Welcome. The best place to play is TILT in the Circle Centre Mall downtown, 4th floor above the food court. Just make sure someone is planning to be there.
I’m sure everyone has read about the MvC3 1.02 patch…the game isn’t even a month and a half old, and we are already getting balance patches.
Sentinel went from 1.3mil to 850K health. That is a HUGE nerf. HUGE. He already had problems with half the cast, but now most of the cast can OHKO him, especially if he is an assist. Thanks CAPCOM. The robot didn’t deserve that kind of punishment.
Spencer had the move properties of his OTG grapple arm changed, removing his corner loop. Again, why? There are also reports of lvl 3 XFC changes…we have a ton of antiSent tech, and ways to deal with all of this. Sent was a problem from the outset, then we put our heads together and started beating him down. The nerf wasn’t needed.
Same thing for Spencer. One person wins a tournament with him, and he gets belabored over the head with the nerf bat. That is just insane. I wonder what else they changed. This cloak and dagger nonsense needs to stop. We need a change list now CAPCOM.
It’s bad enough the that the game got patched already…let alone the fact that they didn’t even tell us what’s been changed!
I think that I might be done with MvC 3. The game moves just a little too fast for my brain to follow and comprehend. I’m pretty much confined to ranked online play, where I’m currently sitting as a “4th Lord”, but starting to lose ground. I’m trying to get away from either Haggar or Sentinel, but I tend to find my way back to them once I start losing.
I think that I’ll fire up my SSFIV disc until the new MK hits.
From my testing I’m pretty sure Sentinel’s HP is at least 900,000. That’s still a pretty drastic change, I don’t know if it really needed to be that harsh (if anything was even needed at all).
I didn’t know about the spencer changes, I’ve been testing my current teams all morning to see if anything was different but so far nothing.
I’m okay with frequent balance changes to keep the game fresh but this seems way too early. Arc System Works updates their games maybe once a year and that’s about as often as I think it should ever be done unless you are a small doujin game developer tweaking your PC release or something to fix obvious problems.
If level 3 x-factor gets weakened I’m okay with it. It’s a pretty dumb mechanic in the first place. if they really want to keep it i would just make it level 1 damage all the time and have level 2 and 3 just increase the time like it currently does, but what do I know about competitive marvel
What does Capcom know about competitive Marvel? The depth in MvC2 was accidental I think. They couldn’t have known only a 10th of the cast would be viable at high level, character specific infinites, Cable 3 beam supers, etc.
It was a lazy nerf, just like alot of the 2nd ultras in SSF4 were a lazy attempt to add new content. All they had to do was nerf his damage a little and or take out x factor’s insane damage for all characters.
The more and more I think about I’m starting to agree w/ Sanford Kelly…[media=youtube]vDgsAef3-Pk"[/media]
All we can do as a community is keep playing and hopefully Capcom does not fuck w/ the game for awhile. I still say that this patch is about 6 months too early.
I saw that Sanford Kelly video awhile back. Pretty funny to say the least. I think SSF4 is a more viable game in terms competition but I have a lot more fun playing Marvel. X-Factor is the one glaring fault with the game. There should be a penalty for using it. It’s like everyone gets a free Genei Jin or an extended ultra with no repercussions.
I still haven’t got any feedback guys…take a few min and look at the Justin TV vid. I know it’s long…you don’t have to watch the whole thing…I need honest opinions.
I will have to try that. Hopefully my shitty internet won’t make it unplayable.
I changed my Hulk assist to anti-air and Doom to beam. Combo damage is slightly lower and execution is harder but I think it should be better for general team interaction
Hey guys is Mike(Dogworth) still posting on SRK. I wanted to talk with him about modding a PS2 for me, if thats even possible.
Anyway if anyone can let him know im trying to get at him I would appreciate it.
Well guys, I think that I’m done playing Marvel 3 Online…
Last night I played about 30 ranked matches in a row and the combination of the shitty net code, and not being able to see the other persons connection just made the game unplayable. I have good internet connection (17 Mbps Download Speed, 4 Mbps Upload Speed) and I cannot get a decent match in to save my life…I knew there was a reason that I really haven’t spent a lot of time playing online. The only way that I’m going to get decent at this game is to go to gatherings at Tilt and different sessions.
Out of all the matches played last night I prob got 4 to 5 “clean” connections…not to mention how long it takes to actually find a match (if your not setting in training / arcade mode) I think the reason that Capcom is pushing all this Arcade Mode content is that they know that there net code is sub par, and I personally think that it’s a cop out on there part.
I know that I’m crying like a little bitch, but until they fix / patch the netcode I for one will not be playing this game online…and for the ones who are having a blast online I envy you. Back to Super for online play until this shit is fixed. This SUX !
Your “crying” is justified, the netcode is absolutely balls. I have also stopped playing MvC3 online for that same reason. I’ll just stick to BB:CS if I want to play something online.
So been trying to go to TILT the last 2 weeks. Been calling and they are saying the machines are working. Drive 20min to get there and MvC3’s card slot to pay is not working. and the SSFIV cab has a USB port broken and pushed into the machine and it still says clean the disc.
Do the machines at this place ever work? lol
Anyone else know of a place with some arcade cabs, even Xbox style?
meh… they took all the UTE cabs back to get fixed last time i was there… they had marvel 3 working fine tho… we all played for a few hours… even Ray seems to think Bank is mvc3 jesus… he’s getting an even bigger head now… i was completely uneffected by marv3l patch… but im sorta against it… we definitely needed some more time to uh… ‘player balance’ it…
i still go on tuesdays and fridays and whatnot regardless… just for the people… make sure if it looks barren to check and see if we’re in the back… they let us get away with that sometimes…
well sorry i’ve been away for a while, working on the next T3 so keep up… you guys up for running 3 games this time around?
next tourney up is Powerup… til then keep in touch guys… aside from this weekend Kyle i’m down to go where ever when i’m bored
edit: just listened to that santhrax vid… and i gotta agree with everything he said minus the semi-sexist stuff… my opinion is now the same as his… no homo
Oh damn, you guys still doing Tuesday gatherings. I can probaly make these if my GFs car is up for the trip.
But does anyone have a word on ‘Dogworth’ is he still around, anyone have his number; looking at you Effenhoog.
I played a bit of the demo and I really don’t like it. I’m sure there are plenty of people that do but I am not one of them. There are some kind of cool things like blades sticking in people for the rest of the fight after you stab them but I could not get over the clunky feeling controls and one of my least favorite implementations of a block button ever.
It will be silly if Evo censors the fatalities but leaves in the xray supers, and even a lot of the grabs and specials are pretty violent.
I found a Tron/Hulk/Doom combo that does 1.1 million for 2 meters and builds 2.75 meters. The execution is pretty tough for it though, I can’t do it even remotely consistently yet (8 or 9 successful combos over a four hour period). There are so many assist combinations that work for this team, I need to figure out which configuration is ideal.
I sent you a text but I guess I have an incorrect/old number. I’ll just PM you on here then.
You really think that the graphics are terrible? Are we looking at the same game? LOL I know the game doesn’t blow your socks off when it comes to the graphics…but it looks as good, if not better than SSFIV. Maybe you just don’t like the art style. I would agree that MK9 is not for everyone, and that’s ok w/ me I for one am super hype for this game, looks hella fun. A great game to play casually and talk shit at the same time.
As for the controls, at first I was really put off by it…but if you hang in there and “adapt” (a term that fighting game players often throw around but hardly ever apply) you get used to the controls and then the game opens up a lot. You guys have to remember that the MK9 PS3 Demo is based on a very early build of the game, so don’t dismiss it just because of the demo. Wait until you really sit down w/ the retail build B4 you make your final decision.
I feel that all fighting games should get a chance…I really don’t like the art style of AH3 and SkullGirls but when they are finally released I plan to give them both a shot. It gives me a chance to get out of the Capcom vortex for a bit. Tekken Tag 2, MK9, AH3 and KOFXIII cannot come soon enough for me
Yeah… So have any of you guys tried playing GG online yet now that I’ve given you about a week? It’s very playable when you get a decent connection (much better than marvel 3). Only hard part is finding a match. I’ll be hanging out in Cbus irc (synirc #srk-ohio, it says ohio, but it’s mostly cbus peeps in there) when I’m looking for games.
I for one am super hype for this game, looks hella fun. A great game to play casually and talk shit at the same time.
