I don't think L should be rapid-fire if it's not on contact, that's just dumb. I guess I'm biased because I play alot of characters that don't have that option.
Eh, it's just another thing some characters have that others don't. No different from air dashes or anything else.
My Strider is bad, I draw a blank completely whenever he's in. I'm so fraudulent.
I don't think DP needs buffs, regular Phoenix sure.
I think DP could use buffs. TK Shot making her prone in the air is stupid. For 5 bars, this bitch needs to be the most overpowered thing in the game. I could have 9 Stalking Flares on the screen for what I'm paying for to get Dark Phoenix. That's 1.5 million chip damage. Dark Phoenix rolls through teams, but Vergil with half as much meter does the same thing, and he does it in a much, much safer manner.
Dark Phoenix without X-Factor, I wager to say, isn't even that good. As someone who played her on point for a month straight in Vanilla, I cringed every time I got Dark Phoenix because of the life drain. I'd say her life shouldn't drain and she should be able to TK Shot without falling prone in the air again. The biggest "WTF" factor of Dark Phoenix in Vanilla was XF3, and her speed was toned down so that she can't just mash teleports into c.L safely anymore, and her chip damage was toned down.
I've leveled up my air throw game! I'm proud of that :lol.
And your air throw tech game! I think I only reset you once or twice with Dormammu, and every time you teched my throw I said "what?!"
Yah I guess it's a conditional team weakness, since Morrigan isn't vulnerable for very long. But I could sense when you were likely to call her.
She's only vulnerable for 10 frames (Vanilla Double Lariat inversed). Yeah, people can sense when I'll call her, but it's the unique combination of a keepaway team + Vajra that makes the calls less safe. Against any other team I'd be able to Mass Change M as I call to make it safer, but against Vajra Dormammu is likely to get hit so I can't. Still, I think she only died 2-3 times in our 30 matches, and last night was my first time playing the team, so I'm not too upset about that.
What I mean is, when you start Dormammu, I can approach you and treat your team normally. Because you're saving meter for Phoenix and you don't have the meter to play keep away with Stalking Flares. So I'm not afraid to just rush in.
Gotcha. As I get better with the team I'll mess with expending meter early to see if I can get net meter gain. Dark Harmonizer + Purification x Stalking Flare, Dark Harmonizer, charge 1D2C, release 1D2C, Dark Harmonizer is meter neutral, so I can call Stalking Flare at any time and recover the bar, but I'm also not going to get to 5 bars that way. As I work on the team I'll try to find ways to make this a meter positive plan.
When you have Dormammu with 5 meters and Dark Harmonizer with X-Factor, shit gets scary because any hit is basically going to lead to death when you XF2, and that usually results in losing all characters.
Yay! :-D
Yah the DLC is definitely a rip-off, mechanically it's fun. Combo flexibility is really marvel-esque, but just sluggish in comparison.
The combos just don't look fun to do or watch, and something about the animations doesn't hit me right.
It definitely feels like GR has a matchup advantage... Definitely gets skewed when assists get thrown in, it doesn't help that Chris' full screen attack range is limited and slower in comparison.
Indeed.
Leave Dante alone! ;_; Poor guy doesn't even have his own game series anymore. Cold Shower xx Prop Shredder X2 only works on a stand opponent haha.
Hahaha. The only thing that bothers me about Dante is how he can bold cancel whiffed normals into safety. Dante players have to do really stupid stuff for me to punish them, and I don't think any character should be
that safe all the time.
Yah probably, I hate when that happens, inputs always mess up during freezes or supers, that's why you hit me with alot of chaotic flames when I got for Instant Super Jump Magnum, and then I would get a standing Magnum. Fucking game!!
I only have this problem when I'm doing Soul Fist walls with Morrigan, and I'm not sure if she's finished her fly animation yet.
I think winning against Phoenix feels really rewarding! But I share the same sentiments lol. They should nerf the hitstun on Feathers because frankly, they are stupid. But she IS Dark Phoenix, so I guess they had to give her that.
5 bars of meter and she dies in a hit! Totally fair IMO. Those feathers went full screen in the in-house beta, don't you forget it!
I think alot of people would appreciate an incarnation of Phoenix like this, how many top Phoenix players do we have in the world after Vanilla?
Um, I'm not sure. There's F. Champ and Alioune, Neo, Viscant, and...is that it?
I think there needs to be a balance between working hard, and no effort required to win. Playing Chris helps me put things in perspective, the most honest characters in the game are probably PW, Hsien-Ko and Chris. He doesn't have any cheap tactics, he has sub-optimal movement, and he isn't a "cool" character. But he just feels so fun to play by laming out. I don't play any zoners in any other game except MvC3, and Chris is the most fun zoner by far for me. He hits like a truck so when you get that hit it's gonna hurt. And it feels satisfying to win with a mid-tier character I guess.
Chris is honest, but you getting mauled and saved by Vajra and then getting a full combo is not.
I swear this happened once a game. Nerf Vajra.
Also, his grenades are fucking dumb. One of my top 3 hated things in this game.
If the fire can't hit me, then the graphic should go the fuck away. I never know when the hell I can move, which is why I sometimes just sit there eating grenades and up-backing, because the developers made it impossible to know what's going on visually. I would really like for them to fix the visuals on that sometime.
I think it's smarter to burn meter with Dormammu, playing Phoenix like Filipino Champ is the better approach because it's better to scare people into making Phoenix think she's the most threatening character on the team, but they don't realize that, both options are terrifying.
That's what I'd like to accomplish.
You call that honest?!
Since for geographic reasons I can't play with marvel GAF online, I asked a while ago if anybody would be willing to critique my sorry ass if I recorded some online matches(Karst at least mentioned he'd give it a shot). I recorded a random one to test and see if the quality from my point and shoot digital camera was good enough that people could tell what's going on. Thoughts?

I found it totally watchable. rofl @ the end there, and Phoenix Wright players that call the Maya shield and then dash back infuriate me. This isn't Flame Carpet morons, you need to run
into the shield to be safe.
