Clock played Viscant in loser’s finals to face Combofiend and won in a 3 out of 5. David, jchensor and the stream monsters went nuts when both guys had DP. so hype haha.
Niiice. Do you know of anywhere one can get results to this, find out teams used, etc? Just to keep on topic, did Viscant stick with his Wesker IM Phx? I’m assuming so. If Wesker was on so many teams last night, anyone’s Wesk particularly notable?
Im hitting a wall with Wesker sadly. After you get his mixup game down, he really doesn’t have much else to offer to keep me from really wanting to get better with him. Besides, I feel like it is so stinking easy to use Wesker to his 95% potential and getting him to that 100% is basically useless and better spent on trying to learn other characters. His level 3 XFC is so dumb… being able to kill someone with a cr. MHS, air MMHS is beyond incredibly stupid.
I can just tell he makes my overall gameplay somewhat lazy, sure I am always looking for mixups. But his mixups are pretty cruise control, normals are stupidly safe so no need to ever really hit confirm, and his gameplay just revolves around low risk/high reward.
I need to figure out some sort of niche with him to really keep my dedication for learning him going.
lol i don’t think wesker is going to peak anymore during the games lifespan. but hey nissan, we can always try to master his counters right?
Yea I really need to start using his counters more when Magneto gets in close. That way if it is going to be a 50/50 high low mix up, if I guess right, I will end up hitting him instead of just blocking and being in the same vulnerable position half a second later.
It just sort of sucks that you don’t really need to practice with him to be effective. I don’t mind his popularity, but every Wesker besides Viscants right now are sort of just blending in with one another.
My thoughts exactly (about wesker reaching max level). The only combos Wesker really needs are those that do around 600k, which is half health on max health characters… then mix them up. It’ll force low health characters to switch out and high health characters to stay in and get mindraped. It might be worthwhile to learn more damaging combos off air grabs though because 600k and a grab combo isn’t really enough to kill the Trons and She-hulks unless you DHC like twice, and the fact that people are starting to clock onto the air loop and just end up sitting there blocking or and pushblocking when you get in. The fact that Wesker has to go for a Mixup when a Magz/x/x team will technically kill you with one cr.l is pretty annoying.
yeah I feel like playing wesker becomes rewarding so quickly. I wanna be able to work in order to get those wins but with wesker, it’s really easy once you get the mixup game down. doesn’t really help that a lot of people hate on him for being a really good character lol. I’m gonna have viper on my alt team just so I can avoid feeling guilty using him haha
He’s just that kind of character. You know exactly what every Wesker is going to do, yet you still get rocked. He’s like Wolverine in that respect. They’re all essentially the same, and they’re all just as scary.
Though, you could always master Mustang Kick combos and incorporate his counter for maximum cool points, which is something that I need to do.
I’ve been playing Wesker lately, and I threw Dante on that team. I’m trying to learn the flashier Dante stuff, to make up for my ABCS Wesker.
Wesker and Wolvie will always be effective, though extremely braindead to play, effective none the less
Wesker and Wolverine are kind of like M. Bison and Balrog (respectively) by having a fairly simple tool set that is, none the less, extremely effective and deadly to 95% of the cast
so is anyone else having trouble with the wolverine matchup? every time I try hitting low short, I just eat a dive kick. go for the air loop reset, my buddy just mashes dive kick. midscreen and attempting to do the air loop, I get thrown off a dive kick option select. I dislike having to zone with a character like wesker with really good mixups, but so far that’s the safest way I can deal with him. pretty sure this matchup is 6-4 in logan’s favor, too.
Did you try using Tiger Uppercut or Rhino Charge on the dive kicks?
yup, I’ve used these to teach him not to mash out dive kicks too often when I have meter, but still… logan’s just like the twins in AE and rufus in that their dive kicks come out really fast, and unless you have gdlk reactions, throwing random counters is gonna be pretty unsafe.
Lol no. You can react pretty easily to a dive kick in this game. Rhino Charge is super useful against wolverine.
I must not be playing enough wolverines then or my reactions just suck, lol. I’ll keep that in mind the next time
Basically you wanna pay extra attention when he’s jumping.
Has anyone actually seen Wesker’s new sunglasses-related move in UMvC3? I am quite surprised people aren’t discussing him in UMvC3 when it looks like they messed a lot of things with him.
Wasn’t in the SDCC/Evo build, so no, no one has seen it yet. All that build did was lower his health.
So Im a brand new addition to the wesker army. Just wondering how y’all go about mounting your offense with wesker? General do’s and don’ts of the character and stuff that might not be immediately obvious to a newbie like myself. My team is wesker/storm/ammy in case you were wondering.
Never teleport w/o an assist to cover you, ports are easily punished on reaction.
When doing sj gun shot -> teleport stuff, alternate teleporting back/downwards. Don’t be predictable.
