ok so i was wondering what are some good strategies for getting in and applying pressure? my assist is trish and wesker
Apply pressure starting from long range with Trish’s projectile assist and Web Ball. If you think they’re going to be open at one point, try throwing out a random Web Throw along with it, once you get used to using it at a mid-long range. When you feel the need to rush in, call Trish’s assist safely and jump dash in with j.:h: or j.:s:, or Web zip in the :uf: direction when grounded or :df: direction while AIRBORNE (HAH, GET IT??? :B) with j.H.
Also, you can do what the MvC3 Guide says and throw a :l: Web Ball from full-screen, and wavedash behind it. It is EXTREMELY VALUABLE to hit a grounded opponent with a Web Ball when at about Mid range or so while you have a Low-Blocking assist (i.e. Wesker’s Gun Shot) because it allows you to time one of the scariest unblockable setups ever. So, although it’s safer to perform the unblockable when they are hit by it, there also may still be a large enough window for you to safely time an unblockable after a blocked Web Ball. This isn’t recommended as the opponent still has the Counter Assist option available in this situation.
Those are my 2 cents on how your team should run when Spidey’s on point. I wouldn’t completely believe everything I have stated above, but I’d suggest to at least try it all out on a friend/record it on player 2 and then try to stop each strategy.
been messing around with spidey lately and having a lot of fun. SJC vertical web throw is completely satisfying. Im having trouble linking web throw into maximum spider though, do you have to tiger knee it?
one more thing. Im using spidey on point with hidden missiles? good idea?
I have a vid up explaining web throw into maximum spider also who’s your third? its good for damage and other things but if your third isnt complimentary to both I would say go for another assist as spidey can still get great damage out solo before using his other assist
"Nova rules mid-screen, and his setup is similar to Firebrand in that a lot of his moves cause him to go (and stay) AIRBORNE.
I might be dropping Spider-man if they keep making all of these characters that suit my fancy. XDDDD Jk. I’ll just have 5634859085905 teams… And they’ll all be just like me:
FUCKING AIRBORNE
I take they revealed nova today? I’m at work I can’t check and can’t see the front page on tapatalk
Zro was here…
not our fault you have such a commonly used adjective for your handle ;p
Lol, I know. =P And they haven’t yet put footage of Nova up yet. =( Or Rocket Racoon, Phoenix Wright, or Iron Fist. I don’t care about them as much.
:lol: aight I was wondering what you were looking at
Zro was here…
I have a quick question that I don’t want to start a topic for.
When does Spider-man say “Whoopsies!” and “Do your job!”?
They’re in the sound effects gallery, but I’ve never heard them during the game.
i think whoopsie can happen when he one of his throws is teched
o.O I wanna explore this now.
totally went 0-2 at my first “local” mvc3 tournament. spidey/sent/taskmaster. in hindsight there were better teams I could have tried like spidey/task/doom and my friend urged me to go spidey/sent/x23 because it’s super gimmicky, but taskmaster won me like one game out of 5 total
rundown:
first round bye
second round vs ammy/zero/modok (WAT)
game one: i lose spiderman and sentinel, then kill three characters with xf3 taskmaster because i am pretty boss, apparently 20% of the time
game two: i hit a spiderman combo on amaterasu, she’s on her magic pixel at the end of my combo, and i MISS THE END OF THE COMBO WHICH IS JUST DASH - LAUNCH, which would have put me up 3 characters to zero-modok
game three: went pretty badly, got hit by amaterasu quite a few times.
third round vs deadpool/dormammu/chris
game one: i did alright this game, but lost. I dunno why, but I lost to anchor chris.
chris gets some good damage off of airthrows near the ground, which really punished my sentinel game, and i don’t remember what happened with my taskmaster
game two: i think the same general thing happened.
at one point during this set i basically could have killed dormammu but missed tk maximum spider from a web throw LOL. i still haven’t hit that in the past many games i’ve played spiderman consistently, whereas i was hitting it decently when i was actually in day to day practice.
also i feel like i should have gone doom because no one was really playing doom and even though drones are much better for approaching, i was mostly using task arrows anyway. unfortunately i think umvc3 will be out before my next marvel tournament in general, but it was a good learning experience
in hindsight, i probably should have gone with my wesker/doom/haggar team, but i went with character loyalty. either way, i need to get more casuals in before the tournament starts to get sort of accustomed to the tvs and to warm up. but yeah. learning experience etc.
kinda off topic but does anyone know when they will be doing spider-man’s costume breakdown? I really want to see the last costume that Spidey has. my guess is the 2099 spider-man.
They need to give him a costume like a black widow. Fucking black with a red hourglass. Shit would be siiiiick!!!
I was under the impression that Spidey and Felicia were slated to be up for this past Friday, but I guess that got pushed back due to the character reveals, (which I am totally cool with) instead. Costumes’ll probably be up either Monday or Friday, if that’s the case.
yeah i was expecting to see spidey’s costume yesterday but they never did the costume breakdown for Friday.
that would be pretty awesome but they already have two black ones so they would probably never do that. did his stealth suit get updated for ultimate? i heard that they changed it to have orange instead of green.
Yeah, that’s true. I think I’d actually prefer the black and orange over the black and green right now, even though it’d probably fuck with every color scheme that the rest of my team uses. XD I’d actually prefer black and gold (Saints Spidey would be freakin’ ridiculous), but the one alternate I’ve been hoping for is a Ben Reilly costume. Maybe they’ll add that one costume that’s in Edge of Time, since that came out like this past week or some shit and they’ll probably want to convince people to pick that game up sometime. (I’m not sure if that’s 2099 or not. shrugs)
yeah thats 2099 in there. they could do the new ultimate costume that the new spider-man wears but I’d prefer Ben Reilly. Ben Reilly is the one with the blue sweatshirt and the all white eyes right?
Yeah, the sleeveless blue hoodie. It’d be tight. Also, they might as well throw a Carnage alternate on there since they haven’t made him a playable character in ANY fighting game yet. >=\
