Grapplers are not a “unique” idea and they will never work in an mvc game. Deal with it.
They could work in a MvC game, but their grabs never really had any threat. The damage was sub-par and mobility of other characters was just too great.
For grapplers to work, command grabs would have to do big damage, have large range, and leave them in an advantageous position after the move to continue momentum.
My bets are on Capcom not giving a fuck and having command grabs as shitty as ever. Hope they prove me wrong.
This UAD debacle/miracle is a step forward for grapplers, you don’t just have to deal with it as it looks like they’re taking steps to make different playstyles viable…but back on topic giants can suck donkey phallace.
What if they gave grapplers magnetism? Hehehe
you know what I mean by “unique” … and no, it’s a refusal to suggest any ideas to make a character work, not an inability for the character work.
UAD is out as of the EVO build, due to Marvel wanting to keep airdashing only to characters that should be able to do it naturally.
Apparently I don’t.
It’s more my lack of faith in Capcom to pull it off so I’d rather not waste a character slot.
Whether or not Giants were a good idea, their implementation in TvC was done surprisingly well. Having two drastically different characters to be fairly balanced among a roster of normal characters is not an easy task.
The reason (I think) why giants were even implemented to begin with is:
-
Gold Lightan. He’s a pretty popular Tatsunoko franchise, and Capcom probably thought, “why not experiment”.
-
New gameplay element. Overall more appealing and interesting, even though professional players and audiences generally seem to find giant vs normals to be boring and tedious.
That being said, I don’t think Giants fit MvC3’s design at all. I’m pretty sure Capcom wants to make MvC3 are far more balanced game than MvC2 was, but if they are going to attempt 30+ characters like they said they would, introducing Giants would add a new dimension to balance the game to. It becomes very difficult. In TvC, giants became a huge counterpick game. Some characters were incredibly weak vs Giants (Yatterman2, Soki), while others were incredibly powerful vs Giants (Tekkaman Blade). It’s uneven.
After all, how can you make one character equal to three? It’s not an easy task. If you guys played any of the Mario Party series, you would know how lopsided 3v1 can end up being.
I’m a Giant user in TvC (yeah shoot me). I love giants in TvC, but for the sake of the game, it’s advisable they should be excluded.
BUT I do support the idea of having giant normal characters, (similar to what Sentinel was in MvC2). I’d love to make a Sentinel/PTX-40A/Jin Saotome team.
yes
yes
Just meant, something different than what would otherwise normally be in the game, unique internally, i.e. adding zoning characters to a game that’s all rushdown or something.
Fair enough, I can understand that.
I dunno…
I mean, I really hated giants (in TvC), they were a huge waste of time. Just spam some projectiles or a grab and they’re done. Seeing as how easy it will be to combo in MvC3, the giants may be another big waste of time.
I voted yes just to spite the original poster.
That said… If they’re handled well, I’m all for it. But I’m pretty sure they already said giants weren’t happening in this game. Around the time they said Tyrant wouldn’t be allowed.
Honestly, I don’t feel the giants break the game in TvC, and against certain characters are at quite the disadvantage. I really wouldn’t mind if they put giants in MvC3, but I would be curious how they would fit. Would they take two or three character slots? If its 3 they’ll really need to be buff to be playable.
Im all for giant characters, plus they werent overpowered or top tier in tvc, so why not? Just increase their health so they can take on 3 characters instead of 2.
I hate giants. I have to play them like a fucking boss battle. IF I WANTED TO PLAY A BOSS BATTLE I WOULDN’T BE PLAYING A FG.
I love the Idea of making more character’s like Sent, but I hate giants. Oh, noes! I’m gonna be called closed-minded because I don’t like giants!
Giant Man’s anorexic ass would be hilarious going up against PTX
Yer quite the aggressive fellow, aren’tcha?
…Maybe >_>
No not really, I just don’t like Giants. I REALLY don’t like giants.
They seem a terrible idea. My only regret is that I wanted a Playable Super-8/devilot, and you can’t do them without giants.
Again tho’, terrible idea. Watching competition with the good one is just agonizing.
I voted yes. There’s nothing wrong with them, and if they are problematic then you can just ban them.
