MVC3 system and mechanics

c001357 · May 9, 2010, 6:23am

from gameinformer:

“MVC3 aims to knock down the wall of complicated controls and open up the field of strategic fighting to all comers. This means fusing the accessible controls of TVC with tried and true MVC2 gameplay.”

-“3 on 3 tag team combat returns, complete with the assists and team building structure of the previous title. Veterans can look forward to alpha, beta, and hyper move cancels.”

-simplified = launchers are now universally done with one button, the EXCHANGE button. “That’s not all the exchange button can do; by pressing it along with certain directions, players can slam opponents into the ground, leaving them susceptible to combo continuation. Players can also hit the exchange button in midair to tag in other team members on the fly.” You can also counter their exchange move by guessing which exchange to hit at the same time, ala, throw countering in tekken."

Just ran across this on twitter. Anyone know how accurate this is?

Shucks.

They took “Baby’s First Fighting Game” and dumbed it down more…

Meh, for all we know, the testers are pulling of tri-jump shenanigans and assist traps using that 3 button scheme while we complain our assess off.

I’ll play MvC3 just worried about how this game will fare in the latter years

Huh, so if the Exchange is a multi-purpose launcher/Magic Series ender/TatsuCap tag button, then MvC3’s button setup is the bastard love child of BB and TvC.

I’m not sure how to feel about this, but I’ll reserve judgment until we get more info how all of the MvC2 staples fit into the new 4 button setup.
