Mid-Cities Thread (Midland-Odessa) Now with BarFights!

I wanna play some local guys and learn how to play MVC3. I suck ass at that game.

if you wanna get good at mvc3 then you should play me and kataridragon.
the thing is i don’t have xbl and katari doesn’t have internet at his place yet

Yeah, those guys are good at mashing :360::atk::atk::atk::atk:

=P Idk, I guess i just havent found my team yet. combined with sucking at the game makes for a bad time.

:frowning:

Wait Zangief isnt in MvC3…

Just practice.

What’s a link?

I’m posting today to spice up this thread and rant a little bit. Read this if you want, probably going to be pretty lolish. TL;DR: Marvel3 is BORING!!! YAAAH! Wish I knew how to make a spoiler box so this wouldn’t take up so much space. Anyway, enjoy.

I think I have figured it out… “It” being Marvel3…

Call me a scrub, a noob, whatev. It’s… It’s…

BORING! YAAAAHHH

I’ve played and I’ve played and I’ve played, and I’ve played again. I’ve enjoyed doing combos, but there was something missing from versus play. ITS FUCKING BORING. Fly around, jump around, run away, throw a random ass attack with an assist at the same time, go for an unblockable set up and then C-C-C-C-C-C-C-CHAIN COMBO!!! And fuck combo breakers. PSHAW! This game is so legit it doesn’t need em. Instead, you must watch as the other guy spends 20 IRL seconds (Which is like 3 seconds game time) beating up your character and killing it with 2 bars of meter, building 3 bars in the process. And don’t say it’s fun being the guy doing the combo. Shit isn’t hard. Only thing hard about it is memorizing 30 chain inputs and, GET THIS…WAITING! Waiting so you can actually land the combo right and get the right aerial spacing.

BORING! YAAAAAAAAHHH

I’ve watched videos, I’ve watched combo videos (Which are pretty cool) and I’ve watched streams. I’m watching the WNF stream right now and guess what? Bunch of bullshit flying around the screen with the same above-stated elephant circus act, except not as exciting. runawayrunaway assist runawayrunaway PROJECTILE runawayrunaway ASSIST AND ATTACK at the same time, hitting both sides of the other character, C-C-C-C-C-C-CHAIN COMBO!!! While I was watching, I’m in a room all by my little lonesome and I actually iterated the words “Oh shit, he hit him” without even knowing I said it. Oh wow, The announcer just apologized to the stream because the last match was boring to watch. Amazing

Say what you want to justify your fanboy dreams of MvC2, Hyping MvC3 up in any way you can muster. Say that the game is new and “Still in it’s infancy”. “Infancy” being an extremely annoying word, as your treating the game as an old English woman treats her 3 million dollar “Precious” painting from the renaissance that she paid 6M for. Say I don’t know what I’m talking about because I “Just don’t get It” Say it, it’s fine. It’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. Here’s mine: It’s

BORING!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

However, MK9 looks really good. 1st day buy cuz that’s how I roll.

Anyone need a copy of MvC3? $20… $10 if you catch me on a bad day lol.

me me me sell it to me

I’ll give it to you. I owe you a game anyway. This is perfect

I’ve been saying it all along. MvC3 = total fucking garbage.

MvC2 was a man’s game.

the game is still pretty young give it some time

For a video game, “young” in the modern sense doesn’t really mean the same thing as it used to. Thanks to the SeriesOfTubes, the game grows extremely rapidly, especially when speaking in terms of a characters solo abilities. Take Phoenix … she can spend years in the air, multiple projectiles, hard hitting, extremely low life… Yeah shes gonna fly away and shoot projetiles all match. “fun”. Because, honestly what are you gonna do about it (Save for Dante’s OP “YAAH I’m Always behind you” move)? Those projectiles TARGET the other character for christ’s sake. Sure one hit will kill her, but once she up in the air you’re done… and thats the end of it.

And x-factor sucks really bad… as in it’s too good. Not that I played it that much, but I felt pretty lame when I won purely because I got a lucky hit off while in x-factor.

People like David who like the game are gonna play it and enjoy it. People like myself are going to hate it and will continuously bang our heads against the wall trying to find the answer of “Why do ppl play this game”. (Kinda like playing ANY Smash Brothers game in a tournament setting. Why?.. Just… Why?)

I’ll tell you why people play this game.

IT’S MAHVEL BABY!

Which should probably have a huge “TM MvC2” tag after it.

Honestly can’t wait for a console release of KoFXIII so I can be supurbly raped by ppl with skill, rather than getting hit once and DHC’d 3 times. Yuck.

Here’s an idea. Maybe I hate being stuck in a combo for 15 seconds in Marvel more than any other game because I know they aren’t going to mess up? And if they do mess up its kinda like “really? wtf how did you miss that?” instead of “Yeah, that’s pretty hard to do”. Perhaps that mentality is what made SSF4 so good. Combos are pretty hard to do, which is why I want a console release for KOF13… theres links! IDK, I can’t really put a definate flaw on why I hate Marvel so much other than its fairly boring – even fairly boring to watch.

Hey Davidstar. Why doth thou play Marvel3 other than it’s fun? <–honest question no hate here.

MvC3 Sentinel DOES FAST FLIES FOR YOU! I tried so hard in high school to perfect hitting neutral + input for an MvC2 fast fly, and when I finally got to where I could nail it 100% of the time I felt so proud.

MvC3 is targeted at fanboys and those seeking instant gratification, tbh.

Hey Chairman!

Ur Rant are my thoughts exactly. MvC3 is hella boring. I agree.

I have the MK9 demo, and we played it at our weekly meetup today. I can say that most of us enjoyed it more than MvC3. I know I did.

tvc was kinda the same way with combos taking forever or extremely damaging especially with baroque but it did have megacrash

i like doing massive damage long combos and had i been introduced to mvc earlier in a competitive way i would’ve played them a lot as well
especially mvc1 i used to play it but didn’t really know what i was doing

i know mvc3 doesn’t require lots of skill but i enjoy it

can’t wait for kof13 either

Do you think you could teach me how to chain long combos like that? I wanna learn how to do loops like that.

yeah but first thing you need is a stick then you should go into the mission mode to get a feel for how the combo system works

in this link you can find information on the game its mechanics and basic character information
Marvel vs Capcom 3 - Shoryuken Wiki, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Strategy and More!

in here you can go a little more in depth and learn strategies for the character, bread and butter combos, and damaging combos
Marvel VS Capcom 3

if you have any questions about some of the games jargon such as tiger knee, buffer, or the notation that they use you can text me

you will also have to learn about mix up, cross overs, footsies, and zoning to play efficiently and effectively
me and ian and will teach you what we can :slight_smile: i dont think the guys on the forum would mind giving you info either

So doods,

Is the tourney on the 26th still a go?

Anymore info would be appreciated. Are you guys going to be using lag free monitors?

Thanks

it’s on the 25
