I can do threads, make videos and whatnot. But I won’t accept the nomination until I actually get UMvC3. I don’t want to have a thread about a character I don’t like, and I don’t believe in letting threads die. Keep them updated as long as it’s relevant.
I’ll help as much as I can 
I’m not sure I’ll be playing him either. He will be a completely different character in Ultimate and so far I’m not thrilled with what I’m hearing.
Yeah, that’s where I’m at too. I really don’t think he’ll “feel” like Iron Man anymore. The question is whether I like the new character or not. I am addicted to unibeam assist…
It’ll be between IM and hawkeye for me!
I have 100% character loyalty to Stark. He’s the main reason I even play this game.
I’ll still be here
Have been and still will be playing Iron Man since day 1, even if I still can’t do any relaunch or flight combos.
Don’t worry, I’ll have stuff for all ya’llz soon. probably start with trials though…
Iron Man scales down to 10% instead of 20% now. He will probably end up doing way less damage in his combos despite things like repulsor spread causing a hard knockdown.
Yeah, but don’t his specials scale better? Plus he has new links and combo routes (thanks to faster fly and the AD cancelable jNormals) that could still have his overall damage where it was before or better.
His abare will be better that’s for sure, and that was one of his biggest problems in Vanilla.
The brunt of his damage came from the normals. I’m pretty sure his damage will be the same (only because of the mashable supers) or worse.
That change alone is huge, Tasky seems to have lost about 200k damage on his combos because of the same thing.
I will agree that hit confirming will be easier though.
So I got the game and Iron Man seems really obtuse. He definitely has better wall carries, but they’re really weird compared to Magneto’s.
After about a half hour with him I managed to break 800k, so maybe I was a little hasty in saying that the scaling nerf would hurt him.
He’s definitely not a rushdown character now though.
He’s definitely very different to handle, I’m kinda sad to see how he just drops like a stone once you cancel a dash into a normal. Maybe his mixups will be ground flight shenanigans instead of trijumps now?
One thing I accidentally discovered that I totally was not expecting: it looks like you can cancel Smart Bombs into normals. At the very least you can do c.
s.:h: :f::d::df: c. s.:h::s: etc in the corner, pretty easily at that. Might be worth exploring.
edit: Forgot to check for an un-stickied UMVC IM thread. Man, I was afraid the IM group on SRK had all jumped ship! :wasted:
He just recovers way faster from smart bombs now. The tradeoff is that they don’t have nearly as much hitstun (really dumb imo). It makes it alot harder to link assists at the end of a combo.
That’s not a cancel, its a link. But yes links are possible after Smart Bomb now, I know you can do S after a L Smart Bomb if you’re close enough (it might be corner only).
Technically speaking, L smart bomb has a cancelable recovery time.
Wait, really? I just thought it recovered stupid quick.
is it an everything cancel or only special moves and supers… ie can it be movement canceled.
-dime
It isn’t cancelable, it just has a shit ton of frame advantage.
Actually, all of them have alot of advantage now (about +10), so they might be good for Blockstrings, kinda like how you could use 2C in vanilla.
