Heroes and Heralds mode discussion thread

I heard mention of a ‘megacrush xfactor’ card.

Viktorkain: That was simply speculated and presents a possible positive use of this mode for competitive play. I cannot confirm what sort of cards exist. I am speaking only in theoreticals and have no special information that anyone else doesn’t already have. This should be considered to apply to any post I make in this thread.

What if… some of the cards acted as testing grounds for mechanics the devs were afraid to put in for fear of imbalance?

Not saying it’s all a conspiracy or anything. But maybe some of the less-broken/gimmicky cards are ideas the devs want to see in action with it affecting the meta, to take notes from?

I think you’re right, except its not really ‘testing’. It’s a really good way to get a social online mode, give people something to collect (which keeps folks playing, plus pokemon effect), AND let them throw in cool mechanics and ideas that would break the game.

I feel pretty confident that it’s not literally a ‘lab’ though, they’re not gonna add any major engine changes at this point.

there’s prolly a card to negate your opponent’s xfactor, infinite wall/ground bounces, no hitstun degeneration, dhc glitch card, insta heal, insta 5 meters…

Yeah, you’re probably right. Any way it turns out, it’ll act as a good diversion from normal online/tourney/whatever play (diversion from a video game, hurrhurr). Though I do think that’d be a good medium for devs to test ideas in the future.

Besides, now Capcom can say everyone is balanced… in Heroes and Heralds Mode!

I hope there is a card that allows automatic rage quit if I’m getting bodied.

So lazy these days. Just yank the cord!

I’m gonna try to parry a gravity squeeze.

oops wrong thread sorry.

was just wondering why marvel didnt have the system that sfxt did

megaman post 106934842952.634 achieved!

So… you guys think Megaman will be on a card? Every single version of him?

Megaman X Card: Instantly removes the target character from the game until card is removed.

remember when i said “this is MAHVEL baby, you can’t just parry everything.”…
capcom just said WELL F*** THAT BRO

Lol Nemesis with invisbility that’s so nasty, I kept thinking this was going to be the equivelant of “Weapon Master” or “Tower of Souls” from the Soul Calibur series. It’s looking like it is, Howard the Duck confirmed as a card.

When Ryu was parrying Chun-Li’s attacks the entire crowd in the panel roared with excitement.

UMvC3 is more character driven. It was a great way to pay homage to other characters by using cards instead of gems.

super armor
proyectile invincibility
invisible assist

this mode is going to be broken, anyway, i like it

After seeing this trailer I’m seriously excited for this mode. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I can’t wait to play it.

Is it silly that my main reason for wanting to pick the Heralds side is the effect on the characters? Reminds me of the Metal mode unlock in Soul Calibur.

it’s such a HURR DURR mode. This will be exciting for like the first month

I know what this sounds like.
ITEMS ON AT EVOOOOO
