I was hype on Jedah alone, but i needed one of my old favorites so once Dante was on the rumored list my hype train was ready to take off. Strider was always a fun side character too.
I technically still don’t have half the characters I want, but I don’t let characters decide a game for me especially since Capcom does a good job of making some characters play completely different than what the used to. I’m already counting on MVCI Dante getting some radical changes.
I just hope Zero comes so I can make Jedah and Zero the cheapest team in Marvel/anime game history.
So what will his move list be?
[list]
[] Definitely has an airdash and flight
[] Dio=Sega will be the main projectile
[] Nero=Fatica is a hit grab, which is kind of odd for Marvel. Maybe they’ll turn it into a full command grab?
[] Ira=Spinta and Ira=Piano will probably just be made into air specials since he’ll already have flight
[] San=Passare is another candidate for Jedah’s command grab
[] Provia=Di=Servo is interesting because it creates a hand that travels along the ground, requiring another button press to grab the opponent.
[] Finale=Rosso is basically a ground-only version of Magneto’s Gravity Squeeze, but unblockable.
[] What’s not shown in this video are ES moves, or in Jedah’s case his ES projectile (Big Wheel). I think they’ll give it to him as a super.
[/list]
Jedah’s strength will be highly dependent on how reliable his partner can score knockdowns and lock down the opponent so he can do air dash mixups. He also might get his unblockable st.HK back.
I’ve mained him for years and have even been a trainin partner for dyne for a little bit where I accidently taught him some quirks with the character, but he required too much premetive play. He was like an SF5 character in Vsavv. he had a fast crouching jab but that was it. Every other move he had was 12f startup (standing MP) or 10 frame startup(standingMK) in a game where Bishamon and Felicia have fierce normals that start up in 8 frames or less. That had shit hurtboxes too. and his mixup game was weak because mashing jab stops most of it.
If Jedah is anything like that my body is entirely ready. When he beat the Anakaris guy the first match he said “fuck this I’ma pick Jedah too”. If Urien makes MVCI I’m going to play team CFJ.
That’s kind of why he was unique. He was basically a character in the wrong game so he became a giant to everyone else.
If they Marvelfy him the right way like they did with UMVC3 Morrigan, he’ll be a monster. If he goes the wrong way he could be Hsien Ko 2. His toolset is potentially too cheap if you do the right things so I’m looking forward to it.
Yeah I was thinking Ultron/Jedah would be a nice time as both characters are about putting shit on screen. I want 2 characters that can make the game feel like Marvel 3 again with assists holding people down. If the pushback is lessened compared to Marvel 3 that’ll make it even better.
In all honesty though I feel like Capcom is severly limiting itself when it comes to this game’s roster
If they are basing the Marvel side on the MCU, or currently popular Marvel properties in general (and by the looks of it they are) - then it’s really weird how, if the roster is indeed final and there’s no additions planned, they’re omitting a lot of other hot picks, such as:
Scarlet Witch (will be in Infinity War)
Black Panther (will be in Infinity War as well as his own movie)
The Vision (not sure how popualr he is among the Marvel fans)
War Machine (but I guess he’d be too similar to Iron Man, can always make him a skin)
Black Widow (they could literally just reuse Jill moveset from MVC3)
Luke Cage (had his own show + the Defenders)
Iron Fist (same as above)
Jessica Jones (same as above)
Daredevil (same as above)
Deadpool (getting a second movie next year)
The Punisher (is getting his own show this year)
then there’s also the Inhumans launching in 2018 and whatever other cinematic content Marvel has plans for
Honestly it feels like Marvel will use the game as a big advertisement platform for their movies and original TV shows/series, so expect the game to have a crapton of DLC in the coming months or even years
I wanted Firebrand back for tag shenanigans, Arthur because he would be fun with stones, and Nemesis because I mained him. I’m happy for their return, but I’m sad that the price was this smaller roster than expected, with even more returning characters from 3.
I guess I’ll have to wait for E3. If they show all the leaked characters, there’s a chance there will be more. Even then, if there’s more, the chance of those characters being more reused assets are high.
Fucking rollercoaster.
This setup actually stinks. Feels like they went the Moba route “hey, here’s some basic as fuck characters and we’re gonna put all the good shit behind a pay wall. Thanks for your money” Not this time breh, these motherfuckers think they slick.
The more I look at that mock-up (thank you for doing it, by the way), the more I’m torn.
On one hand, it’s really underwhelming and I can easily believe capcpom would be this stupid.
On the other, I have to hope they couldn’t be that stupid. Arthur OR Firebrand, not freaking both, not when other series deserve a rep too. Same with Nemesis AND Chris; pick one, let another franchise get some spotlight time in return.
It’s really sad. If you had any other company, well, almost any other company anyway… this leak list wouldn’t be plausible. That it’s something I can say “they might actually DO this…!” is a pretty strong indicator of how little faith I have.
