Hi Honzonospacegonzo. I was wondering about your opinion on the umvc3 characters… specifically:
Who do you think is the strongest of all the new characters from what you’ve seen or been able to try out. If you can’t say who is the strongest, who would you say are the top 3?
Do you see firebrand as a potential wolverine with wings?
Who do you think ate the most nerfs out of all the vanilla chars?
Do you think zoning is truely more prevalent in Umvc3 from what you have seen or tried or heard, or is it just little fanboys getting overexcited like it’s Christmas present opening time, when in reality, it will continue to be rushdown-based.
I ask myself this everytime I play him. If you’re looking for bad matchups, wolvie,mag,dante,wesker are probably his worst matchups. Ammy is too, but one c M to ammy means she dead, so its a delicate matchup.
I play wesker/dante on my team but I’m not that great at the game. I picked it up a while ago but never really got that interested until a little while ago but I can’t count how many times I’v been OCV’d by wesker.
real talk, don’t feel bad about losing to wesker. You’ll have to take your lickings now, so you’re better prepared for the watered down wesker in ultiamte. I share your pain having to play people like viscant.
arthurs dagger assist is really good rush down assist, not a good approach assist. It enables hitconfirms and good pressure rather than a let me in. Dark Gold Arthur is a gimmick to be honest, its a fun and good gimmick, but a gimmick nonetheless. In competive play I honestly wouldn’t reccomend it, if you want to have fun on the other hand then HOW IS YOUR SPEED.
What can you do against Taskmasters strings into shield skill xx horizontal arrows? I think the arrows are plus on block, so you just pushblock and try something else?
Yeah man I watched about the entire Norcal vs Capcom Tourny good job (that phoenix lol).
I have a Taskmaster question tho. In the new build do you think is it possible to do regular bnb, end with M+H air arrows + assist(akuma for example) then charging star to relaunch like in vanilla?
why dont you like arthurs assist as a way in? the low space that it takes up?? thats all i can think of cause it isnt duckable is very fast and has good durability.
also… my only other question… what do against magnet ho?
Honzo my main team is Spidey, Hulk and Iron Man. What would be the best assist for each one? My 2nd team is Cap, Thor and Iron Man. What would be the best assists for them? Thanks!
in between shield skills and three arrows your not in hitstun, once three arrows hit you hes plus. If i do two arrows I’m safe though. So, if you want to punish my fully charged arrow pressure, i’ll just set you up next time to eat ammy assist with two arrows and kill your char.
Some1 like mag can slide punish for example.
well I started by streaming my ranked matches of mvc3, and then I went out to starbase in march-ish and got bodied by champ and crizzle a lot. Then I kept going out and eventually started winning a few of the tourneys and placing 2nd a bunch. Plus I started going out to ramnation, and both these tourneys were streamed, so I guess by proxy I got a lot of screen time, even though norcal tourneys aren’t as respected as wnf for some reason.
I guess thats how people know me, because a lot of people know me which is weird to me, because I’m so new. I guess stream monstering like my life dependened on it prolly helped a lil bit.
TY! I hear the stream monsters were blowing me and my notebook up
ty and yeah i didn’t use any of the new anti phoenix shit, just honestly forgot about it, plus snapbacks with task don’t work anymore in combo soooooo yeah.
You need an assist to relaunch yes, its impossible to do it solo from what me and dacid saw. Akuma assist is nerfed so it might be stricter timing or just won’t work. Something that causes a bounce or is really long will work way better.
ts easy to manuever around, it doesn’t have instaneous high durability its durability increases over the startup period like a lot of chars; its just fucking slow, other assists do what it does way better.
I’m not saying it fucking sucks, nor that you couldn’t use it as a get in assist, I just think that its other uses are better.
magneto is derp asshole tier, you have to touch him basically. I know thats a general thing, but its equivalent to trying to punch a fly while in the middile of a bee swarm. Plus the bee will charge at you from ambigious directions, then lame you out if he desired…
either touch him and kill him, get hella good at blocking, or just wait till ultimate. All of these things defeat his current incarnation.
Honzo, do you think ‘zoning’ teams will still be weak against Phoenix in Ultimate? And Dacid said you thought you could beat her without snapping her in. What’s your plan there?
Seems like playing a zone game against a Phoenix team guarantees she’ll turn dark. Is the plan to take it slow and go into the fight against her with all 3 characters, meter stocked and X-Factor?
Honzo how good is arthur right now in this point in UMvC3? I loved him but he was just so weak so I had to go with “WESKER” if I didn’t wanted to get blown up in ranked, I would love to go back to him let me know!
