Too soon to say, but personally I’d get rid of Tasky.
I want this to happen when taking pics of female characters

Frank sure does have a lot of moves. Who knows he may be one of those characters that have an infinite combo like TvC Frank West did. lol. Things I don’t like about Frank is the voice acting and the cheesy sounding theme song for him. Also, why the hell is Capcom recycling old stages just to make a black and white stage background for Arthur’s and Firebrand’s stage? That’s worst that half assing it. =/
You can almost bet LL.ND is gonna pick him up and wreck stuff with him. Did you see his Frank in TvC? Seriously scary.
I’m gonna work on my ass on making him and Wright work for me.
Frank had his camera assist in TvC, but the area in which it hit was much larger, and had lower hitstun. And didn’t OTG.
If he has that assist in this game…it will be amazing.
His air to ground slam that was in TvC also looks vastly improved. He recovers extremely fast from it and it ground bounces!
The knee drop you mean? It got nerfed too.
Stops all momentum. In TvC it didn’t stop horizontal, but it did stop vertical momentum. You could airdash with it and it would keep going, then dive cancel it when you landed. It was really safe and allowed awesome opportunities.
My thoughts on Frank.
I really enjoyed Frank in TvC and initially was disappointed that he’s changed so much. I miss the command shopping carts with wall bounce, I miss his beam super as well. However, the level up concept is interesting and I’m glad Capcom is doing more creative things with its roster. What will be interesting is if you can level up more than once in a combo without drinking. He seems like he has a strong arsenal of weapons. If he’s anything like TvC he will hit hard and have long combos which seems like he still has potential for. I like high health characters, the game needs more of them, and I’d imagine Frank will have 1 million, maybe even more. His rolling move has a lot of potential, and it seems like he can play point or assist if the camera really is otg and unblockable as an assist (it wasn’t in TvC). Having 3 level 1 supers that all have different utilities is also nice (OTR, invincible, and anti-air). Drinking seems gimmicky to be honest, and if it is the only way he can double level up, I will be very disappointing but perhaps you can tag out before you “get sick.”
Overall though, Frank seems like a strong addition to Marvel 3, an original character with multiple options that seems viable for point or assist. Defiantly seems like a character I will spend some serious time in the lab with and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
Okay, so he eventually gets access to an OTG kick, but can you actually follow up on it without assists? In his trailer he simply does it and doesn’t continue, maybe it’s possible that it isn’t even special cancelable.
Also, I can imagine of his strongest combos will be his shopping cart wall bounce, x-factor, and into the Servbot Slam.
Is Servbot Slam comboable?
That’s another good question. It was in TvC and was considered a blockable grab, but he’s so different now that it’s possible it’s now a fully fledged air grab.
Also, cannot wait to see his pre-fight dialogue with Nemesis!
Frank West = the return of roll super
haha j/k. he certainly looks interesting. not really sure who i’d pair him with yet. but he looks like an amusing character to hand out trolled beatdowns with. the invincibility on his supers looks promising. and i’m loving his normals. getting bigger buffs the more hits he does in combos is a great idea if thats the case. no level 3 though. no biggie. sure he can make up for it.
TBH, characters who can follow after an OTG without an assist or X-Factor is kind of broken. One of my mains is Tasky and I’m glad they took that away from him.
It does look like an air grab like Taking out the Trash. And to be honest I prefer it this way since it gives him more mixup options.
Now that I think if it, though, I wonder if he can combo into his Weapon Rush hyper after a OTG photo?
"SMILE!“
Nemmy just stares at him
"FANTASTIC!”
Frank is actually looks a lot more fun than I would have personally thought. But…Adam’s theme? They gave him Adam’s theme from DR1?! =/
All I know is I think I finally have my self a team in Marvel, and not just a team with Dante as the only character I play competitively! DANTE - VERGIL - FRANK WEST, TEAM BADASS confirmed!
the vast majority of characters have this now.
Like I said before, they probably chose Adam’s theme because of the techno feel and it’s probably the most marvel-like music in any Dead Rising game. If you hear it in his trailer it’s pretty much the same except sped up with a new beat here and there.
I also feel it’s because the chainsaws are Frank’s strongest weapons and because Adam is the most recognizable boss in Dead Rising.
That is true, and I know I’ll be using it with Strider. Horray I’m a hypocrite.
I’m kinda doubting it is, because we know it grabs now, and in this game nothing can grab and also combo (that we know of yet) the only grabs that can combo are not actually grabs, like Haggars air S throw thing.
Can’t wait to see all the new intros and win quotes.
Haha, I know that Spidey and Him will have a rival intro. When Spidey wins, hope he says "One for JJ!"
SKrull may also tell him that he should “stick to fighting zombies” like Chris, haha.
