I don’t think that’s the issue. I have no problem watching the same strings over and over because the real fight is what happens between combos. In this sense Phoenix and Wolverine are actually a bit more exciting then Dante.
Also, no point playing different ways if one way works consistently. Never switch up if something treats you well!
In SSFIV I don’t remember people complaining about Akuma being top tier and he’s exactly like Dante in this game, he has a lot of options (Vortex). I think people enjoy watching creative play. How often do you hear the phrase brain-dead applied to Phoenix and Wolverine?
They did a good job reinventing Storm??? They essentially turned her into a poor man’s Magneto, they did a bloody awful job reinventing Storm. The amount of nerfs she got was sickening. They also turned Sentinel from one of the hardest characters to master in MvC2 into a n00b friendly scrub character, although I wouldn’t say that they have ruined Sentinel since there’s still some depth in him.
BTW, I can’t believe you guys will want Cyclops over Gambit. Cyclops would essentially be “OPTIC BLAST OPTIC BLAST OPTIC BLAST OPTIC BLAST OPTIC BLAST BEHOLD!!! OPTIC BLAST” while Gambit will be able to do more, especially if they let us throw his cards upwards and rain downwards. I want to see them let us turn him into New Sun Gambit and make him as overpowered as Dark Phoenix.
Jill is basically a new character, there’s nothing to reinvent there. No STARS, zombie assist, none of that.
Cyke and Gambit are equally good choices, but the people have spoken and Capcom have heard (bear in mind Marvel themselves were against Cyke). Gambit is more likely than Cyke.
I say give Wolverine back his healing super kekekekela.
Reintroduce Spiral (Fuck yah a capable Zoner!)
Cable Bitches!
Give me back Sabretooth (with super armor on bezerker claw and invincibility on his supers except Birdie.
plus his version of berzerker rage a level 3 that’s like Xfactor Level 3 powerup with Super Armor but no damage
boost)
Juggernaut (Fuck yah!)
Blade (more guns and knives I know, just give him ninja shit (Raven/Scorpion esque teleports, yah it’s non canon so is Wolverines glowing chest hairs) and lots of grapples)
people have been complaining about “wolverine” and “phoenix” needing patches… and others are against the possible damage and health nerfs they would get. All capcom needs to do is put strider in the game, and we now have a phoenix/wolvie nerf.
