The airdash blocking change is fine and rushdown is certainly not dead. Original post should be edited with the accurate information, too. Only certain characters could block during their airdashes in the first place so its just bringing their risk/reward in line with the other characters. The affected characters will definitely have to think more while approaching instead of getting an easy in. Dont know about the rest of you but I think adding more thought to this game is a good thing. I do feel for ammy and spiderman though since their airdashes last sooo long, lol.
I wonder if fly speeds are next.
Seriously, why are so many people over-reacting to changes that been around for months? UMvC3’s air dashes are the SAME as last week, last month, etc.
Watch some of the UMvC3 gameplay clips over the last couple months and you will see none of these changes are gamebreaking by any means.
Rushdown is not dead. Mixups are not gone. Airdashes are still good. Ammy can still combat pushblocks very well and is actually quite a bit stronger with the XF normalizing and usable in the air/air changing weapons.
Relax guys, no need to panic.
IDK Seems kinda Lazy. I think they should of nerfed specific character air dashes instead of just doing it to all.
Like they just said " Fuck it , let just nerf all. Save the time". But whatever…that probably wasn’t the case.
Those have actually been buffed, lol.
just like how they completely removed the dive kick mixups in mvc2.
The only character who could block during their air dash before who was confirmed to have that taken away was Amaterasu. With this apparently applying to everyone, it really hurts those who depend on long and slower air dashes to move around such as Morrigan and Spidey and doesn’t really change anything about characters who couldn’t block before or have really fast or short air dashes such as Dante.
lol…
anything air dashes…
GRAVITY SQUEEZE ON REACTION.
Hulk has tons of bad matchups in vanilla if you can simply get him to block (beam/multi-hitting assists). You shouldn’t be jumping in on Hulk in Vanilla unless you’ve got armor shredding jump attacks (Morrigan/Hsien-Ko/Shuma Gorath/Taskmaster for example) or normals with huge range (Sentinel) or you think he’s crouching so you can instant overhead him for free. He has only two wakeup options and that is to block or gamma crush. That’s how you kill Hulk.
Morrigans airdash completes faster than it was before and she can mixup better with it.
Spideys I’m not 100% sure about but I’ve seen no evidence that he can’t block after his since his is not a traditional airdash, not to mention he can cancel in to it AND the web travels faster increasing its speed now which more than makes up for it even if he cant, and he has recieved loads of buffs beyond that.
@Faith From Hell: Oh, I know Hulks bad match ups. I play Hulk, and I’ve watched my poor green goliath get spanked plenty of times. Actually, Hulk is one of the few characters who will benefit all around from all these changes.
Sentinel, on the other hand…
L-O-fucking-L
god forbid you guys have to think before you do something. You guys bitch about everything that isn’t scrubby. Could you block while airdashing in any other vs game? no you couldn’t. So suck it up and deal with the only thing in this game that makes sense.
@da_dragon: Um, I haven’t seen anyone really bitching dude. There have been a lot of talks about logistics, amd some people lamenting team changes because there teams were built around certain mechanics, but no bitching. It’s constructive and friendly speculation here.
Please don’t flame. We’re enjoying the conversation and having fun. Join in.
Does this apply to all versions it, whether she takes off from the air or ground? If so, then I can see some ways to make up for it even without assists…
I’m not sure about ground, but she can do it quicker when jumping, it doesnt have as harsh frame restrictions as before, and completes faster. Her flight mechanics/combos have improved too.
Overall she’s quite a bit stronger than before, especially considering she’s one of the few characters that got damage buffs instead of nerfs, and many of her problematic matches been nerfed. She should see more use than before.
I’d really like to see Chocolate Hulk with his hyper armored s.H.
Hulk smash dashing dog!
Hulk smash dashing magneto!
Hulk smash stupid taskmaster!
Hulk smash gustaff flame!
Hulk smash stupid flame carpet!
I hope it can beat Sent’s c.M…
If that’s the case then it’s fair, since Morrigan’s air dashes were complete ass before.
I think I love him too.
Seriously though, me and Hulk are over here dancing a jig to these changes.
