Most people think IM is underrated. Frankly, I think he’s overrated; he’s even worse than most people realize.
Obviously that’s my opinion, but I haven’t seen anything since the game dropped to convince me otherwise.
Iron Man (pre-release) felt like Magneto 2.0. His tridash B was really good and I was getting in on alot of people with doom rocks to cover me.
Then game comes out and well…
take away his tridash and make him harder than ever to use in Ultimate, and he’s pretty much worthless now
I definitely think he’s better than vanilla, I just think he was even more trash then.
Can’t really disagree with you here.
I thought even with the dodgy hit confirm in vanilla, IM is almost as good as Magneto had the DHC glitch was not discovered. As it is now, IM is useless, there is almost nothing he brings that other characters can’t bring without being a useless point character. Everyone on about IM being underrated, and yet he gets bodied every time in almost every tournament. How is he underrated?!
With all due respect I feel like the conversation around here is more “X can do this better than ironman, he’s ass” as opposed to "look what I found in the lab today that makes (most of ^.^) our favorite character better.
The separation between results and potential has been rehashed many times in the tier list thread. IM not winning tourneys does not necessarily mean he is bottom tier, in the same sense that Iron Fist winning a major does not necessarily mean he’s good. This is not to say I think Iron Man is good, but I do think it’s silly to make any assertions about him one way or the other based on tourney results. More importantly, I have to agree with US; this forum is for discussion of Iron Man’s gameplay and thus should be devoted to talking about how to use him effectively under the assumption that he is being used. The question of whether or not he’s worth using in the first place should be discussed in the tier list thread imo.
I’m getting a little bit sick of the “Iron Man is ass” discussion around here too. Didn’t Devil Jin make a thread just for that?
Its kind of irrelevant that he’s not S tier, there are plenty of characters in this game that can do everything well and that’s why they are top tier. Iron Man has very defined strengths and weaknesses, so we should be trying to make those strengths shine and covering those weaknesses as best as possible.
Dude I’ve finally gotten used to Iron Man’s weird movement and combos. Magneto and Tony make such a good pair together.
have fun
Iron Man (???)
Dr Doom (Plasma Beam)
Amaterasu (Cold Star)
No ik what your thinking, this team isn’t XD too good for ironman, and no… It’s not. Basically the goal with IM on point is to push them into the corner by forcing them to block SB and doom beam. Once their in the corner obvious things will happen. IMs mixups and ability to negate push block under certain circumstances + Coldstar = your dead. Also the incoming and Oki setups I’m working on in the corner with Coldstar involve tick throws, gaurd breaks, and the ability to consistently combo off instant overheads on the majority of the cast.
As for Doom/Ammy we’ve all seen colockwork/marlinpie play no?
One of the most ingesting things about the team is the use of plasma beam over missiles, I feel like plasma beam is safer to use an I can use it more often than missiles, even though I do lose the tracking and air patrol. Despite this, with flight, Hs, and unibeam/SB I feel like IM can control the air relatively well by himself.
I play this team relatively similar to marlinpie in the sense that I focus my gameplan on resets, mixups, and Snapback setups. It is probably not good to play the character as passively aggressive as I do but I find it fun XD. Plus if this Someone loses to this team, they become scared of iron man (which I love).
Oh, or they just become scared of XFC3 ammy
Man I’m telling the josh360 team is the more efficient way to go with iron man.
What team does he use?
I’ve never seen him play marvel 3, but he used Mags IM and Sent. That’s what I’m talking about.
Joker plays this team in UMvC3 and does really well with it. He’s arguably the best Iron Man player in UMvC3.
I’ve been using Ghost Rider (a) / Iron Man (a) / Nemesis (b)
GR with unibeam assist is just brutal, and can extend his combos with nemesis assist. He can DHC into Proton Cannon to end his supers, and he has a very short startup super that can be dhc’d into proton cannon to punish any assist call.
IM can do an extension with each of the assists after Krispy Kreme, and GR’s assist is incredibly useful when poking, and causes a wall bounce if it hits, which can easily be comboed whether IM is flying or standing.
Nemesis is just my anchor, I love him
Did joker drop ironman? If so I’m greatly hurt… saw him playing Mags/DrDoom/Sent in all of the recent videos rdk has posted
This is greatly disappointing if true. 
Greetings Iron Man users. My name is the Notorious Lemon, and I am taking the challenge of learning Tony. Since the late night I stood in the cold and bout this game at midnight, I fell in love with Doctor Strange, who as some may know needs a beam. I love Magneto, been learning him, but I gave Tony a try recently in a serious manor and they seem to be BFFs from things I have discovered. With that being said, I am running: Doctor Strange (Eye), Iron Man (Unibeam) , Dormammu (Dark Hole/Purification). Just coming here to get opinions and hopefully some love for deciding to try and take on the Man of Iron 
Stop before it’s too late, the rest of us are already stuck here.
