There is no point of defense in this game. Is rushdown the only viable option in this game?
Rushdown works better against most of the cast. I could show you defense and keepaway like I used to do way earlier though... lol

And I'm about four or five games away from getting demoted to 5th Judge. I hate Dante with every fiber of my being.

Oh, and I might be going to a tournament in Boston on May 1st.

My defense is GREAT in every other fighting game I have played. I was a defense monster in Tekken and Soul Cal as well as smash. I dunno why I suck at it so much in this game

Not to sound snarky or anything, but maybe you should level up your defense skills in this game then?

I mean, what is the point of those fancy combos, if you're just getting blown up online because your defense sucks? Or you know, it could be online. ;)

edit: Also, defense in 3D fighting games is very different than 2D. It may take you longer to adapt.

Funny. It's a semi-permanent loan from a friend who hardly ever uses his PS3, so I'm not going to take my frustration out on it on the off chance he wants it back.

I'm going on Player Match and probably staying there now.

You don't do option selects.

The game does them for you. :3c

I agree with this. I used to do training mode and focus just on blocking and hitconfirming on the CPU so I could get better at it. Then whenever I'm in an actual match, I try to be prepared to know where to defend and understand what mixups they like doing.

I actually do up back a ton on certain characters lol. Why bother preparing for high/low/left/right mixups when I can make it 50/50 or a grab.
As for OSs, I can't think of any for MvC3 off the top of my head.
And I'm about four or five games away from getting demoted to 5th Judge.
What stat made you go to Judge anyway? I thought you were Lord before.

ok good haha

my friend was tryna teach them to me for ssfiv but

i dont have the game so i couldnt really practice em lol

whenever i play marvel ive just been running off video knowledge

im just scared of air grabs cuz im not really sure how they work. and when i watched jimmyp vs nerdjosh, air grabs basically won all the games for nerdjosh, he was getting em all the time and i was like wtf why. i couldnt tell what was forcing jimmyp to jump and what option he chose to get the grab every time, i was thinking is he predicting it or is that an option select?

I was. I went on a particularly long losing streak and did enough Advancing Guards to pump my Advanced Defense stat up to 5. Stability went down to 2-3.

No. The ranks are still the same, they just change in name depending on what the highest stat of your play style is.

Lord = Stability
Scout = Basic Offense
Guard = Basic Defense
Judge = Advanced Defense
Ranger = Advanced Offense

Also, everyone from 4th up likes to spam assists all day e'rry day. Really ****ing annoying.

Oh ok, I got my 5th lord!

The person I faced for it was none other than one of my online friends.

What are the odds?!

Well, I'm surprised that I didn't die right away when I was using Phoenix on point. Good games, Matador. I need to adapt my team to be able to handle small characters.

GGs to those I've played today. Really great matches.

I need to scrap this team.

Edit @ Serris: Yeah, you're still the best Phoenix I've played...I don't think I ever won whenever you reached Dark Phoenix.

I don't think my team can legitimately win against her. Too much chip, too many mix-ups...and I can't zone that well with my characters.

Are the people at that rank just plain good? Or do they just play cheaply or something

Not trying to offend you guys or anyone, but once you get past thinking of what's considered cheap or spamming, you'll improve.
If you think something is cheap, you'll blame your losses because of that and you won't think of how to not get caught in it or get around it.
If you think people are assist spamming, punish them so they're afraid to call an assist. Just use Hyper Sentinel Force, Serris, and the assist will lose more than half of their life.
That's because you send hatemail.
I lol'ed.
