The "I ALREADY DON'T LIKE THIS CHARACTER HE SUCKS" stuff is hilarious.

The only people who have played the game and talk openly about it seem to prefer him and it's not like you can even judge how the metagame is going to play out six months after release, much less a month before release.

 

[Seven Force]

Holy fuck at those turnabout stance normals.

 

[h3ro]

Nova looks dope! Anyone know if he has an air dash?

I'm not sure how PW's evidence mechanic works, is it like picking up Cody's knife in the SF series? Dude looks like the ultimate troll character, sorry servbot.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

And thats why crossover universe games are fucking awesome, because you can make characters like Phoenix Wright in a fighting games that will make their fans weep in happiness and be a fun character.

Because that video was random, fun and awesome.

 

[crimsonspider89]

Nova has a barrier as well. And his OTG punch is overhead. Sweet.

Damn, Nova is looking dangerous.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

It's Capcom - they'll put a joke character in the game because it's expected.

At least it's Phoenix and not fucking Dan again or even Servbot.

 

[Dahbomb]

And People already calling Phoenix a joke character. Joke characters doesn't necessarily translate into bad characters.

He IS a joke character... but no one is saying he's a bad character (as in tournament viability).

 

[Luigi87]

My only regret... is they chose Objection, instead of Investigation~Cornered as his main theme.

Edit: Disregard this.

 

[Sixfortyfive]

HIS ASSIST IS ROCKET THE DOG!

Missile.

 

[IntelliHeath]

HIS ASSIST IS ROCKET THE DOG!

I thought it was Missile! O_O

BUT YEEEEEEEEEEEA!

 

[shaowebb]

Turns out he shoots those lasers with evidence. Any evidence he has he can apparently either throw or use the present option to shoot lasers.

Also notice when he has all the right evidence he enters a boost mode where he's gold and all his pointing increases in range with a huge pointer aura. Also his damage looks buffed too.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

My only regret... is they chose Objection, instead of Investigation~Cornered as his theme.

Cornered becomes his theme when he goes into that stance. Which is a brilliant idea in my opinion.

 

[SmithnCo]

at 2:04 did wright randomly fall over? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez9O-FJYoew

tripping in umvc3?

I think it's to keep you from hoarding evidence for too long? Not sure... the evidence "bar" drains when it happens.

 

[enzo_gt]

Whoa what did Nova throw out at 0:53?

I'm intrigued, Nova looking more unique!

Spoiler

Or like MODOK.

Ooh, that's how that worked. Honestly I totally missed that functionality. Disregard previous post.

 

[Anasui Kishibe]

oh boy

that's what fan service is about most of the time

 

[TheSeks]

Probably his version of Deadpools teleport.

Gravimetric pulse. Looks like a shield. Also it appears Maya can put up a shield for Phoenix too. Anyone else notice how nice Nova's beam cuts through stuff in his trailer, or how useful his single shot hidden missile thingy looks. Fast and big hit box on that thing.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

well there's just one thing left to do

play pheonix wright

no thank you.

Enjoy your character though. (Not being sarcastic)

As ive said before, Ive got my Vergil, Dante, Strider dream team. While Id love Gene, CapCom and Jin for my B team, they can put ronald Mcdonald in the game for all its going to effect me.

Nova looks abit better in action here...He looks fun to play as, but i dunno...there is something "missing" from his moveset.. I dont like the way that you could swap him out for cannonball and use almost exactly the same animations and moves.

 

[patrickthehedgehog]

His face could use a little more animation in close-ups. Looks somewhat dead without his crazy expressions. I guess it's no different than other characters in this game.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I also how they use Maya as many of his moves.

Lol at the people that dont want him in.
You know that this games are fan service games no? If this game and Super Smash didnt had wacky chracters all over the place the game wouldnt be as good.

 

[Dahbomb]

Oh shit Nova and Wright 3D models detected.

None for Vergil and Iron Fist.... BOOO!!!

 

[LiK]

Will master PW and beat the shit outta all you haters.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Looks fantastic! How can anyone not love Phoenix Wright in this game?!

 

[AwakenedCloud]

Hype overload! My Computer gave me the Blue Screen for the first time in months.
I hope Wright is viable, but I'll use him either way. No matter what he's going to take a lot of lab time to get good with.

 

[Diprosalic]

stupid question: did we knew about them already or is this totally new?

 

[Kai Dracon]

He IS a joke character... but no one is saying he's a bad character (as in tournament viability).

If someone wins Evo with Nick I'm going to laugh and laugh and...

 

[SmithnCo]

Probably his version of Deadpools teleport.

That makes more sense, the bar drains before it actually happens.

 

[JeTmAn81]

At what time of which trailer does Missile show up? We are talking Missile from Ghost Trick, right?

 

[Sickboy007]

PW has godly damage and decent health? WAT

 

[TheSeks]

As ive said before, Ive got my Vergil, Dante, Strider dream team. While Id love Gene, CapCom and Jin for my B team, they can put ronald Mcdonald in the game for all its going to effect me.

Your butthurt is delicious. I'd love to see them nerf Dante, Vergil-clone and Strider and have Phoenix and Jean Grey/Dark Phoenix teams totally break the game just to hear you cry more about this "waste of a character slot. BAWWW BAWWW BAWWWW."

At what time of which trailer does Missile show up? We are talking Missile from Ghost Trick, right?

...No? Missile the Dog from the last or third case of the first Ace Attorney?

 

[Skilletor]

It's inevitable in a cast of 50 character there will be people I don't like to use.

People bitching about P.Wright are silly.

 

[SmithnCo]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez9O-FJYoew

At 1:10. It's kinda hard to see, might be missile from case 1-5 of Ace Attorney.

EDIT: Case 1-4, rather.

 

[Kai Dracon]

His face could use a little more animation in close-ups. Looks somewhat dead without his crazy expressions. I guess it's no different than other characters in this game.

Actually, his facial animations are a problem - lots of other characters do have better expressions mid-battle. Nick feels oddly incomplete as if they're not done animating him.

Of course, a few of the reveal videos for vanilla MVC3 didn't have characters mouths animating for their English dialog yet IIRC...

 

[Moaradin]

I never got into MVC3. Give me Mega Man and I will buy UMvC3.

 

[BY2K]

He'll have a tournament life if he has a OTG.

I don't think so and that's actually what I prefer design-wise. Nova's flight is always super offensive, an air dash colliding with another character and not doing any damage or pushback would feel very off. Instead he gets airborn attacks that move him across the screen.

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh shit Nova and Wright 3D models detected.

None for Vergil and Iron Fist.... BOOO!!!

What? Make sense damnit!

If someone wins Evo with Nick I'm going to laugh and laugh and...

Well Seth Killian already has a 100% combo with in so I hope it happens!

 

[Scalpel Knight]

At what time of which trailer does Missile show up? We are talking Missile from Ghost Trick, right?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez9O-FJYoew Around 1:38. Also in the second PW/Nova trailer. And it's Missile from the Ace Attorney games.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I never got into MVC3. Give me Mega Man and I will buy UMvC3.

He didn't make the cut

 

[Htown]

Nova: I'm the only guardian this galaxy needs!

Cosmic shots fired!

 

[Touch]

I'm feeling Nova. Not so much PW. Even though he will most likely have something about him that makes him stupid good. Really this reveal only means one thing... we are getting closer to the RR hype

 

[Grecco]

Something i didnt notice, all of Novas 3 Hypers are level 1s. He has no level 3 specials

 

[RuinerPrime]

OMG NOVA SO BOSS

NOVA STICK ART JUSTIFED!

 

[JeTmAn81]

...No? Missile the Dog from the last or third case of the first Ace Attorney?

Oh, I forgot about the other one. How many freakin' Capcom games with Missile dogs are there?

 

[Briarios]

Whoa what did Nova throw out at 0:53?

I'm intrigued, Nova looking more unique!

Spoiler

Or like MODOK.

He says Gravimetric Pulse and it looks like he lays down a trap like Phoenix. Nova seems to have a lot of variety to his weapons.

 

[shaowebb]

Hmm...Nova seems to have some insanely low to the ground crouching normals. This guy will likely go under beams if you need it. Also Noticing he has a pretty sweet OTG in the firey ground punch and that his air combos seem to have moves that allow him to pause in the air for a second before redirecting. Plus he has air hypers to end with and air supers that quickly allow him to change sides. This guy will likely be a Storm style combo character at high level doing lots of fly unfly extensions in the air.

Another thing is that Maya STAYS OUT even if Phoenix is gone. She can't take damage and she is summonable for what looks like a lvl 1 charging attack where she windmills her arms. This means you could likely pop the Maya rushdown and DHC into some wicked crossup hypers like ricochet shinko (if available) or maybe even something as nice as whif the wesker grab hyper into teleport combo crossups.

Nice potential here once you look at it.

EDIT: ooh...Nova has 2 air hypers. He can go beam or orb. Very nice for finishing air combos from anywhere on the screen if they wall bounce out or your flight tries to end from too far away.

 

[enzo_gt]

Energy Gallant or whatever it's called by Nova goes away if he gets hit. (0:45 in Nova vs. Phoenix Wright vid). So not as great as hidden missiles, etc.

 

[dankir]

He IS a joke character... but no one is saying he's a bad character (as in tournament viability).

There's more to this game's characters than tournament viability, I don't see why that's the only thing people seem to base their character selection on.

Energy Gallant or whatever it's called by Nova goes away if he gets hit. (0:45 in Nova vs. Phoenix Wright vid).

Pretty sure is Energy Gauntlet.

 

[SolarPowered]

So far...

I like Phoenix' theme more than Nova's theme.

Nova's beast cannon hyper looks way too weaksauce for a guy with such meaty sound effects on contact. He better have 1 million health. He looks preeeety good otherwise.

Nova's ground walk/float seems very very fast. Am I the only one who noticed that?
