Heroes and Heralds mode discussion thread

Just to ask a really basic question that I’m sure has been answered somewhere but I haven’t seen yet:

There’s an offline versus mode for this, right? As in, I can play against friends using the card system (which I love the batshit insanity of, by the way), without having to go online? Or is it strictly against the computer in offline play and against other people in online?

You can do this once in Vanilla anyways.

This mode already makes possible something I was dying to see in Vanilla. 1v1 character fights.

Can’t wait to play team of 1 with Speed and specials>specials. ELASTIC ELASTIC ELASTIC METEOR INFERNOOOOOO

There should be a card that enables you to pick old versions of characters. It would make it easier to compare differences.

Who would be on that card? a time traveler or something?

Wasp! Will be great having mini versions of everyone :razzy:

There should be a card with a picture of a giant cannon on it, it would make the characters how weak/powerful they normally are so Phoenix would just instantly kill anyone and Phoenix Wright wouldn’t be able to hit :rofl:

Kang the Conqueror or the High Evolutionary.

Loki, Thanos, Red Skull, Ultron and Cyclops cards! Can’t wait to play this.

The side tournament / mystery tournament potentials for this is immense.
Blowing it up with casual friends will be delicious.
Especially with some alcohol.
Can’t wait!

NOOOOOOOOO I dont want a thanos Card damnit I want THANOS.

Well I hope nobody was planning to use Arthur in this mode, Projectile Invulnerability card essentially makes him unusable, lol.

The only problem I have with this mode having no concern for balance is that there will probably be 3 broken cards that everyone would always use to dominate…so then you’d have to start your own little ban list if you wanted to even consider a fun casual tournament

Not being able to block while Air Dashing should have been a card (enemy debuff card)

Wesker. Double-Jump and Airdash from Megaman X card. Projectile Invulnerability. Super Armor or Invisbility.

This shit will be so deliciously broken.

With Heroes and Heralds mode, I’m thinking the main cards that I’m going to be using aren’t really going to be the most ‘broken’ combinations but the most fun ones. Usually involving extra mobility options.

Extra jumps and air dashes, teleportation, new special cancels and combo chains… That sort of thing. It just seems really fun to experiment with stuff like that.

Now broken’s good again? This year has literally been a full circle. I suppose having it as another mode helps, until of course we all discover a card that probably should have been in the main game (mark my words there will be a card set that will be the preferred method of play among the community). Could be worse.

Viva la options!

Broken is fine when it’s a “for fun” side mode not directly tied to the core of the game.
Broken is not fine when it’s a character killing 2 characters with a level 1 XFC by just doing magic series shit or filling the whole screen with wall bouncing hellfire.

This is going to generate the best combo videos ever.

I love that they decided to just put all the crap they can think of into a game as a side mode.

Looks and sounds like fun. However the pessimist in me. Sorry the pessimist that is me is worried that stuff like this diverts resources that could be used to bring vanilla MvC3 from its current beta test state to an actual fully functional game. Like show me all this flashy extra mode stuff once you’ve shown me that that X-Factor, TACs, etc. aren’t completely retarded and that you know what you’re doing.
