I love how many people are freaking out Phoenix’s health. When she first came out people were pre-maturely screaming broken and now that people see she is brittle they act like she sucks. Gotta love theory fighting based off youtube vids and justin tv. I like speculation as much as the next guy but sometimes it gets laughable.
Time will tell. Phoenix has bad health but she has shown other aspects about her that seem fairly strong. Just because a character has a glaring weakness doesn’t mean it outweighs what makes him/her/it strong.
I don’t care much for health. Saw the vid and saw crazy meter gain and powerful moves when in dark pheonix. and it looks like once ur in it and play ur cards right game is over. imo i think if ur going to use pheonix ur going to have to make a team around getting her to dark pheonix and when that happens fuck shit up. problem with that is getting ur team to stay alive that long and still have assists to help u out. but this is just me thinking. back to college work. lol. commented cause all the crying of jean and her health.
true, the OP of all the character threads are fine. unfortunately, the rest of the thread devolves into a quagmire of theory fighting, comic book canon, tier lists, obsessive video clip dissection and plain half-ass guesses, etc. but hey, it wouldn’t be the monkey cage without the chimps.
Yup. The days of actually playing the game dictating the results of matchups/tiers (I hate that fucking word) are slowly decaying. It is all about youtube and streams.
soooo… what i see happening is pheonix low health not mattering that much because a few weeks after launch everyone is gonna be doing 100% combos all day anyway on every character
dont get hit - just like every other high stakes game!
So you are saying that the OP should exist and no follow up? I mean in your list you pretty much list…well everything. Is this not a public forum and, a place of discussion?
P.S. Welcome to the cage, just don’t touch that banana or the rest of the chimps will beat the fuck out of you, but I have no idea why.
Edit: I thought of stuff that wasn’t on the list so it ok to discuss. Color choice discussion, details on what you would do with various female cast members and how hard, and bitching about their VAs.
For clarification this is a light hearted poke not meant to upset or start some kind of flame war.
i’m not trying to stop it. it’s been going on for months. obviously, most people in the MvC3 forums like inane banter (as opposed to productive info based on a released game) even if they have to manufacture it themselves because they can’t stand the silence of no new info about the game.
no worries. there is no one in the monkey cage who can offend me. OTOH, the cage is always good for a laugh albeit unintentionally on their part.
Pft, hey guys look at the monkey who thinks he is human!
Seriously though, yeah you are right. Lack of info pretty much makes us make up our own, though I see nothing particularly wrong with it as long as people realize that we are just guessing here, even though some don’t. It is embarrassing when it turns into a flame ware, and even more embarrassing when you are part of it (guilty).
Anyhow, without the speculation my prostrate would be dangerously swollen from too much porn.
Not trying to be a kiss ass, but A. I agree and B. I look forward to the commentary for this game from you. I don’t envy your job (well that is not true I do) it’ll be hard to keep up lol.
I don’t think thats entirely accurate, the 100 percent combo’s we saw today(one from magneto and one from wesker) both require 3 bars and an x-factor(in weskers case a lvl 3 x-factor) so these are combo’s we won’t be seeing consistently. On the other hand, the two combo’s we’ve seen kill jean were both basic bnb’s into lvl 1’s.
Well it’s still a lot better to think that it takes less bars to kill Phoenix than it takes to kill others in one combo. I’m sure there will be more 100 percent combos to come once the game is released, especially without the use of X-factor. All that will make this health issue seem less big of a deal.
I agree. I think Jean is going to have some hard hitting, if not 100%, combos (without X-Factor). She looks to deal excellent damage off the average combos we’ve seen so far. Also, she seems to have alot better offensive options then alot, if not all, of the cast. In high level play with the damage so high it might just be who gets the first hit and Jean looks good at securiing that. Her only real problem will be people trying to chip her out. That’s when you get close and activate Healing Field (or vise-versa) to get that red health back since that’s all Healing Field seems good for. It is to early to tell, but that’s my general assumption.
I had already decided I was going to main Phoenix before we saw how poor her health is. I’m actually excited: “Not getting hit” is going to help my MvC3 game overall, anyway!
I guess that’s what I get for picking characters that I like, not characters that I like to play as.
