To be fair, I think that was Capcom’s fault for the game not selling great. Selling a new version of the game a less than a year after the og came out is a little much for the average gamer. I think we can all agree Capcom should have took a little more time releasing the first version to avoid that whole situation.
With that being said, MvC is clearly one of the more popular fighting game series (and for damn good reason) and I feel that there is enough fans of the series to keep some kinda tabs or updates going. I do like the fact that there isnt a patch every other day to let the game grow, but acting like there arnt ANY broken things about the game is a bit arrogant. Very brief balance patches and maintenance upkeep can make this game a great as we all want it to believe.
New content wouldn’t hurt either, but should just push for patches first and support that first before we ask for more content. Progress is a slow process…
I agree with you, but I believe that Marvel wanted them to release it at the time they did, to go along with their schedule of Marvel related games. Ultimate was bound to face a troubled release, it seems.
Why it couldn’t have been downloadable, though, like I dearly expect this hypothetical patch to be? The clearest I heard was that it was “easier for them”.
I’d be down with Orbs back to Level 1…if X-Factor didn’t exist.
The only thing Strider needs is Legion to not have random formations. Give the player the control to use what Legion Formation they want, he’ll be fine. He has insane mixup potential and putting Strange or Vergil behind him (more reason for the Legion control), and his damage problem is dealt with. Simple and done.
Some of your hoped changes have good intentions…but are just bad with the way the system mechanics are now. The return of Vanilla Flame Carpet and Gustaff Fire…like seriously?
And I’ve mentioned this multiple times when the topic comes up but I’ll say it again, Jean with 750K Health is the best character in the game EASY.
Umm…yeah. Swords doesn’t even give Vergil a mixup because of auto-block. Meanwhile orbs is a walking mixup tool since he can delay the shots and has a retarded high/low/fuzzy guard game.
Strider with lvl1 orbs would be the best character in the game along with making Vergil obsolete (like what Magneto does to all the other tridash characters not named Viper)
If we somehow manage to get an update I just give me Gene. Or better yet just announce MvC4 so we can get rid of the shitty system mechanics in Marvel 3. XF and hitboxes need to be reworked across the board and TAC’s need to be removed.
But Swords does give Vergil a mixup. An insane mixup at that.
Theres no way a character that cant kill in xfactor with 3 meters has the ability to be the “best character in the game”
This sounds more like a flat out refusal to learn to deal with something so unheard of as…blocking. Orbs was a lvl 1, that was the whole point of running strider doom in mvc2. Nobody blocks so beign forced to do so is so mind blowing. Strider lvl 1 orbs would make you learn to block, pushblock and whiff punish accordingly.
The return of Strider/Doom-style lockdown tactics would be both awesome and extremely infuriating. Sure, you can pop X-Factor to negate chip damage, but Strider with lvl 1 Ouroboros can just open you up in so many different ways anyway.
Except he can, people are just too stupid with Strider to actually learn combos.
And you’re right, everyone needs tools. STRIDER HAS THEM ALREADY. People are too lazy on Anchor Vajra/XF3 Orbs to use them. I’m telling you again, all Strider needs is the ability to control his Legion formations.
And Dorm with Vanilla Flame Carpet + 1 Frame Liberations means it will be nigh impossible to have a clean hit on him without something interrupting.
Everyone does need tools but why are we looking at characters that already have proper tools? How about we give said tools to characters that actually need them? Like the Hsien-Ko buffs you went with. Those are the characters that should be helped out. The top don’t need more buffs (and they don’t really need nerfs either).
I was exaggerating. My point still remains that making Strider just as good as the people who are already good wont hurt anything. We can agree to disagree.
I guess so. It’s just you’re implying Strider isn’t good which I think is a ludicrous statement. Just because no one plays him on point doesn’t make him bad. Especially given how lazy the marvel 3 community is.
If Strider had a level one Ouroboros, he could control space for as long as he so chooses and you won’t be able to do anything without risking getting hit. I can’t even count how many times he could mix you up if he was able to do it just twice in a row.
This isn’t Marvel 2. We lost the satellites hitting while they rotate but we’ve gained a system where the rings can sprinkle the entire bottom screen safely without giving you the option to counter.
I thought that strider’s orbs work like vergil’s swords… while the opponent is in hitstun or blockstun… the satellites have a hitbox, but if the opponent is hitting strider, they lose their hitbox…
i wouldn’t mind if all characters with external objects… (i.e. swords and such) retained their hurtbox kof style… would be much eaiser to deal with half screen normals that way…

Strider needs some juice. Sorry to break it to the deluded Strider players who thinks he’s “good” he’s just decent, and on point with no meter, and lower than average health, he’s definitely just decent.
Any character sounds “decent” when you make that many dumb stipulations. He’s the best anchor in the game, he’s fine. He should only get a buff if XF gets toned down. Even then all he would need is a slight meter or damage buff.
