Leaked copy, this place down the street from me has a couple setups. ...I saw a sentinel x-factor and kill her in literally 2 hits.
Lucky =( Monday cannot come fast enough for me.

On a random steam, I saw someone call in phoenix assist and she died to a simple magic series. ****s a little ridiculous.

Dante will be the least popular character in the game

She dies to hulk hitconfirm -> hyper. By the way Sethlon, dunno if you know but chip does 30% in this game. So take three moves and you may as well have taken the actual hit. Assists take multiplied damage. Storm's fullscreen can take 25-30%~ off of Ryu if he is called in to assist.

One super bar. It seems to me is will be novelty where you make an entire team around padding her with 5 bars then take her out, x factor her and try to make her last as long as you can before she does DP mode.

Edit: Hmm it seems nearly everyone has a 100% using KFC

I've seen the vid before. Its one thing to **** up and call in a swap at a bad time and eat a beefy super, but she can literally just randomly die if shes called in to assist. A, B, C, E, jA, hB, jC, dead. I didn't even notice that she was on screen until her death scream, lol.

Her air homing fireball looks like its going to get a lot of use, gives her good breathing room since it homes and the speed is really variable.

Assists don't take multiplied damage, btw, they just don't get any scaling. Normally wouldn't make too big a difference, but for super high hitting hypers like Ice Storm or Shinku Hadouken the difference would be obvious.

He actually does look surprisingly good. Good mobility in the air dash + spider swing + web zip, good pressure and combos off of spider swing and web zip, and hes got good health for the rush down style that he is.

You going to be playing with Simple controls again? :bee:

Ah, I misread previously then. Who are you most interested in trying out, Sethlon?

Wesker(Samurai Edge Low)/Trish(Low Voltage)/Dante(Jam Session) is gonna be my team. I've put a lot of theory craft into it, so unless things go terribly wrong somehow that'll be my team for a good while.

Will be interesting to see how they hold up after more testing is done. Dante and Wesker both seem really good right now. Wesker's damage output is something else and that assist you chose hits OTG, doesn't it?

Yeah, it OTGs for an extra burst of damage at the end of bnbs. It does have to be blocked low, too, so if people start turtling against dante/trish I can set up unblockable strings. Originally I was thinking of running X23(ankle slicer) instead of trish for fun unblockable set ups for Wesker, but after really thinking about it it doesn't seem like a good idea. (What if people run from X23 when shes out? No assist to help in zoning wars, and she seems to only really be able to approach from the air. What if dante gets snapped in? Lololtwo low assists, good luck doing anything at all.)

Thats really the best part about the MvC engine, IMO; you can pick any one character, even two, and as long as you're willing to look for a third that helps the team, you can still put a viable team together.

Thats the plan, actually. Coming down to Whobo for one last melee run, and then Marvel is going to be my world.

fighting games=even nerdier.

why are computer games nerdy anyway? Games are games. how much time you put into them is what matters

Im willing to bet anything that WoW players and SC players put in 10x more time than any other game out there.

I haven't played SC2 in 2 weeks and when I do I only play for an hour or two. One SC2 game takes 10-30 minutes average. GG

playing Wii games is nerdier.

Im talking when a person wants to get competitive. Not casual play. And ANY console gaming is seriously less nerdy than PC gaming. Remember the billions of hours people spent on diable 2? SC 1? Its easy to see. I know i played a **** ton of D2 back in the day.

Diablo 2 competitive? PvP was a joke. People sink time into it doing runs for equip, not actually "competing" at it.

where is Dormammu and spencer from?
Spencer = Bionic Commando

Dormammu is the adversary to Sorceror Supreme. He basically goes around ****ing up the cosmos like the total badass he is.

Doing runs for weps/armor/runes or pvp...ect is kinda competitive or serious play. Anything other than that is casual.

I'm not getting into another "discussion" with you but you're ******** if you think doing runs makes you competitive.

No. Marvel has so many cross overs pretty much all their characters are connected in some way. Spencer yes. Except I wouldn't him any more "off the wall" than Clover's characters.

Well it sure as hell aint casual.

I couple competitive and serious play together. Casual is that "i havent play the game in 2 weeks and when i did it was a 10-30min game"


People do runs so they can get the rare **** to trade for more rare **** or to sell. Thats a form of competition. it isnt hard to see

Yeah but that's with anything. You need to put a lot of hours to be competitive at SC2, and most games.

I remember they had Dormammu in the animated Spiderman cartoon. So yeah, crossovers...if I recall though, he's mostly assocaited with Doctor Strange.
