I’m all for the move names appearing on screen again, since I miss that from MVC1. I’m not feeling the announcer shout though. Too many characters shout their own move names already. I’d rather have the announcer yell “HYPER COMO FINISH!!!” like in MVC1… You know what? Fuck it, just give the game MVC1’s effects/announcer and I’m good.
Who am I kidding, if they included MODOK as long as I can still here:
“MAX POWER! Hyper Psionic Blaster!” I’ll play him. Shit, I gotta get to one
of bums tournaments now just to get my cubes in.
Honestly, the whole Marvel vs Capcom: Let’s Show Some Respect Edition sounds garbage as hell to me. I only love this series so much because the tools that were given to me are strong enough to take my opponent completely out of the game after being hit just once. The game taught you to have a NO RESPECT mentality, now we’re all bowing our heads mid match and shit. I mean, to me, this is equivalent to doing something stupid like… removing Ryu’s Hadoken special move from Ryu.
I might avoid vanilla just so I can laugh when chocolate is announced and the main selling point is assist characters.
You can have “no respect” Marvel without assists. In fact the earliest games were all “no respect” Marvel without assists (and tag even for the first two).
He’d be utterly terrible unltess they gave him a proper low. Yeah, every Marvel was complete BS really once the games fleshed out. First hit, to infinite or 100% all day. Shit I remember doing Sabretooths Jumping Fierce, Roundhouse infinite like 4 months in and he sucked.
As long as the oki is really strong and incoming mixups still exist, this game will be plenty momentum based. I honestly don’t get why anyone would prefer MVC3’s style over a more neutral-heavy one. There’s some flawed logic in thinking whoever scores the first hit deserves to win the game…save that shit for Divekick.
It’s guaranteed to happen in Infinite too. For the record, I’m fine with the game being 2v2 (though I’d prefer 3v3, or at least 2v2 with assists), but let’s call this what it is: a way to simplify the game for new players, not an attempt at creating more “teamwork”.
Do you guys rather see an anti-TOD system, with adjustments to hitstun or whatever, or a combo breaker mechanic? I wouldn’t mind 3 combos being the minimum to kill the opponent.
I didn’t say you were wrong, merely the point about the games being disrepectful/rude stemmed from AKI saying about the lack of assists and D3vs reply of “You can have “no respect” Marvel without assists”.
To answer you question - Yes. I even played it once upon a time. You’re correct, assists weren’t the most broken/rude things in that game, most of the characters were already pretty broken, but they did have a huge effect on the gameplay.
I think that’s what a lot of people are getting at - The Marvel series has always been broken but the MvC side of it has had assists and it feels weird for them to change that and stick with the MvC name but I suppose it’s more marketable as MvC than a new IP.
To be honest, I’ve accepted that we’re not getting assists and I’m just hoping that there is a system in place that allows you to use your team in neutral and not just in combos.
