I don't know why, but I always get mind fucked fighting against good Jills.
Only Shuma for me. I've had no experience fighting a good Shuma or MODOK on the 360. Q is the only good Shuma I've played against on the PS3 and I sucked so bad with the DS3 that I fall apart.
Justin Wong named MVC3 player of the year by GYT


I think its a solid pick. (I think Viscant would have been my pick tho)
Justin beats Viscant by a country mile.

Hmm. That's interesting, maybe that's why I prefer characters that can fly and such. In Melee, you can pretty much move any place you want on screen, even go below the screen and live.
 
For the artwork Dahbomb posted a few pages back, here's an awesome UMvC3 artpack extracted from the game all in their natural resolution.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=n5hdkeyg

It inlcudes the stage artwork, special artwork, the intro comic, concept art, character endings(she hulk's is missing though) and the win poses. Unfortunately its missing the actual character art and no character select poses although we do get them partially in the fight cards like so

But not the full pic like these =(

For anyone who knows how to extract stuff from the disc or iso files I beg you to rip the character art and character select poses. Or if anyone has any links to guides on how to do that sort of thing it would be very much appreciated. Happy New Year mahvel gaf!

What I like about this game is how many cool characters there are that motivate me to play and learn them.

In SF4 I only stuck to a handful of characters. UMVC3 makes me want to learn half the cast (or more).

Most of the cast is viable too if you put time into them. AE was the same way, but the twins, etc. 2012 is much better in that regard.

I still never understood this. Nova has the orange beams and projectiles in this game and pretty much all of Ryu's are blue, why did they switch it for the intro.

because orange on orange doesn't look as nice as orange on blue. colour contrast.

-Bum
Sounds weird when he plays the 3 least mobile characters in the game. GGs to him though.

It's really sad that if it weren't for CurteyPie and Bum... people would still believe that Haggar has trouble staying in.

Anyway the progression of certain characters since day 1 of vanilla (this is general perception):

Chun Li:

High tier character -> Mid tier character -> Low tier character -> Lower Mid tier high execution character UMVC3

Thor:

Ass tier character -> Low mid tier -> Mid tier -> Upper Mid tier (UMVC3) -> Mid tier

MODOK:

Joke tier -> Low mid -> Mid tier -> Upper Mid/Low high tier (UMVC3)

Felicia:

Mid tier -> Upper Mid tier -> High tier (UMVC3) -> Top tier

Captain America

Mid tier -> Upper Mid (upon discovery of infinite) -> Lower Mid (upon removal of infinite) -> Low tier -> Upper Mid (UMVC3)

Amaterasu

Top tier -> High tier -> Mid tier (UMVC3 due to air dash nerf) -> High tier (after discovering she is still good)

Viper

Low tier -> Mid tier -> High tier -> Top tier -> Top 3 (UMVC3)

Spider Man

Lower Mid tier -> Mid tier -> High tier (after discovery on tech)

Jill

Lower Mid tier -> Mid tier -> High tier (after discovery of tech)

Haggar

Ass tier -> Lower mid -> High tier (due to assist) -> Low tier (UMVC3) -> Mid/Upper Mid tier (after discovery that he's actually good)

Sentinel

SSS tier (top 1 of the game) -> Top tier -> High tier (after patch and exposing) -> Upper Mid tier (UMVC3)

Storm

Top tier -> High tier -> Upper Mid tier

Spencer and Doom

Mid tier -> High tier -> Top tier (UMVC3)

Phoenix

Ass tier -> High tier -> Best character in the game -> Top tier (UMVC3) -> High tier

Wolverine

High tier -> Best character in the game -> Top tier -> Low tier (when his nerfs were discovered) -> Mid tier (UMVC3) -> High tier (when people realized he's still a beast)

Joe

Low tier -> Mid tier -> Upper Mid tier

Morrigan

Low tier -> Mid tier -> Lower Mid tier -> Low tier (UMVC3 due to air dash) -> Upper Mid tier -> High tier (after people realized that most characters can't do anything about fireball spam thanks to added damage and hit stun)

Iron Man

High tier -> Mid tier -> Low tier -> Mid tier -> High tier -> High tier (UMVC3 upon reviewing his huge buff list) -> Mid tier -> Lower Mid tier (after realized that buffs don't really matter with the air dash nerfs)

Tron

Ass tier -> Mid tier (upon discovery on assist) -> High tier (upon discovery that she's actually pretty decent in anything except anchor position) -> Low tier (UMVC3 thanks to nerfs)

Phoenix Wright

Mid tier (upon showcase of trailer) -> Top tier (upon Seth hyping him up plus assists) -> Upper Mid tier (UMVC3) -> Worst character in the game

She Hulk

Low tier -> Mid tier -> High tier -> Mid tier (UMVC3) -> Lower mid tier


DAT Wesker laser beam:

There is a blurry pic of his cr.M as well but it's hard to tell. Doesn't look too bad.

alright i'm up to 760k meterless with haggar and i've only used one assist. i think i can probably get it over 800k soon. i thought of something just as i turned off the system so i'll try it some other time.

480 missions done. Viper #10 is some bullshit, let me tell you. (Did you know that you can't 2xATK for the air dash? You have to use directional inputs. The more you know.)

Going to give it a rest before I clear out the last 20.

He has both in the comics.

Damn I'm at 749k meterless with one assist for Wesker.

Someone using Karst's team, figured out some Soul Fist mid screen combo:

That's a cool looking combo. It hits Nova pretty low though, I wonder if it's character-specific.

Come on Heroes faction. It's 49-51 right now with a few hours to spare. Hope Heroes can win this so I don't have to play this mode again. Just want some random colors and I'll be happy.

haggars otg and pipe cancels are a godsend. at first i thought his otg was complete ass but no more. btw i'm using my regular characters as the assist. if i use other characters i can easily get the damage way higher but what is the point if i'm never going to use them.

Have you seen Bum's Haggar/Chris team? That guy footsies like its Street Fighter. He doesn't even use beams or heavy screen coverage to go in with the guy. All he does is read players and bait them with different stuff. I'd put him on par with any top tourney player on reading opponents during a match. I really wish Bum would do tournies...dude would be awesome.
 
Justin Wong and Combofiend play a lot of heavy footsies, you just don't see it as much because they play good characters.

Yeah, I mean I could get 900k meterless if I used liberation assist with wesker.

How do I go from a smooth match with one person and a match later it lags? That is neither our connections, that's a garbage netcode coming into play.

Stress on the other persons internet connection changes?

Happens to me all the time in sets/lobbies when my brother decides to start downloading something. I usually bow out out of courtesy.

So, I just got paired with a mediocre player who did not at all mind losing to me roughly 20 times in a row. While I had the Victory bonus active.

We in there. Get that last push in before the deadline.

You may be confusing netcode for people's connections. The netcode is quite good.

Man there never seems to be anyone play H&H when I'm on. Then again the stats screen say there's only about 1000 people who have played this week. I want those colors so bad.

So it took Heroes and Heralds to get me to pick up this game again and finally get to the point where I don't feel like I am alienating myself anymore as a Street Fighter player who's having difficulties switching over. Not to say that I care about H&H aside from just wanting to see the cards and what its all about, but as a gimmick it got me to pick up the game again for a bit.

I am finally getting a feel for this game, and it took way too long for that to happen. Of course, I still prefer AE or 3S:OE because that's just how it is, but I can't say I am on the hate train for this game as much as before. I do apprecaite that dragon punches don't feel as if they have shortcuts so I always welcome the fightstick training. Maybe, another weekend of this before I go back to Third Strike.
 
Netcode is so terrible in this game.
Netcode in fighting games isn't worth talking about unless it is Arcana Heart 3, BlazBlue or any Street Fighter past super.

This and that Morrigan combo video from a week back actually made me instinctively reach for my CD wallet so that I could play Mahvel... until I remembered that I didn't buy Ultimate.

The stats on both consoles seem to be bugged. A quick look at the leaderboards on 360 shows that the participants/battles stats on the H&H status screen is too low, and I've heard that the rankings on PS3 were reset multiple times this week or something.
 
By the way Killa Sasa, I've been using my Spiderman team more and more lately, any resources/tips? I'm using Felicia/Spider-Man/Sentinel when I'm burnt out on my Wesker team.

Need a late pass, my internet's been in and out over the past day and a half.

My Sentinel knowledge of his own in and outs are kinda weak, but you'll probably want to end most of your combos in web throw, TK MS so you can DHC for full hits from Sent's Plasma Storm.

I still have an OTG assist for Spider-Man just for versatility's sake, so to get your web throw off a bigger combo, you'll probably want to find a way to be juggling the opponent with s.M, s.H, L Spider Sting xx Bite, and link an L web throw. Failing that, you can find a different juggle ending in M Web Throw. Both are somewhat tight but you'll get used to it.

Spider-Man boards are the best place to go although I know you don't like perusing SRK character forums iirc. Some of the combos they post are a little specific but finding a good base combo that will still work if hitstun scaled by assists is the best way to go IMO. It's not super-organized over there but the threads are short enough to sift through.

Cover yourself with drone and use a barrage of swings and Stings cancelled to zip, as well as web balls cancelled to zip to harrass the opponent into a slip-up.

Spider Sting (xx bite) cancelled by zip is pretty slick, and zip in general is pretty great.

My personal base combos (without an OTG around) are:

cL, cM, sH, L Swing, jH, jS, sM, sH, H Sting xx Bite, sS, jM, jM, jH, H Swing, (MS or jM, jM, jS)

612 in MS or about 500 meterless I believe. Again, that's just a base and works with essentially any starter, which is more important IMO. Everyone's dying in 2 combos. Not his most DHC friendly one though, due to the height.

cL, cM, sH, L Swing, jH, jS, sM, sH, H Swing, jM, jM, jS, sM, sH, L Sting xx Bite, L Web Throw, MS

Very DHC Friendly and does around 660 iirc, can't remember. Will kill most of cast with a DHC to plasma storm I believe too.

Air Throw, Air Zip, walk forward a bit, sM, sH, H Spider Sting xx Bite, (MS or sS, jM, jM, jH, jS)

Standard airthrow fare. Does just under 500 with an MS, 340 or so with normal ender iirc.

Web Throw, air dash, Zip, sM, sH, M Web Throw, air dash, Zip, sM, sH, H Sting xx Bite (launch air series or MS from bite).

Can't remember if I can get an H swing in the air series but I'm pretty sure I can't. Standard web throw punish combo. Damage escapes me but it's pretty solid. And DHC friendly.

cL, cM, sH, L Swing, jH, jS, sM, sH, M Web Throw, air dash, Zip, (walk forward quickly) sM, sH, (L Sting xx bite, L Web Throw, MS) OR (H Sting xx Bite (launch air series or MS from bite)).

Stricter but it works. Just another variation.

Tips

  • Don't be afraid to use his projectiles to your advantage. They take a bit of getting used to, but they're definitely advantageous in a lot of matchups. His projectile game is better than people give it credit for. Just to see how dumb it can be:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukatiIJsWi4

Probably won't see that too often but it's there.

  • Also, my ground web ball xx zip confirm and general pressure string is:

L web ball xx zip, jH, jS, air L web swing, jM, jM, jS, sM, sH, H Sting xx Bite (Launch air series OR xx MS)
  • Anything ending in Bite xx MS or Web Throw, MS is fairly DHC friendly, especially with plasma storm. Just do it before they hit the ground.

Hope that helps somewhat. Sorry for the tome people, just verbal diarrhea. Ask if you need more explanation or you can check the Spider-Man boards too.

These are mostly personal opinion so it's not gospel but it works well for me.

These don't include any UWT resets, as I find the ones he does without a partner are pretty easily escapable, and I'm assuming Sent is on drones as opposed to Rocket Punch. My playstyle includes both these combos and resets, so no matter what, two hits max is what it should take to kill any character, and I'm gonna risk a reset on what I consider problem characters since it'll kill no matter what if it hits.

Edit:

That Akuma combo was boss as hell. Rayray is quickly becoming my favourite to watch, between his Roo, him making Sentinel look ridiculous, his Lensherr, and now this craziness.
 
I kinda wanna work on my solo VJoe stuff. I've XCOPY'd Dieminion's keepaway game to an extent, but I wanted to know if there were any good videos of some high-damage shit out there.
