If Wolverine’s on point, then Hulk almost always covers me at the beginning with his assist. After that, it’s just being patient and playing a good defensive game.
Also, Wolverine is free to Paperwork if you manage to get to Trial Mode. I’m dead serious. It prevents him from crossing you up with his Berserker Slash, protects you from divekicks, and covers an angle that Wolverine has a tough time getting past.
Yeah, I realized Paperwork acts as a very useful shield plus I discovered you can somewhat cancel the H > M > H(or L but I recommend H) Paperwork if timed correctly, kinda’ like how Chun-Li does with her Tenshohyaku or w.e to stay airborne. Thanks for the advice.
If I’m going against a character that I think is going to destroy PW I swap the order of PW and my 2nd character by holding the P1 button before the match starts. My 2nd character is Hawkeye and he does pretty well against most character. But if I was stuck with PW I would try pushblocking, careful assist calls, and supers. Maya is good since it comes out no matter what after the flash, and it gives time for evidence, and Order in the Court is good since it’s invincible, but that requires a stance changed, and I wouldn’t recommend it unless it will kill or you can DHC out.
Depending on your team THC’s can work too. With PW/Hawk with 2 meters I got Gimlet backing me up, and depending on my position the enemy can fall into Maya after being hit by the Gimlet. Ammy has one of the best supers to help PW in my opinion, since it’s fast, hits everywhere, and lasts a long time. Do it at the right range where the opponent won’t be able to hit you in time but will probably be pressing buttons and you get free time to do anything you want while doing a good deal of damage, and even if they block it they can’t do anything.
If anyone doesn’t mind, can do you do some testing regarding Trial mode Press the Witness? (Since my friend is borrowing UMVC3 atm and no access)
Canceling Evidence into Press the Witness
I think when I was testing it it’s possible to cancel evidence like cellphone or folder earlier so you won’t be punished. I’m not too sure about it. I have a theory that it might assist against teleporters while doing a zoning game.
Press the Witness against incoming or airborne blocking opponents
It’s possible for whiffed press the witness to be used as air grab setups but what about incoming or airborne blocking opponents? I have a theory that after the end of the move the block stun goes away pretty fast and you can do an air grab after.
Thank you for your time.
Was the game patched able to pick up evidence and when i got hit my bad evidence disappeared? Anyone he a similar thing happen?today? I was Ble
Poltergust’s showing at those videos has made me not loose hope on PW. I picked him up day 1, but now I believe he’ll remain one of my favorite characters. Cheers man!
Yup this works, can cancel Evidence into all his specials actually so that includes all versions of Paperwork. Though some evidence can be cancelled much quicker than others (vase for example) so I’m not too sure if this setup with certain evidence can be used on reaction.
I tried to recreate the teleport scenario in Training mode (with Dormammu and Super Skull) and while it works against a raw teleport, Dormammu can hit Wright at the startup to some of his specials with air.M and air.S. As for Skrull’s Meteor Smash, if he doesn’t cancel into super he can be knocked out of it before the explosion with Press the Witness H, but the timing was pretty strict for me personally. I also briefly tried this with Phoenix (made her randomly follow up with St.M) and had a much harder time catching her with both Paperwork and PtW.
Generally Paperwork brought the better results since the papers would usually save me from a followup if I got hit anyway. Although this is probably worth testing on all characters with teleports.
I’ll come back to report on your second request.
I’ve been playing some more player matches with PW post-patch and I’m really liking his XF buff, I’m blowing XF early now and chipping people to death in XF1 and its pretty god like but it seems like they changed the evidence system online. Before in player matches you would get the same evidence in the same order as long as you would rematch, but now that seems to be gone.
Actually, PW didn’t get a buff. His X-Factor always gave him a 200% damage boost in Turnabout Mode. >.>
Misleading. You can’t “cancel” evidence into paperwork. You just do paperwork after evidence. And different evidence have different recovery rates so thats what you’re referring to when mentioning cancelling much quicker. I think your confusing cancelling with linking. You can’t cancel evidence into anything other than super.
Unless you are talking about cancelling the small amount of recovery frames in which that’s no different than what anyone can do.
Really? Darn I always went to character select and rechose my PW team when I didn’t like my evidence in player matches LOL
Same thing man, loved getting Knife/Cell Phone/Watch every time.
Just played a few player matches with different people today. Still seems like set evidence is there as I always got the same set of evidence as long as I hit rematch with my opponent. That means I can keep resorting to character select to generate better evidence lol
Really? I could have swore I was playing player matches and I kept getting different evidence even on rematches, then again I could just have not been paying attention and been paranoid because of the patch.
Sorry for not getting another win for PW under his belt, guys. =(
2nd place is still cool, though.
link your matches please. I really need to learn to be more patient with this character. want to see some gameplay!
They should be on the Arcade UFO stream archives:
Note: PW didn’t have too much of an impact in (most of) these matches.
Ah, well that makes sense lol. Thanks for clearing that up and apologies to Operator for pulling a full retard.
The fact that you’re in the Top 3 still is amazing in and of itself. O: Keep it up man, good stuff.
Congratulations for your second place.
You really had the last match… When you got a hit with Turnabout Phoenix Wright, why haven’t you finished Dante ? With a combo you would have killed him 
Against Ryu with your 3 bars and XFC, it was done 
That’s why I was frustrated that I lost lol. I usually make good decisions in critical moments, but not that time, unfortunately.
