It's hilarious to see people take this at face value.

I read like 12 years ago Days of Future Past , i know the meaning of the poster , but neither you or I know the meaning it has in this game
 
Eh, this stream isn't worth it. I'll just wait for Maximillian's Phoenix Wright Assist Me introduction to be released.

Your observation is astute. But, tell me, what does this have to do with my jocularity at people who assume they do know what the meaning of the referential posters are?

Becq, you are a scholar.
 
OH SHIT.... Gravimetric Pulse is available as an assist. I wonder how that will work seems if you are going to tag him out when he has some red life and use that move as an assist for a one time thing only.

Other assists for Nova are the Centurion Art and the Nova Strike. Centurion Arts I believe is the OTG Slide and the other is the Human Rocket Punch that everyone was using on stream. Also noticed that his chest starts to glow more intense as he gets more damaged/red life. I wonder if he too has a Wesker-like mechanic to him.

I also saw a down forward dash on Nova meaning he most likely has an 8 way air dash! HYPE LEVELS RISING!

Nova uses up red life to power up attacks
Yeah we noticed this but I was asking about the flash before the special moves. Like can he feint out of that or can that be charged or something?
 
I absolutely love how they handled Wright. The amount of personality and style he brings to the table is great; people who think that he doesn't "fit in" confuse me, given the already absurdist nature of this game. Deadpool already hits people with a hyper combo bar, She-Hulk attacks people with a car, M.O.D.O.K is essentially a giant head, and Amaterasu is a wolf godess that slows down time. Having characters like this balances out the obligatory "cool" characters with trenchcoats and the like.
 
...I still can't get over the fact that Phoenix Wright SNEEZES on his opponents. Hilarious.

Nova, despite not having a level 3 as far as I know, is looking pretty beastly. Might pick him up when the game comes out.
 
There are more weird/unorthodox characters in the game than cool trenchcoat characters. I really wish people would stop saying that. There are 3 trenchcoat characters vs like 5 obscure characters.

Also most bland new character is by far Ghost Rider but it's also one of my favorites of the batch. J.S all day bitches. I think Nova is pretty cool and very solid, I would definitely get in the lab with him.
 
LOL Freenix Wright being exposed all day long.

People don't realize that some of those evidences are junk and you have to throw them away.

LMAO that Nova player burnt all his red life in Biometric Pulses. FFRRREEE!!!!!!

As stupid as it is, I want to use Nova on my team because his name is Dick Rider.

*Fry Squint*

not sure if serious.

His name is Richard Rider.

Edit: if you read nova's trade, you'd know his allies call him rich.

We really need to see someone who knows what they're doing run Phoenix Wright at some point.
 
Funny how in the trailer for Phoenix Wright, at 0:29 it has him on the stage with the wanted poster (of course Mega Man being on it), and Nick's two partners are Zero and Tron.

It's better than Nova players spamming Biometric Pulses and just killing themselves. That shit was hilarious!

S-KILL UP BITCHES!!!

A reason I want to at least learn basic Phoenix Wright is to make online opponents go "WTF?!" He's nuts.
 
Morrigan not being able to block during an air dash is lolz. She basically can't move at all without being vulnerable now.

Also the note on air dash change is WRONG because Dorm and Doom's air dashes have been made faster and probably Thor too if the new video was any indication.
Agreed.

9 - In MvC3, the amount of hit stun caused by assists was fixed, but in UMvC3 hit stun caused by assists will also be subject to hit stun deterioration during combos.
Wow, huge nerf to combos.

10 - For characters who have 8-way dashes, the speed on their down-back air dash has been slightly decreased.
Ah, that's why Magneto's looks ridiculously slow. I wonder about Dormammu...
