You heard right son! :p:
Yeah man, saw Duncan at evo. He’s doing that law school stuff, he’ll probably be back here at some point for whatever. Is NWM a pretty big tournament?
Excellent. Let me know where I need to be tomorrow.
Same here man, shoot me a text and I’ll be right there lol Also because my schedule works out well this week I’ll be open to doing a session Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday night. Just hit me up if you want to attend.
I’m game to play Wednesday and Thursday night. Pretty much have Wednesday open so whenever you want to play that day I’m down. I’ve only got the demo of MvC3, so it’ll be cool to finally get my hands on the finished version.
AWESOME. Already hype. And to think, I was almost about to replace him. That last combo is almost trolling.
If you were to host tomorrow night that would be absolutely AWESOME man. I was going to handle the GVegas area delivery via Jimmy at PCMH tomorrow but if you open house it gives me a common spot that I can get with all the Raleigh area people to distribute games. Depending on the EXACT time I get them tomorrow I will let you know.
And just like with Vanilla MvC3, I will be needing to take pics of happy customers lol
Does the PS3 version of UMvC3 still have the slowdown with certain stages (FUCKING SHIELD STAGE WHERE YOU CAN’T SHIT THAT EVERYBODY ONLINE WANTS TO PICK) and characters (FUCKING SENTINEL)?
Yea man, I down for hosting everybody tomorrow night although I’d love to get my hands on it earlier than that lol Just give me a holla
You know whats cool? Your xbox red ringing the day before ultimate comes out
That feel when you don’t own a 360 
PS3s die too. Not as often as 360s, but they do die.
UMVC3 release party at EZ. I’ll be up there a little before 12 I guess. Feel pretty sleepy,just got off work. Won’t be gettin a copy until Tuesday or Wednesday. Anybody else planning on going up there? I know Raf and Nathan will be there.
Well Nathan said he’ll be there all Tuesday and Raf said he’s gonna pop in and out during his lunch break and after work. As for me I just got done with bboy practice and I’m dirt tired so I’m just gonna rest and head up to EZ when I wake up tomorrow. I’ll have a copy with me.
oh ok cool.yea I can’t stay late tonight.week day, ya know. I’ll see you there tomorrow if your still there when I get off work around 8pm.
Yeah I’ll be there the whole day after I pick up my sister at 5.
I really don’t like the hitstun scaling nerf in Marvel. Seems like they want everyone doing the easy combos and are rewarding people for following the “intended” combo paths for the characters. Also the assist hit stun scaling thing kinda sucks, makes it really hard do lengthy combos now.
Not particularly impressed with any of the new characters. Strider coulda been really good if he did more damage. Vergil probably has the most potential out of anyone.
Zero and Dormammu are really good still, although Zero’s damage and some of his random hit confirms took a hit and no full screen buster hard knock down into combo is gonna be missed. Dante seems kinda bleh now, I’m not sure what they did to him but his normals push out / have less range now. He seems to be affected by push block more, so it’s more difficult to maintain pressure with him, so I might take him out for someone else.
Doom is really really good now.
Play Vergil then, I think they forgot to program scaling into his moves.
Good.
Players don’t deserve touch-of-deaths over a random assist. Or deserve multiple relaunches off the first hit of the match.
Most top players I’ve heard are really impressed with Ghost Rider, Nova, Vergil, and especially Frank. Frank is going to be on a lot of teams just because of the shopping cart assist and with the right setups to Level 5 he’s going to be even more retarded than Vanilla Wolverine.
Ground bounce on Strider’s teleport kick for point AND assist is hella ridiculous. Imagine a HOMING teleport Wolverine dive kick as an ASSIST.
Sorry, but any Dante tears are hilarious to me. It’s like Dante players are whining because they might be forced to play a character with ACTUAL WEAKNESSES, and ACTUALLY AFFECTED BY PUSHBACK like you know, 98% of the other characters.
I guess there’s always Wesker if you still want an OP character with no weaknesses.
Not ragging on you personally Jon, but the Dante forums are pretty much the biggest bunch of vaginas on SRK.
A bold claim, a very bold claim.
I have to agree with Shiki on the damage scaling thing. I told you this jon on fb. They don’t want people doing ToD shit. It’s pretty stupid that you lose the whole match b/c you got hit once. That’s why you saw good players gettin “blown up” sometimes even though they’re really not that bad. They just got hit and their whole team was automatically put at a disadvantage b/c of one touch. Sadly, this was probably way worse on MvC2 and I’m sure within a few weeks, they’ll find the same shit on Ultimate as well.
Strider’s tele kick doesn’t ground bounce, just a hard knock down, so it’ll be hard for some characters to do much with. Course Doom / Wesker and others that have easy to combo off of OTGs will benefit from it.
Dante had weaknesses before. He wasn’t good at getting out of pressure or doing much of anything without momentum or a lot of breathing room. I really don’t mind a combo nerf for him but his neutral / pressure game took the biggest hit.
I’ll still play the game of course, just pissed most of the characters I was looking forward to aren’t looking so hot. Course it’s day 1 but day one UMVC3 is a lot different than day 1 vanilla since we have a much better idea of what to look for now.
Hawkeye seems pretty good from messing around with him. Kinda weird he can’t shoot his arrows down in the air but taskmaster can,
Seeing Firebrand combos make me sad. He has 4 known ways to relaunch without an assist, and you can fit about 3 of them into any given combo, but he can only barely break the 500k barrier.
