I can't control it! - The Phoenix Thread

i have to admit i was a bit excited when i saw ‘phoenix’ on the front page, then disappointed that it wasnt phoenix wright :frowning:

Do you guys think she will be able to heal while in Dark Phoenix mode?

Oh just the opposite, this reveal literally confirms Sent.

I want to know how Healing Sphere works with Dark Phoenix, maybe the regaining health and decreasing health will just cancel it out, and since X-Factor stops her health from decreasing, doing Healing Sphere while in X-Factor could potentially heal her health normally?

If so, me likey

it her horizontal fireball

It looks likes Chun was just crouching, while Phoenix was hitting her. Or was that what you meant?

I vote for a thread name change. Perhaps, “If at first you don’t succeed… Resurrect!!!”

The Dark Phoenix Ability seems a bit complicated to get down…

I haven’t been keeping up with MvC3 news at all, so maybe this is a silly question, but is everyone 100% sure you need 5 bars for DP mode? Is it possible that the number of bars she has left at the time of KO is proportional to how much she gets back?

DAMN!!!

And what is this Resurrection move? Her regen should only fill red life imo, but it puts red to max?

Cyclops is gonna be in her ending. Bet

Like this character alot. Interested in seeing her gameplay mechanics in full detail when in comes.

Brittle they say? Hmm all good for me. Gotta wait and see how she turns out.

Reminds me of Storm a bit.

Damn, just looks-wise she’s awesome. DP mode is so pretty!

I have to constitutionally hate her, but I think I’ll have to also play the bitch ‘on the sly’ >>

Edit: And yeah, that was my thought too, she looks a LOT like Storm, just the way she moves and stuff.

But really, MvC was more fair in representing other MU series.

Besides, Wolverine and Spider-Man count as Avengers too, so there are alot of Avengers too.

I would have liked some Thunderbolts, But i’m cool with what we got.

Someone done stole all of Storm’s speed.
She REALLY looks hella fun to play. Problem is…what kind of team to put her on…

something with a good battery (probably morrigan or ammy charge assists), it looks like healing field is ognna be key to her, and doubly key during DP mode, since I suspect she’ll need it always active to cancel out the health decay.

I think people are right tho’, until/unless someone thinks up something cool and broken with it, DP mode is ognna be more of a cute bonus than something useful.

Theoretical battery teams:

Felicia / MODOK / Phoenix
-Felicia hides behind MODOK shield assist to charge meter for Phoenix’s later use.

Phoenix / MODOK / Morrigan (or Ammy)
-Phoenix hides behind MODOK shield assist, and the Morrigan (or Ammy) assist feeds her meter.

I still really dislike the idea of giving up a valuable assist expressly for the purpose of meter gaining. Meter seems to build fast enough without it, especially if you utilize Air Exchange combos.

Anyway, the rumors I have heard say that Arthur is really really good at building meter while playing keepaway with his various projectiles, so I will likely be giving something like Arthur/Dormammu/Phoenix a try, especially if Phoenix has a good AA assist, allowing me to use Dorm’s black hole assist to supplement Arthur’s projectile pressure.

I wonder how you activate her resurrection in training mode

I don’t see all this meter building talk. Will dark phoenix really be absolutely necessary for her ? I’m not convinced

her offensive tools look strong as it is

Maybe healing would be. Like “every time she gets hit it hurts her boob” bad health

Absolutely necessary? Well, that remains to be seen, but probably not. However, it will, at the very least, be something worth keeping an eye on. In any event, having a lot of meter would be good for her for other reasons as well, so it’s still worth talking about.
