I spent an hour with him in the lab and the best I could get without an assist was 550k… I really cannot think of anything else to add. Maybe his C attacks (the 2 hitters) add a lot of scaling or something. He might also have some loops or something in Luminous body. I kinda dislike how his dive kick puts him in flight mode but there’s a few ways to work around that. If anyone says UMVC3 isn’t supposed to have TOD don’t give me that lol… I already have one with Zero.

His mobility is good though. Seems to be able to do some tricky stuff.

This looks really good considering Read a Book is one of the best supers in the game from what I’ve seen of it.

The damage scaling on his 2-hit H attack is stupid. These are all basically the same combo, the only difference is the number of hits from j.H’s.

cr.L, cr.M, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (2 hits), Demon Claw, Hell Dive L, land, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (2 hits), Air Bon Voyage, dash away from corner, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (2 hits), j.S, land, Dark Fire.

All air H’s are 2 hit. 552k damage.

cr.L, cr.M, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (1 hit), Demon Claw, Hell Dive L, land, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (1 hit), Air Bon Voyage, dash away from corner, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (2 hits), j.S, land, Dark Fire.

First two air H’s are 1 hit. 553k damage.

cr.L, cr.M, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, Demon Claw, Hell Dive L, land, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, Air Bon Voyage, dash away from corner, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (2 hits), j.S, land, Dark Fire.

Take out the first two air H’s. 553k damage.

cr.L, cr.M, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, Demon Claw, Hell Dive L, land, cr.H, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (1 hit), Air Bon Voyage, dash away from corner, S, sj, j.M, j.M, j.H (2 hits), j.S, land, Dark Fire.

Take out the first air H. Second air H is 1 hit. 554k damage.

EDIT: You can actually get more damage out of all of these combos if you backdash before performing the OTG Dark Fire. It produced around 10k more damage on each one.

323

Wow, I like that. I am trying this game out and have been interested in Strange since I seen him. This makes me even more excited now! Going out ot pick up the game in a few min from target.

How is the strategy guide? Should I get it? I am just learning the game.

324

That book will be useless in 2-3 months.

If you really want it, just wait until someone uploads a PDF of it.

325

The book is amazing. The last one was great and a lot of the stuff in it was still used till the final days or marvel. It’s got really good info, frame data, and general game plans. Possibly the best strategy guides ever made for a fighting game. I read a bit of the new one last night and it’s just as good as vanilla’s.

God damnit, I’m hitting the lab, we’re gonna break the curse of 550. :lol:

326

I swear, everything you post is flat out wrong. You’re like the new Arstal, except even he never claims that CRTs lag.

It’s the best fighting game guide ever. It’s like the Vanilla guide, except with the benefit of all of the knowledge we got from Vanilla to make things a bit more applicable. That, plus full frame data. Buy it if you’re serious about the game. At the very least, it’s 600 pages, so that will give you a lot of shits worth of toilet reading.

327

I’ve gotten up to 570k. I was just posting those for reference.

328

It’s good for frame data, but the internet can provide everything better.

329

So the only character I was looking forward to was Ryu and one very simple thing ruined him for me. They made his new powered up mode a down, down motion. If there was one thing I hated when playing Wolverine it was accidentally wasting meter on berserker charge while trying to wave dash. They finally allow Ryu’s dash to be canceled allowing him to properly wave dash then fuck it all up by adding in that motion. Worst of all the input is even more lenient then Wolvie’s meaning it comes out way more often. I need to find a reliable alternative input for wave dashing.

EDIT:

And denjin mode makes you lose health, sigh. Guess I’m gonna have to start from scratch. He was pretty much the only character I was looking forward to but having a move that makes me lose health and wastes a bar come out accidentally through wave dashing is a bit too much. Time to look at other characters.

330

I’m glad Marvel is back :slight_smile: I’m about to go pick up my copy and combo things all day.

Also, Jon did you notice they gave vergil karas’ block animation lol. Those characters look pretty similar from just a normals standpoint. Too bad they didn’t give him that tele-dash.

Finally, Iron man feels gross in this game. (not in a good way)

EDIT- Will stop being a baby fo’ real

331

You could try wave dashing slower? Usually dashes keep their momentum for a bit so if you do it slower, you can maybe avoid the denjin?

I’ve been in the lab with Zero / Strange synnergy, wow. I found some really cheap shit with them (Spell of Vashanti > Sougenmou > D-Loop lol) and eye of agamatto gives guaranteed unblocks with Zero… think I found my Dante replacement maybe. Lightning loop is still in, in all it’s glory. Hmm what else did I find… Rekkoha > Vashanti > Link Vashanti > Rekkoha > Hawk Eye Exploding Volley super is ridiculous.

Also found a new strange BNB that’s better than the one people are using now. Mystic Sword loops bitches!

lol yeah, they’re similar in a lot of ways. I guess he has teleports so it’s kinda like tele dash. Now we just need a slide infinite with him and we’re set.

332

I reserve my right to be a bitch.

That’s how I avoid it with Wolverine but Ryu’s is definitely more lenient cause it still comes out when I’m deliberately slowing down my inputs.

333

Has anyone noticed if Ultimate PS3 still has the lag issue that vanilla had?

334

Really?
The mode lasts like 5 seconds, what’s the point of adding that in?

I know it’s cliche to complain about, but why is Capcom the only fighting game company that STILL does not know how to properly rebalance a game?

335

So if I hated MVC3 for how stupid touch of death and ridiculous balancing it had (and yes I do know it’s better than MVC2 blah blah). I was thinking of picking up UMVC3 because of the new characters. Is this game for me if I am looking for a balanced experience and interesting new characters. Keep in mind that I consider AE balanced to a point or will I rage and say screw this shit because of something in the game that kills all my characters in one move or something lol.

336

Nah, it’s Marvel. The shit’s still going to be in there, it’ll just take about 2 weeks to find. Just pick it up and enjoy it for about 2 weeks and then sell it to me so I can play the game without giving Capcom a dime of my money. :party:

I absolutely love characters who fall under the radar. Hulk received a bunch of low-key buffs that are actually HUGE. Not only do you have to be scared to press a button, you have to be scared to punish him on block now.

They say Hulk is now in 800-900k BnB range with no assist, 1 meter and no X-Factor:

337

Watch out for Captain America giving him OTG shield made him actually good now. None of the new characters feel like ass to me yet but it is still day 1 so give it time.

338

The more I play Firebrand, the more I think he is bad. He’s a cool rushdown/mix-up character, but I just feel that every other rushdown/mix-up character in the game does it better.

339

Thinking of using Strider, but he need a good assist and I dont want to use doom,sent. What do?

340

It seems like most people are playing Strider as an anchor, because he doesn’t really need an assist.
