MvCI Meta and Tier Discussion

Also I’m beginning to think gamora isn’t going to be as good as I thought.

She seems to really struggle with other characters mobility and her projectiles only BN go down forward

Idk

In case you guys didn’t see the latest leak:

Spoiler

https://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/leak-630x450.jpg

Remember: huge sword normals/specials. Having that alone makes her good. The rest is just icing.

So that’s how burst works!

Zero/Gamora will be some some insane pressure. I really wish Ryce was right about the mind stone being a sougenmu.

He was banned from neogaf for interpreting a genuine leak wrong lol, the Sougenmu was Gamora’s hyper install and Gamora’s yellow ball was the mind stone. Shame.

they really banned him for that? thats so dumb.

Just watching the new matches I can tell this game is partially going to be shell based again like MvC3 except this time a character/stone shell, perhaps battery/main/stone. One look at Dormammu/Reality just made me think “oh shit!!!” On paper that has to be the best space control in the game, like I can’t think of a better combination. You just whiff cancel elements into specials, you’ve got the projectile flame, the ice, the lightning, but then you’ve got his pillars, the ball, the carpet, armageddon, like what part of the screen could Dormammu not control during Reality Storm?

I’m calling it now, Battery/Dormammu/Reality is gonna be high up there.

I’m gonna place a $20 bet, Ultron/Dormammu/Reality will be Fchamps main team.

It won’t be as scary because of the chip scaling I bet.

It will for zoning and running the clock, as long as you’ve got a good partner to tag into you can literally create mixups anywhere on screen. His space control might last long enough that even though there’s shut on screen, if it doesn’t touch you it’s going to reset the chip scaling anyway.

Just because he’s controlling space doesn’t mean that his attacks are actually going to touch you, giving empty space for chip scaling to reset its self. And if you’re going to purposely jump in and take all the block damage you’re taking a massive risk, only gold pushblock can help you, and I don’t think you’ll be able to reflect many of Dormammus attacks.

Still, not as scary. If chip was the same? He’d be my day 1. LOL!
Funny, I’m not excited for Jedah but him and Ultron look to fit my
preferred playstyle. Still going to attempt to rock Nemesis and maybe
Hulk/Haggar too since I’m also a Big Body guy.

I think Hulk has had less coverage than like every f’n body.

Like I said in the other thread, I see Zero, Dormammu, Arthur, Megaman X, Jedah, Gamora, Frank West and Ultron as early Top Tier candidates.

My early take:

Boss Level - Zero, X
Really Good - Jedah, Ultron, Ms Marvel
Good Enough- Nova, Morrigan, Chun Li

Then errybody else.

I hope for sake that Soul Stone isn’t broken, I don’t like the color orange. Playing as two characters will be crazy, but HP drain, ressurection and team duo is a bit too much for one Stone, ressurection yes but team duo? No, it’ll be fun but it’s no power stone is it? What happens if you use Soul Storm, ressurect your partner, build another Infinity stock, ressurect them again, etc, that sounds powerful enough without having both characters alive at the same time. I dunno, I think this is a little bit over the top. Got beef with X and Zero? Well worry not just play as them both at the same time lmao.

Just off the top of my head. Keep pressure on them and kill them fast enough so that even if they had soul storm ready to use they won’t be able to do anything with it.

Space Stone will wreck this stone if you can kill a character fast enough and use this on the next incoming character. edit: preventing them from using it entirely

Or just kill them both. Some where in the videos both of the characters got hit. Just a matter of who is doing the hitting. Like it has always been.

Guess soul stone doesn’t overheal though. Rip rip

Could get interesting. If someone is dual attacking the other person can counter switch and hit both characters.

The bad thing is they could be constantly whipping you keeping them selves alive meanwhile building their Infinity meter. That whip is ridiculous, not only is it an Infinity Surge but it’s also a poke. It’s like every character has a noodle and if it hits you it heals them. That could be bad for zoners like Ryu, if you’re trying to throw out a projectile but get frame trapped with the whip your projectile is just gonna be beat out.

Could some kind dude post some gifs of the whip so we can look at it properly?

I dont think the surge is that great at all, really. It has significant startup, does very little hitstun and steals minimal hp. It’s got some range, but that’s about it. I mean, the storm is ridiculous so Im not complaining, but yeah…that life steal is overrated imo.
