Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

[Serris]

I just got back from pre-ordering Ultimate at GameStop. Also bought myself another DualShock 3. Get hype.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Gonna be using dat X-Men Evolution costume?

 

[_Dice]

A lot of the new supers look really unimpressive. Like Vanilla has all these really awesome looking supers, huge beam supers, all kinds of flashy ****.

UMvC3 has like. I dude who breaths fire and Wario's Bike. Hawkeye shoots one arrow really hard, WHOOOOOOOOOOOO. He doesnt even yell out BRIONAAAAAAAAAAAC ARRRRRRRRRRRM when he does it. Not impressed.

Look into my eyes....

 

[Serris]

Gonna be using dat X-Men Evolution costume?

Yessir. I used to watch it regularly back in the day. Seems fitting.

 

[Savon]

Cyclops vs the Juggernaut on the dam in the show was the most hype moment ever

 

[Serris]

Yeah, that was awesome. Rogue was my favorite character. When she grabbed Juggernaut's fist and threw him over the side of the dam, I was like AWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAH. I loved Jean's fight with Xavier in the finale, too.

Oh, Savon, you need to get online soon so we can fight.

EDIT: Matador makes Viewtiful Joe look like a god tier character. Holy ****.

Transitioning from Brawl to MvC3 (Help)

I'm trying to be adequate at MvC3 but I don't even know where to begin. My friend said I had to start by learning to chain combos, but the input is a lot more demanding than brawl. I've been to many tournaments in Brawl and have learned advanced techniques, but it doesn't seem to translate when I play Marvel. Any suggestions, tips? (also, I play on xbox, on controller, not stick)

-Sorry Serris, thanks for the correction.-

 

[Matador]

You wouldn't believe me if I told u how much I was raging right now, Serris.

So much salt.

 

[Serris]

How do you think I felt when I was losing 1-5? Level 1 X-Factor Dark Phoenix saves the day again!

No problem. Just be sure to post topics related to Marvel and other games in the appropriate thread.

As for the transition, I know where you're coming from. I started with competitive Super Smash Bros. and eventually wound up playing Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes. The execution is a lot more demanding than the occasional button press. I recommend starting by reading Shoryuken's Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds Hyper Guide and experimenting with Mission Mode to get a handle on things first.

You'll definitely want to drop the controller for a fight pad or a third-party controller with a better d-pad. It's a lot better for fighting games. Analog stick input is messy and can lead to a lot of dropped combos.

 

[Matador]

So many dropped combos.

Wolverine was the only reason I won any at all, which makes me sick. He's so easy.

 

[Serris]

You and me both. The side of my DualShock is split open, so my d-pad is a bit unresponsive sometimes. I kept doing her overhead fire kick when I meant to do TK Overdrive M, and it cost me one of the games. You have no idea how hard I was raging.

And that's not true. Your Spider-Man could have easily finished off my team... if he was ever the last one left...

 

[Minato]

You guys are welcome to come play me in MvC2 sometime... lol

 

[Matador]

If the connection's good, I'm down.

Serris and I had a good connection, except every 5 seconds, it'd pause for like...a quarter of a second.

Not much...but just enough for me to drop a combo or input the wrong hyper...

9,000 HOURS IN MICROSOFT PAINT

But yeah, that screwed me over too.

 

[Pink Reaper]

Hey serris, maybe you as a Pheonix player can help me out with something.

A while back my friend and I decided we absolutely had to play pheonix(that is the good phoenix, not on point phoenix ) and every now and then we'd be in a position where we'd need to counter each others supers with Phoenix rage. Only literally every time it was a buffered super(like during an opponents super) it would always come out as healing field. We could combo into it just fine but attempting a counter super literally always came out as Healing Field. Ideas?

 

[Serris]

Stop QCBing and start QCFing.

In all seriousness, you shouldn't be throwing out Healing Field unless you were crouching and then immediately went to block, THEN tried to throw out the super. The same thing happens to me whenever I try to DHC into Deadpool's Trigger Happy. Take your finger/hand off the d-pad/stick and then do the motion.

 

[Pitzer]

Drill Claw Unacceptable!

But that's the thing, it even happens when im on the offensive. Like, I throw out an attack, he goes into Weskers Rhino Charge to try and counter me, I immediately cancel what im doing by imputing QCF atk+atk, and i DO super cancel, but it comes out as healing field.

It happens to me only on some DHCs, but yeah, I've gotten random reversed inputs where they definitely shouldn't have.
There's no logical explanation for it either from what I can tell. It's happened to my friend as well and we don't have sloppy execution.

We've been able to recreate it sometimes too.

 

[Savon]

I wanna see a video of the move Swiss Cheese. It sounds so stupid that I could just laugh at it all day

It sounds like a different voice actor...

 

[Savon]

I lol'd hard as hell. It is so corny. People gonna hate playing AS wolverine instead of playing AGAINST him

They could have at least let him yell out some guttural, noncommittal noise instead of saying that stupid line. As-is, it's hilariously dumb.

This is odd. I've never had this happen to me. Try QCBing, I guess?

Sentinel has slightly less health. Very slight, probably dropped him down from 910,000 to 900,000.

**** this game.

 

[Thino]

>Everyone has mashable attacks in UMvC3, meaning that you can mash the buttons to do more damage.

what...

 

[Gates]

In MvC2 there were some supers and normal attacks that you could mash after inputting the commands for more hits or different properties on the attack. Cable's Hyper Viper Beam is an example - you could perform the super and mash punch buttons while it was going to make the beam arc up or down. These kinds of attacks were mostly absent from MvC3.

I see , I'm not familiar with MvC2 so I didnt know they existed

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

YES! Spiderman buffs!

Special moves can be cancelled? Good.

Web ball is faster? Good.

Crawler Assault does more damage? Good.

How 'bout some more health or a new move?

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Ugggggggggh

>Turn on Evo stream
>Wolv/Akuma/Sent Vs. Mags/Wolv/Akuma

I cannot wait for UMvC3 to come out...

 

[Minato]

Some of these balance changes are awful (Phoenix and Sent with less health). lol
I'm really surprised they buffed Dante's mobility in Devil Trigger also.

Still holding out for better Hsien-Ko buffs in the future.

 

[Serris]

I'M STILL RAGING OVER THIS! Phoenix already has the lowest health in the roster and dies in one combo from everyone. What are they trying to do, make it so Deadpool's taunt can kill her on hit confirm?

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

If she already dies in one combo, what's the big deal?

Really don't know why sent's health was dropped (Either 900k-850k) If anything, he really needed a boost.

 

[Gates]

Ugggggggggh

>Turn on Evo stream
>Wolv/Akuma/Sent Vs. Mags/Wolv/Akuma

I know right? I mean who plays Sentinel anymore?

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

I still play Sentinel, I don't really matter, but I do play him.

Mostly for DHC glitch shenanigans, so he'll of course be getting dropped by UMvC3.

ALSO. With the nerfs to Akuma (really, only his assist needed to be fixed), I know he won't be around, and with his best bud being crippled, I wouldn't be surprised if Wolverine usage dropped as well (he got nerfs too, but he sorta needed them...)

 

[Lythium]

Play Sentinel for assists!

Aw yisss.

 

[Gates]

Sentinel's assist isn't that good. It takes almost a full second for the drones to come out and he can be hit out of it at any time and they won't come out, which isn't hard considering he's as tall as the screen and half as wide.

Any time you want to use Sentinel for his assist, use Akuma's Tatsu, Doom's Hidden Missiles, or someone with a beam assist instead.

Any time you want to use Sentinel for the DHC trick, use Dante, Wolverine, Amaterasu, Taskmaster, Wesker, or Zero instead.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Drones are faster now, by the way.

So basically you're saying I should just pick better characters, right? The best of the best?

 

[Lythium]

But what if I have a thing for sadistic robots? ;-;

 

[Gates]

Yeah, that's probably the only buff Sentinel got.

But seriously, it all depends on what your team wants to do. If there's something that another character can do better, either with their assist, their DHCs, or on point, then you should seriously look into playing that character instead. It's the same logic behind why everyone picks Akuma over Ryu in this game.

But what if I have a thing for sadistic robots? ;-;

Then watch 2001: A Space Odyssey.

 

[MysteryRevengerson]

Oh ****. Serris?

Deathwish just showed off some super basic on point phoenix stuff that worked amazingly.
