Spider-Man/Task/X-23 is pretty much intact. Need some new BnB's but that team is still pretty legit.

Spider-Man/Hawk/X-23 is in there too, good balanced team. BnB's again, trading better DHC chemistry for zoning.

Spider-Man/Hawkeye/Nova loooooooooooooks like it'll work, I've just got to learn how to time these combos properly.

Really digging that combos are harder now, and take better setups. Makes me feel like I'm earning them. Spider-Man's stand H has huge pushback now, not gonna use it much outside of corners. Still has 720k+ with one assist, one meter. He's fine. Digging the web zip shenanigans too.

Outside of slightly more difficult (but also more damaging and fun) BnB's, X-23 is pretty much intact. Gonna be nice to be able to confirm from a huge hitbox dp.

Hawkeye feels good, gotta get a handle on him. Never really knew Taskmaster (what was there to know -- AirThrow, the character in Vanilla), so this'll be a good chance too. Need more time with Nova, definitely.

<3 this game already.

PS3 GAF, how long did the install take you?

Mine is going very, VERY slow. Like, 10 seconds per percent. The install is only like 2-2.5 gigs. It seemed to speed up towards the end. Took maybe 10-15 minutes total.

Just paranoid about my hard drive. Uncharted 3 had shoddy performance which included music dropping out frequently, and cutscenes being very choppy. Heard the problems were hard drive related.

I rarely trust others when it comes to rating online. I've heard some people say such and such is super bad and everyone they connect with is trash. Then I play and it ends up being nothing like that.

If it lags on one system it's gonna lag on the other. Unless you use the wireless ps3 connection which is pure shit.

Top that off with random router variables and shit people don't always set up and ya.

I'm just excited by the idea of more 360 gaffers. It means there are more possible sparring partners.

Guide is fucking awesome.

Its got a two page rundown chart that lists character,vitality, all 3 assists and what they do, chain combo archetypes for easy pick up and play, a listing of ALL OTG's they got and the inputs, power up state commands if any, flight (yes, no, conditional), air dash and direcitons of air dashes per character, teleport or passthroughs and their inputs, and any extra air mobility.

Its pretty much a left to right table with all those things listed straight out per character and it makes stuff really fast to find for essentials just starting. Especially the chain combo type like 3-hit alternating, or Marvel series, or things like Hunter series...lets you know about how far to take a chain before going for something to extend it without even having experience with the character. The OTG listing is great too.

Guide is Godly like last time on info, but now for newcomers there is like a 5 page dictionary that lists terms they may hear or see and their meaning. Things like BNB and Kara cancel are explained right in the guide so newcomers learn some lingo and some tactics. No heroes & Heralds stuff, but thats fine since thats just extras. All players need this guide. Its that damned good.

Just got back from the launch. They held a tournament using an opened (lol Gamestop) copy of Ultimate, and the prizes were a couple of display boxes for UMvC3 (one for PS3 and 360). Out of all the people who entered, there were probably 3 people (including myself) who were competent in the game. I managed to get 2nd place with Hulk and Ryu, and mainly used a new character in the opening slot. I tried Nemesis, but he died SUPER QUICK to Sentinel because I didn't know how to shoot his damn Rocket Launcher.

Once I got to finals, I felt like dicking around since we were guaranteed prizes, so I picked Wright/Hulk/Ryu. I was doing alright, but since I had never used him before, Wright ended up losing me the game. Afterwards, we played some friendlies and I confused the hell out of the crowd of people watching by doing Wright's Level 3 on someone.

The whole thing was incredibly fun, and I look forward to actually making a team with Wright instead of just chucking him into one.

That sounds fucking sick! how thick/how many pages is it? I guess mine is shipping on Amazon tomorrow, so I'll be guideless until Thursday.

Shopto? They shipped yesterday. I don't see why all games just don't release on Tuesday instead of the usual Friday here.

Probably known, but looks like Skrull can grab Wright through Maya's shield with elastic slam? Either that or my game bugged repeatedly or it got in there right before the shield went up.

Pretty lol, though.

Also, I after several days of hammering away, finally getting the hang of Nova a bit. Never use crouching light.

Eeeeeeeever.

So I played this finally.

Firebrand, I love you.

Frank West is a fucking machine.

Hawkeye is a boss, but I was thrown off by his slide actually being down forward + heavy and not just down + heavy.

Captain America got so damn good, throwing that shied all day.

Taskmaster is hilarious with his frigging stinger XD

Yeah, I love this game.

EDIT: Oh and Phoenix Wright is Legit!!!!

Apparently Morrigan's minimum air dash height was decreased and you can combo into her meterfist using f.H on the ground. Her flight was improved in duration by a bit and her soul fists pack another 15k. Her base damage has not been increased either and Astral vision is the exact same as it was in Vanilla.

Her XF3 time is shorter than Phoenix and her XF3 damage got nerfed a bit(five percent)...

What a mixed basket.

So I finally touched some of the other characters after nothing but Vergil/Wesker/Zero for the last couple days. Hawkeye seems nice at first glance. Nemesis I'm getting a little more feel for. You can do big damage without needing to know much. I don't know how to do Firebrand or Strider's shit. I haven't really figured out how to level with Frank yet but I like his assist. I'm staying the fuck away from Nova cause I don't want to mash away all my red health. I forgot to use Dr. Strange. Rocket Raccoon and Phoenix Wright look kind of fun, but don't fit my playstyle.

Will probably pick this up today knowing full well that I will probably play all of 10 hours and probably never touch it again until that magical day when I have all my
non-existant
fighting game friends over and can play it.

Yes, i'm pathetic I know

How is the netcode? Played MvC3 for the first time a couple days ago and was feeling myself in training, only to go online and couldn't do anything because of how laggy it was.
