Lol…the cycle of life continues…
Damn, all this damn snow. Guess I’m not gonna see anyone downtown at tilt this weekend.
Well looks like AE is NOT going to happen on consoles. I’m relieved to hear this personally; Honda got nerfed in AE pretty badly. This saves my butt. 
BTW Mario: Blanka balls are back
Oh come on, we know that Troll Ono at his finest. There’s going to be another SF4 announcement after SSF4:3DS drops and I remember Henry Cen dropping the first night they had AE at Chinatown Fair saying that Capcom told him that the AE content was coming around mid June. Trust me, Capcom will not pass up another chance to get 20.00 out of all of you for the AE upgrades (or downgrades… Rose went from bad in 4, to good in Super, back to bad in AE, maybe its back to Gouken for me???) and Yun / Yang / E. Ryu / Oni… and everyone at Capcom knows you’ll pay for it and thank them.
They really shouldn’t make Blanka any worse so that’s good news but I was looking forward to trying the new Seth out.
I don’t even know how SF4 has a solid fan base. Which version do you even play? A little consistency would be nice.
They probably aren’t concerned with that. I like how he said the game was purposefully unbalanced to drive competitive spirit which is illogical. All that is going to do is make more players play less of the cast like Marvel 2. I wonder if Capcom really had much to do with the actual development of SF4. If they had I would be surprised if it was successful. There might be an elf somewhere still playing Capcom Fighting Jam with a centaur.
Good matches last night Mario I think I’m getting better with my skrull and team but I still need to put in more wrk with him.Can any of you think of any other that wrk with him that I should try? Also I hate the fact I can’t see ya’ll play when were in the lobby; gotto make up the match in your mind lol.
Just give those tiny buffs to those lower character like… oh I dunno… Hakan? Oil Stacking and linking c.lp/lk to slide without CH.
I’m pretty sure that I read that oil stays on Hakan about twice as long as pre-AE. Don’t ask me where, though, because I’ve slept a few times since then. 
Yea, ggs. I learn something new everytime I play. I was doing things people hadn’t seen with Dorm which was surprising because I was doing just BnB combos with level 3 destructions. Got hype that I might be on to something just to get wrecked by a Hsien Ko, Dog, Dante team. Start off the round with Hsien ko and activate super armor. Swap her out for another and then you use her only as an assist for the whole match. Even if you are blocking, you get put in one long combos string because her super armor allows her to go through everything. Now I use here as an assist, lol but I don’t know what to do with her if the other characters don’t survive. I think Dark Phoenix might be more annoying than Sentinel.
Stick with Skrull but you might not be able to use the other characters you want because the team might not be compatible.
Dark Phoenix is like the ultimate last round in the chamber most of the time. D. Phoenix’s real strength isn’t when she’s out on the field (although level 3 x factor D. Phoenix is pretty ridiculous), but its when you have 5 meters and the threat is there. Phoenix is actually an incredibly strong character on her own. I never use her on point (to start a fight), but I’m not afraid to DHC into Phoenix Force and put her on the field even when I have to build two super meters to get back to a full 5 bars. Phoenix’s keep away game is pretty ridiculous between her fast teleports, flight, and homing projectiles, she can build up some meter really fast.
Hey guys, come play at my event in the next few weeks!! It’s always a good time, and if nothing else, the bars in town are pretty sick.

Shadow Mode. 3 teams. 3 OCVs. One Perfect. The conclusion? It’s a waste of time. Unless the shadows get a lot better (I mean a WHOLE LOT BETTER) I won’t be spending any money on them at all. 
As it is, it’s a complete joke. It’s just as stupid as the PC on Very Hard. I would of had two perfects if my assist hadn’t taken a hit at the end of the fight.
It looks like all it does is assure that the PC picks the developers characters. lol Maybe I’ll stand still and see if it does some signature combo or setup. :rolleyes:
Couple of questions gents
-
Does anyone here in the state have a hitbox, and if so, your thoughts?
-
Now that MvC3 has been out a lil while, who is everyone playing, and why?
As for myself, I’m still trying to find a layout that is comfortable for me. That old muscle memory is a pain to deal with. The fact that it still looks like MAHVEL to me doesn’t help. haha
I do have a team nailed down. Setups galore, but it still needs work.
Edit: Before I nail down a team, I really should play all the characters huh? Nevermind what I said.
i’ve been using pad… marvel 3 is just so easy… even on pad… i can play stick which i prefer in any other game… but my skill is really tied to the pad in marvel 3… so far i’m able to use Chun, X-23, Ammy, and Xavin pretty consinstently… but i’m in need of a character that fills the screen lasers or something… Jay’s Sentinel is killing me… it’s like you do all the work KO the first 2 characters then Sent comes in and is like “Okay kids stop hitting Wesker, fights over”
im looking into Viper, Magneto, Chris, and Morrigan… but none of them seem to really click with me…
Yo 3rd strikers i’m still upping the GFs from NTC’s doubles tourney… it’s gonna take a while cause the set is so very long… can you guys remind me of the team names and whatnot?
Yo I’ve already invited Marcus and Sesh and a couple people over to our place this Sunday for some gametime, i figure we could get a gathering in finally, drink some beer and order a pizza, or maybe cookout on the deck if it’s warm enough and the grill doesn’t put up a fight… everybody is welcome, i’m gonna put out a mass txt in a minute but this is for anyone who’s number i don’t have like Stu or Kyle… if you guys wanna come through just give me a call if you need directions… or just come by if you know where it is… we’d need a Ps2 if anyone wants to play 3S cause ours got lost in the NTC melee, and if someone brings a 3 console we already have 3 TVs… member… Sunday
Greg, probably eight of those 3s matches are casuals because we were waiting on Humbag during SSF4 and Marvel matches. The teams were Necro,Urien vs. Ken, Chun so if it’s not one of those characters then it was definitely casuals.
I can probably come by on Sunday for casuals. I can also take a look at the footage. I played Osirun on the mm station (Honda vs Blanka) FT5.
I haven’t 100% settled for a team but there are a few that I have been using primarily.
Wesker(gun)/Dante(jam session)/Dormammu(hole)
]
this was the first team I had more or less settled on. It seems solid and has pretty decent teamwork in my opinion.
Wesker is a good mobile point character that can work well without meter and build meter for the team. He can get OTG combos into level 3 super off of either assist when applicable, as well as teleport crossups. Wesker’s BnB combos can use aerial exchange into either character for a combo ending in a super for lots of damage, especially if it’s Dormammu
Dante is a good all-around character and can also work decently without meter, as he typically gains enough meter during a combo to cover the super he uses at the end, or he can just burn meter for devil trigger combos or level 3 supers for more damage. Jam session seems like a good assist for zoning characters like Dormammu
Dormammu makes great use of any meter the other two build for him and provides a solid zoning presence when applicable. He can also get OTG relaunch combos off of either of his team’s assists
Everyone can teleport so there are some shenanigans to be had and it might be hard for many teams to keep them out. The main weakness is probably the lack of a good assist that controls horizontal space which could force the team to be overly reliant on teleports and be a bit more predictable
I don’t really play it much now because I got tired of doing the Dante Combo all the time when he has a billion other moves. I feel like he was built for a game with less constricting rules than the MvC3 engine allows

Spoiler
Wesker(gun)/Doom(beam)/Dormammu(hole)
[spoiler=]this is my current main team and the one I used in the Cincinnati tournament last weekend. I don’t think it complements nearly as well as the first team but I have a lot more fun playing it. Doom is by far my favorite character to play in this game so any team I play pretty much has to have him in it
This team has bit less team chemistry since there is no good assist to cover Dormammu and he has to rely more on his flame trap, but Doom adds a stronger full-screen presence than Dante. Unfortunately there isn’t a good assist to cover Doom and help his rushdown potential, so this team is still subject to change. Dormammu just might be the weak link that needs replaced, because I’m definitely not getting rid of Doom. I might change the assist to Doom rocks but right now it doesn’t seem necessary
Tron(fire)/Hulk(gamma wave)/Doom(rocks)
The new Team Z as far as I’m concerned. It still probably has some issues with keepaway but it’s pretty fun. I tried substituting any number of other characters in for Hulk and they actually worked pretty well, but no one quite matched the silly damage output of DHC into the meteor super.
My phone number is 317 496 6212 for anyone who doesn’t have it
I havn’t found a set third for my team but I’m using Skrull and Hulk. But i’ve been still trying to work others in the team but dont know yet. Any advice guys,Mario said Dom so I’ll try him first.
