Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

Well, I don't have much experience with him, but his Purification assist is like a slower commando AAA.
I usually abuse the extended hitbox of dark matter. If I do hit them with it, I jump, immediately airdash, Air S, c M. df H. c M. df H. S. Air M. Air. M. Air H. Air S. Purification--> chaotic flame.
It's my bread and butter. Sometimes I use X factor or his level three if I want to ensure a kill. His level three can be used instead of purification. You can X factor out of his chaotic flame's last hitbox and then use dark matter and then another chaotic flame.

Fixed.

Edit: Or is that Liberation? I think it is. My bad, Wretched.

4000 Get.
My new team is Dormamu/X23/Hsien-Ko
Thoughts?

I really don't see any synergy in that team whatsoever. Could you explain more?

It's actually more like Blackheart's.

Dark Matter isn't an extended hitbox, it's a projectile.

THat is a nice combo though. I'm sure wavedashing up to the j.S would work better though. Still a really nice combo.

And yeah, I don't usually like using Level 3s but Dormammu's is quite good.

Fixed.

Edit: Or is that Liberation? I think it is. My bad, Wretched.

Smooth Criminal

No, Purification is Blackheart's move. Liberation is the one that activates hands.

Thoughts on my Wolverine/Deadpool/Pheonix combo?

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Thanks, Gates. I wasn't quite sure about it.

Arthur is sexy as hell. First time I played him he was buckets of fun and seemed really monsterous. Next game you play, go into training mode, put on his shiny armor and and spam crossbow as fast as possible. F'ing unstoppable by 3/4ths of the cast and I doubt many characters can counter it when he has some lolololol X-Factor on top of that too.

This is EXACTLY what nearly did me in.

I managed to take down his assists early in the game since he was using them to help with keep-away (deadpool's anti-air and sentinel force assists) but did so recklessly.

He then used armor and popped X-factor and played the most solid keep-away game I've ever seen on MvC3. He does SO much chip damage...

Had to X-factor as well, then wait out the armor and his X-factor to get inside.

 

[Lythium]

Thoughts on my Wolverine/Deadpool/Pheonix combo?

With Phoenix, you need a way to build meter. Morrigan's Dark Harmonizer assist or Ammy's Bloom assist both work really well.

Both Wolverine and Deadpool can eat up a lot of meter but they don't really need to.

If you have someone or something in there that can build a ton of meter, you should be fine.

Yup. My brother was doing this to me today and the only ways I could get around it are beam supers and Wolverine's badass Berserker Slash while I had Berserker Charge on. I also believe it doesn't home in if you're directly above him.

But its still one of the most ridiculously difficult things to get around in the game at the moment.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

I'd drop Wolverine for a character to build meter like Lythium said.

In my opinion that is.

Fought a Sentinel yesterday that had Doom rocks and Akuma's Tatsu and I could do literally nothing, if I made it midscreen, he'd call an assist, hop up, and fly away. ****ing Mouth lasers were impossible to get by.

I've also recently learned that Mags can approach really well with his magnetic blast thing in the air, despite it having the stupidest input ever, it isn't that bad if you use it for jumpins.

Dat marvel 2 ****. I believe this wouldn't be hard to get around since I played Sent Doom in 2. Get an AAA, it'll **** him. Or dooms missiles. That **** is GDLK.

Anti-Air Assist is the first thing that comes to mind, what does AAA stand for just in case?

 

[xLeafybug =D]

So far, my team is Wolverine/Hsien-Ko/Morrigan. Bad or Good?

 

[Minato]

Hence why Deadpool's teleport "malfunctions" the third time he does it. Deadpool is a ridiculously good keepaway character and if he had unlimited instant teleporting then he'd just be unstoppable :X

Funny thing is, he can combo with it since it's sort of a burst and can hyper cancel out of his malfunction if he wants to lol.
Not like it's foolproof strategy, but I find it interesting.

Thoughts on my Wolverine/Deadpool/Pheonix combo?

Wolvie and Deadpool can go well. Have Wolvie to jumping Light Attack while calling Quick Work for unblockables.
While Deadpool's keep away does help build meter, I think you need something a bit more to help Phoenix. So either take out Phoenix or take out Wolverine, IMO.

With Phoenix, you need a way to build meter. Morrigan's Dark Harmonizer assist or Ammy's Bloom assist both work really well.

I honestly don't think Bloom Assist is all that great. I think it builds less meter and it's more punishable.
Plus Morrigan's just an overall better character, IMO.

 

[Lythium]

I agree, but not everyone digs Morrigan, so y'know...

 

[Gates]

idk if Morrigan is better overall than Amaterasu, but her meter building assist is better and Astral Vision is some fun shenanigans.

Dormammu/Sentinel/Morrigan is my current team and I'm actually thinking about dropping Dormammu. Sentinel and Morrigan are good enough on their own that I can run pretty much whoever on point and be good.

 

[Wretched]

I really don't see any synergy in that team whatsoever. Could you explain more?

Well, every team needs a bread and butter. I use dormamu for that since he is simple and controllable. I use Hsien-Ko because she has enormous reach and stage control. Her swing is the most ridiculous thing ever. I use the purification assist while using her if I need space. X23 is another bread and butter type thing. She has ridiculous comboes and can chip really fast. She is basically a backup if I am under too much pressure by a sentinel or somebody.

Do you rush or zone more? Just wondering.

 

[Serris]

Minato just beat the **** out of me nine games in a row. Thought I had you when I took out Dante with Phoenix. Evidently not.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

So has it been proven that Pheonix is unplayable without 5 meter or what?

With enough skill you won't die fast imo...I'm willing to work near that point.

 

[ETWIST51294]

You're correct.

Just think about this. There was this character in MvC2 that Pheonix takes her basic principles from, he was extremly hard to play and got killed retardedly fast, Pheonix is a worse version of him in a game with stupid damage outputs and she has worse health. There is no imo in this, when you get hit, you die, and it's near impossible to not get hit in Marvel.. Unless your name is Clockwork I don't think it's possible to play her without getting hit against a good player.

She does seem to die a little too fast.

Did you not hear me constantly lament about how Cable isn't in the game?

I zone.

 

[Pitzer]

So best way to deal with a phoenix team. Land hit confirm, do L, M, H, then snap back to get her out. Apply pressure. Mix an over head and a low attack assist. Hit confirm, BnB. GG She died.

 

[Atlus8]

Call me crazy, but I dont believe in the X Factor at all! I refuse to ever use it until **** gets nerfed big time!

 

[Gates]

You're not crazy for that Atlus.

Just stupid.

 

[Wretched]

They're not going to patch infinites and xfactor, are they?

 

[ETWIST51294]

I hope so. X-factor sucks.

 

[M@v]

Right now im going with Zero/Spiderman/Ryu.

I'm learning deadpool and plan to switch him with ryu.

 

[Pengie]

I ended up changing Hsien-Ko for X-23 on my team when I realized that I'm garbage at keepaway and am much more successful when I'm rushing people down; plus X-23's Ankle Slicer sets up some nice unblockables for Mags and Sentinel.

 

[Minato]

Minato just beat the **** out of me nine games in a row. Thought I had you when I took out Dante with Phoenix. Evidently not.

GGs. Make sure to keep Phoenix in 3rd place so she can have enough meter. Once you have 5 meters and she's in, play keepaway and annoy people with projectiles since they home in. And even if you end up dying, you'll have Dark Phoenix.

So best way to deal with a phoenix team. Land hit confirm, do L, M, H, then snap back to get her out. Apply pressure. Mix an over head and a low attack assist. Hit confirm, BnB. GG She died.

I can't do that since wasting a whole meter just to snap her in leaves me at a huge meter disadvantage. My friend will have plenty of meter from Morrigan's assist that by the time she's in she can DHC out or even go Dark Phoenix. Plus it's hard enough to get that hit in after the snap in since her keepaway with Jam Session's pretty good. My team just has issues on keepaway teams.

Edit: Oh, and I got some hatemail on ranked. This guy was really angry. lol

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I'm making good progress on the trophies. The only one I know that is gonna get on my nerves is the one to complete 320 missions...ugh...I have 286 mission done and they're annoying to complete....

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

A lot of the combos are silly cause there's always a better combo for any character.

 

[Ugg]

So, I bought this game recently to put my Xbox 360 to use, and I really am having fun. I'm enjoying researching characters, looking at theory/guides, etc.

I've never played a Marvel vs. Capcom game before, or ANY __ vs. ___ fighter, really. I'm having a hard time adjusting and learning, it seems like a somewhat difficult game, but I'm definitely eager to get good at it. I have high hopes for it!

I'm Xbox 360.

 

[Tokyoinamerica]

X-Factor sucks, and is broken. Sentinel is completely broken. No cable. Online sucks. Game has major balance issues.

But I love it. I'm dedicated to learning the Sentinel match up and Beating all sentinels in the world!

 

[Scamp]

I honestly don't think Bloom Assist is all that great. I think it builds less meter and it's more punishable.

They both build the same amount of meter. I don't think it's any easier to punish Ammy, either. The only real difference is that Ammy takes longer to do her taunt afterwards, so you can't rapid-fire spam the assist as quickly.

Having played them both extensively, I'd have to say that Amaterasu is overall the better character. But Morrigan is really solid, especially because she can do Astral Vision with a level 2 or 3 X-factor and lockdown with medium fireballs. Give it a try!

 

[Gates]

I think Morrigan's assist builds 30% of 1 bar but Amaterasu's build's 25%.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

If anyone teabags you after winning the match it's my fault.

...sorry.

 

[ETWIST51294]

Nah people been doin that since MvC2 got released on XBL and PSN.
