UMVC3: Phoenix Wright and Nova Revealed!

There was no hype unless you knew Japanese. Nitsuma just came up on stream, trolled a bit, spoke a bit and just left. I don't think there was anything new on there.

I'm convinced that Wright is going to be the fucking craziest shit ever now. Gotdayum at his Level 3 damage. The guy went all Matlock in this bitch.

Yea when max talked about the damage and showed stuff he could do WITHOUT X-FACTOR i was like FUCKKKKKKKKK
 
I have a feeling IF and Doom will be BFFs (hell, who's NOT BFFs with doom?). Hidden missiles for lockdown and controlling airspace will be hnnnnng.

Task/IF/Doom for day one team!

Vergil's lvl 3 does the exact same damage, and the mashable lvl 3s all seem to do a ton of damage when mashed, I suspect probably not that much less than Wright's lvl 3.

Turnabout mode is madness. In extremely simplified design it's a bit Phoenix-like.
Not really. I mean yeah it's a gimmick like Phoenix but it's a different gimmick and no where near as powerful.

Phoenix: Play game normally, don't use any meter and you are pretty much guaranteed to get 5 bars from getting your characters killed. If Phoenix gets snapped in just buy time with salty balls and tag out (although this part is getting nerfed hard). DP is on Phoenix until she dies and her health drain is negated by XF.

Wright: Get 3 good evidence and then land a hit on the opponent. The first part isn't even the hard part... it's the second one. Wright has low mobility and no mix ups meaning this is the real challenge to get Turnabout stance. Say you get lucky and land a hit, well now the opponent can run away until you stance timer runs out. And when it runs out it's back to the drawing board of collecting evidence and landing a hit.

On a Phoenix team you don't really need characters who support Phoenix well, just 2 characters who go really well together and can be effective without meter. On a Wright team, you need 2 character who can support Wright with the proper assists so he can get started or he's pretty much free to rushdown.

That's what I think on the matter. It's not as easy as getting 3 evidences and you are good to go. Already I see people getting 3 evidence and then standing there wondering how they are going to land a hit. Then they start jump forward and doing Objection all obvious like. I saw someone tag out Wright when he had the 3 evidences and then activate Turnabout via TAC... which IMO is an even worse strategy because you are relying on a TAC to activate the gimmick (which can be countered and in UMVC3 it can be punished).

I think it's because it fits the character. If they had given someone like Wesker a random core mechanic there would have been a lot more whining.

Dude, game's not even out, people are just coming up with strategies on their feet. I mean, you could tag him out, then just DHC in to the Maya super and slam objection then.

I don't think they would mind since that's one of the things that stops him from being straight up broken.

Plus it makes sense given the character.
 
oh yah!

Hoping for some Hyper rocket viper beams.

Yeah, that's probably going to be the easiest way to do it.

That and good evidence seems to appear so often that it doesn't really matter much.

True. Still, if I was in a tourney I don't know if I'd leave any of my moves being "successful" up to chance, especially considering how good those players can be at rushdown and one hit leading to huge combos in this game. It'll be interesting to see how much he's used.
 
Can you tag out during the Maya hyper?

It's fast, the resulting abilities are pretty consistent with each other, and it fits his character. It's not that different from just having a move that needs stocks like MODOK.
 
I think turnabout's much more like Hakan's oil than Phoenix mode. The character's terrible until the modes active and even then despite getting some perks that are really nice on paper (damage output and much better hitboxes in Pheonix) they don't compensate for the characters weaknesses in the game (His ass mobility and lack of mix-ups).
 
As I said before I think tagging out is the best option ATM, so you don't have a gimmick to rely on first and foremost, and you have your tagged in character there to build meter for you. Then, once Phoenix is in and your first character is dead, he still has an assist to get in and help him with such to try and land a hit. The TAC is still an option, and I think a vert good one as long as it's used in moderation... Just like how you should use TACs anyways, especially to keep unpredictable.

I don't mind people coming up with strategies, in fact I have a PW strategy of my own too. But I have mostly seen gimmicks and that "DHC into Maya" then use Objection... that's gimmicky to me too.

Tag out means that you are risking getting hit to activate the Turnabout (tags don't hit overhead anymore according to Seth). 2 meters used to DHC activate Objection = less meter for LVL3. What if your other character gets killed in the process? Wright has to eat a mix up when he comes in which in the air he has little ways of escape.

At this point, I find it my more efficient to just sit with the Evidence and not do anything stupid like trying to jump in with H's or do raw tag outs. Abuse the power of the projectiles and play super lame with Wright while using an assist like Hidden Missiles or Daggers of Denak. You can probably frustrate the opponent into a hit especially with the "Multilock" evidence of Wright (which is also a gamble if you get it or not but if you get it, it's a great insurance against teleporters).

If you play Wright you are doing it at your own risk. You accept the consequences and the work that comes with playing the character.

I am not a fan of this random aspect of Wright at all. Neither am I fan of Hsien Ko's random item toss either. For Wright it's more important and it's not as simple as just good/bad evidence. You get different types of projectiles like the multilock projectile or the 3 knife projectiles which are excellent but some of his others one aren't like that straight fireball one. It's going to hold him back in high pressure situations. People aren't complaining about it because Wright isn't likely to be a major threat at tournaments ie he isn't a top tier contender at the moment.

Who said anything about random tags? And it's not like that would be the only setup, but you can't deny that it has its uses.

Hsien Ko's is bad. Wright's isn't that big of a deal though. He gets plenty of opportunity to set it up.

Pretty much the email said TODAY. And then at the end said GO TO HERE FOR THE ASSETS..

I went to HERE, logged in with my details and NOTHING
 
I was wondering about why you want to DHC into Maya's Hyper. I'd think the gameplan for Wright is to get the evidence, switch to courtroom mode, but not take stupid risks in getting the Objection.

Rather use the evidence to make the opponent come to you. THEN fish for the Turnabout. If Wright gets badly hurt, get him out of there without triggering the Turnabout, save him for later. If the Turnabout is triggered, give the opponent the finger, or keep spamming projectiles as they're now vastly better. Try keeping it running until the last third and have three meters ready by then. Try to get a hit confirm off a finger or a projectile to land the Level 3. If not get Wright out of there while in Turnabout mode.

Now as long as you have four meters, you've got Wright's Hyper in DHC reserve. And some characters are much better at opening up for a DHC. Basically, this turns any stray combo into Hyper into a very serious threat.

Well, this is what I'll be trying for with Wright, at least. If he can take on everyone, good! But I'll plan for him to have to retreat.
 
HYPE TRAIN IS ROLLING!!!!!!

So 100 pages since NYCC. Not too shabby.

Also post above me is how I imagined Wright's game plan to be like.
