I would agree with this. I cringe at the thought of an overpowered DLC character.Sixfortyfive said:FWIW, I'd rather the DLC characters be underpowered than overpowered.
I'm waiting for the day when something like vanilla Phoenix is DLC. Pay2win.
I take some issues with saying that Shuma "isn't tournament viable" as-is, though. Wolverine/Shuma is more irritating to deal with than Wolverine/Akuma.
Shuma has a great assist of course. But facts are facts... Shuma is currently the worst character in the Marvel side.
Still too hard to say. By viable I mean tournament winning capability not "I am going to go into a tournament with my obscure low tier character and win a few matches" because then viability stretches down to even the worst character. I will say that the character diversity should be more in UMVC3 than in MVC3 starting out barring any ridiculous technology or pairing discovered.I wanted to find this little post in particular. I remember that you made a list with about 27 viable tournament characters in UMvC3. How much bigger does your list get now that we have seen the Marvel changelog? I'm thinking about 35-38 viable characters with the meh ones being Capcom characters and Shuma.
