They delivered with Wright in my eyes. Nova looks kinda boring to me though, but that might be that whole "eat my red life" thing he has going for him.

Phoenix Wright is so amazing, he has his own theme song, that overrides others theme songs when he transforms into Turnabout Stance.
Not even 5 Bar Dark Phoenix has that.

I've sat back and made the best of the game despite it's shortcomings here and there. UMvC3 will look like the far better game too, but if this is real and Hsien-Ko hasn't gotten her pendulum cancel back then Capcom can fuck off for all I care. Neo_G... I don't even know what to say.
wow

Just heard the interview:Grecco said:
-Jill's nerfs were mostly centered around Mad Beast which doesn't change her too much since only .01% of the FGC will ever figure out how to use it.
-Nova's beam could have possible lvl 3 damage
-The "Days of future past" poster doesn not mean too much. It was just Capcom having some fun.
-Seth prefers Captain crunch over Fruity pebbles
Frankly, I'm most disappointed in the Captain Crunch bit. I'm a Fruity pebbles man at heart myself. You should've listed the stuff you heard because it's not nearly as bad as it sounds.
Yeah, Capcom can jump off a cliff for all I care. A buff to her would've guaranteed a day one purchase for me, but I can totally test it out a friend's house instead.Mature said:

There are only a couple more things left that I'm curious about right now. I want to know how much health Nova has and if he has some sort of way to control the amount of Red health being spent.
If he has high health and a degree of control over Red Health expenditure he WILL be scary.
He is no good in the game and it seems like he is there just because he is a tentacle monster... I mean did they give him ANY redeming qualities? Hell, I think Hsien-Ko is only in the game because they needed a female with tentacle related dialogue(besides Morrigan's freaky ass) since Marvel would never allow it for their females lol.
I hope they start taking DLC characters more seriously...

New character breakdown vid is rendering now and will be available tonight!
Also,
Also,
Nova is going to be on my team. I like the dude a lot.
Wright looks even better than I imagined him being. Definitely going to have to make a Wright team... Maybe Wright/Iron Man/Doom.
Nova looks pretty boss too. So far all of the new characters demand me to put in some lab time at the very least(except maybe Nemesis I never really liked heavy characters.)
Hooray!

I love how even the hit counter is trolling in Phoenix's L3 super. That shit goes from 26 hits to 36 hits after three pieces of evidence hits, THEN goes from 36 to 39 when he points at them lol. I guess the "KO" counts as two hits...

Seth basically said that Jill was way better than anyone thought because no one ever played her. Can't really say he's wrong.DR2K said:

Might have helped if she wasn't DLC, wasn't a version of Jill nobody wanted to begin with, and if they weren't pumping out a whole new version 10 months after the original dropped. Not exactly the best situation to completely breakdown a character in a brand new game.

K, so I missed pretty much everything after the stream started, could someone give me a short recap? Please? Also a link to Seth demonstrating the characters if there's any.
Man, what were they thinking with adding Phoenix Wright - doesn't fit in at all, and that says plenty with such a varied roster - looks like TOO much of a joke character.
Nova looks cool, solid, but nothing too spectacular though - gonna watch the fight videos tomorrow, but just basing what I said on the two character debut trailers alone...

Phoenix Wright, Taskmaster, Hawkeye
Oh baby.
Also, LOL Tag Out Phoenix in Turnabout and Cornered keeps playing. I'll make him come in first, change him to Turnabout then tag him out so the theme plays forever.

SRK's headline for Seth's video is going to rattle cages really hard.
I hope they go with at least a couple of veterans on each side for DLC or the final disc so that we can get more unique characters instead of blends(Vergil and Nova come to mind even though they are alright).
I don't even think that it is Nova's fault. This is probably what happens when you've got to make something out of a character with no moving media for source material. I'd say we got lucky... all things considered.WinFonda said:

It's all sticks down there at the Capcom booth, I'm total rubbish with sticks. Still, fun to get whooped.

You should put Amaterasu on point, get your Reflector out, call Nova's reflector, and then call a third one (MODOK's?). REFLECTIN' IT UP!
She did 600K with 0 meter. People were just too lazy to learn her.
Fruity Pebbles suck. It's all about the Cocoa Pebbles. Captain Crunch is definitely superior to Fruity Pebbles, though.
It's almost like it's a bad thing for Niitsuma to like the character...
You're running out of spots!
No doubt one of the best. Only three things guarantee a kill on my Phoenix: Mystic Stare assist, Jam Session, and Super-Skrull.

Phoenix, MODOK, and Joe.

After watching Nova gameplay a lot more, I think maybe his "uninspiring" feeling is due to how varied and experimental so much of the cast is. Taken on his own, Nova seems very well represented.
At most he's lacking maybe one overtly "cosmic" special move and/or a really elaborate level 3 hyper.
Thing is, the game does need an even balance of down to earth anchors (anchors in more ways than gameplay), and he fits that role well.
Besides, I'm actually quite interested in him due to how he plays, with his TVC-like red health manipulation.

Yeah losing 3 bars to lose the ability to block and control your character is soo good. having a situational super otg is great, average damage potential at best. She sucked and she was a high execution character. Getting nerfs on top of all that.
I mean they're obviously balancing this game so that the new characters are going to over powered, especially considering how unpopular most of them are. It's just weird the seperate charge characters aren't getting the same treatment.

Nice video, Max.
I just noticed that dog running across the NYC stage at about five minutes and ten seconds. It actually hurt Nova when it ran past him. Is the dog something specific to the NYC stage or Haggar? :SLeMaximilian said:
