has like 3 times as many characters overall
yeah but gotta admit, Psylocke, Capcom, Tron, etc you DON’T want those people on point; they are pretty much used for assists. Its pretty rare you see many people go like, “Fuck yeah, lemme pick MSP or [insert Capcom/Tron/godly assist-based team here] and play Psylocke [or insert assist character here] on point”!
Usually when those characters are on point you want them switched out quickly as possible or something has gone wrong.
not remotely relevant
its kinda weird though
since anyone who bitches about this game being broken would get fucked up by any decent players mid/low tier teams.
Probably because they don’t waste their time getting good at broken games.

those are just players off the top of my head theres quite a few others who play or played low tiers while they still played marvel like vegita-x
low tiers on marvel are not unwinnably bad they just generally dont do anything that’s cooler than the top tiers
why would you play ryu when you can play psylocke who has a hadouken but better, and a shoryuken but better, a triple jump, and a teleport, and some other shit? she’s basically ryu but better. the issue is that most low tiers have a character that is top tier that does the same thing better. the game has a bunch of 8-2 matchups but i can’t think of very many unwinnable ones, the low tiers are also extremely broken by the standards of other fighting games, they’re kind of like the low tiers on ST in this respect. part of the problem is that with a game with billions of possible teams very people will come up with strats and combos for characters that are low tier, for example the chun li shom infinites were found as late as 2k7 iirc (and still then only about 2 players play her with any seriousness, Shin from Brazil and Risuno from Georgia… I know Risuno’s chun can hold her own with top tiers in the georgia tournaments pretty well). some of the top tiers have disadvantage matchups against low tiers, like arguably megaman has an advantage matchup on magneto (but mm has 2-8 disadvantage against cable, sentinel)…
at final round i saw a guy money matching people with hulk/juggernaut/colossus and rolling in cash
tldr: low tiers on marvel aren’t good, but they aren’t unusably bad.
edit: and being broken is a bad reason to not play a game. SF4 is extremely balanced (comparatively) yet its a lot less fun than ST or Marvel
or because they’re just hopping on the bandwagon, either or.
What’s the difference between unusably bad and never winning majors if you use these characters?
Bandwagon for what? Not playing bad games?
most of those people would never stand a chance of gettign to tournament level even if they tried so what difference does it make
of course, you can’t expect people to learn a game they don’t like unless it’s Street Fighter IV
I mean Marvel is popular but it’s not “holy shit we’re reviving a genre people thought was dead and oh my god brand recognition from the original 2d fighting game” popular
I don’t know. Ask the guy who thought people not being good at games they don’t enjoy is some sort of profound observation.
most people wouldn’t win majors with top tiers either though so that’s kind of irrelevant to most of us
i’m pretty sure someone of sanford or justin skill level could win a major if he uses low tiers
Is that Johnny Blaze or Danny Ketch?
This is very important.
yes that is a very old screen shot.
The game should have 10 player hook up so that all 10 players are playing 16 characters teams at once. and all the characters are on the screen at the same time! It’ll be the first game that requires there be over 300 color palettes for each character.
Screenshot looks nice but may be some Mugen Hybrid that should never see the face of the earth but you never know.
Uncle Scrooge + Magneto + akuma + dick cheney
They should also have battles where all the players work together to fight like 30 Abysses and 4 Onslaughts and they’ll win prizes for doing well
We’ll call them “instances”
Sounds good , very good , but lets try “50” , thats more reasonable u’know ?
