Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

[mood4food77]

first off, this game is probably the easiest fighter outside of smash to play

for a character to play, viper isn't a good choice, she's broken as **** but she's one of the hardest characters in the game to play

it's probably best to start off with wesker with a beam assist and some other assist of your choice, i only say wesker because he's so simple, using him will teach you the basics of the game and how to use assists properly (this is super duper important, so you don't get happy birthday'd a lot)

start simple

 

[choknater]

i wouldn't discourage a new player from using a character just because the peak of playing that character is difficult. you can still use viper if you want to, even if you are not at marlinpie's level yet. even with complicated characters, you can choose to start simply.

i started with my favorite characters from the get-go and to this day i can still contend with america's conceived "top tiers"

honestly mindsets like that are the reason americans lost to ageojoe.

 

[Jigglymaster]

Hulk is also an easy way to start playing this game, but he might give you some bad habits

wahhhhhhhhhskarrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Ragnar0k]

What do people think of a Cap, Iron Man, Spencer team. Shield slash, unibeam, and slanted grapple as my assists. And could someone explain how fly loops work and hitstun degrading.

 

[choknater]

Ragnar0k, i'm not sure how that team would deal with hard zoning like morrigan or joe

 

[Ragnar0k]

cap's shield > all

The last sentence is a bit of a stretch but I agree with everything above it. If you're new, try out the characters and pick who you like. Just going straight to wesker might make you think the game is boring and not fun (unless of course you actually like wesker).

 

[S l o X]

Doom seems pretty easy to me. His air combos are easy and his otg is his M/H. >_> He also has what seems to be a really good projectile.

Deadpool is really annoying to fight. I'll just keep messing with characters.

 

[TL?]

Viper with doom's plasma beam assist is actually really good.

 

[sanchaz]

cap's shield > all

why. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just play wesker like everyone else.

 

[mood4food77]

it's better to use a simple character and compete than to use a broken *** character that requires time and knowledge to use and get blown up

 

[Berserker.]

If you want simple characters, use Cap'n America, Wesker or Ryu (I guess >_>)

You can always use your favorite characters. A character's ease of use or well... Godlike-ness, doesn't really matter since this is Marvel we're taking about. Anything can happen since weaknesses of a character are usually covered by his or her partners.

 

[mood4food77]

wesker, cap, and wolverine are probably the easiest characters to use in the game

a team of wolverine/wesker/sentinel is real simple and actually a very viable team, sentinel is pretty easy to do, just good luck opening up an opponent with a brain

 

[Ragnar0k]

Who would be good on a team with Cap and Spencer?

 

[mood4food77]

any beam assist

literally, you put in plasma beam or something similar and you're team is bull****

 

[Pikaville]

I wouldn't say Doom is really easy to use.

Unless you are in the corner hahahaha.

 

[mood4food77]

plasma orb, FOOT DIVE FOOT DIVE, st. H, repeat x3, lvl 3

 

[sanchaz]

plasma orb, FOOT DIVE FOOT DIVE, st. H, repeat x3, lvl 3

the real questopn is who is more braindead, wesker or doom?

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

How do u guys feel about a hagar, ammy, aruther team?

Keep in mind i suck and do mostly the most basic or 1 lvl up fom the most basic combo

 

[mood4food77]

doom is more brain dead, get lucky foot dive hit, OTG, prosper

at least wesker you have to know how to open up people

haggar/ammy/arthur isn't a bad, arthur and haggar have great synergy

 

[Pink Reaper]

Yo, if you're getting hit by random Foot Dives, you're just awful.

 

[Ragnar0k]

What do you guys think of Cap/frank/spencer? What about Cap/hawkeye/spencer?

 

[choknater]

both of those sound legit

for frank it is just necessary to come up with some level up technology, and i don't know if cap has any. always room for creativity though. perhaps if cap has some kind of relaunch combo into tac? idk any of his combos lol.

i like the sound of cap hawkeye spencer

 

[The Nameless Wanderer]

Cap/Hawkeye/Spencer sounds like a good team. Foundation is easy to work with since all 3 aren't particularly hard to learn.

Cap on point with Hawkeye assist for mixups, Spencer's anti air can be used with Cap's shield and used in combos.

I would prefer Cap/Spencer/Hawkeye though since Hawkeye could use Level 3 X better imo and Spencer has an assist to help get in.

 

[Turazrok]

Yo, if you're getting hit by random Foot Dives, you're just awful.

Cuz I mean every doom just chunks out random foot dives, not like it's a great move or anything....

What a terrible character.

 

[TL?]

Wesker is 10x easier to use than doom.

 

[choknater]

spencer is hard to deal with

could i get some general tips on how to fight him?

 

[sanchaz]

Spencer wants you on the ground and you have to guess low, overhead, or command grab.

Pretty scary....I recommend that you play the lame game and play keep out, until you get your bread and butter in.

Example, Morrigan throwing soul fists into her combo, zero buster into lightning, dante's air play, etc.

What characters do you play?

@the captain america dude. no. Please just pick wesker/hawkeye/spencer. captain america is terrible, not iron fist terrible, but still pretty bad, .

 

[Turazrok]

Wesker is 10x easier to use than doom.

Also terrible, along with zero.

 

[choknater]

my main core has always been x-23/hsien ko

my game plan is to get 1 a hitconfirm that can lead into getting 2 meters, combo then dhc into armor, safe tag into 3rd character, so that the order becomes

____/x-23/hsien ko. and i try to use xf1 or xf2 to take out characters, preferrably xf2 for easy x-23 relaunch combos.

my 3rd character is usually an assist that helps x-23 in the beginning. i've been trying out strider, but x-23 can't really follow the vajra hard knockdown at all. and his damage on point is so low even though his mixups with hsien ko assist are really dirty. i just started using chris, and i've been using some chris/hsien ko stuff that LLND does.

however i'm still looking for that 3rd character with the best synergy

i like the team because wolverines and morrigan/dooms are really no problem for me. weskers and dooms are not so bad either.

i just find it really hard to keep out spencer, even when i have hsien ko assist. perhaps i should be going for the light land mine as chris

 

[Ragnar0k]

Cap is by far my best character so he'll be the one that stays on my team regardless. I'm liking the cap/spencer/hawkeye team so far though.

 

[Turazrok]

My main problem is I want to play characters whose combos I can't do.

LOL bold canceling

 

[sanchaz]

Cap is by far my best character so he'll be the one that stays on my team regardless. I'm liking the cap/spencer/hawkeye team so far though.

oh ****, best captain america player, OH NO! Dat double jump mixup!

Vergil works very well with x23. Rapid slash gives her a nice relaunch. (call assist), qcf M, rapid slash hits, Launch. This also works off a forward air throw. If you want to put vergil second you can dhc to sword loops and do some good damage. I hear Nova is also like BFF status for x23. No idea how well these character work with hsienko though.

 

[Ragnar0k]

oh ****, best captain america player, OH NO! Dat double jump mixup!

you're real productive thanks.

Cap being my best character =/= I'm the best cap player.

 

[choknater]

Thanks for the Vergil suggestion, TL. I think Vergil with Hsien ko assist would make quite a powerhouse.

I think ill stick with Chris for now though, since the team can legitimately fight against a variety of strategies (I LOVE that medium gun fire beats soul fist!) Also the new assist me by maximillian reminded me of some things that I forgot about, so it'll be refreshing to play as him again.

Edit: I hope everyone likes my new custom title

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Free Zero and Strider scrubs on PSN.

I've been having a field day.

 

[choknater]

have u played good players on psn, good players of zero and strider in particular?

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

dasboot42

Beat him by timeout. Wasn't free though.

Good PSN Striders do not really exist. They keep using Vajra H (not the assist). I take SO MANY games off of scrubby decisions like that cause all you do is jumpback and free kill.
