This is true, but Wesker does have a few complicated set ups.
His resets can be a bit tricky, especially if you do them Viscant style. Also the BnBs people use for him are often way simplified. You could (without much improvement on damage or meter sadly) beef them up by doing cr.M H QCF+L df.H cr.M H QCF+M dash etc. etc. but those extra inputs can over complicate the combo I guess.
yea. her ability to dhc glitch is a plus too. but her other flaws such as tough execution for shit damage, she have a horrible time getting in even with assists…shit health. and her assists are fucking useless. her level 3 is a POS also. in fact, i think most of her hypers suck ass. the only good thing about machine gun spray is the invincibility frames ( to act as a semi-reversal i guess ). feel free correct me if i’m wrong though since i did give up jill after 2 days.
Oh no doubt. I was just implying that his basic stuff is effective as shit. He is really safe and no need to really hit confirm. Does decent damage for not much work, and his basic resets and mix ups are pretty cake.
I still lose to Weskers who don’t do anything too advanced, whereas I don’t lose to basic Dante’s/Ammy’s/Magnetos as much. Same as Wolverine, no matter how skilled the user is he should be respected because his gameplan is very basic yet effective at the same time.
You pretty much hit the head on the nail about her hypers. They’re useless outside of reversals and DHC Glitch. I do think she has some good combo potential though. She is a point character thick and through. With her bad assist and bad hypers she serves best as a point/battery.
Definitely. Wesker’s frames are too sick. His launcher is only -1 on block. As opposed to someone like Iron Man who is -13. Frame advantage I feel like is over looked in this game as the key to success for characters like Wesker and Wolvie. Wolverine is very simple but I can see the potential for some new technology with him (maybe). His strength is his ability to hit-confirm so easily.
I dont see Jill as anything but potential waiting to explode. Especially with good assists. You’ll most likely have to build the team around her like X23 but when you do she definitely has the potential in her mix up to just tear through teams.
Wesker’s launcher being negative one on block isn’t that big of a deal. It would be if half the cast’s launchers weren’t also negative one on block but it’s nothing special. It’s pretty disadvantageous to use Wesker’s S during a chain unless it hits because the pushback from the S moves you away from the opponent. Wesker’s S has no lower hit box either so it’s easily stuffed if used outside of a block string by any crouch normal. Wesker’s S is best used during an air tech reset so you can catch them pressing buttons trying to tech an air grab. Yet at the same time he has a lot of quicker safer options for that as well and when the level of play gets higher people are going to punish blocked S’s with guard cancel XFC’s and kill him off because S moves aren’t special or super cancellable.
Once Wesker throws out the S he has to commit to it and if it’s blocked he’s going to get guard cancelled on. Same thing is going to happen with Wolverine’s dive kick eventually. People are just going to blow their XF early just to get him out of the match because once he commits to it he can’t do anything else.
Yeah, many things are changing when the DHC Glitch is gone. Teams like Magneto/Wesker/Akuma will still be good but not as effective as before. (But it’s still pretty damn good team). I can see Storm dropping thanks to that, but not much (also the same with Mags).
I HATE Storm in this game. I think she is low tier honestly without the DHC glitch. Her combos are weak and awkward. Her most effective is a complicated series using her jump cancelable cr.H and it still blows. Just my opinion but she is near the bottom with out the glitch and Hail Storm is the only thing going for her without it honestly.
I passionately hate Storm players. Probably cause I missed out on a free copy of MvC3 at a gamestop from a Whirlwind spamming Storm that won the tournament. That shit works too good when you didn’t even play the game for 10 minutes.
Storm is not bad if I’ve been raging about her. Now that the DHC glitch is used a lot with Storm, I hate that character even more, and it sets up so easily for her it pisses me off.
Yeah Storm is decent but that’s about it. She has good screen control but Trish does most of what Storm can better. Trish can set up DHC glitch now too and her assist allows any character that can follow up the glitch to become a starter of the glitch. Even when that goes away she has a cancellable dive kick (who’s idea was that?), 5 frame rapid fire c.L with absurd range that’s plus 1 on block (at least wesker can’t rapid fire his 5 frame c.L), a great air dash and flight game, unblockables off her round harvest super, crazy chip off of the projectile super, traps that constantly force the opponent to second guess their movement and more that I’m sure I’m not immediately thinking of.
Storm has some good stuff but nothing comparable to that. DHC glitch is keeping her from mediocrity IMO.
No, I understand. She isn’t the BOTTOM. She does have some okay hit confirming abilities on her normals. The fact is she doesn’t really serve a great purpose outside the DHC Glitch and maybe some team hyper set ups.
The bottom to me is Arthur, Hsien-Ko, Captain America. Hsien-Ko did show some promise however at WNF when LLND uses her. I believe she only has potential when armor is up though. There are other characters I also think are really bad but get support because of gimmicks like Hulk, Skrull, Haggar, and Chun-Li.
