it was on kotaku, and will the psp’s version for digital download hopefully with online

Might as well, I’m wondering when they’re gonna get on X-Men/Marvel vs. SF, and MVC1

The article states that it will be a UMD Legacy release, which–if I’m not mistaken–means that it will be the PSP version exactly with no changes or extras or additions, and it will only be playable on your PSP. (You buy it through PSN Store, download it to your PS3, and then transfer it to your handheld.)

While it’s true that the “MAX” edition does include some extra characters, it’s worth noting that arcade A3 is already playable in all its glory with absolutely spectacular netcode on both GGPO and 2DF.

It’s for the PSP…not PS3.

A dream for me would be the dc version of a3 released on psn with online mode. I’ll keep wishing but I doubt that will ever happen

I’d be wary of players quickly discovering “broken” custom character builds that would have competitive players choosing the same characters/builds to win. Just based on personal experience, i built a custom Rolento who could break a character’s guard in about four fierce hits. Iirc, there were two bonuses that improved your guard crush ability, and at least one that improved your tick damage(possibly two: one for increased tick damage of specials, and one that gave your regular attacks tick damage). Imagine, if you will, a blocked air fierce->standing close fierce(2 hits) taking off 3/4 of your guard meter; throw out a slide, or even just another fierce punch(Rolento’s range was pretty good), and if your opponent blocks, his guard is crushed… and he loses a bar off of his meter, making it even easier the next time around.

I also made a “pure offense” X-ism Akuma with every damage boost available. He was a beast, though at least somewhat balanced by the fact that he also took big damage, and was unable to air block.

We always played with the regular characters only, I never got into the world of custom ones. I still play a3 online and while it is dated, its still a great game although v-ism ruined it for me

@viperxmns, the PSX versions of the Vs games sucked!

Are You aware You are digging up ancient threads?Not to mention spamming the board.
