don't be so quick to write off task in that match up. haggar has a lot of problems against hawkeye but you would be surprised how many hawks i've beaten with him.
Why did you change girls in your avatar?
I played the hell out of the original MVC3 and sadly no longer own it. I'm itching to get back into MVC3 and I'm pretty tempted to pick up the Vita version of UMVC3.
Just a couple of questions:
1. Is the netcode drastically worse than the PS3 version?
2. Is there any cut content?
From hearsay, the netcode is better, but there are a lot of ragequitters, and there is added content - none cut.
Yeah I'm actually really considering that. I'm currently running Morrigan/Dante/X-23, but from what I can tell I need to master fly canceling for Morrigan and bold canceling for Dante, so I may be looking to replace those two characters for the time being while I learn the game. I do really like X-23 though, so I'll probably keep her on for the time being.
Characters I'm considering:
Amaterasu
Chris Redfield
Dr. Doom
Frank West
Hawkeye
Hulk
Phoenix
Trish
Wesker
I also really like Iron Man but everyone here says he sucks lol, so I'm leaving him off the list.
I think this is wise for now. You decided on Wesker/X-23, and my advice for you being new is to slap a good projectile on that team for teleport cross-ups. So either run Hawkeye, Chris, or Dr. Doom. Of the three, Dr. Doom is definitely the most difficult to use. I think Hawkeye and Chris are both pretty simple characters.
I have a question for you Karsticles or anybody who plays Dormammu. My current team is Spencer(b)/Doom(b)/Ammy(b) but my sparring partner who helps me try to learn this game usually plays Nova/Frank/Dorm. After some back and forth it usually comes down to his Dorm on anchor with Ammy incoming ... and it goes downhill from there. He just throws that big ball to force me to block on incoming, pins me down with those purple pillars and being chipped to death is usually the end result. If by some miracle I'm able to get in, he just chicken blocks me all day and teleport away with the process resuming anew. I'm probably missing something obvious but do you have any pointers in that match up ? I'm on the verge of saying screw this and pick up Hawkeye (or Magnus or Sent ...) instead but I like the dog.
Of your opponent has Dormammu on anchor, it's simply a rule that you need to save X-Factor to turtle through his level 3 X-Factor. If he's throwing a lot of Purifications out there, you need to do ground dashes canceled into crouching blocks to approach, and take it slow. When Amaterasu is in XF3, switch to the Glaive. It's pretty hard to hit Dormammu with the disk in 1v1 if he's being very defensive, but the Glaive has much better reach and can even hit from around superjump height. You can also use the Rosary Beads, but only if you're good at swapping to other weapons mid-combo so your hits can hurt. If Dormammu is throwing Stalking Flare for you block as your character comes in, it's a blessing - Dormammu has full-on unblockables against Frank West coming in that guarantee his death. Be glad your friend doesn't know them. ;-)
