And I've come back from the dead with a giant wall! Vergil Vergil look like a lot of fun, and you do a great job of adapting his moveset from UMVC3 while managing to keep things fresh. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of the orb mechanic, mostly because it's near impossible to balance. As it...

Tropius As FA said, this set is really fun to imagine. The interactions are all rather intuitive, and are all relatively in character (being able to sprout trees like that is a little suspect, but the cool factor of the idea lets it slide in my book). Making the extreme charge time on Solar...

Angel This set is pretty cool. With the simple attacks that gain their complexity from the many options you get out of them at the core, you already have a solid base to work off of. The swords and item interactions also add to the myriad of options and choices on how to connect your attacks and...

Gardevoir The reflective screens here are a really cool idea. You have plenty of ways to manipulate them and interact with them, and so does the opponent. The fact that each screen can hold energy, but only so much without breaking, means you have to manage their positions carefully, leading to...

Agiri This set is very odd in that it both goes along with as well as opposes many of the things you would find in a typical Katapultar set. This is because the set comes in two layers. The first layer is the primary effect that each attack has and is quite normal, while the second layer is the...

*Opens book, begins reading* Heroes of the Trine Once upon a time, in a far away kingdom, three heroes were chosen by fate to defeat evil and restore order to the land. These heroes were brought together by the power of an ancient artifact called the Trine. The Trine has the power to store...

The Necromancer Is it weird that the very first thing that comes to mind when I think of the overall strategy of this set is some sort of unholy combination of N. Tropy and Elspeth? You have mass summons combined with projectile hell supported by freezing time. As you said in the set, it really...

The Fantasy Moveset Design Contest Super Smash Brothers is a really cool game, but if there's one thing that tends to get on everyone's nerves, it's the character roster. Why isn't King K. Rool in the game? Capcom should have pushed for Mega Man in Brawl! Bowser Jr. needs a spot...

So, since I've been gone for a while, I've decided to make up for it by doing a top 10 instead of normal advertisements. It's not a generic "Top 10 Best Movesets" though. Instead, we have.... LEGENDOFLINK'S MYM XI TOP 10: BEST MECHANICS First off, my personal definition of a...

Oh dear lord, he's not dead! Hey guys. So, this holiday I learned that when life happens life happens HARD, so I ended up taking a week+ break from MYM while things sorted themselves out. I'm back though, so massively belated steady catchup comment time! Elesh Norn So, first impressions...

Not made in one day, but who cares? Cubone Cubone is the Lonely Pokemon, and is probably one of the most puzzling and depressing pokemon to think about. It is said to wear the skull of its dead mother, and whenever it misses her, it cries in such a way that the skull rattles. It also...

Ah, so it's not quite as terrifying as I thought. I've never had the time to take more than a passing look at how any of this stuff is done, and most of what I find starts me at using a hex editor, so I just stopped there. I do have an on and off project in the works that takes a lot of...

Man, I really admire modders like you guys, as I would never have the patience to debug something like that. I'm far too spoiled by my IDEs and breakpoints telling me what I did wrong in my code. I can hardly even wrap my head around coding in raw hex instead of a more readable programming...

Peach doesn't have to run halfway across the stage to pick up her vegetables, but yeah, item usage is probably something that you don't want too many characters to have as their schtick.

What a lot of people detracting from things like better recoveries and "gimmicks" seem to be forgetting is that this game is in development, and there is no reason that they shouldn't be allowed to try things. If it doesn't work, they can just change it back. Sure, you can argue that the change...
