UMVC3: Phoenix Wright and Nova Revealed!

The funny part is that if they actually fought neither would be able to kill each other. Vergil would probably need the Sparda sword to seal away Wolverine in another dimension or something... although if Vergil's Yamato slash can cross barriers then it might be able to slice through Adamantium.
Vergil's yamato slash won't cut through Adamantium, but you can overload Wolverine's healing abilities. You just have to keep slashing, pounding and shooting at him for a long ass time(emphasis on the long) until it shuts down. Definitely really hard to kill though.

A more interesting fight would be bone claw Wolvie instead. You wanna see what happens when you take 200lbs off Wolverine's frame and he doesn't have to deal with constant adamantium poison? Permanent XF3 comes to mind...
 
I don't think it's confirmed anywhere that you can fight against other players Offline in this mode or if there is a H&H training mode. That would be a major hype killer if it was CPU only in offline mode.

Vergil is the same... both the sons get tired after extreme blood loss. But they are both much faster than Wolverine and with Devil Trigger it ups their regeneration a ton. And their abilities aren't even fixed, they gain/learn new stuff like Dante can bend time, duplicate himself and fly. And no one really knows the properties of Vergil's dimensional slashes.

I want a Bone Claw Wolverine card please.

Vergil would have the advantage on the merit of his speed alone. That, coupled with his teleports/summoned swords, would give Wolverine a rough time getting in on him. The main problem Vergil would have is incapacitating Wolverine, but like Solarpowered mentioned, his healing factor can be overloaded and he can be put down, albeit for a short time.

Enjoy you salty fuck <3

7 minute fanart for your enjoyment. May it calm the rabid Raccoon in you.

N'awwwww.
Well after sleeping I've calmed anyway, but this is definitely awesome. Loving the good Admiral sitting on his hand and objecting too, haha.
And for 7 minutes that's pretty badass, as well.

Thanks. <3

Seeing Phoenix in this game got me interested in giving the series a try for the first time.

I really can recommend you at least getting Ultimate. It'll be only 40 bucks, and it's the fucking hypest game in existence.
 
I think your fanbase has a bit of an obsession with the word "hype." I saw "was so hype," "get hyped," some guy on Youtube's "Hype meter rating," and now "hypest." :P

Most likely I'll pick it up with my Vita down the line a bit.

The thing is, though, it's totally true. If you watch tournaments, no game is as awesome and OMG and making your heartrate go up like dat Mahvel.
 
So I just ran into some money to give me extra spending this holiday season. UMvC3 looks like it'll be a buy for me along with KoF13.

If that comes to be then I'm rocking Zero, Ironfist, and Deadpool I think. My original team is Zero, Sentinel, Deadpool, and sometimes I used Chris instead of Sent, but Ironfist is a must for me.

I heard Zero got buffs? Anyone got a link to what he got or a quick bullet point run down of what they can recall? I love his combos and his level 3 makes me swoon every damn time. ;D

Changelist is linked in the OP.

Edit:
Pre-Order costumes will be available will be purchasable later.
Vanilla owners get "nothing major" as bonus.

The most important thing is that he can cancel his specials into a level 3 buster shot. Which is bullshit. Fuck you, Zero.
 
Not really. Each character will get an additional costume along the line. Other than that a lot of vague stuff concerning the bonus for orginal MvC3 owners (it's something small) and some things concerning some characters not making it in because they didn't fit balance wise, but no specific names.

Hm my theory fighter isn't opening up the possibilities with this enough I guess, but what's some immediate cheap stuff thought of being possible with this? Like, Mix up over head swing, cancel into level 3 shot, assist tag on ground, repeat ?
 
Niitsuma's answers to some questions:

Asura-difficult and game isn't even out

Mission-Mission mode is the same more or less

Character reveals-Late October early November for RR and Frank

Thor-Apparently Marvel and Capcom liked what they made and they didn't see a need for hammer throw LOLZ

Hsien-Ko-We've given her some shit changes! Enjoy!

WHY DOOM!?-Cop out answer saying that they can't tell if they've buffed him too much lol

Characters you would like to add-I'd love to add another Darkstalker for Capcom side and several MvC2 Marvel characters, but Marvel resisted on their characters.

Stage DLC-Not at this time

Would you put Stan Lee and yourself in the game as characters?-I've been getting that question, but I'd prefer to put in two more characters for fans

Is there a draw screen?-There was one before
SailorDaravon said:
Just tuned in to someone asking if Hsien-ko is going to get any improvements lol
We carpetbombed the stream, man. Her name was in every 5th post lol.
 
enzo_gt said:
Nothing asked about Heroes and Heralds?

Nothing at all, for the most part people were asking questions that they should have known wouldn't get proper answers over and over. Heroes and Heralds was referenced in a question where someone asked about the odds of getting MvC1 style assists (assists of non-playable obscure characters). Niitsuma said H&H was their way of repping those characters and that was it.
 
I like that he answered the question about characters so specifically. He totally would've added a Darkstalker and a couple of MvC2 vets from Marvel's side if given the chance haha.

I wish they'd get the chance to make DLC characters again.
enzo_gt said:

He said like a million things that we already know about the card mode, but it doesn't seem like he wanted to go further.

They are still tweaking how long the cards last, whether they burn out or if they are usable from start and such. They don't want it to get out of control.
Grecco said:
Disapointing.
Expected
 
Oh alright I seem to have missed the start then, didn't hear that.
 
SolarPowered said:

Yea they're probably still working on it.


SolarPowered said:

Yes, and we succeeded! :3
 
SolarPowered said:
We got shit in the end though.

Totally not a day one purchase now lol.

Yea. Cliche cop-out answers on Spider-Man too.
"We nerfed airdashing, but there's other things in the game that make Spidey better!"

Totally ignoring the fact that airdashing is one of Spidey's most central aspects. >-<
 
Giard said:
H&H looks interesting, but where are the more staple modes in fighting games, like tournament mode?
Probably in SFxT.

/salt

Realization: Maybe giving She-Hulk a dash was just an animation test or tease for H&H. I really wonder how they're handling teleport, dash, etc. animations for characters without them.
 
Giard said:

Unnecessary. No one uses Tournament mode in SF4 so they probably used that as a metric to not put it in other games.
 
I'm looking forward to week long clan tournies here on GAF. Team that wins is determined by win/loss record of whole team and if that week long time factor is a built in thing it can't simply go on for 8 months with no one showing for their matches because the game would default the wins to one of the teams and award the cards to them.

Plus I really look forward to spectator mode in heroes vs heralds online with folks. The gif worthy shit some of us will pull shall be legendary. Invisible Dark Phoenix, same character, 3 meters. For troll team.

Maybe no one plays it online...but me and my friends would love the option for local multiplayer, as would lots of others I'm sure.
 
Anyone going to be free the entirety of NOV 15th on gaf? We could do a dry tourney for shits starting around 6 pm or something to give everyone time to pick up there copies. Follow it up with several heroes vs heralds lobbies or something on the day that mode drops. It'd be kind of cool.

It's really not hard to do a little bracket manually.
If you can't do it on your own, get TIO.

UMvC isn't out here on Nov 15. =/
 
I was about to say "not me" since it's almost going to be finals here around that time, but then I remembered I don't have classes Tuesdays or Wednesday which means I can play MAHVEL all day long when it comes out :D

I would too Smash-style, but it's of limited use in ACTUAL tournaments which Capcom caters to most. I usually just end up making my own brackets with a piece of paper for my tournaments, it's not that hard so I'm not complaining. I'd rather something like replay saving become a standard.

Whoops. My bad. Oh well, we'll probably set up nights like this in community or something after launch anyhow. My hype is getting the best of me right now.
