Marvel vs Capcom 3 - NEW Information ONLY thread. Read the 1st post or risk a ban

GamingUnion.net: This isn’t to say that it’s unbalanced, but there are always characters that reveal themselves over time to be a little stronger than the rest. For example, somebody like Sagat. Has anyone separated themselves from the pack in MvC3?

Seth Killian: So far, in this game it’s been a matter of who’s most finished, other than straight character dominance. Dante [from Devil May Cry] is the most finished, right now. And he’s probably the strongest, certainly at the introductory level. Also, he’s abetted by the fact that right now he has more special moves than any character in Capcom fighting history.

He’s not like Ryu, for example, with whom you can throw a fast fireball, a medium fireball or a slow fireball. Each of Dante’s moves are all radically different. So in one, homing missiles shoot out of his sword and in another a giant sphere of energy charges up around him. They’re not small variations, they’re totally different. So he’s got a lot of answers.

But right now, pound for pound, my money is on Trish [also from Devil May Cry]. She’s just got a lot of nasty tricks and traps. So that’s what it comes down to for me.

Ultimately, it’s about controlling the space on the screen and limiting your opponent’s options and shutting it down. She’s really good at that. You feel really trapped against a good Trish player, it’s like playing against a really good Dhalsim, where he seems weak, but when you come up against a someone who really knows his way around him, you don’t know what to do at all. This guy’s got me completely.

GamingUnion.net: Going back to Marvel Vs Capcom 3, I’ve got to say I prefer the character models to Street Fighter IV’s.

SK: Yeah.They have a flatter look, in some ways. It’s a bit less stylised in one way, but it’s definitely more comic-booky. It fits with this game and is also a throwback to that older Street Fighter style.

Seth then hits me with an impressive combo.

GamingUnion.net: Ouch. How do you guard against infinite combo loops?

Seth Killian: With Marvel v Capcom 3 we have a few built in fail-safes. So one is something called damage scaling, it does less and less damage with every hit.

But there is also other stuff that we’re experimenting with - it starts to get pretty arcane. So something like hit stun decay. Which is to say, normally if I walk up to you and do a fierce punch it does x amount of damage and x amount of stun and you recoil in the same frames, but there’s one system we’re playing around with - which is not final at all - where the longer a combo goes on, the less stun any of those hits do.

So basically, the way you reel after getting hit with a fierce punch, you start to reel less and less. So the same loop is possible for a few times, but then it starts to degenerate. Eventually, you run out of options.

El Fuerte has an infinite loop in Street Fighter IV. But we actually left that in on purpose. We didn’t know about it when the game shipped, but we left it in for Super Street Fighter IV.

At the beginning, people were like, ‘Oh, this has ruined the game.’ but we felt that El Fuerte could do with some additional tools, he not the strongest character in the game. So even though it’s an infinite loop, it’s not the end of the day in terms of balance.

But with Marvel v Capcom 3, even if you find a loop, because you have three characters in your team, the worst thing that happens is your current guy dies and another comes in. I mean, this game is full of devastating combos - we are definitely trying to avoid it, and we have a few more tricks up our sleeve.

Although, saying that, the people that are usually able to do these things are people that play to a high level anyway. So they would probably beat you even if they weren’t doing it. [Laughs] It’s not like the ten year-old from down the street is going to pick that up on youtube and start beating you with it after being unable to win before.

Indeed, such was my merciless beating I’m not even sure I could defeat that 10 year old any more. We put the rather snazzy Madcat fight sticks down and continued our chat.

GamingUnion.net: So, what’s the deal with the online modes that the game is shipping with?

Seth Killian: There’s still a lot of back-and-forth internally about it, frankly. So, at a minimum you can expect your standard online modes where you can have a friendly match or a ranked match, as well as all your offline modes.

But set your expectations there and hopefully we can go in some fun new directions beyond that.

So more character(s) are gonna be revealed on or between September 16-17, the start of the Tokyo Game Show business personel, and September 18-19 for the public.

It appears from the match video that rolling from MvC2 is back. This was previously not in other builds IIRC.

Feel free to delete of course if this doesn’t qualify as news.
