Air Dash Nerf. Lets talk about it

spiderman is not good in mvc3

spiderman, even with the known buffs, without blocking during airdash is basically worse in umvc3 without knowing anything else.

if you’re complaining about spiderman, props to the spiderman player. but really spiderman has enough blatant problems not to be a good character.

Sorry but sadly for now it feels like Spidey has suffered more nerfs than buffs. The web throw now scales but now you can follow up after it (half good, half bad), the webzip is faster and we can cancel specials into it but from what we know it is now negative on block which is very bad for him and by losing the ability to block on our airdash it looks like spidey will be even more assist dependant than in MVC3.

LOLFACT

Does this mean that Chun Li has gotten even worse now?? LOOOOOOOOOOL

I don’t mind the change. Honestly, was there ever any negative to the air dash? Now at the very least we’re forced to pick our spots.

Maybe I don’t mind it because overall UMvC3 seems (at least right now) to require a lot more thinking.

modok/sent approves

Who ever uses Spider-man’s airdash anyways. It doesn’t say anything about web zip.

Probably not. Her air dash is really short and people who use it are usually committed to attacking at close range anyway.

ummmm… all Spider-Man mains!!! Web Zip is good but not great

Ammy player- "Aww it sucks she can’t block on airdash, well I guess we’ll just get used to it"
SrkMembers- “AHAHAHA FUCK THAT DOG”.

One month later:

SrkMembers- "DOOD EVERYONE IS GETTING AIRDASH NERFS WTF, THIS IS BULLSHIT"
Ammy players- “Looks like the tables have turned.”

I would like to summarize my perspective as: “lolMorrigan”.

Not sure if serious…

Wow people will actually have to think before doing shit like airdash J.2H with ammy.

Much ado about nothing guys. This is hilarious. No one airdashed and blocked regularly except Ammy, and her strength was in her versatility anyway, not in her ability to bulldoze forward in Solar Flare over and over again. She can feint vines and pick her spots.

Let’s not pretend like airdashing in blocking was a terrific idea in a game where everyone airthrows everyone to death on reaction to jump-ins, either. That’s not how it plays out. Everyone is airdashing forward mashing on OS throw/air H like everyone else.

Pre-MvC3 you couldn’t block during airdashes. See also the reason 60% of random Hailstorms hit.

Not a big deal.

have you really met a spider-man player that didn’t air dash at all but used web zip instead? i think i heard somewhere that you can’t block while web zipping either but i am probably wrong.

The issues I have with this as a Dorm player is against characters like dante/trish or anyone else who can stuff dorms tri-jumps with good anti airs i sometimes just forward airdash and block so i can get a bit closer since dorm has no wavedash and his walk spped is ass.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-wait, why am i even replying to a thread about this joke of a game

senseless “fixes” to make the game more “casual friendly”

carry on :coffee:

EDIT: now that i remember, you cant block during AD in MvC2 either, you can only block after the dash is done

Ummm This does not affect Thor in the slightest he already cant block during his air dash. I know nothing of Ironman.

I don’t play Spider-man, I just often see people using Web Zip over his airdash.

Blocking during universal airdashes being taken out is fine with me. As a Zero player (also playing a bit of Ammy) the fact that you can just dash into danger and then hold back and block at the last possible moment is pretty damn stupid. On top of the fact that zoning is not really that good in 3 in the first place, hopefully zoning will be more of a threat so characters like Zero and Ammy have to commit to their mobility actions.

Pressing two buttons and then letting the game do all the work all the while you’re being more and more able to pressure your opponent was so silly in 3.

I’m glad the universal 8-way airdash was fixed to only downback. I couldn’t imagine what Iron Man (and Thor I suppose) having to put up with even more mobility issues.

iron man can’t
