You’re being too generous, I’d give it about two weeks max.
The thing is, that video is 100 times more entertaining to watch than Brawl 1v1 videos with no items.
Giving Dante projectile invincibility, assist armor means unblockables w/o risk of assist taking full combo, and invisibility. This mode will be sooooooo broken. I CANT WAIT!
But isn’t that why it’s good? If you get bored in two weeks, you just go back to the regular versus, but what if you get tired of the Gem thing on SF X Tekken? It’s part of the gameplay.
Of course, even being mandatory it could still be pretty good if done right, but having played SF IV, it won’t.
this is good, I like this
Wow the mode looks crazy; invisibility, projectile invincibility, burst, parries, assists that stun lol. Looks like pure fun, I knew UMVC3 wouldn’t have many modes but this one is more then enough to satisfyyy. (Like who played Team battle/W/e in AE N_N)
I just wanted something to switch to from the Versus matches for a break just to mess around and have fun.THIS IS THAT GET HYPE WHOO
Mystery tournaments are getting a new game in their lineup :3
I like this mode, I’ll play some of that before going back to normal gameplay…
Anyone who plays low tier characters is going to live in this mode. 
Not sure why there is a select group of people complaining about this. They were probably the same ones who were complaining about a lack of content in Vanilla… Some people are never happy.
I personally think it’s awesome to get modes like this & the Cards… more than anyone expected for only a $40 expansion.
I kinda have mixed feelings about the new card system. On one hand, I love the idea of being able to customize your character to do different things vs. what another person has for that same character. But on the other hand, it’s a separate mode, meaning it probably won’t be taken seriously to be something tourney worthy. With there being so many complaints about vanilla MvC3, the card system will allow people to restore certain elements they’ve missed. Certain cards I’m definitely hoping are available are:
- tech roll card
- faster air recovery card
- burst/megacrash card (maybe)
While I had my reservations about buying UMvC3, I have thoroughly been convinced to buy it now. They really have already changed/fixed quite a bit to pique my interest. But, the card system thing, I’m just wondering if it’s something that will be allowed for tourneys. If not, then I guess it’s no big deal, or maybe they will just ban certain cards and allow others. From the video, there are already obvious cards that would be banned:
- invisibility card
- assist invulnerability card
- special to special card
But we’ll see. The possibilities for this game have really been stepped up.
I’m trying to wrap my mind around a dog parrying Phantom Dance.
…
head explodes
I will answer you in short… This is a Sidemode… You can still play normal ranked matches, Player matches and lobbies…
The card stuff is too broken for serious competition, hell, Marvel 3 is almost too broken for that.
Maybe side tournaments.
I’m gonne give it a shot anyway, looks fun, more than enough for me.
I wonder what the squirrel girl card will do?
Thats your answer right there. Some people are just never satisfied so they complain and whine about what they dont have, and when they get it, they’ll complain about something else. Not to mention there’s the group of people (not directed at anyone on here) that hate Mahvel 3 just because it isnt Mahvel 2 and want to bash anything even slightly good about the game.
I’m also surprised I haven’t seen the words “scrub”, “casual”, “dumb down” or SRK’s favorite “RANDOM” used at all yet. Also the X-Factor Burst seemed to work in a BB Gold Burst style, instead of a Megacrash like burst. Cuz I saw Strange activate it and Iron Fist flew back. I can see that getting banned if EVER reached to tourney play.
First chance I get, I’m using it to parry Haggar’s Rapid Fire Fists as Hulk.
Let’s see if you’re a challenge NOW, Politician!
Can’t wait for the Dr. Wahwee card the replaces all the voice acting with the cast of Megaman 8.
As for side tourneys, can’t wait to see some 1v1 matches. That’ll be a nice refresher from the main versus.
I’m not big on the gem system in SFxT yet I’m totally fine with the card system in UMVC3, guess I’m a hypocrite lol. But I lost it when I saw X-Factor Combo Breaker and Parry. Why couldn’t SFxT do it this way? O well, I’m sold, I’ll be buying this launch day.
I’m seriously concerned about the projectile immunity card… keepaway teams made 100% impossible, characters like taskmaster that use projectiles during combos will drop, a lot of characters hypers are projectiles meaning all of those useless. I’m wondering if there are negation effect cards that would disable things like projectile immunity on the other team or something.
The mode sounds amazing, but not if I have 0 chance of winning due to 1 card.
