Not a Rogue fan but any of those other Marvel picks would be very nice
I know that but having to level him up to that point, ONLY to literally be degraded to something worse afterwards is total overkill.
Again, I’m not talking about Arthur vs Mags in a match, I’m talking about Arthur vs Mags in keepaway ability / potential.
When you said random disruptor I thought that as being literally random, as in ‘why would you do a disruptor there / at that point’ random. I don’t really see jab disruptor being all that random when done from full screen as 99% of the time it is being used for zoning.
The trouble with Arhtuer isn’t Gold Armor. Gold Armor should be left as is imo (unless they change some of the properties) because one of the coolest (speaking noncompetitive here for a moment) things about the design of this game was it’s ability to bring over characters like Viewtiful Joe, Haggar, Dante, and Arthur and retain them in their original form. I’m not saying don’t buff Arthur or some element of his Gold Armor, just do so in a way that doesn’t his form. Arthuer’s got bigger problems than Gold Armor that need to be addressed first anyway.
I don’t think Arthur is that bad but there are too many better “value” options. Doom has on par zoning with higher mobility and health. I would argue that Task is also probably a better option with above average health and hard-hitting projectiles. Once Arthur goes into Golden Armor State, then he’s pretty hard to deal with, but it seems like having to spend 1 bar for someone to be good (and then 2 bars after that) to get him back to “good” status is pretty harsh for a character with poor health, especially when you consider that’s Dante, Zero and Magus health land who are all good without any buffs. However, from the SRK hyper guide:
“The lances can combo from full screen and only take about 4 for a dead character [in XF3 and Golden Armor]”
That’s pretty terrifying to think of a self-juggling projectile in XF3 (and then Wesker kicks the door down and laughs at me).
Not that I believe it completely, but you also have to take into account the rush down versus zoning risk/reward profile. Rush down “seems” to have the advantage due to how much damage can be landed off of a single combo and it seems like most (not all but most) of the top tier characters (and high level play) are focused on getting in with mix-ups as opposed to staying away and using projectiles.
Relating to characters:
I always thought it would be kind of cool to see some Onimusha characters (maybe the original Samanosuke Akechi) in MvC3 seeing as how that series doesn’t really get that much love and has some fun characters…Or maybe Killer7 or Power Stone? I’m always up for more series diversity.
Seems like most people want mostly x-men characters to be added, perhaps capcom versus x-men then? We already have 6 x-men characters…
I think I would prefer to see Vile as opposed to Sigma added because do we really need another sword (going off of the original Mega Man X) wielding pixie robot?
… Why… just fucking why…
Just to add to the speculation - a Frank West expansion for Dead Rising 2 dated for October.
Too much for me to handle. Also, hopefully SMVC3 new intro is atleast this good (and I am not even to anime):
Wha… what? (No there is nothing wrong with Vile)
Sigma Viral rant activated
Have you played another Megaman X game after the first one (or Maverick Hunter X)?
Sigma has so many incarnations… I would imagine him more like a keepaway or trap character.
(I even conjured up a fanboy movelist for Sigma way back)
Look at this, he has enough stuff to make him something different, making him just a Zero clone would be so lackluster:

And not to mention the glory anti Dark Phoenix tech that could be; Sigma Virus mode

*Viral rant deactivated… as long as your antivirusware can take it :lol: *
Knowing Capcom if they put Sigma in the game they’d use his X2 incarnation, when he had Wolverine claws, and make an exact robo-clone of Wolverine just for the lulz. “UNACCEPTABOT” “So long bub, VIRAL CLAW!”
No way, if Sigma’s going to be in the game he’s got to be an oversized robot to rival Sentinel.
If this is being made, we know Thanos is going to be in the game. He’s the villain of the Avengers movie for pete sake. I just hope he gets a revamp. I HATE the way Thanos plays in the former series. The style Capcom gave him is just so unlike Thanos in everyway. It’s quite possibly the worst translation from Comic to fighting game I’ve ever seen. If there’s one fighter from the MvC series that needs to be completely retooled, it’s Thanos. When you stop and think about the possibilities he has as a character, the options appear limitless. He could turn on his rings and be a rushdown version of Dorm but not charge based, instead a whole list of specials based on which ring was turned on. I’d be really excited to see Thanos truly brought into character in some manner.
He would also fit the roster quite well, giving a counter balance to Akuma. Both are warriors that enjoy fights and hold themself back to fully enjoy the thrill.
Jessica Jones is another possible pick we might see but no where near as likely. She has a TV series currently in production, and Alias was perhaps the best thing Marvel put out in the 00s. She also stands as a wonderful counterpoint to C. Viper. Jessica Jones isn’t the most amazing super hero. She can fly, she’s got some super strength, and some good resistance. Jessica Jones is also a mother, but a mother with a husband. Jessica also servers as an alternative to all fetishes shown off thus far, her only sexual feature being a home maker (and a white girl who sleeps with black men). No big boobs here, just a woman who was a makeship super hero. Much like C. Viper, she’d resort to things outside herself to fight, objects that helped her in her detective work. This one is probably the least likely out of all that I listed, but still has a chance so I might as well list.
We might also get the villain in the Captain America movie, which would be kind of cool, though I don’t know enough about him to say what he could add.
On the Capcom side, Frank West seems an obvious addition.
There’s also Red Armer, who I think is almost guaranteed.
And since the original Marvel Versus Capcom 3 roster had it’s share of casual troll moments, I can’t help but bring up another possible troll moment: Sissel from Ghost Trick. Oh my, the rage that would be had over no Phoenix but this guy getting in. In all honesty though, he’d likely make a far more interesting character and would remain true to his game.
I also think it’s likely we’ll see side scrolling stages. The background of the hand stage looks to be a well constructed setup for a beat-em-up game, and with the Arthur stage already made in full to be just that, I can’t help but think the updated version will have this.
Of course, most of this assumes we’ll be seeing an update as big as SFIV to SSFIV, when it’s more than likely all we’ll receive is a SSFIVAE like update, but time will tell.
Magneto is not better than Arthur in straight keepaway; while he has a faster horizontal attack, his options for attacking below (magnetic blast) and above (hyper grav) are a LOT worse. I mean, apples to apples: Arthur has a tough time keeping out anti-keepaway rushdown characters, but Magneto attempting to do so is far worse.
But at the end of the day, Magneto doesn’t have to rely on solely keepaway, so he’s fine.
It’s “random” in the same sense that throwing out an uncomboed Inferno->HoD with Blackheart is “random.” You are not doing it on reaction, or to punish; you’re throwing it out hoping that it will hit.
I don’t mean that as an insult; random fullscreen EMD is a good move, and hinders your opponent’s attempts to get their offense started.
Personally, I’d like to see one of two changes made to Gold Armor:
- QCB+2ATK during Gold Armor reverts to silver armor for cost of 1 meter
or - QCB+2ATK during Gold Armor manually ends Gold Armor timer; this can be input at any time (like Gen PPP/KKK stance switch), after which your armor will break at the first available opportunity
Doesn’t matter what size he is, Sigma versus Sentinel is a 10-0 matchup. SIGMA VIRUS, LETS GO
But seriously, I would prefer to see the classic regular sized Sigma just running around fast as shit cutting people up with laser weapons without giving a fuck.
It would be pretty cool if his level 3 had him turn into one of his huge incarnations over the series for mega damage though.
But maybe they could make him Sentinel sized and be awesome. Who knows.
I also think this is a pretty obvious fan request, but really hope that if he’s in that they don’t use his new fat 70’s pornstar look like in the new Dead Rising 2: OTR.
Why do you want gold armor to end ? Just curious I need insight on arthur mechanics.

I don’t play Arthur, but I’m assuming it’s so you can have better control over when the armor will break, rather then the armor arbitrarily breaking at the most inopportune of times.
I assume he wants a way to manually terminate the move early so that he doesn’t have to deal with the forced armor break at the end of it. Something along those lines.
Niitsuma’s also going to EVO, right?
LOL @ Lupinko. Such a tease…I dunno which of these are more accurate to describe what he’s doin’ to us:
or
Saotome2u’s avatar reminded me that if Capcom wants me to throw them my wallet, they need to bring back Jin.
You don’t mess with someone who explodes their clothes off at you, ever.
