Marvel Super Heroes thread

The game has a glitch. If someone ragequits on you, it shows up like you left the match. So in other words, it doesn’t matter who quits. As long as the match ends early, both players gets punished.

Match I had earlier today

Much laughter was had at this.

Ranked Match is on Normal speed, no way to change it. It looks like Player Match is also on Normal… there’s no option to search by speed, and there’s no place to choose settings.

Additionally, in Player Match, you play whatever round settings the host has set, and there’s no way to search by rounds. For some reason, Player Match has an option for searching for/setting the number of games you play per match, but not the number of rounds. I don’t understand why.

Haven’t bought it yet, but that sounds unplayable. Wasn’t turbo the standard speed?

Also, I gotta say that despite all the infinites, I love how you can’t hit confirm off of everything into a TOD. The matches have a lot more ebb and flow than shit ass marvel 3.

[Spider-Dan]

Turbo is much better, but I wouldn’t say normal is unplayable.

However, Derek Neal (I think?) posted to my Capcom-Unity thread and mentioned that if the community support is there, he can have the online speed changed to Turbo.

If you’d like to see the speed settings changed, please let your opinion be known there.

I play a lot of MvC1, but with Origins out I’ve decided to dabble in MSH a bit. If I wanted to get started with Iron Man, what should I focus on? Is he better for rushdown or should I zone with him?

[wolverine-master]

Both. Zone to hit-confirm then unleash the beast. He can kill off one hit anywhere.

[Spider-Dan]

He’s better at rushdown. His zoning is not too great.

IM and Magneto essentially get infinite meter in this game, so you can also play for alpha counters. Just activate flymode and mash PPP as fast as you can (the upper limit is nearly 1 meter per second).

[Master_Amado]

Does anyone have any good macth vids with Shuma.

Actually, I just did it manually with my capture card. Sadly.

Good games, wolverine-master

My Shuma was still a little rusty but you can get the general idea.

I just got this game today. Awesome netcode, it looks so much better on the console and plays smoothly. Its default speed is normal online but you can adjust easily. If anyone wants to play just add DjMcDougal to ur xbl

^^^ Best Doctor Doom ONLINE.
Btw, I fixed the Juggernaut combo video above…I noticed it was out of tune.
Did anyone notice what I did with the last combo?

i just wanna say that shuma is godlike in this game and probably the best character in the game. its a shame that shuma gets progressively worse each game despite him having more tools.

why hes god like has mainly to do with the game engine.

• no pushblocking, in msh pushblock is absent, which means its much easier to tick throw, especially into his command grab and chaos dimension. shuma is a grappler.

-variable meter building. not all characters can stock 3 meters in msh which means that you don’t need 3 bars for the chaos dimension

-air movement. air movement in (u)mvc3 is severely gimped from its predecessors. in pre mvc3 games, shuma can sj forward/backward and still be able to steer left or right in the air. this is one of the reasons why his jumping mk is so good. you can make this move totally ambiguous since its one giant hitbox and it crosses up. it also option selects with his godlike throw.

-there is no set amount of health you can recover with his throw. every game shuma has been in post msh vs sf, he could only recover red life. in this game, shuma can practically recover all his lost life via his life drain grab.

-gems. combine the soul gem with his life drain grab, you’ll get back and absurd amount of life. and thats not even his best gem. his best gem paralyzes the opponent. he never got this move back post msh.

even though he takes good advantage of the engine, theres other non game engine related reasons why hes good.

-he has the best throw in the game, the life drain
[LIST]
[]its done with mk or hk
[]mk is also his launcher, so you can basically option select this move. launcher is pretty safe on block too.
[]it can be done in the air
[]j.mk is his best air to air move, so you can option select that
[]it recovers health (duh)
[]it can be comboed afterwards (doing it against psylocke and probably spiderman is a bit tricky, although in the corner its guaranteed)
[]the range is on crack. shuma probably has the best throw range in the game
[/LIST]
-mystic stare is actually good in this game.
[LIST]
[]it has no recovery, at least one of the versions,
[]does a lot of chip
[]all versions go full screen
[]the eyeballs do not latch on when it hits the opponent. the latch on mechanic was retarded.
[/LIST]
-chaos dimension. its probably the scariest super in the game.
[LIST]
[]its one meter
[]invincible startup
[]startup is safe on block
[]he has guaranteed followups after able to followup, which almost leaves the opponent dizzy.
[/LIST]
-good normals. they are not on spiderman or blackhearts level, but its still really good
[LIST]
[]as mentioned above, shuma copter (j.mk) hits on all sides, crosses up and option selects into throw
[]j.hk has good reach and good priority, although a tad slow.
[]c.mk goes under fireball and reaches more than a quarter screen
[*]lp, c.lp is one of the fastest jabs in the game.
[/LIST]

This times a million. In 95/96 I would regularly get 40/50 game win streaks with Shuma at SVGL and Cupertino Tilt (I am so old school, it embarrassing -LOL). This was just a few miles away from Capcom USA. Everybody played at these places.

In the corner you can get multiple life suck grabs after a CD from a ground launch aerial rave. Chicken blocking/ jump throw is too strong with him in this game. I promise you, it will beat just about any strategy.

I love this game, but If you play with a person who will exploit the broken pieces you will get bored really fast. Because it just becomes a jump block/ jump throw contest. Actually in fact, both players will get bored quickly.

If you play the game for the for easy fun, you can be a blast. But, If you try to play too seriously, you may see how it’s super broken and can be very boring.

I am not trying to troll with this point of view. But, I am only trying to be honest. I was there in the beggining, and somwhere at sime point we figured this out. I have followed the game for almost 20 years, and nothing has really changed much (other than some air dash tech). It prob will not be played long on XBL. Of the two games released, I feel MVC is marginally better. And think it will be played much much more over the long run.

Anyway, back to my point. Shuma is a monster. Ouro is straight money with his post and breakdown. A+

What exactly do you mean by jump block/jump throw contest?

I kinda agree. I think the game is pretty fun in casuals, but I don’t think it has a high enough skill ceiling to justify a large community or tournament scene. It’s more like something fun to play on break from Mvc2 or X-Men Vs Street Fighter.

Actually, I think the games greatest weakness is also it’s greatest strength; it’s simplicity. It just feels so pure. Even compared to the other Marvel games of the time.

Haha my dooms not that good but I wanna give him a shot. Always wanted to use doom in real matches for this game. His dash is kinda fucked but I still wanna mess around with him to see what he can pull off in a real match.
