I wouldn’t say that much. It looks like he only has 800k health, his damage is okay( In his intro video, all the characters he hit had crap health, except for Spencer), fast air dash but he can’t attack out of it, no dive kick, to kill Chris in his VS video he had to use xf level 3 and all of his level 3. There are no more wolverines in UMvC3, but there probably still will be a retarded strong character. I’m still looking at Wesker because he didn’t appear to get nerfed that bad, but it depends on how they changed his hit stun degradation on his gunshots and his xfactor time.
I think we all knew about that already.
yes but but but… screw it
Out of all the new characters, Vergil, Nova and Stange look the best to me. Strider gets outshone by Zero buffs, Iron Fist has a tough time getting in, Nemesis and Hawkeye seem one-dimensional, Phoenix Wright (sans his level 3) has weak damage output along with Firebrand and Racoon, Ghost Rider is only going to be considered good the first few months of course all while the online players stop bitching about him and Frank West is more out of place than Phoenix Wright.
I’m more than likely wrong about all of this though. Don’t matter.
I agree with you about a bunch of the stuff, but we’ll have to wait until the game is out to see for real. I don’t think Strider is going to be looked over because of Zero. Zero came out about even from his changes. Yeah he can cancel his moves with his buster, but it sounds like it has to be max charged and it know longer causes hard knockdown. No knockdown messes up a lot of his combos by shortening them, therefore he will build less meter.Strider is also going to serve a different purpose in this game. Strider is definitely a meter user while Zero is a meter builder. I expect to see a lot xf level 3 Striders. Iron Fist is the new Captain America, but they at least started him out with an otg. His flaming kick attack does look like a sweet assist though. Hawkeye is one dimensional but he has a good looking zoning toolset and a crazy level 1. That one shot super auto tracks full screen and looks faster than any beam super in vanilla.
My summary of Phoenix Wright is that he’s like Hakan, bad when not powered up and really dangerous when powered up. When powered up, each heavy does around 130k and cause wall or ground bounce(but supposedly there is a way to combo 6 heavies together), crazy damage on all his specials, and a level 3 that is full screen, 0 frame startup, 600k damage. That makes gravity squeeze sound weak. I agree with what Jago said, power him up on point, tag him out for xf level 3, he could be the new Phoenix.
Frank West looks like a fun character. I don’t know too much about how he’ll control because it looks like he has a move like lightning legs that’s mashable in air and on ground, but he has a zombie command grab like She Hulks running grab. He powers up and the range of his normals look like they become similar to Dante’s. AA super grab like She Hulk, otg charging super that does more damage as he levels up, and what appears to be an at least projectile invincible super like super charging star but animated. It’s going to be interesting just to see how all the new characters pan out. I’m foaming hard for Ultimate.
I think that Zero’s health buff also helps his case in Strider vs Zero argument. Frank just seems like a gimmick-based and flashy (wack ass pun) She-Hulk and Wright seems like he would have trouble against zoning unless his Turnabout normals do have some projectile durability. But in the case of Zero vs Strider, overall Zero would be the faster character and his cancelable buster seems to have ridiculous mix-up potential. Now don’t get me wrong Strider definitely has A LOT up his sleeve with his teleports, wall climb and of course Ouroborous but with current health differences Zero seems to be the smarter choice in the long run. Zero’s buster not having a hard knockdown does seem like a huge blow to his combos but if I remember correctly Zero’s Raikousen (dat lightning dash) causes an untechable knockdown which does or does not extend his combos (not too sure about this one though). I for one also think that Zero’s mobility is still one of the best in the game just behind Vanilla Magneto.
Just my take on how I see things, I wouldn’t mind being wrong though.
In any case, Wright, Nemesis, Frank West and Strider aren’t getting any play from me. Along with Zero.
I don’t know how much of a difference that extra 30k health buff can make. That’s an average light and way less than the chip from Doom’s heavy beam. 830k damage isn’t that hard to do, even without x factor. If Zero had Wolverine health then everyone would be up in arms. Phoenix Wright seems like he’ll do okay in the zoning game since he has the assistant shield which is like MODOK’s but it looks like it lasts longer. His evidence can also be used as projectiles with varying properties. I also think that his papers projectile have somewhat decent durability
I’m going to play with all the new characters just so I can evaluate their gameplans. I agree that Frank West is hella gimmicky but I’ll play him just cuz he’ll be similar to She Hulk but with potentially better normals now that hers got nerfed(Thinking about this, why can Magneto still cancel crouching light, but She Hulk can’t?). Nemesis seems really boring to me since it’s just another Hulk but with tentacles and a long ass hyper armor super.
I’m going to play with doctor doom
I never doubted you for a second.
9 hours of practice wtf
Replace your sleep with practice and you could be Daigo too.
more like replace your job with gaming and your food variety with ramen (cuz that’s all ull b able to afford) and u could b Daigo
Well he somehow has enough money to eat more than ramen.
***Outside of gaming; what do you do? ***
“I love good food, so I like to go eat out at good places I know of, and also try out new places. I like cooking as well.”
But I think that regimen was probably an exaggeration of Daigo’s everyday life. Anybody practicing that much should body everyone.
8 of those 9 hours were spent practicing twinkle star sprites, them sprites
heh guess all that street fighter pays off. okay new plan lets all quit our day-jobs to play more street fighter.
All this Marvel foam, so good! Brandon – you coming up next weekend? Dunno if we’ll have Ultimate but we’ll sure try… oh man that could be one hype ass weekend if we did and streamed it all weekend too.
Andy you’re too sick to foam, you’re gonna foam in your pants if you’re not careful. Others wanting to play tonight can stop by after 5 or so.
LOL oh man I probably will foam in my pants once they announce Jubilee for DLC !!! Also, I will stop by for some Marvel beatdowns for a little bit early on but then I must return to my chamber and rest.
if I get sick I’m dumping a bucket of asian lady beetles on your head
I’m actually thinking of coming up on Thursday night, since I have Friday off.
