Got the same opponent on ranked match four times in a row. Four losses. This game's matchmaking system needs a serious overhaul.

Just giving us the name and connection strength would be big enough of an improvement.

I love when people call in their assist on my sentinel and I c.M>BnB air combo>Hyper.

Both of them......

Wow, I joined a lobby of 8 people just there and now I'm on a 10 streak.

My Sentinel keeps getting kinda pwned,so I switch him out then Doom and Akuma bring the pain.

Added. Also, as a heads-up, the next patch and DLC release is scheduled approximately two weeks from now.

I'm sticking with my original team now. Hsien-Ko may be bad on point, but I'll make it work.
Plus she's been helping out on making Zero's BnB stronger. Not as strong as Dante, but 700k to 800k still good.

I kinda wanted to replace Sent but he helps Zero out so much.

I think I'm going to try team S.T.A.R.S. next. Jill gets the protection to come in from Chris and the OTG from Wesker. Chris gets the hit confirm from Jill and the OTG from Wesker. Wesker gets the hit confirm and the protection from Jill and Chris respectively. Wesker even gets additional damage if you have Jill attack after his OTG over his 2M which I can't ever seem to land.

I've heard about this working well so I guess I'll give it a shot.

Good games, Savon! Sorry I had to leave so abruptly, but it was time for my meds. Your She-Hulk is a monster.

Same to you bro, although both of us should constructively criticize each other.

I started using Skrull yesterday, so he is the newest addition to my team. Which characters do you think I am best with, because I am still having trouble deciding on a stable team.

Your Phoenix is a beast, but NEVER use her on point. Also sometimes you got a bit predictable with your air exchange combos. Your x-23 is solid, but your Deadpool needs work. He is obviously the newest addition to your team. Just work on combos with him more and you will be golden.

Also, having DP and Skrull as the last characters in a fight results in a LOT of fire and yelling.

You're good at laying down traps with Dormammu, and it makes appproaching him a bit difficult, but when I did get close, I noticed he was fairly easy to beat around. I understand he's more of a ranged punish type of character, but you should look into improving your point-blank combos with him a little more.

For just picking up Super-Skrull, you're pretty good with him. The only fault I really saw is that you tended to use his ranged grab a lot, and that would leave you open to punishment.

She-Hulk is solid all-around. I can't really think of any outstanding criticisms.

Wesker has some pretty ridiculous combos if you take advantage of his OTG magnum shot. You should look into that.

Phoenix and X-23 have been on my team since day one. Deadpool is fairly recent. I've been using him for about two weeks and still haven't bothered trying his or X-23's missions. I should probably get on that. Before Deadpool, I was using Wolverine. After seeing what he can do in ranked matches, I think I might give him another shot if Deadpool doesn't work out.

I try to use Phoenix on point occasionally because she's my best character, and to defy the whole "Phoenix players only keep her on reserve" stereotype that's been getting me a lot of hate mail. Even with her low stamina, I think she's a lot more useful than people realize. For example, if you use air traps against Sentinel to prevent him from approaching, and take advantage of her teleport abilities to neuter his laser spam, she stands a good chance at taking him out. If Sentinel so much as touches her, she's guaranteed dead, but healing field might save her. I'd have to test it out.

On a less constructive note, those games were surprisingly lag-free, given the geographical distance between us. I'm impressed.

I ****ing hate taskmaster.
Yeah he is pretty dumb haha, kinda why I use him. Shield charge goes through all projectiles(except maybe ones that stay out a bit longer) and his combos are piss easy. Do like 700k for the basic one too haha.

3S announcer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all.

"Prepare for the heat of battle, go for it."

GGACs is funny.
I hope you're kidding. Have you even heard the MvC1 announcer? Once you hear the way she says Captain Commando's name you'll wish she was the announcer in this one(and hopefully you'll laugh at it =p)

... I've heard it before... got MvC for the DC when it came out. I don't like the announcer. Except for the way she says "SUPER COMBO FINISH".

donkey kong for dlc!

hm the way she moves... her dash forward is really fast

um her qcb attacks are dashes. medium goes behind opponent and heavy is a short jump

her qcf moves in the air send her diagonally in diff directions. she can down-heavy to go straight down after those moves.

down heavy is a really good overhead but u have to be right on top of them. mad good tho.

thats all u gotta kno really. shes just freakin fast

anyway, i played the game again yesterday and i got pretty freakin good at on-point hsien ko. LOL.

yo. if i battery to hsien ko with a lot of bars, i use hyper armor ON POINT SON. get at her. yah thats right dormamu i dont care if i lose half my life eating ur super, ur getting the pendulum son.

Or you could have just posted it in the SF thread?

Wesker gets the hit confirm and the protection from Jill and Chris respectively. Wesker even gets additional damage if you have Jill attack after his OTG over his 2M which I can't ever seem to land.
I think this team would work better if Chris weren't in it.

The best part about our fights Serris is that neither of us totally dominate the other. We ended having the same amount of wins and losses, so it is great to find somebody who is around the same level as me to play with. I hate playing somebody I add from here and then they totally demolish me.

We also have the same rank. Funny how that works. I still don't know how Advanced Defense is my highest stat when I hardly ever do Advancing Guards...

If you want, I can get on again.

She still loses to runaway badly. It takes forever to catch up to someone which will probably end in them teleporting away lol.

If only they made her faster... :(

You know, I just realized that Capcom can't easily re-balance Dark Phoenix, short of flat-out removing her from the game.

When using level 3 X-Factor, Phoenix gets a 150% bonus to attack power. Among the rest of the cast, this is relatively meager and doesn't offer a particularly significant advantage. When she becomes the Dark Phoenix, she's still technically the same character, so the same bonuses still apply. However, because Dark Phoenix is twice as strong as Phoenix, the 150% strength increase becomes much more powerful than it really is. If they were to lower it, Dark Phoenix would become less of a threat, but Phoenix herself would have a much worse chance at a level 3 comeback when stacked against the rest of the cast. It wouldn't be fair, so they have to leave it as-is.
