Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds

[smashbot226]

Yeah I use XBL and we can spar. The Bear Trap/Log Trap reset in the corner seems to not really work that well, I think it's probably better off if I reset with boulder trap instead.

Corner unblockables with Boulder Trap? Because I think that hits high. Oh lord, I would be in so much trouble against Rocket were it not for

It does hit high and Rocky can create an unblockable. Just a quick tip, ALWAYS pushblock Rocket Raccoon. If you don't I'm setting a boulder trap right under you so I can make my unblockable. If you push him away he won't be able to hit you with a crouching low attack. Boulder Trap and Log Trap are his two best moves.

So if using a PS controller, pad vs stick?

So if using a PS controller, pad vs stick?

Doesn't matter, it's just personal preference.

When I used to play on pad, I found the stick too mushy for specials, and didn't control concisely enough, so I used the d-pad. But either is fine, there's no wrong answer.

Or even switch back and forth between the two, if that's what you're into.

I hate the PS3 controller for everything. :/

 

[-LzR-]

I have a much easier time doing inputs like halfcircle or quick QC forwards and then backwards with a stick, but other stuff is easier with the pad. I kinda fail a QC inputs and I feel bad. I am so terrible at this game.

 

[UltiMario]

Only thing I like about pads are that SRK motions are hella easier.

Otherwise, I prefer stick.

I'm just glad it's not the 360 controller, personally.

Are their any other assist in the game that work like Spencers Slant Shot?

I'm doing a combo with Chris that ends in Crouching H --> Spencer Assist--> Grenade Launcher Super --> Flamethrower ---> Sweep Combo.

Chris Grenade Launcher doesn't even combo on airborne people = / I don't want to use Spencer , anyone know of assist that could work for this combo? My Team is looking like Chris/XX/Sentinel

Strider, Rocket Raccoon, and Wesker can help Chris connect his Grenade Launcher.

For Chris/strider you do cr. H + Varaja assist, Grenade toss M into Grenade Super, Grenade Toss M should pop them up to make all of the Grenade Super properly combo.

For Chris/Rocket, call out Rocky's Log Trap at the same time you do the Grenade Super in a corner and the whole thing will connect.

For Chris/Wesker you can do the a standard air combo into the corner, grenade toss M + Wesker's OTG assist and then Grenade Super.

This is good stuff. So in most OTG assist+Grenade Toss should help set this up?

 

[Jigglymaster]

This is good stuff. So in most OTG assist+Grenade Toss should help set this up?

Basically how it works is that Chris' first Grenade Launcher Shot puts the opponent in a hard knockdown state, Grenade Toss M pops them back up just in time before they recover and they are combo'd into the 3rd shot of the Grenade Super, which combos into the rest of it.

You need to have an assist that can let Chris use Grenade Toss M in the middle of a combo and then be able to connect with the first shot of his Grenade Super.

 

[DUB]

Yeah thats pretty spot on.

I got it to work for Iron Fists wall bounce, Vergils Rapid Slash, and Chun Lis rapid kick. He also has good DHC may not be suc ha bad character with drones backing him up.

 

[Redd]

Why are SRK motions so damn difficult on stick? I literally played straight for 5 hours today and near the end still was missing them in combos a lot (some are easier than others of course)

If anyone wants to play on XBL add me! GT is Reddddddd (that's 7)

 

[Yazz]

my current team is Haggar(Double Lariat)/Frank(Shopping Cart)/Spencer(H. Grapple)
im looking to replace Haggar an Frank maybe. any suggestions?

Chris works very well with both Haggar and Spencer. Haggar/Chris/Spencer is pretty beast.

zero. He's the besssssss.

 

[Pikaville]

Or be a real man and use Akuma/Sent/Doom.

Those TAC combos are GDLK.

 

[The Nameless Wanderer]

Oh man I love playing around with THCs.

One I use is Spencer+Iron man. Full Screen punish with a Bionic Arm that's safe and Spencer can continue a combo after it. I'm also sure that Iron Man's Proton Cannon up close hitbox is something like frame 1 though I'm not sure.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Comes out on the second or third frame, iirc.

Don't hold me to that. When I get around to unpacking my books tomorrow I can confirm. Lol.

I thought sentinel lost his serious TAC combos in ultimate.

Keep practicing. I got SRK motions dowm in like a day playing Vanilla.

Focus on playing good people and learning the fundamentals. That becomes key to getting any good.

EDIT: Since the "best Spiderman" isn't attending EVO I'll have to keep dreaming about that top 16. Oh wait, Justin Wong is going so nevermind.

 

[TL?]

I'm officially registered for UFGT8 in UMVC3 and SCV as "Pat". I will be running Arthur/Morrigan/Strider and then Morrigan/Vergil/Strider when I start to lose lol. You peoples better cheer for me if I somehow manage to make it far enough to be on stream!

 

[choknater]

man..... akuma has some freakin crazy solo damage. just watched that honzo gonzo combo vid. great stuff. i can see why he has low health now lol. he's really a great character

 

[Pikaville]

Yeah he really does.

His loops are easy enough too.

<3 him!

People think I'm crazy using him on point.

 

[DUB]

Chris G runs him on point with that Morrigan meter assist during the Demon Flip ground bounce. I get caught up in all Morrigans soul fist spam, I never realized how much meter you get from her assist = O. Akuma can pump out hypers all day. I'm not sure if Ammy or Frank's give comparible gain but I never really see anything but Shopping Cart and Cold Star from them.

Frank and Ammy give exactly as much meter but they stay vulnerable on screen for longer and they have useful other assists.

 

[Pikaville]

Jesus I never knew about those xfactor tatsu loops you could do with crouching moves!

 

[disasterABDUL]

Yeah he really does.

why? his combo of nerfs and buffs were put into play so he could be a better point character instead of an anchor

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

He's still a great anchor...

I'm guessing you're being sarcastic. But Akuma is actually a pretty well balanced character....

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

^Yeah I quess I worded that incorrectly.

My point is that if Akuma is supposed to be a point character then they did a poor job at that since he's still a great anchor.

 

[Pitzer]

So, I made a Trish team and its pretty great.

 

[mood4food77]

ummmmmm.....

if a character is good on point, they make a great anchor

seriously, unless you're thor, ghost rider, hulk, tron, she hulk, or hsien-ko, you can be a good anchor

 

[sanchaz]

Whos going to UFGT8?

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Who's placing top 32 at EVO?

 

[disasterABDUL]

^Yeah I quess I worded that incorrectly.

My point is that if Akuma is supposed to be a point character then they did a poor job at that since he's still a great anchor.

they weren't trying to make him less of a good anchor
they were just trying to make players use him as more of a well rounded character like he was meant to be.


edit:
a friend of mine is going to be a judge at evo

 

[TL?]

Whos going to UFGT8?

I am.

I registered as "Pat". They changed me to "Pat M". I'm in UMVC3 and SCV. Just call me Pat if you see me. Hopefully I'll beat some people with arthur.
