Been ****ing around for the past few days and have been going with Viper/Task/(Akuma/random). I feel like I need someone who can build meter better for Viper. Who do you guys recommend?
Magneto and Wesker are both good at building meter. Frankly your team should be ok as is though. Maybe try starting with Taskmaster and switching out to Viper when you have a few bars.

Only slightly!

They haven't nerfed some worse things though.

Like Tron's assist, that thing is more rigged than Sents arsenal combined.

I also just did all Sents/Weskers missions!

I'm on fire tonight with the old combos.

What specifically are you having trouble with? Or are you just generally new to 2D fighters?

I played SSFIV since like Oct of last year and I got pretty good at that.

I'm basically just trying to figure out everything I need to know about the game atm. I'm having trouble with trying to air combo into my next character.

Also, are the combos in mission mode viable by any means?

Press forward, up, or down, as you press S in an air combo. You can pretty much just hold a direction and press S.

Also, are the combos in mission mode viable by any means?
It depends on the character. Some are, some aren't. Anything that requires the use of 4 or more meters is generally not practical.

I know how to START the air combo, but like, when I'm actually comboing and I wanna go from, say, Akuma to Ryu, how would I go about doing that?

Reading is pretty cool, but it's a pretty advanced technique. I didn't get it down myself until a few months ago. It's really useful once you master it though.

Oh, I read it; It was just mistunderstood as:

S > Jump in the direction you want to go ("Press foward, up, or down[...]) > Combo > ???

I was like 2 seconds from googling "MvC3 reading technique" then I realised what you were talking about,

That was close.

haha mvc2 sent looks so much nicer. his legs came out fast, big poppa was just fast. his tools were gdlk. he seems kinda easy to conquer once you know what you're doing in mvc3. can't deny his strengths though, gotta respect him...

but you can use lots of diff characters and make him respect YOU in 3, and his legs coming out slower just doesnt look as cool!

bring out the manly characters like doom! <3

though i use all girls

ahh ****

Thanks for the feedback guys. It sounds like my Ammy/Cap/Falcon team is a decent setup. I'll practice with them a little more, get used to them.

So now my teams are:

Main: Task/Dead/Dante

Alt1: Ammy/Cap/Falcon

^___^


And for some reason, I can't dragon punch on my arcade stick. :urg: I have a hori stick, so if anyone knows easy mods or tricks that would help me, I'd appreciate (by easy, I mean not soddering(?). I don't know the first thing about that).

I used to hate him. Then, I learned that almost all Sentinel players use the same combos over and over, so blocking becomes extremely easy and you can punish them with no effort. That, and two-thirds of my team has ways around whatever Sentinel can throw out.

I want you to know that my buddy kicked my *** yesterday with a Wolverine/Akuma/Phoenix team.

I even tried a snap back early on, but he wiped the floor with me after he KO'd my Taskmaster and was at a 5 bar before his first guy fell. :<

Dante ALMOST had her though. :urg:

Then I used two Falcon Punches Bionic Arms on his counters by accident (different game). I thought the second punch was timed to hit after his counter expired... I was wrong. T___T

Trust me, if you're playing a competent Phoenix player, snapping her in isn't as foolproof as one would think. If she gets one hit in, half your health is gone. Not to mention Dark Phoenix with X-Factor can throw out Phoenix Rage on reflex and slam every non-projectile hyper coming at her.

Dark Phoenix loses to Wesker. lol. Also, When you snapped her in if you're task just SJ Aim master M, Predict a Teleport input Grab if she is near you. Jump You can't run away... You're in for a world of hurt MH, and she's dead like the first 7 hits of the super.

Also remember Spencer should be the anchor. Don't use X factor. Till Spencer is out. Land a Hit confirm, then L, M, H, -> H cancel(Timing is strict) Armor Piercer, Wait for a bit. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRM, Adrenaline, BIONIC ARRRRRRRRRRRM GG everyone in the game.


Also I did that Haggar Spencer glitch yesterday on my friends Joe. Was so funny. Taunted. then waited for him to pop up. Free Bionic Arm, also I did this ******** deadpool combo, in a corner. L, Cr. M, Bang Bang Bang, X factor, Taunt, Bang Bang Bang. Poor Hsien Ko

Can't say he knew what he was doing or not. Definitely utilized the term, 'Loose Glass Cannon'.

And of course he was using x-factor. Balls, did that hurt.

Lord Odin, you need to tell me when you're gonna play mvc3, we need to get some matches down. I got a tourney on the 9th. I need more Taskmaster practice.

Fixed, and I do like the sound of 'Lord'. ;)

Yeah, I'll try to get on MvC a little more. Maybe tomorrow after work, or tuesday/wednesday before work.

I somehow managed to reflex a Dark Phoenix Rage just as Dormammu's Chaotic Flame appeared and it won me a match. I'm still in awe.
