Other than a monster pizza slicer the size of Tron with an airdash that covers twice the space?
This is the only game where he can't follow up Chaos Dimension. That's his deal, he's THE level 3 Marvel character. He was the first character to get one.

Frank West is too hard to balance like Wright. Theoretically these characters when powered up SHOULD be #1 and #2 in the game otherwise they would be bad. Frank getting 15% nerf on normal chip is very substantial as it is. The Drink buff makes LVL1 Frank able to take a gamble more freely.
Also the assist you replaced is actually beastly when leveled up although with the nerf there would be no reason not to pick Cart over it.
I know for sure that Snapshot being punishable on HIT is stupid and an oversight. You don't need to make it -5 on block, you just need to make it more acceptable on hit. -25 on hit is RIDICULOUS!
Also a lot of characters have follow ups after lvl3, some even have full combos. Make Shuma's LVL 3 comboable!!!

I'm really worried about XF3 Shuma-Gorath taking out entire teams with 5 bars.

There were no level 3s in COTA.
Clearly the solution is a 100% speed boost and no damage boost.
But you said Shuma can't get in as a solo character.
A lot of characters with that many bars and XF can wipe a team. X23 is one of them. Plus Chaos Dimension really ticks down the XF time where as its much faster with X23.
You can add that combos after Chaos Dimension are subject to max damage scaling. That wouldn't matter in XF3 but it would when not using XF.

Getting in is kind of irrelevant when you have an unblockable.
1) XFC guard cancel something.
2) Kill that character.
3) Level 3.
4) Unblockable the next character.
5) Kill that character, building 1 bar in the process.
6) Level 3.
7) Unblockable the next character.
8) Win.
That's what I'm worried about.
Giving Shuma-Gorath a 100% speed boost would be pretty hilarious, but I can't back that, haha.

I will fight you to the death.
Those lists for Frank and Chris are pretty good, honestly. Only thing I can really think of are...
Frank West
[+] Roundhouse Kick L now special cancelable
[+] Snapshot 0 on hit
[-] Damage scaling reduction from 20/20 to 15/15.
I'm not so sure on the damage scaling one, but Frank West does ridiculous amounts of damage in level 4/5 so...
I don't know what Roundhouse Kick L is for, so I gave it some slight utility...? Maybe? Fake low canceled straight into high? Fake roll canceled into high/low? *shrug*
Chris
[+] Grenade Toss L now -3 on block, down from -7. Pushback increased slightly.
Chris doesn't really have a safe blockstring. I never pushblock him, since I can punish him with a throw or a normal if he's not properly assisted.
Can't think of much else. I'll stew on it a little bit more.

How do you guys feel about S+A being Shopping Cart for level 1 Frank?

He'll already be a great anchor just by having the unblockable and the 8-way air dash and other changes. We're trying to remove stuff that prevents the other side from playing, remember?
Yeah, they're pretty solid characters right now. They just need a few touch-ups.
Snapshot +0 on hit might be a bit too much, since the difference in its hitstun and blockstun is 2. That would mean it's only -2 on block. I made it -5 on block, -3 on hit.
According to the guide (lol), Roundhouse Kick L bypasses pushblock. So if you do c.LMH, Roundhouse Kick L, and your opponent pushblocked as you start to do the move, it has no effect on you. The guide recommends mixing it up with Barrel Roll.
I'm all for a damage nerf on Frank.
Chris

Chris has safe blockstrings. s.H is -2 on block, c.H is -1 on block. I still like the change, though. I'll make it +1 on block.
On the topic of Frank's L Kick. That's actually a big part of his mix ups. The straight kick is just for combos, the low version is for the low attack which he needs. The fake kick is for feinting the low then going straight into j.M paddle saw overhead or the Roll. Its an extremely effective mix up as long as you train your opponent to look for the low kick.
You don't really gain much from making it special cancelable IMO.

Maybe. It's not really about the character that gets killed by the unblockable that bothers me, it's the potential that the next character could die without playing after that. That's even worse than Spiral Swords and Ouroboros, and we need to stay away from it. I do like the idea of a follow-up combo, but I'd need someone to crunch some numbers to make me feel better about the potential damage that can be done.
Yep. And a side discussion on level 3 follow-ups.
I guess I should move toward all level 3s having better utility. Let me make some changes...
Fair enough.

Here's the current list for Shuma, any last requests? I feel like he's the big body Nova with these changes.
Shuma-Gorath:
*Air dash distance doubled, total frames remain unaltered
*Mystic Smash is throw invincible
*j.S knocks down opponents right next to him
*Mystic Stare’s charge time reduced to 30 frames; assist now shares the point version’s functionality.
*Mystic Ray recovery reduced by 10 frames across the board; charge time reduced to 30 frames; durability changed to 5x1 for L version, 10x1 for M version, 15x1 for H version; assist startup reduced to 47 frames.
*Strange Gaze, jH steal 20,00 vitality and 1000 meter, damage reduced to 20,000
*Shuma-Gorath's hitbox, hurtbox and character model are increased in size by 50%
*Minimum damage scaling on normals and specials reduced to 15%.
*j.M animations switched.
*Untechable Time after Chaos Dimension increased to allow OTGs
For flavor. BTW, it's super hard to punish on block. But you can't really do anything with it. It's like his version of Dante's little guitar slide.

Sure. Only reason I listed it was because the other list had no mention of what it was on hit.
Yeah, I don't see Roundhouse Kick L working that way. lol.
Well, s.H leaves him pretty close to his opponent, so characters with fast normals can still just push a button afterwards since his buttons aren't that great. I just want something to be relatively safe on block that pushes characters away since he's not really supposed to be in characters faces.
Fake a low, then surprise barrel roll! BOOM.

This is still a terrible list. And it is not the current list. I spent an hour discussing my changes and then you just posted a bunch of random stuff.
j.S needs to be safe on block, since it's his only incoming mix-up. Make it special cancelable, and you have an interesting move.
He can't open people up with his current moveset. He needs an 8-way air dash.
Your Strange Gaze change is either pointless (you never use Strange Gaze in combos) or overpowered (Phoenix).
Changing his model is asking for all sorts of trouble; no way can you predict the effects that will have on his game, comboability, etc. It's far too big of a change for a patch. That's MvC4 right changes right there. You know I want him to be bigger, too.
The j.M animations do not need to be switched.
Mystic Smash needs a bigger hitbox; even if it can't be thrown, everything beats it in priority. It needs more.
The only thing from that list that's different from mine that I'm open to is comboing off of Chaos Dimension.
This is the current list:
Shuma-Gorath:
*Air dash movement extended to 8 directions; distance increased by 50%; total time to completion unaltered.
*Improved ground dash speed by 50%; total time to completion unaltered.
*Mystic Smash hitbox increased considerably; startup reduced by 5 frames across the board.
*j.S is now special cancelable, and characters knocked down by it during air series land next to Shuma-Gorath instead of far away.
*Mystic Stare’s recovery reduced by 15 frames across the board; charge time reduced to 30 frames; assist now shares the point version’s functionality.
*Mystic Ray recovery reduced by 10 frames across the board; charge time reduced to 30 frames; hitstun increased slightly on all versions; durability changed to 5x1 for L version, 10x1 for M version, 15x1 for H version; assist startup reduced to 47 frames.
*Strange Gaze now turns opponents to stone for 90 frames; aerial opponents fall to the ground; usable once per combo.
*Shuma-Gorath's hitbox is now more consistent during combos.
*Minimum damage scaling on normals and specials reduced to 15%.
*j.M hitbox increased significantly.
Doing stuff like air dash behind an opponent, j.S, Mystic Smash cancel to cross up makes him chaotic.
I am interested in him comboing after Chaos Dimension, though.

This is a post I made about Chris a long time ago. The horizontal firing in the air I guess wouldn't apply since we aren't adding new moves 
It would also be cool to be able to block after a j. down+H. Not necessary, but nice.
I'd also like to add that shotgun should not miss at point blank.....it really pisses me off.

I feel like Chris' Shotgun being rotated up 15 degrees would solve a lot of Chris player's complaints about not being able to fight at that angle without losing the utility of the move or creating a new one.
Does Vergil's Helmbreaker deserve to be special cancelable then?
What does Shuma need an up-back dash for?
You keep saying that he can't open people up, but refuse to acknowledge that I gave him Nova's forward airdash with no startup frames and a more ambiguous crossup normal.
Mystic Smash's hitbox was made better by increasing the distance between his hit and hurtbox by 50%.

Added this.
Curious about thoughts on the second half of this.
[QUOTE="God's Beard!";72224431]Does Vergil's Helmbreaker deserve to be special cancelable then?[/quote]
1) Different character, different move. You might as well equate Hadoken to Dark Matter because they're projectiles.
2) Vergil has no aerial specials.
3) Helm Breaker is special cancelable on the ground. I'm not certain on whether I want to change that yet.
Air dash up-back when crossed under into j.S when a down-back air dash would not be safe. Think a little more before you ask this stuff; you're a creative guy. I know you're just being lazy and difficult.
This won't help. Nova's air dash works because he has the j.H/throw option select. Shuma-Gorath will want to j.M and will get air thrown instead or will have to go for the subpar j.H to be safe. That's just the very first layer of why that's a problematic addition.
They're not going to make him bigger for a patch. Let it go. It's a nice dream, but it's a dream for a new game.

Man, where has Zissou been?
Chris:
*Flamethrower vertical hitbox increased, slight upper body invincibility.
*Grenade fires now dim significantly when the active frames have finished.
*Flame Thrower damage reduced to 120,000 maximum.
*s.S now cancels Chris’ Grenade Launcher and Satellite Laser hypers.
*Prone Position now cancelable (jump cancelable? Special?; arguable)
*Combination Punch H has one hit of armor from frames 5-12.
*Grenade Toss L +1 on block.
*Combination Punch follow-up inputs made more lenient.
*Stun Rod now hits overhead; startup increased to 24 frames.
Assists: Gun Fire M, Grenade Toss H, Flamethrower
I'm not sure about Sweep Combination becoming a reversal - I'm curious what others think.

Uggh, I feel like you're turning Shuma into a character he's never been. No combo after Chaos Dimension, 8-way airdash...
He used to be a footsies and fireballs character with an insane hyper.
At least give him something cool like Mystic Ray carries people to the top of the screen on block instead of just making him another goomba stomper.
He's a space alien demonlord, he needs weird shit like Ashura Senkuu, not tridashes.

He has the best animations in the game. Maybe the most animation work put into him of any character.
He's only bad because Niitsuma thinks characters should either have good assists or good point abilities unless the character's name is Dante or Magneto (etc.). Mystic Ray is an incredible assist, so Shuma-Gorath has to be bad in Niitsuma's eyes.

I'm ready for another round of games is any PSNer's wanna play?
That's actually a legitimate change. Although you have to make the same change for other characters too like Dormammu and Sentinel.
Best buff ever. Chris now finally High tier.
I honestly thought about posting it but thought it would get rejected fast. This makes Chris extremely lethal because now you have to worry about chip damage, throw game and overhead.
That wouldn't solve anything because that's not really the area Chris is that weak against because that area is usually cover by a mine. The problem is when people are camping at the upper corner of the screen shooting downward, a space that Chris can only cover with assists. So if Chris for example had Deadpool's up guns or his M guns in the air, that would rectify the issue. To be honest, even if he could fire his measly pistol in the air straightforward that would be enough.

I see what you did there and I really don't care much for it.
I honestly think upper body invincibility on Flamethrower is too much. Tri dash characters would have a shit time getting in on him and since it's special cancelable it makes it even tougher to get in on. That vulnerable hit box on his head is what makes the move fair.
As an assist it would double as a pseudo Tron Gustaff Flame with superior lock down, chip and combo utility. Just having Flamethrower as an assist would be more than enough... it's not supposed to be an AA move.

He can already do that. Making it special cancelable would mean if you cancel it too early it fails to become a real mix up.

LOL. I'm just saying that giving Chris a 24 frame overhead isn't that big of a deal. It's bright blue and shiny so you can react to it, and honestly I always thought it was an overhead anyway. What's so bad about it in your opinion?
Yeah, it might be in retrospect. I'll swap that up a bit.

You know I want the size boost, but Capcom would never go for it, and it complicates the character balance too much. You and I have no idea how adding 50% to all of the hitboxes on his attacks would affect the neutral game. If no new animations is a rule, remodeling and redoing all of Shuma-Gorath's hitboxes is definitely out of the question.

Well if Grenade Toss L is +1 on block then I suppose Sweep Combination doesn't have to be invincible. My issue was that I'd either get pushblocked during blockstrings and Bionic Armed/Chaotic Flame etc or I wouldn't get pushblocked and just straight punished. It sucked.
It would still be nice if it was invincible. Fuck Spencer. Same reason I want Dark Dimension to be a lvl 1 that does 150-200k

Then it's in Dahbomb's hands. You best pray to the Lord of the Dark Dimension. Because nothing but cruelty awaits otherwise.
Best of three sets, once in MVC3, once in MVC2, once in Marvel Superheroes.
Chris' whole game plan is about mine set up and chip... forcing you to block and take a massive amount of chip or try to attack and get hit by or trade against a mine. There will be many times where Chris will have you under a mine and you are blocking or a mine is about to go off and he is going to go for a throw. A lot of people have a bad habit of mashing after throw tech but against Chris that is a death sentence because mashing while the mine goes off is an instant kill for him as you will just mash into a puddle of fire. His ground throw game is really, really scare because of this... he even has tick throw stuff and his air throw game is good too. With an overhead especially with so much shit going on in the screen it makes his mine pressure game really scare. Get hit low? Die. Try to mash a button? Die. Try to throw tech wrong? Die. Get grabbed? Die. Now you get hit by overhead? Die.
Chris does have situational fuzzy overheads with Jam Session though so it's not like this would be a HUGE change but it would still be a substantial buff. I don't think this will make him "OMFG NEW ZERO NERF PLZ" but it's enough to place Chris up a tier. It would rectify a major fault in Chris and that was the serious lack of mix ups.
This isn't a big deal balance wise but the problem is that this is an unrealistic suggestion. This requires reworks of every move hit box/hurt box, his character model etc. It's not as simple as taking Shuma Gorath and stretching him 50%.
I still support comboable Chaos Dimension but this change is just silly.
