Haha, same here, especially if it's trading wins back and forth. I'm always like "why r u stop?!"
It all depends on the DHC of course, Magnetic Shockwave in the corner is lolz.
In the corner it depends where Vergil is and what height the character is, if they are spinning knockdown like after Spencer, dash back then do Lunar Phase. If they are slightly to the side of you, you should still be able to Lunar Phase without messing it up. If Vergil is right in from of them I would just do the 2x Helm Breaker, if Roundtrip hits only twice, you usually have to cancel the Judgement Cut into Spiral Swords. From what I've done if Round Trip hits 3 times, you are definitely in the clear.
I don't know about starting Dante, I don't really like it to be honest. He has slowass normals and can get RTSD pretty badly. He's better at controlling space than creating it. It's not that Dante can't open people up but he just loses to faster characters like Wolverine, Zero, Viper. Starting Wesker isn't bad since he has fast normals and in general has good movement. So he goes toe to toe with those characters, but just change the order starting depending on the matchup.
I'm all on the Iron Man/Sentinel train. When I do an Iron Man team eventually, that will be the core. I just need to think of another character that does super well with Repulsor Blast. I don't think I want Ghost Rider and Shuma-Gorath together. If I want an anti-air I'd go with Jam Session.
I'll make an Iron Fist team at a later date. Maybe I should go through all the low tiers and make a good team for them.
I don't think I've ever stopped first unless the connection was bad, the opponent is disrespectful, or I have to go do something.
Ow.
I disagree. Back when I didn't know what I was doing, I went like 0-20 against someone. It taught me a lot, and the next time we played I went even with him. I just needed to get my ass kicked a lot by a good player to understand my mistakes.
What do you mean "more and more" Dormammu and Storm? No one has added these characters to a team that didn't already use them.
Why not just go pick up the PS3 version? I bet you can get a good price if you look around. I promise you a 25 match set if you do. ;-)
I'm skeptical after Niitsuma's tweet.
I agreed with you about Hidden Missiles, though...
Dark Dimension is a pretty shitty level 3, so it displeases me to have to use it. I feel like Dormammu should get a full combo off of it to make up for how bad it is.
I have had Hidden Missiles in my top 5 assists since day 1 of Vanilla and that's when Vanilla had 2 invincible assists for Hidden Missiles to compete with.
woah woah woah
A FT20 should involve some losses and wins. That kind of thing stretches the number of matches up considerably. It'll probably be 20-1 the first two or three times though. <_<
Oh. Jericho, you got the whole system for Marvel?woah woah woah
I've had online access for years on the 360, but I've never seen you with gold or I would have fought you hundreds of times by now. You should trade the system in for a PS3 if you only play Mahvel and want to play games online. That's just the way I see it.
I'll probably run my new Hsien-ko team against you. ;-)
Skrull's best assists are Sentinel Force and Bolts of Balthakk.
Everyone has to go through pools though. Seeding points just give you favorable bracket positioning and at most 1 bye.
I dig. Well, if you ever make it to the PS3-side, I'm here for matches.
Try Strange, then. You want something that lets him Meteor Smash whenever the hell he wants to. It's an amazing tool. It's like the difference between Wesker with a beam assist and without.
Yes Day 1 probably even before although I cheated and looked at Yipes in the Lab video for Vanilla MVC3. But as soon as I saw that it tracked, went off screen and hit even if the opponent was comboing I knew it was top tier. Drones as well although every one was on Sentinel's balls back then anyway.
FT 50 is normal for you? god damn i sometimes struggle to not be bored out of my mind in a ft20 and i can't imagine ft50.
I agree everyone should have a level 3, but I wish Dormammu's was better, hahaha. Like an install hyper where he can cancel specials into other specials and still gets meter during the whole thing.
Well, my point character DHCs into my second character, and that's what I really care about. I wouldn't put a team together that couldn't at least do that, because you'd miss out on a lot of kills otherwise. I can THC with Firebrand for a 3 meter 850K combo, too (lol).
Damn, you're even willing to use the Shadow Blade assist and you're not running Dante? Blows my mind!
Not FT50, just 50 total matches. I don't play "FT", I'm just playing. If someone wants to quit after 10 wins or whatever, that's their business. I don't see the point in quitting at some arbitrary number unless you have a bet on the game.
Like, as to whether it hits?
. Soon as I slowed down, though, it became a liability..A). You ALWAYS attacked when your character was getting up or on entry. I know it's Marvel and a lot of "normal" rules for fighting games go out the window, but there is still such a thing as start up and that's why I kept catching and killing your guys. I just attacked slightly earlier so the attack would be hanging out at your feet because I just assumed you wouldn't block.
It helped you in the first two or three matches because you did a lot of unsafe shit because whenever I got close (point blank cr. B, shippuga when you used Zero), it was attackattackattackattack. One of my weaknesses is assuming people won't do that too much lol
B). Raccoon in XF3 didn't have a long enough combo to build meter / you blew your wad / level 3 on the first of my three or first of my two guys. It was like an auto-win for me even as I watched my guy take the napalm because it took sooooooooooooooooooo long to finish. It also didn't even kill all the time because you went into it so fast after the first hit.
I chalked some of that up to online lag and just trying to do easy combos, but third..
C). Minor, but you didn't always know where your bar would be at the end of a combo. I've played Nova for a long time, so it helped, but I distinctly remember you catching Zero, combo'ng him, and I knew the VERY last hit (j. h 'natch) would put you at two bar and allow you to Nova Force --> Frank!
But you seemed to assume it wouldn't and didn't hyper.
Zero then bounced out and murdered your entire squad.
And I only bring it up because of your last point, yeah, I know exactly how much meter my combos build and what I need to do to get the necessary meter to ToD
Go slower. Especially with that team since it looks like your normal Nova combo won't get you to level 2 w/o some help. Take your time. Space your crouching B's. Use shopping cart more while air dashing at or over me.
How else can you measure progress?
If I play, I progress. I still keep track of the score. It just doesn't have to be a FT10. Like if you and I play and I go 6-23, it's pretty clear to me who's better if we stop right there, and that I need to work on everything. If we play again and I go 16-14, I know I've improved. I just don't understand why people limit it to a FT10.
I didn't say anything about a FT10. I think that's way too short as well. Having a solid baseline is a good thing though. A FT20 is the minimum in my eyes. Progress can be measured just like anything else even if those measurements are a bit fuzzy. Sometimes reducing things to simple numbers can make learning far easier. I think this applies very well to fighting games unless you are super dedicated in your fighting game "studies".
I just don't see the point of ending at a number. I simply used "10" as the number. FT20, FT50, I don't see a difference. I just want to play the game a lot with someone when I get to play.
Numbers and regularity can work wonders for some people.
Sure, I'll get on right now. Pardon the ultra scrubby Strange, etc.
