Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

[Wretched]

Haha, my brother was doing that last night. He ran Sentinel/?/Iron Man.
Projectiles are good in this game.

 

[Serris]

So, how does everyone's playstyle check out? Here's mine:

Stability: 5
Basic Offense: 4
Basic Defense: 2
Advanced Defense: 1
Advanced Offense: 2

 

[Matador]

So far my team is looking like Captain America/Taskmaster/Dormammu, Dormammu really being there so I can have someone with nice chip. I have a hard time adjusting to his playstyle since I usually play rushdown.

I just got beaten by some guy that spammed Unibeam over and over though >>; What do you guys do to counter crap like that?

Haven't fought a projectile spammer that's also good up-close yet...so I really don't know.

I usually just eventually get close and they suck hard enough to make up for the dmg they did to me.

 

[Serris]

I just went on a nine-game winning streak and pulled my most impressive win ever.

Went up against someone with a team of Dante/Zero/Hulk. Mine was Phoenix/Deadpool/X-23. I was distracted by a phone call, so I forgot to hold down L1 to start as Deadpool instead of Phoenix. Phoenix got KO'd by Dante, followed by Deadpool, all within about twenty seconds. X-23 switches in and I pull a one-character victory from a heavy early deficit. X-Factor is my hero.

 

[Big-Cat]

I didn't know you can switch out before the match starts. I find a lot of people using projectile characters so I was making Trish on point, but it looks I can start with She-Hulk still and switch if I need to.

Yeah. L1 to start with your second pick, R1 to start with your third. I'm surprised more people didn't know about this.

 

[GreenAce]

Came back to look at this thread for the first time in a week lol. Brawlers playing 2d's lol

 

[Lythium]

>implying that i still play smash what is this?

I do believe you have to hold the button before the match loads to swap characters though. Is that correct?

 

[Matador]

You hold whatever button you would normally use to call them in as an assist. Make sure you start holding on that screen after character/stage select.

If you're playing on the same console and you select "rematch" after the match ends, then hold the button of the character you want immediately after selecting rematch.

@Serris: lvl 3 X-Factor too goodz, lol.

 

[Lythium]

Cool, thanks.

I can't imagine that I would use that feature often, but it's good to know.

 

[Pitzer]

SO if you're fighting againist a phoenix team have either Storm, or X-23 on your team. when you get 4 bars. Snap back with x-23, X -factor then Do her level 3 It'll instantly kill phoenix. As for storm chip her out.

 

[Lythium]

I bet everyone's level 3 super kills Phoenix.

Except Zero's.

First Sentinel, now Chunners? Maybe we really do need a patch.

 

[Pitzer]

Except Zero's.

Yeah but you actually want to make sure she can't do anything about it. Since X-23's is unblockable abuse that factor. they can't do anything if they come in after a snap back or after there team mate dies.

 

[Minato]

finally found a team i like in dante/zero/storm i use crystal assist for dante, hadenki fireball assist for zero and whirlwind for storm.
they can fill up the screen with so much **** no matter whos on point, plus they can dhc really well and their team hyper is excellent.
its a good mix of rushdown and camping if need be.

I don't think they really compliment each other a whole lot, but if you think they go well together, go for it.
I highly suggest switching Dante's assist to Jam Session though.

I played against other people for the first time today, and it confirmed that I suck at this game just as much as I thought I did. I've been going through mission mode, just trying out different characters for the last week or so. I guess it's time to settle down and actually learn how to play the game now.

Just keep playing people and you'll learn how to play. I feel that it's very crucial to play people in order to get better at VS games.

Playing some Mahvel with Lucky! We don't use X-Factor!

-Atlus

Sounds like you guys don't want to win!

You can **** though ranked with Haggars pipe. I think you're over estimating the skill of the scrubs in ranked.

Very true. Online's pretty bad in terms of average skill. I'd say more than half don't even pushblock.

 

[Scamp]

Yeah but you actually want to make sure she can't do anything about it. Since X-23's is unblockable abuse that factor. they can't do anything if they come in after a snap back or after there team mate dies.

While this is a pretty strong tactic Phoenix does have several options when she's flying in. I haven't been able to make it so X-23's level 3 is guaranteed to hit. Phoenix can come in with an attack, activate flight, teleport, or bust out a super, all depending on what it looks like X-23 is going to do or how far away she is.

Again, this is certainly not a good situation for Phoenix at all, but I don't think saying "they can't do anything" is accurate.

But is it possible to hit with X-23's unblockable the instant she comes in? I haven't been able to get it to work, but if it is possible then I'm totally wrong.

 

[Rutger]

I bet everyone's level 3 super kills Phoenix.

Except Zero's.

You need x-factor for Zero. :/

 

[Lythium]

PTZR, you're also forgetting the important part about playing Phoenix: you want her to die. So, it doesn't really matter.

 

[Pitzer]

You want her to die with 5 bars. So far My strat is working very well. Dark Harmonizer, and Down aerial team combo's ftw.


Yes you can hit someone with x-23's unblockable as soon as they come in.

 

[Lythium]

By the time your team has four bars, chances are that a Phoenix team will have five.

Just saying.

 

[Pitzer]

Depends if they have a good Bar building team so far they usually have 3 by the time I have 4.

 

[Rutger]

Try to time out Phoenix.

Probably won't be a viable strategy all the time. But I don't know, sounds fun. :3

 

[Pitzer]

With all that chip she can do. Maybe if it's a 3 on 1 or 3 on 2 when she doesn't have a sentinel maybe xD

 

[Rutger]

I meant before she goes Dark Phoenix.

But yeah, I don't know how well that would work, I've only fought a Phoenix once.

 

[Wretched]

You shouldn't say that you want her to die. You should get everything out of her before she dies.
Its like playing a high damage stock against a crouch canceling Peach who you just killed >:[

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Use snap back with Dante, then use Hulk's anti-air to cut Pheonix off and superjump at the same time to use Dante's combo. Bye bye Jean!

 

[Lythium]

You're missing the point. I agree with you, and it's not as if Phoenix goes down without a fight.

But the entire point of playing Phoenix is to get her in Dark mode.

edit: Freaking ninja'd.

Lucario in Brawl is a better comparison.

 

[Ugg]

So, I have a team of Arthur/M.O.D.O.K/Haggar, Arthur on point. Haggar using Lariat assist obviously, but I'm a bit confused as to what assists to use for the other two. I was thinking Fire Bottle Toss for Arthur. I'm not sure about M's Barrier assist or if it lasts long enough to help Haggar out. Thoughts?

 

[ETWIST51294]

Use the TORCH with Arthur. And Modoks assists are ***. I just use psionic blaster.

I've known it's a torch, haha, I just call it after the direct name from the game, sorry!

Yeah, they are, lol. I contemplated barrier as it seemed kinda cool, but it looks to last for a too short of time.

Actually, I forgot about M's Balloon Bomb. I might use that...

 

[ETWIST51294]

I don't know why they call it a fire bottle when it's obviously a torch. The barrier is cool but it's not plausible for real play. The bomb comes out too slow and the psionic blaster isn't TOO bad. I would recommend playing MODOK on point and then use all of your meter on Arthur.

Those fools!

That's true, actually. I'll do that as well. Thanks!

I was talking to a friend earlier at work and he told me Charging Star has the second highest priority in the game. I'll check that out to attempt to beat projectiles.

 

[Brightside6382]

Im surprised more people aren't going nuts over Dormmamu. Guy can chip, his supers a janky AHVB, he gots a pseudo rush-down/mixup game with his tele's and quick tri-jump, both supers good for DHC'***, and decent assists. Sent aint got nothing on him.

 

[ETWIST51294]

He does cuz he can just spit on him before anything comes out.

 

[Brightside6382]

teleport 10sents

 

[ETWIST51294]

Ahhh yeah his teleports tight if you don't get POWER OF THE instead.

 

[Gates]

The shortcuts aren't even that bad wtf are you talking about etwist.

 

[Pitzer]

Power of the Power of the Power of the Creator. His level 3 OTG's You have enough time to S in air X factor and do it.
