Giants just seemed like too dumb a gimmick in TvC; too simplistic with no room for the strategic fun that comes with actually having to move onscreen rather than just stand there and manage your armor. Sure, you’re a huge target as a giant, but you don’t really have any ability to improve or hinder your strategic advantage depending on how you move. Sent/Jugg at least have to actually move to do damage or escape lockdown; it actually matters where you are on the screen.
Of course I speak obviously in terms of the “true” giants like Gold Lightan, and not normal armored characters like Sent, Juggs, etc. The latter are perfectly fine and I really hope to see those two in particular return for Marvel 3.
Yea, if Hulk and Juggs are giants in the same way Lightan and PTX are I will be sad.If you really must have giants playable reserve it for truly colossal characters.
I wouldn’t expect them to play the same way. Increase speed and/or power of attacks or much more. You shouldn’t be stuffing Hulk or the Juggs with jabs. Dont compare the game to the exact way TvC plays. That was just them getting ready to make a REAL game.
The Giants were fine in TvC. They were balanced to an excellent point. PTX-40A is perfectly beatable and playable at the same time, which is rather shocking.
I don’t mind if they do that in MvC3, so I voted yes. It wouldn’t make much of a difference to me if they didn’t though; it’s not the same series.
Yea, I guess so. I see your point. They really aren’t huge enough to be classified as giants, though. There’s other ways to make them feel buffer and more intimidating without turning them into giants.We’ll just have to wait and see…
I didn’t mind PTX all that much. Lightan seemed pretty damn dumb, though. PTX seemed much more like a complete character in that movement actually meant something to him/her/it.
I think that every player should have to pick one giant for their team, and then they form the rest of their team from regular, non-giant characters using the CVS2 free ratio system. Your team members will hide inside of your giant’s body and burst out of his chest and/or mouth to perform their assists.
Poor Lightan is actually the worst character in the game.
It was because his movement was so bad… and he can’t really land his supers on a good player. Pretty much impossible.
I don’t think Giants will work in a really fast, in-your-face or run-away-off-screen game like Marvel. But if they can put them in, I’d say good for them. I’m always a big fan of new approaches and ideas.
I don’t like the way they did em in TvC. Their too damn slow and honestly kinda boring to both play with and fight against. If they could some how figure out a way to speed em up with out breaking them then I give a very enthusiastic YES more Giants.
Who are options for Giants anyways?
Capcom: Cyberbots, Kikaioh/Techromancer, Lost Planet, Monster Hunter
Marvel: Other then huge bosses like Galactus, Onslaught and Apocalypse IDK.
Giant vs. Giant matches are the best. Who doesn’t want to see two giant robots slugging it out over the city of Tokyo? What are you, some sort of anti-nerd?
Well, what about this - TvC was 2v2 and the giant took up both of those slots, right? In MvC3, if they do go with giants… why not make the giant take 2 of the 3 slots for your 3v3 team? This way you’d still have room for assists, albeit in a much more limited sense, and variety in team dynamic. If the giants of MvC3 take up all 3 team member slots it’ll be… boring, in my opinion.
