The gems are one thing, but all the other shit they went over in the overview trailer sounds straight up bonkers. Dash cancelling a level 2 charged attack turns your next attack into a counter hit and launcher being safe on low hits.
Man, what.
Yeah that doesn’t really make sense to me.
I’m done overreacting now. Still not thrilled about the system as a whole. Autoblock gem sounds useless like Pandora - one blockstring = your meter is gone - so that’s a relief for now.
I don’t see a problem with those systems, though. The dash charge could make up interesting CH setups and even though launchers beat lows they’re still unsafe as fuck, so you’re making a huge commitment if you use it.
45 Gems on preorder? LOL. Fuck you Capcom.
This pre-order bonus shit is gettin crazy out here.
If gems are DLC you can bet that they will be overpowered/super strong. They have to attract people somehow.
Not to satisfied still if you can disable the mode online, that’s the least they could do. Im just worreid since its already hard to find matches for me where im living, that I’m gonna have to force myself to fight with gems in the end and just put the search mode on ‘‘any’’
If you’re lucky the exclusive gems will be only aesthetic.
That sure worked with Shuma and Jill, everyone knows they’re by far the strongest characters in MvC3.
I think the DLC Gems, if they are actual things, will either by aesthetic silly things, or options to unlock things in game, much like how BB allows to pay money to unlock the Unlimited characters if you’re lazy.
Yeah, and don’t get started on AE, why all the new characters in that were…
It could go either way.
Doubt it. You have 5 gem slots, you’re going to sacrifice a power up for a hat?
Ok.
Immediate RAGE is over.
I don’t give a shit about Gems if its like Soul Calibur.
With a pure vanilla mode, and a Gem mode.
If it’s not then ROFL.
Can you see Daigo carefully selecting is gems before the Grand Finals in EVO 2012?
S. kill: “Oh! Daigo went for a straight up damage build! Seems like the gloves are OFF”
Ahahahaha, yeah fucking right…
50% of them were shit tier, 50% were top tier. So out of the 6 characters they’ve made DLC, 2/3 are shit.
Street Fortress 2
Anyone notice that Pandora mode delivers fucking chucks of chip damage? So much for just blocking it out.
Yea Once I heard that almost choked, cause counter hit no matter what O_O. The launchers im not to worried about because you have forever to deal a full combo if it is block
Uhhh.
And the main thing is that even one DLC option is overpowered intentionally.
If it’s just 1 gem out of 9 that becomes dominant, the point still stands that it becomes an advantage to pay for that 1, or the pack that has it.
Yun and Yang top tier. Oni, Evil Ryu, Jill, Shuma, shit tier. 4 out of 6 are shit tier, or two-thirds.
Over the initial disappointment of Gem system, I think we all knew it was going to suck anyway, now Im just disappointed that almost nothing was revealed this weekend. We already knew Rufus was in, and the characters in the teasers, assuming they are Law Paul and Xiayou, were characters we already guessed were going to be in. No gameplay videos of the new characters, what a waste.
At least MvC3 got 2 full reveals and character breakdowns with Seth Killian.
We were talking about AE, so I didn’t know you were including Jill and Shuma.
But then you’d still have to change your percentages anyway.
From what I’ve heard though, Jill isn’t shit, she’s just unexplored.
Can I just point out one thing to everyone raging over gems please?
Gems are NOT passive bonuses. They have to be activated. If there is in fact a tech throw gem, it would most likely activate from a tech throw or from being thrown. And it would only work once. So one free tech grab, not ALL of them.
