this week. Did I just make that up in my head?

Since the costumes are coming w/ this patch for the S1 characters it's very likely that the costume shop opens up for the others.

[/QUOTE]

Even GB is playing Dante, SMH

 

[brian!]

That's a pretty dece dorm nerf too

 

[JeTmAn81]

I wonder why they didn't fix overhead Stinger yet?

 

[Keits]

Even GB is playing Dante, SMH

Right, because Dante is the absolute best teammate for Thor.

I wonder why they didn't fix overhead Stinger yet?

They did, its in the patch notes.

 

[Dahbomb]

OMG patch notes 5 days before the actual patch!

This is the most I have been hyped about the game since I learned that Tags work like free form assists!

 

[brian!]

Do you guys think being able to counter-tag web ball is too much? It homogenizes the move a bit which could be good but since the infinite spins you out after 3 balls i dunno...

 

[Skittles]

No gamora gun change makes me sad

That doctor strange change is kinda brutal

 

[Lights and Waves]

They're not going to patch the lag on the character select screen..?

 

[Sayad]

Oh hey some patch notes for the Oct 16 update:

I guess this confirms that GotG LAZERS isn't a bug.

 

[brian!]

I think they have a big list of bugs to deal with and werent able to get to a lot of them in time for the patch, id expect a more comprehensive patch for the next dlc

 

[Dahbomb]

I guess this confirms that GotG LAZERS isn't a bug.

Captain Marvel too Lol!

Nah they still have a huge list of bugs left. Still have the HSD reset.

This is a giant step in right direction though. Getting on top of bugs asap.

 

[Fersis]

They're not going to patch the lag on the character select screen..?

This is the first patch, i doubt it's gonna be the only one.
My guess is that they'll patch the game on each character release.

And Honzo said, Capcom patched out an infinite and overhead glitch a month after being discovered.
That's a pretty good response time.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Even GB is playing Dante, SMH

All I want is a character that's good for Thor.

Requirements:

• tracking teleport
• sets up command grabs

Which means basically Dante, Thanos, Doctor Strange and Strider. Dormammu and Thor have pretty weak synergy. I need to test Rocket a bit.

Of the four, Dante's Beehive glitch is kinda stupid for command grab resets.

 

[Chindogg]

Sad that they didn't fix Chris at all.

I wonder if Gamora's guns are still throw invulnerable.

 

[Negaduck]

Does the patch mean strange doesn't get a full solo combo off of bolts anymore?

 

[brian!]

They should be still invincible, but maybe it's one of those patch notes where they dont write everything?

 

[Sayad]

Captain Marvel too Lol!

Nah they still have a huge list of bugs left. Still have the HSD reset.

This is a giant step in right direction though. Getting on top of bugs asap.

Yea, but you fix the easy ones first, GotG assumed bug is basically regular hitboxes instead of projectiles hitboxes. Fixing it is literally flipping a switch, less work/trouble shooting than even fixing Spiderman's infinite. them skipping it pretty much confirm it was intentional.

Not to say it's staying forever, but if it ever get fixed, it will be in a balance patch, not a bug fixes one, and I don't believe we're getting one before Battle of the Stones.


Have the community even figured out what causes HSD yet?!

 

[Producer]

damn surprised they are on this so fast. no doubt the stones tournament also is a factor. great to see though, good shit

 

[TheSpoiler]

Yeah the tournament scene is what's making this faster and I'm all for that life.

 

[Sigmaah]

So much for no updates and this game is dead!

LMAO. MAHVEL BAYBEEEE!!!

 

[kunonabi]

My girl Carol lives to see another day.

 

[wille9]

I wish made Ryu change his assist into Ken and Evil Ryu from MVC1.

 

[Dahbomb]

I don't think it's a matter of easy or not for these first few bugs, it's a matter of if they were discovered in time or before the launch.

Though if the projectile/armor stuff isn't changed by the next character DLC pack then it's best to assume that it was intended (LOL!) and if they change it , then it will be in a balance patch.

 

[Neoxon]

My girl Carol lives to see another day.

Yup, Captain Marvel dodged the will of Odin’s Nerf-Hammer.

 

[Negaduck]

Well, my question is mainly how you are frozen when bolts hit. I wonder if from full screen, I'd you can tech out of the second one or if strange can teleport after and continue the combo like he could before

 

[Stone Ocean]

So much for no updates and this game is dead!

LMAO. MAHVEL BAYBEEEE!!!

I mean, they already said they'd fix these things and they still have some DLC to release. When people say "no updates" they're talking about the game beyond the season pass.
