Yep. I don't think Evo is mainstream enough for a company as big as Capcom to reveal a game at, which is why they'd do the unveiling at Comic-Con (if they have something to show this year).
If the reveal is Darkstalkers 4, though, which pretty much only has a following among fighter game enthusiasts, Comic-Con would be a really strange place to reveal it. I tend to agree that we won't get a reveal at Evo, because IIRC Capcom doesn't like to take too much away from the event itself. I was leaning toward a Capcom Summer Jam (June 30 - July 1) reveal, and then the game being at Evo. We know Okami HD will be playable there, but I think Capcom has to have a bigger gun to show for a full event.
I wouldn't mind double button, either. I just can't handle charge characters. My execution isn't up to par.
What's your team?
Perfect! I think I actually had this idea a while ago, but forgot...hahaha.
Have you tried Arthur?
If I had the ability to record, I would! The synergy is really tight between them though. I almost had a few perfects and I only played the team for my first time yesterday. Spencer is one of the best characters for getting Hsien-ko gold. Both of his hypers DHC to Rimoukon for full combos, and then you just want to TAC Spencer back in because she can't be fully counter-TACed. If your opponent counters you both just fall to the ground and you get a free mix-up since she's gold.
- 800~900K Health - Agree
- Double jump & 2 way dash in base mode; 8 way dash when in Hermes/Icarus armors & additional flight mode when wearing Ultimate Armor. I was thinking of having the Falcon Armor appear for his 8 Way Dash
- Charge mechanic similar to Zero's buster. Its major difference is that while you can hold a charge with any button, inputting a motion before releasing the button gives you a charged version of the attack you were going for. (It's a homage to how he could charge Maverick Weapons.) Doing the charge and releasing it raw shoots buster projectiles with different effects as per the different armors.
- X charges his normal buster 3 levels before being fully charged. Lvl. 1 shoots a smaller green shot forward; Lvl. 2 shoots a moderate sized blast forward; Lvl. 3 has X fire the most powerful shot possible given the armor he's currently in. (Normal X: His ordinary guy robot charge shot; Hermes: a staggering buster shot; Icarus: a quick piercing shot (good for hitconfirm Happy B-days); Ultimate: Two spiraling bursts of energy around a unibeam like blast with speed and startup comparable to Zero's lvl. 3 Buster.) Charged specials are unusable until the charge holds. - We need X3 Buster / Gold Armor charge for the massive wall
- Charged special moves eat 1/4 ~ 1/2 ~ a whole meter (Hearkening back to X's weapons energy limits; not sure of what would be a reasonable tax for this.) I don't think EX moves for X is a good thing unless they are REAL good like Viper's, especially if you have to charge it anyways. I think it would be ok like if you spent meter to do the move instantaneously without charging would be alright.
- Xs buster charges slightly faster than Zeros. (To accomodate use of charged specials in a combo. No Hard/Soft Knockdown BS here unless you're caught with it in the air.)
I think X should be able to Hold Charges depending on the armor, that way when they are stored, you hit H (like Classic Megaman) to release the buster
- Taunt is his victory pose from the games. I think this is fine, unless someone has a better proposition, what would they use for his victory pose?
- Alternate costume is his Command Mission look with plasma/energy scarf. FUCK HELL YES
- When using Ultimate Armor parts, X gains flight with a QCB + S input. I think X should have access to flight with armors that have "hover" mechanics
X in this design is using a modified version of his X8 armor that's called forth with one of his supers. The two buttons pressed for the power up super determine if it's the Icarus, Hermes, or his trademarked Ultimate parts that enhance his capabilities. X is timed in this power up mode and when using the armor, he cannot build meter.
I also trimmed the move set down by picking his specials based on one prominent Maverick Weapon he'd acquire in X through X8. The ones I picked were:
(X7 weapon goes here - LOL this game is ass) LOL amazing
Hypers:
Infinite Light - Lvl. 3 Catch/Dash Type
A hybrid catch/dash type super similar to Iron Avenger but somewhat faster; While raising his now glowing hand to the air, X's armor becomes his more elaborate Ultimate form swiping at the area in front of himself. If nothing is there, that animation continues into a full spin/pirouette motion before he leaps and shoots across the screen "Bionic Arm" style hitting characters for 350K and hard knockdown. If the opponent is caught in the initial swipe, the full animation plays out. X blasts forward, over then back down to the ground in one loop-de-loop motion before smashing his opponent down on the ground with that same palm. (Once again think a more physical Iron Avenger or Bison Ultra II from SSFIV) Does 420K unscaled.
Copy X move is kinda cool, I'd like to see some type of Giga Attack, sounds like thats what you're going for though as it reads like a Nova Strike
Colors: Classic X, Copy-X (red eyes, deeper blue, white & gold accents), other 4 colors based off his robo-sons & daughter/The Four Generals from the Zero series.
X should have Vile (maybe since Zero already has it), Double, Dynamo colors. Maybe even Sigma or Signas colors
I want to get a recording setup. I was going to for Christmas, but decided to instead spend the money on getting my wife a 3DS.
More than that, CAW was a huge help in a lot of areas pre-release since he's fluent in Japanese. He was always helping out by translating entire interviews with Niitsuma over at GFAQs. He also has this weird talent for finding order in Capcom's madness in terms of character picks. He's among the most quality conversationalists I've had the pleasure of interacting with over the internet. It's really a shame that he got perma'd.
Where'd you see that?
i played him just now.
With this team? For a few games after I had gotten used to him. I love Arthur, but I don't know how much I would love him on this team.
That Vergil stuff sounds insane. As for the idea I put out:
- The only issue with multiple armors visually is RAM constraints. I suggested as much elsewhere some time ago and got reminded of this which is why I went and thought of the whole Neural Armor gimmick from X8.
- X3 Buster finding a use in a game like this would be hilarious. At the same time, the goal was "good not stupid" when I put together my little idea. Gotta admit though, firing a scattershot blast would be hype as hell for zoners. Morri-who?
- The idea was that they were supposed to be stupidly good and worth the EXs but I do see your point regarding charged specials. Also:
Pretty much fixes both the execution and payoff issues for this.
- I actually like the idea of held charges. Noted.
- Command Mission armor was a definite since Day 1 of "Azure wants this character in." :lol
- I honestly wanted to represent his flight capability on a greater scale just because one of the things X has always been is mobile as hell. At the same time, I also wanted to emphasize that "ordinary turned godlike" that he's been since the start hence the entire idea of the armor install hyper. Honestly, I'd be cool if he could fly in the mode with no restrictions beyond the limits for flight currently, but I felt like it'd be nice to also play up that different armors specialize in different things.
- X7 is ass out of an ass tier. The only game in the franchise where I couldn't even be bothered to mine it for hidden potential. Prior to Marvel 3, I didn't even know where Zero's Hadangeki was from. I just thought it was a Niitsuma original because he liked the buster-buster-saber stuff from X2! :lol
- Nova Strike plus all the G Gundam references from the Day of Sigma OVA = His Level 3.
- I really don't know how I skipped out on the X series characters like that, Dynamo & Colonel colors would be great. Copy X color would be cool though, I like the Lapis Lazuli (Blue/White/Gold) motif.
Will try.
Nemesis is so good. Even on his own he has great combos. Give him an OTG assist, and the sky's the limit.
For Ghost Rider, I'm leaning toward either Double Lariat or Repulsor Blast as the "get off me" assist. I agree he needs something like that. I don't care for Hulk's Gamma Charge with him because it doesn't lead to combos, and I feel that Ghost Rider should be abusing his blind spot to get big damage. He's not like Phoenix Wright, who just wants to buy more time. Hidden Missiles goes well with everything, hahaha. I try not to rely on it so much. I thought about putting Ghost Rider on my Hsien-ko team, but the problem is that after after Dr. Strange dies I don't have anyone good to use XF3 on.
Chun-li's taunt, like Deadpool's deals damage. I'll go for Chun unless someone has a request for someone else.
Hawkeye has this in the bag. It should've been fairly self evident from the ChrisG vs FChamp match at CEO where ChrisG demolished FChamp's team. FChamp was very reluctant to play his Dorm team against Flocker's Hawkeye.
I'd pair MODOK with She-Hulk, but not Chun-li.
My initial thought is: be patient and find a way in. If melee characters can do it, Ghost Rider can too. It's not a strong opinion though, I'd have to play some matches and see how it goes.
But melee characters usually either have a good wave dash or good up close normals and mix ups to threaten you with. What does Ghost Rider have when he moves forward?
The only players that I will add to that list are Yipes and Chou.
Why can Vergil wavedash without crouch-canceling? Seriously. Just hold forward and mash on your dash macro and it works.
