my hype meter is slowly building. i went from not caring to being semi excited. i cant think of what kind of team i want, or which character i want to run point yet tho. leaning towards maybe spidey or wolverine
i’ll probrablly put some serious time into training mode tonight to see whats what
No I haven’t tried the PDP yet I wrote PDP to see if Inthul and I could get some promotional pads for review. I also sent along some DMG business pushing Inthul as a pad player so I hope we get those pads before Winter Brawl. Looking at the pad I like that the face buttons don’t require you to press that hard and the D-pad being some kind of stick hybrid. The shoulder buttons are still and issue as it’s still has a shoulder on the left side. The Hori pad wins out by having 2 sets of shoulder buttons even if it requires I quick wire splicing.
But still I hope we get those promo pads. I will still give MvC3 a chance as I did pay for it but taking you guys advice I got back on a win streak in rank and I am not allowing myself to fall for the randoms acts. I put it like this every second of the rnd is used before it ends. I refuse to run in like a rekka machine and chase down the other player. I inch my way every so slowly. Once I get a life lead I fall back and force them to walk towards me where I know have full advantage with my normals, lp rekka and making sure that I have mk.fk buffered to stop there jumpins.
Videos will be up soon from a few of my matches
I’m guessing that every character in the game has at least some form of 100% combo, eventually people will find the right combinations for each and put together a combo with like a combo into a level 3 cancelled wit X-Factor and then another Hyper or something. In the guide Keits basically said any combo you can get 50% damage on a character with can be X-Factored and become a 100% combo right off the bat. I’m not worried about that really, because it’s expected really. I’m just worried about how addictive it’s going to be for me!
Oh yeah, and that pad looks sweet, regardless that I play stick and there’d be no point in me getting it 
I finished Akuma in C to Shining C. Once you learn his demon palm setups he’s a lot of fun and I can see why he’s such an annoying matchup for Fei.
Next is GEN.
I think my PP is going to drop below 500, lol.
Yo ! So you guys play MVC3 too ? niiiice, i bought it too, my team is named “Zoldik Team” and is composed with Dante, Deadpool and Spider-Man who remember me Fei-Long 
Beat By Contest will start in 3 days so i can’t really play MVC3 for the moment 
Did you read my PM? 
I hear ya, I’ve not played it yet and hardly know anything about it. But I’m thinking Sentinal on X-factor is going to be …well , just drop the stick and see if you can survive.
I’m not sure I’ll be able to handle Keep away characters mentally, I already have a hard time with Guile, never mind Sentinel , Doom and Magneto firing blasts and exchanging. It might all be too much for me… 
Ok I got the PDP Marvel fightpad today and I must say this pad is sweet! The d-pad does have the feel of a stick clicking sounds and all. The face buttons require very little pressure when pressing down which is another plus. The over feel and design feel great. The only negative as I am unable to play with it as I am at work is the lack of 2 sets of triggers at the top. This is a MEGA plus for the Hori pad. I will have a full video review tonight after I try it out on both MvC3 and SSFIV. I will go for the hardest links and see if this new pad makes the execution far more easier to perform.
Here are some pics of the unboxing

Ah Jason you’re getting me all hyped up :bgrin: Is the stick part a square-gate like the TE stick or an octagonal one like most analog sticks? It looks circular, but one can never tell what’s underneath.
They’re all out :sad:
Octagonal sir. I did full 360 rotations and there was no square gate feeling like a stick.
I will be picking up MvsC3 tonight, I would be so cool if Fei Long popped up there I imagine all the fun looking things they could exaggerate with him lol. My team will be a Marvel team, maybe Hisen Ko if i meet a bunch projectile spammers, Deadpool, Thor, spidey/shehulk/hulk, Wesker looks like fun, reminds me of Neo
They should’ve removed Akuma and put Fei Long in MvC3.
marvel is fun, but i dont know that i could play it competitively.
at this point i can do some combos and shit, but managing assists and team play eludes me.
so far im using wolverine as my point character, with the hulk, and im trying to find one more character.
Well after one day of playing about on it after a night with no sleep the night before, I can safely say I’m starting to love the way MvC3 feels. I’m learning Dante, Deadpool, Wesker, Storm and Sentinal, and there’s so much stuff to learn it’s nuts. Getting down one nice BnB for each character is more complicated than I thought it would be with the double jumping and individual chaining differences and what not. I have no idea what to do against anything offensive yet either lol it’s all so crazy I can’t figure out what to do. (and that second to last stage in the arcade mode where it’s 2 vs.1 is an absolute dick when you’ve no idea what you’re doing.
The SSF4 community has slowed to a crawl. I guess we’re all waiting on AE now to reignite the spark. I can’t imagine people NOT playing MvC3 at this point, if only to kill time.
haha, yeah… I’m still on ssf4. MvC3 wont be touched by me. I’m just waiting on MK9 and then AE, and then sfXt. I am getting the mk9 special edition that has Scorpion pulling subzero through 2 walls. It’s so incredible! Totally getting it. lol
You’re not touching Marvel at all Snootch?
Personally, my fears have gone for now because I’m really enjoying the game so far, but I’m not fussed about MK9. AE’s going to be a must, and SFxT is the one I’m excited for What a difference a day makes… 24 little hours.
Shoryuken - Mortal Kombat 9 - Liu Kang Gameplay Trailer and Cage in a Suit
More Bruce Lee anyone?
IMO, something’s just not right about MK9. Wonky hitbox detection or something… Kinda unappealing. SFxT is a big name on my wishlist though. I think 2v2 will be a lot more manageable compared to the chaos of MvC and will be more focused on the characters rather than the team combinations.
I never remember Liu Kang making that much noise before. As long as Fei makes SFx T Im cool. If not I will then be forced to pick up a 2nd and I am not really in the mood to learn anyone new. Im old and gray and my brain doesnt function that fast. :shake:
I’ve always been a MK fan, gonna pick this new one up glad they went back to 2d, but like Nos said the hit detection is weird looking for a 2d game and looks alot like those crappy 3d ones. Animations are somewhat stiff looking but i’m getting it regardless looks like the best iteration in a long time. Been waiting a few days for my copy of MvC3,my gf preorder as a gift back on x-mas, and typically UPS doesn’t have a damn problem leaving shit on my door step when im not home but this time there not, a sign for me to keep playing street fighter i suppose. Jumped online briefly yesterday and was struggling to find matches. After hearing all the babble about MvC3, i’m a little skeptical as i was into MvC2 alot and hearing how different this one is i’m not to hyped about it. Waiting on Tekken Tag 2 and SF x T, hopefully a new Guilty Gear is in pipeline somewhere.
