And now I get really sad i have no GGPO access at Job Corp
Iām bored, plus Iām not sure if Iāll find time to make another video anytime soon.
So here we go with some CONS:
- Magneto is not going to be the magneto we all know. He can only dash in flight mode (which is extremely hard to combo into).
- Thereās no push block in this gameā¦NONE WHATSOEVER.
- Infinites are definitely a big factor. Thereās no escaping it. If the RIGHT person touches you with the WRONG character, you die. Infinite, dizzy, infinite, death.
- This is NOT a scrub friendly gameā¦the reason I say itās a con is because it might not have a huge following if people actually have to learn the game.
- Spider-Man can not air dash.
Some PROS:
- You can combo throws.
- Thereās damage scaling, but no hit stun. As long as you can keep it up, your combo can go on forever.
- Unlike the rest of the vs series, thereās no assistā¦this gives you fair one on one action (with the exception of gems)
Wierd/Random info:
- To make up for magnetoās unmagnetoness, he has a weird but practical flight glitch (which raises his meter exponentially). Once in flight mode, hold up and mash all three punch buttons simultaneously. Basically, airdash upwards as fast and as much as you can.
- If you want to break Flying Screen, learn your characterās Flying Screen Deterioration (FSD)ā¦itās mostly air throws or tripping them out of the air.
- There is an unfly system in the gameā¦(only Iron Man benefits from it though)
- Not all characters are heavy combo charactersā¦meaning, one powerful 3-6hit combo should suffice. e.gā¦hp xx L juggernaut punch is equivalent to a 15-25hit combo from wolvie.
The funny thing about infinites in this game, is that thereās enough of them that itās a problem, but not enough of them that you can just play āno infā like XvS.
To the proās of the game, Iād also add that the game has some really cool character variety. Which makes up for the relatively small cast.
Also anyone wanna ggpo? Otherwise imma play some lbp2/pso2/p4a
Iāll play ggpo whenever you want.
Hereās my opinion on a tier list:
S TIER: Thanos
TOP TIER: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron-man, Captain America, Anita
MIDDLE TIER: Psylocke, Juggernaut, Dr. Doom, Hulk, Magneto
LOW TIER: Shuma Gorath, BlackHeart
I think I know why, but why Blackheart so low?
I always thought the tier list was more like
BAN:
Thanos, Anita
S:
Spider Man
A:
Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man, Shuma Gorath
B:
Magneto, Hulk, Blackheart, Juggernaut
C:
Psylocke, Dr. Doom
Though Iām sure this view point is old as hell and possibly out dated.
GEMS BOOST LIST:
TIME- increases speed****
SPACE- enhances armorā¦must be hit twice to be launched****
POWER- enhances strength
SOUL- rejuvenates health
REALITY- allows you to access projectile orbs and spikes with different buttons
MIND- rejuvenates super meter
Besides itās natural uses, some gems give certain characters special powers.
Spider-man: POWER GEM (develops a clone that mirrors spidey)
Juggernaut: SPACE GEM (gets ultra super duper armor)
Magneto: SPACE GEM (gains a force field)
Ironman: SOUL GEM (shocks you with ever hit)
Wolverine: POWER GEM (develops a couple clones that mirror him)
Psylocke: POWER GEM (develops a couple clones that mirror her)
Shuma Gorath: TIME GEM (freezes you when hit with fierceā¦I think)
Blackheart: REALITY GEM (turns invisible)
Hulk: TIME GEM (light attacks triple)
Captain America: POWER GEM (develops a couple clones that mirror him)
I based the tier list on MY OPINIONā¦my word is NOT bondā¦this is just what I THINK it is.
I put blackheart low on my list because he is not mobile, he has no midscreen combos and can only build one bar at a timeā¦so the mind gem is useless to him.
Thatās my only reason.
I might try and get back into the game, I left it being totally frustrated with fighting wolverine and Ironman.
gonna try and main juggs and magneto simply for the space gem effects
If you want to play online on ggpo, Iāll play you.
I main wolvie, spidey, mags, juggy, ironman and psylocke.
real tier list:
top:
spidey
cap
shuma
wolverine
high mid:
blackheart
juggernaut
iron man
mid:
magneto
hulk
psylocke
lolā¦ok.

the tier list i put up is based on this:
I laughed because you shot down my 2012 based opinion, to put up a 1999 fact that you think is still correct. Itās cool thoughā¦thank you for putting that there.
All I can hacking wise in this game never ever give Captain America flight mode.

You have been warned.
Just for the sake of discussion and learning, why do you have Shuma at bottom? I always thought he was pretty good.
Also Anita as A tier. I donāt know the match up myself, but Iāv heard horror stories about her and her super.
Anita is unfinished character never meant for play.
seeing how the game is more or less untouched since 2 decades ago, that list that spider-dan put up is still the most accurate one Iāve seen. If you continue reading where that post left off, there are explanations going on to 3 pages.
I really like to hear your reasons why Shuma is so low. I can understand why you would rank IM is ranked so high though and its reasonable enough.
You BH ranking, I disagree and heres my reasons.
Although he has a crappy ground dash, he has a really good air dash. In fact, hes one the only 3 characters with the ability to air dash (excluding boss characters).
His midscreen combos are garbage/nonexistent because he has some of the best normals/pokes in the game.
-standing lk, jumping lk beats almost everything and last time i checked, it reached 1/4 of the screen, possibly more.
-jumping mp has crazy reach and i dont think you can beat its hitbox since he shoots a lightning beam from his hands. think of it like iron mans jumping h, but much faster.
-jumping lp, standing lp, jumping mk and standing mk, i donāt have much to say except they are fast and have good priority.
-jumping hp and jumping hk are your zoning tools. use that in conjunctions with his other normals, you can shutdown and out lame a lot of characters.
having one meter is not too big of a deal since his supers arenāt that great. Youāre more likely gonna spend the meter alpha countering with BH than using it on supers.
Yeah, I know Anita is like that. I was just under the impression that sheās ban worthy.
It should also be mentioned that J.mk not only has amazing priority, reach, and recovery, but itās also an option select for his air throw.
The thing that troubles me about Blackheart, is that while he can zone, I have no idea what heās supposed to do when the time comes to be on the offense. His mix ups are pretty basic, and he has no chip damage for long term pressure. So an opponent simply turtling and running away with a health advantage seems like it could really shut down his game plan.
