Saw the first few episodes during a marathon the other day. Didn’t like it too much. eh I’m moving on
On the other hand. The Ultimate Spider-man animated series team is looking VERY promising!
Dini, Bendis, Casey, Kelly, and Rouleau
YAY BENDIS!
I’ll keep watching, if only to see an actually effective Thor on my TV screen…
As for USM…just saying if it doesn’t make it to SSM levels, it fails period.
I heard its going to have the same kind of pacing/style as Batman: Brave and the Bold, in which every episode Spidey teams up with a new character to take down the badguy of the week.
That doesn’t sound too terrible. Although, Spidey has such a robust story of his own, hope they give it some sort of a balance.
so the overall concensus is that Spidey is maybe a little better than he was mvc2? no matter what i still want him on my main team lol aside from the adjustment to web swing i do not see him improved over his mvc2 version
A LOT better. Web zip looks like an amazingly versatile and dangerous move. He actually has mobility and speed now. Not to mention he can combo off of Web Swing and special cancel into Maximum Spider. Those are some big buffs and if you factor in the lack of ‘Big 4’ shenanigans with ROM infinites and God-like Sent zoning his chances of ending up useful look decent. However, it’s early days so we’ll have to wait to see how he shapes up.
If Spider-Man can hit the opponent out of the web after magic series xx light web ball consistently, he’ll definitely be a lot scarier in this game. I played Spider-Man plenty in MvC2, and he could dash under/fake cross-up the opponent in MvC2 after the same scenario, but the hits after lp web ball weren’t always guaranteed.
Not to add that if web sling gives some sort of frame advantage, you can keep the pressure going with an assist and ground chains even if he does block the dash under/fake cross-up.
Theory fighting at its best, lol.
special cancel into maximus spider? .too sweet. i cant wait to get see what web swing can really do. i’m liking the buffs.
ya it does seem like he can apply alot more pressure. no matter though. im gonna find some combination that makes him useful on my main team.
spider sting looks unchanged though
Eh, I dunno. That’s kind of a long shot. I have yet to pick up the new series, but from what I’ve heard it’ll make no sense unless you’ve read Maximum Carnage, and I bet the avenage casual fan or newcomer wouldn’t understand how or why their precious Carnage is now a female.
X23 makes sense, kinda, but femme-Carnage full out replacing Venom? I don’t know…
Maximum Carnage was terrible. T.T
Oh please, you just don’t want Venom in. And I know why…
I’m tempted to start another bet just to make you eat those words.
Not at all. I really think Maximum Carnage was awful.
Lol.
Wait, are you talking about the comic arc or the videogame?
Comic arc, why? Were you talking about the game?
No, I was also talking about the comic, it’s just… damn. I’m beginning to think I have bad taste in comics or something, because I didn’t think Maximum Carnage was that bad.
Lol, oh god no, I find the comic series to be ghastly. (Mitsu accent bait)
You gotta admit though, Carnage’s design is just astonishingly detailed and sinister. He really is the definitive super powered serial killer. Some find him simplistic, I find him pure; a monstrous force-a-nature! He also quotes Arnie and has one of the coolest covers of all time.
Oh no, I totally think he has an amazing design (and that cover art is badass), but the story is just awful, imo. And I have to like Kasady because hes one of the few redheaded characters out there in the world (we need some representatives!).
