Oh Say Can You See, the MvC3 Captain America Video Thread

Of course it can start with down h! That’s normally how it starts for me in matches :slight_smile:

Whew good. I was afraid that was what was causing problem 2. Yup, that just cements that as soon as I get it down, that’s my new BnB. What’s the final damage on that btw before the DHC?

Depends on the character. Some only break 700k by about 30 - some get well over 800k. You’ll have to alter for ammy/wolverine/ a few others.

Okay, that sounds worth replacing my old BnB then.

Last question, can I start it off of Cr. L?

yep

Now I just need to get that second j. up H to connect.

Hey guys I uploaded a ft5 set between me and my friend with commentary. Here it is so you guys can watch, Enjoy!

i really like watching that reset in action.

i’d love to see some even matches! i need to record some… welll i guess i need to PLAY some more lately hahaha

Hey guys. A friend and I have started up a weekly Jam Session on our youtube channel where we commentate our matches and crack some jokes. I recently went back to my day one team of Cap / Iron Man / Deadpool and am having so much fun with it.

Would be great to get some feedback, both on my Cap play and the video in general. Shout-outs to Gimpyfish, Ken123103 and Kei (who I mistakingly call Kai, sorry) in the video. Their tutorials where very helpful, and I almost pull off some nice tech but I’ve still got a long way to go. I’ll be training the team all week so if you enjoy it look forward to the next video and see if I’ve improved. Thanks!

LOL no worries, that happens to me ALLLLLL the time. If it’s not that then they pronounce my name like the word ‘key’ lol. I’m going to watch the matches now, and I’ll post on it tomorrow.

ninja edit: very glad to see first thing that your team has a pretty good color synergy which should always be mixup #1 !!! (seriously, lol)

Kei <— not to be confused with Kai lmao

Lol ken123something something something! lmaooo you dont know how many times I get that, ive been called ken123123, ken90210, ken123456789 lol. I guess the best and easiest name to remember me by for shoutouts is Captain AmeriKen lol. My friend said I should start using that name and I think i just might start lol.

Also I’ve uploaded some more online matches that you should check out! I hope you enjoy it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYvHaeAb3vc

Sorry for the fail shoutouts I’ll be sure to rectify it next episode lol. I’ve been working on my Cap all week since then, especially against Wesker online but so far none are as much trouble as NoLoader’s. I’ve watched the matches Ken, I like the post match commentary and going over it again so you can pick up on the things you do. You may notice that we will often go quiet mid sentence when fit hits the shan.

Would be great to get a couple of games going to see what the connection is like, and if its decent maybe we could get you guys in one of our Challenge Accepted vids?

those were some fun matches to watch. i thought the “chip him!” at the end was hilarious.

As stupid as the wesker matchup is, Prometheus, you throw your shield WAY too close. It opens you up for wesker’s gdlk launcher. Fake out your SS with jumping down heavy occasionally. It has HUGE hitconfirm time into a combo and will beat out almost anything that doesn’t have invincibility on the ground.

As I watch these back I see your 100% right Blade. I have been working on trying to keep myself further away from Weskers to avoid the teleport mixups and especially NoLoader and his Akuma assist. We’re going head to head again soon with these teams again so please look forward to see if I have made any improvements. And thanks for watching Oh Noes, what do you think of the length of the video? Is an hour too long, would people prefer if we did a 20 minute video with the best matches?

I seldom watch videos an hour long, well definitely not FG matches. It’s rare that anything new will crop up, as long as it’s the same characters.

Oh yea and use :m: SS in the air and on the ground occasionally to mix it up, it might land you a combo. And use :l: SS on the ground, you’ll go under wesker’s ground bullet and if the spacing is right you’ll hit him instead. But when you use these unorthodox SS’s try to have yourself covered with a projectile assist in case he decides to teleport, and mash buttons.

Prometheus, I didn’t forget about posting critiques on your matches. I just wrote nearly a freakin tutorial, and while typing had an execution error hitting Ctrl+Shift+R instead of Shift + R…we all know that in Capcom world the strongest attack comes out when you press multiple buttons at once…in this case Ctrl + R is stronger than Shift + R…so the ‘refresh page’ attack came out, and I lost everything. :mad:

In super short summary (I’ll expand some when you reply, and I’m not ready to throw my keyboard)…

  1. Watch your spacing (esp. air shield slashes)
  2. Stop jumping so much
  3. Think 3 times before calling an assist (see #1)
  4. Use your ground movement more (dash, wave dash, plink dash, charging star)
  5. Don’t rely solely on the vanilla Cartwheel + Unibeam mixup (vary the cartwheel with forward dash xx cartwheel and esp. backdash xx cartwheel)
  6. Punish every single thing you can with Cap’s 2nd fastest move…charging star! (c.L is 4 frames…charging star is only 5)
  7. Charging star + Unibeam assist are S tier movement options…you must learn to use them now!
  8. Learn how to use Cap’s air H moves (up, down, neutral) EXTREMELY fluently…you won’t drop kill/maim combos
  9. You can move BEFORE your shield comes back to you during a ground shield slash…this includes calling assists!
  10. Stop letting every 2nd character come in for 100% free! At least do an air M.shield slash if nothing else. (don’t get an assist killed though…see #1)
  11. Don’t waste xfactor!!! (do you REALLY need to save that character with 30-40% health…when the opponent has 5 bars, xfactor, AND Gouki still as anchor!)
  12. Learn to identify the opponent team’s strength, and then find a way to kill it asap! (if you killed Gouki that team would totally fall apart)

Okay that will give you a general idea of what I wrote…ask away, and I can elaborate on any of the above points and more. I didn’t even get to writing any of the IronMan stuff I wanted to write (he and Cap are my most used characters…literally 1st & 2nd on my usage list, Spencer at 3rd but more than 1,000 matches less). I can help you with him a bit too if you’d like though, while I don’t claim to be super pro elite status with anyone, but I do have my MvC title icon as ‘Well rounded’. for a reason :wink:

Kei

Wow, Kei I am indebted to you. Thank you for the excellent feedback. I have watched these matches over and over and following some of the other extremely helpful Cap players I am beginning to see that a lot of it is down to spacing, and being impatient (read: dumb) with my SS and assists.

  1. Spacing: I have been working on it and Wesker is the worst for getting it wrong, so I’m in the deep end and excited to see how I do next week.
  2. I get nervous on the ground because of the High/Low threat, I feel safe in the air but I know I am not.
  3. I probably only think 3 times in an entire match so this will take a lot of work.
  4. I get nervous with dashes, as I always feel like I’m open to a long range low M or H from Wesker.
  5. Never thought of back dash Cartwheel… and I have been trying to get a few more variations of the mix up in the training room but it just isnt the same.
  6. Is L CS safe on block in case I read the situation wrong?
  7. Special moves in general outside of combos / Deadpools Guns / IM Unibeam I rarely use… I will try to fix this
  8. I have yet to figure out how the up neutral or down variants of H affect the opponents position, any help on this point to help me stop dropping the combos will be greatly appreciated.
  9. I never consciously realised this, I dash or use standing H on their way back after the c.H SS combo but for some reason outside of that situation I sit there and wait for it… hmm thanks for pointing that out.
  10. I’ve seen the wicked mixup Ken can do with Sent drones and air M SS, but yes its terrible that I let them come in for free.
  11. I kick myself every time I get carried away with X-factor, I’ll find myself going for those for buttons several times during the match lol, when I do actually do it its one of those times I wasn’t quick enough to stop myself.
  12. I’m always shouting at NoLoader that Akuma is a broken piece of !#!# but I without an effective incoming character mixup I never think to snap anyone in.

Thanks again, and I have been playing a lot today, I find that I can do really well against Mags with my Cap, but Weskers in general are a pain. Look forward to the next episode!

By the way thanks to everyone who’s watched and given me tips, we all want to see the evil Wesker vanquished. In general are people happy with the layout, an hour over 4 parts? If anyone has any suggestions on the formula NoLoader and I would be happy to hear it, we do have a few ideas of our own which we will probably mention next week. Peace!

What does having really high stability mean in your online stats?
