UMVC3: Phoenix Wright and Nova Revealed!

I want tha tmove to be in and THAT MOVE GOT IN! I was so psyched when I saw it.

Speaking of moves that we wanted in, now that I think about it, I'm kinda disappointed he didn't get to use his magatama and the psyche-locks . We got a really useful Maya though, so I can't complain :D
 
Still listening to Nova's theme on loop, god damn. Most heroic theme in the game maybe.

Now I wonder what RR"s theme is going to be since he and Nova should thematically fit together...

Blocking DURING an air dash and blocking AFTER an air dash are two completely different things.

Zero and Ammy could block before their air dashes even finished or before they canceled into anything. Other characters have to like cancel out of their dash with a normal and then block. Zero/Ammy could do it whenever. It was sort of balanced in the sense that they had really slow dashes to begin with.
I just tested it and they're blocking while the airdash animation is still going. I tested Dante, Trish, Viper, Chun-Li, Thor, Joe, Doom, Tron, and Iron-Man against Dorm's Chaotic Flame, and they all blocked it mid air-dash. C.Viper can even block out of her down-forward tridash. Didn't try everyone, though.

A little extra testing shows that the first few frames of the airdash are vulnerable, but I gave it a shot with Zero and he is vulnerable at the same point as well(before he has any forward momentum). Ammy has startup vulnerability as well, but her vulnerable period is much shorter. Backwards airdash is vulnerable, even for Zero. So, yes, it's a universal change. :P

No kidding, all he needs is someone to pelt the enemy at range while he scurries around, then. Hm, Doom? Doom is never a bad choice for assists.

I was thinking Hawkeye myself.

It's not just new models, it's move set planning, animations, hit box programming, balancing, play testing, voice acting and possible rights issues. So many characters get turned down because Marvel just doesn't want them in (like Venom).

Yes because Venom is irrelevant except if it is the new one. Marvel is not going to put in anything that largely diverts from what is currently going on in the Marvel Universe.
 
Phoenix Wright reveal was fantastic.

Someone needs to check if you can switch him out during his turnabout stance and call him for powered up assist.

That's crazy I always got tagged during dash but I guess I might be pressing a button during the checks I did in the lab (or double tapped air dash?).

I will add it in the changelog after this stream is done. Definitely want Seth to cover these new characters.
 
Not a fan of Phoenix's VA, I don't think its the same person who did the few clips in the AA games, but this is likely the guy who will voice him in the Layton x PW game.

I really can't follow Phoenix's move set, I'll have to wait till I can actually try him in game.

I still say this game should have 60+ characters.

There is no reason why it shouldn't have all the Marvel 2 characters at some point. The Marvel vs. Capcom series is in the god tier of fan service video games, alongside Smash Bros. Just throw everyone in there for fuck sakes, enough with the politics.

I rather have UMvC3 be a good game unlike Brawl and have more variety in its characters than Melee where they were taking shortcuts to add as many characters as possible.

Nova puts out some floating energy thing? Don't remember seeing that in the trailers.
It's in the game play videos. Trailer doesn't do Nova justice. It takes up red life though.

One of Nova's assist is his Human Rocket Punch. Probably wall bounces an aerial opponent.
 
what I think the rest of the costumes for PW will be now.

1P- Phoenix and Maya regular clothes
2P - Edgeworth and Mia (although I think its Kay as the costume source)
3P - Sissel and Lynne colors
4P - Apollo and Trucy
5P - Pink phoenix with Pearl colored Maya
6P - El Tigre and his partner in crime
 
Seems like there's a Godot alt color for Phoenix. Also:

Looks like a barrier.

I REALLY doubt that:

She looks NOTHING like the color scheme used on the Edgeworth alt.
 
Just noticed the seperate evidence meter at the bottom of wright's side. Does that mean he has to find all three pieces of evidence to increase the damage for his level 3? It better be fucking godlike, in that case.
 
Psylocke has only been apprehended! She can maybe still escape!

=(

...also, that Mega Man trolling is delicious. He better be DLC, along with some Spider Man villains.
