Taking the lack of RR that bad, huh

Yes. Yes I do.

that he isn't a good fit for the game.


Again your opinion, which clearly doesnt go with what Capcom has done in its fighting games. A servbot was in Marvel2 for crying out loud.
 
Really excited to play PW. Also think his VO sounds great. He's not too wacky and he's not shouting either. Sounds plenty enthused to me to be dolling out justice, I don't want him to sound like he's on DBZ, lol. Nova's VO is cool too.
 
It's confirmed that Captain Commando has something on him as well (I think Slain). Look through the thread for a better screen grab.

Only Megaman doesn't have anything on him. It's a direct troll and you guys put too much thought into it. MMX and Gene are next in line for UMVC3 anyway so if they plan on doing another iteration to the game... they will be in it for sure.

Well 4 of my mains are not in the game. Captain Commando, War Machine, Megaman, and Jin.. (Stars Jill too.)

My whole team is gone. War Machine isn't much of a loss due to Iron Man but still. They didn't add any of those just so they can add wack ass Phoenix Wright?

C'mon son.
Captain comando is trash besides his assist pick dante for ghetto version plus an actual good character, war machine was just a shitty iron man unless you were playing mvc1 then well he WAS iron man with a different name, megaman just use arthur, jin? Jin is almost as bad as venom why the hell do people even like him? It's the taunt huh?

I mean there are characters that already play like the ones you like, why not just use them. You do like the play styles right? Not just the character.... at least I HOPE that's why you use them.

I see them as DLC.

I think the thing with Nemesis is that capcom wanted their own sentinel type finally. I mean there is a monster hunter monster but those guys didn't want anything to do with the game. So I think we got our winged beast pick split along with big dude. Fine by me though as I would have firebrand over any other character capcom could add yes even PW.
Yeah, I'll happily admit that Nemesis did fill out that void Capcom-side... I just wish it hadn't been him. Don't like zombies. Firebrand is awesome, though, and I'm happy he's in, too. I would never have even guessed at him being in, but I'm looking forward to him. And to go into Training Mode with Arthur and Lance Firebrand to death repeatedly. I played Ghosts and Goblins as a child, got unfinished business with Firebrand and his kind. "For the Princess!"

Still, my major hype for UMvC3 is Phoenix Wright. From "HOW?!" when the rumors about him started to "Oh, AWESOME!" today after seeing how. I want to play him now.

Or Viper - she has the ground pound and will get a costume that reminds many people of him. So... =p

Again, I haven't said it is anything else.... Im not going to repeat myself a third time. Im sure we are all adult enough and intelligent enoughto not need me to type "IMO" before every sentence.

and for the record, I actually thought Marvel 1 was far superior than Marvel 2, in terms of fitting and balanced characters. I understand its popularity but to me it was a clusterfuck.
 
I just like how PW's theme is so chill and laid-back. Cool music to fight to... Then all of a goddamn sudden...

CORNERED LIKE A BITCH!

OH OH OH! WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?

DARK PHOENIX RISING? WESKER WITH UROBOROS? HYPER SALTYNAL FORCE?

Phoenix Wright: Bringing the MAHVEL and HYPE to MAHVEL vs CAPCOM 3: HOME OF THE FREEEEEEEE HYPEEEEEE
 
Turns out Phoenix Wright's VA is Sam Riegel. Not a bad choice, but I'm still curious about his Japanese voice. In my opinion, his Japanese voice actor doesn't seem to have much range from the few roles I've heard him in, so I'm kind of worried.

I know what you mean but some of my mains from MVC1 and 2 are not in the game such as cyclops and cable but I don't mind, I look at the characters they have included and am more than happy.

I want more characters the better.
 
Are people that reluctant to have new things? I get having a favorite character you want to see, but I know absolutely nothing about characters like Iron Fist, Firebrand, Nova and Rocket Raccoon which, for me, makes them really exciting. More so than seeing Bison or Guile for the 100th time.

Phoenix Wright: Bringing the MAHVEL and HYPE to MAHVEL vs CAPCOM 3: HOME OF THE FREEEEEEEE HYPEEEEEE

I approve this post!
 
Can't wait to rushdown Phoenix Wright players while they "gather" their little evidence pieces.

The best tool that Wright has on point is that Maya Barrier of his. It gives him enough time to gather some evidence but it has a long cooldown (because Maya takes forever to get off screen).

However when I saw that this final stance actually has a timer on it... yeah I don't think he is going to be THAT godlike unless he has some totally bull shit 50/50 from across the screen like Phoenix.
 
Basic level theory fighter time!

Could Phoenix Wright be a Dark Phoenix counter? If his Level 3 has a hitbox of "yes" and is as fast as it looks, you pretty much can't hit buttons against a Phoenix Wright who's in Turnabout stance. And a lot of players instinctively do something when they pop dark. I'm thinking we'll see Dark Phoenix on trial more than once in the tournaments, IF Phoenix Wright is otherwise decent to good.

I sure wish Phoenix Wright was just like Vergil... Or shit, make the game be just "Vergil vs Vergil 3: Fate of two Vergils and Dante and maybe Trish too"

And have the vergil mechanics be vergil like and vergil vergil vergil, vergil vergil vergil! VERGIL vergil VERRRRRGIL!

...

Vergil.

Bison wouldnt be a bad add in the future. Capcoms side could use more villians.
I'm sure they have villains in other franchises too :p
Jet Black or Alastor, please
 
One question though:- why so much debate on the Days of future past stage poster?

Isn't it supposed to be a "bad" future where most of the worlds super heroes are dead anyway?

I just thought the poster was just keeping with the theme and didnt really mean anything.
 
Good god Phoenix Wright is so hype. He's my main for sure.

I need to find out who does his voice though. It sounds so familiar. I do like it, but I do agree that he should say Take THAT not Take This and he needs to shout OBJECTION!

So if you switch out PW does he keep his evidence? I might have to rewatch the trailer.

I wanna see turnabout stance with all evidence + X factor lvl3 and lvl3 hyper.

Dark Phoenix Wright Indeed

I can't wait for the courtroom motif being applied to MvC because of Phoenix Wright. Will undoubtedly make for some excellent trash talk.

It doesnt mean anything, other than a brilliant troll by Capcom (look at the reaction that poster has had)

PW on point with Sent drones, Doom missles, or Strange beams. Gotta stay safe while getting that intel!

I think I just had a Vergasm from the Vergil overload. I want Vergil/Vergil/Vergil vs Vergil/Vergil/Vergil for EVO 2012!

His final stance has a timer on it and by the time you get DP out he might be out of the stance and has to build his "case" back up.

And Magneto's LVL3, which has no prerequisite to it kills, Phoenix in 1 shot with his LVL3. And it hits everywhere so Phoenix has to think twice about pressing a button. Hawkeye too his LVL1 hits everywhere and is instant plus can be linked together.

The DP era has pretty much ended or at least she isn't going to be a dominant force in tournament anymore. 90% of the system wide changes in UMVC3 were made to nerf Phoenix. Nerfed X factor scaling/damage, decreased timer on XF, TACs changed up, meter gain reduced, snap back duration increased, raw tag ins no longer hit overhead, Phoenix herself nerfed, characters given meter stealing moves and other stuff.

Vergil.
This post needs more "Vergil".

I was only making an observation on Phoenix Wright. He's like the polar opposite of Vergil or a fundamental MVC3 character so me saying that he should be like this or that is pointless. But a potential weakness is still something to be noted.
 
On characters: yeah, it is actually understandable if someone is so unlucky that every single character they used in one game doesn't make the cut to the next game. Yet, when so many characters from a prior entry do make it, and so many new characters who are interesting additions are added, that makes it bad luck. Not bad game development.

I don't pretend to theoryfight as well as you but, it seems Nick's stance meter lasts a really long time, much longer than any other character with a metered mode. I suppose that could provide enough time to do some serious damage to the other team if he has the tools.
 
Well now that we got two characters based on jam. Maybe capcom can throw me a bone and give me another character like Ky besides taskmaster.

Charge characters don't work well in this game.

They worked in 2.... My cousin used charge characters excusively. I don't play as them

But he used Ryu, Guile, Nash, or Bison, Guile, Nash.


In MVC3 I had to use the team of Wolverine, Dante, Iron Man. Everybody uses Dante. I rather have not used him but I like selection of different moves in the characters I pick.

Since my old team was gone, I had to adjust. So when you see characters from none fighting / action games in a fighting game, it's bs.

C'mon son.

I lost my team too : Psylocke / Cable / CapCom

But I still prefer a unique character like Wright than a beatiful and sexy shoto like Psylocke

Spencer is my favorite character right now , and when he was announced I said WTF capcom
 
patrickthehedgehog said:
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.

Well yeah, MvC3 is pathetic compared to SFIV in that regard but what you gonna do?
 
HK-47 said:
Well yeah, MvC3 is even more pathetic compared to SF x TK in that regard but what you gonna do?

Correction. I can't believe SF x TK got more characters and more contents than MVC3 itself have; (even you count umvc3 too)
 
Dahbomb said:
raw tag ins no longer hit overhead
When was this confirmed?


Also charge characters are annoying in versus games. See: Frank West. I hope they change his hop forward move to something like f+H and maybe nerf the low property of it to make up for it.

Yeah, it takes about 3 Marvel seconds to deplete 1/6 of his meter, so in total it should be like 18 Marvel seconds. The way I see it it's pretty much X-factor for him without having to waste X-factor activation.

Heezy said:

And how many of them were actually good? None. Mid tier at best.
