Sentinel / storm / Dante is the squizzad. Just gotta learn these here buttons…
It is a perfect V-Day gift for my wife 
I met my wife by playing the first game when she was one of the arcade gals that hung out at the mall all day. For a while I could not beat her in the game.
So now she will have an extra joystick to play with 
ok so team ass (arthur,storm,sent) looks very promising and what do you think about the game being more of an evolution of tvc than mvc2.
If the game is fun, I don’t care what it evolves from. Just hope it is not too dumbed down.
I really am pulling for this game, Tekken is cool and all but this seems like everyone in town is gona give this a shot.
I dont know if you watching nerdjosh vs spooky last night, but if you lame it up with arthur that team should get by. Everyone else on the team is good too. NJ was just spamming swords and sentinal assists. If you hit one or if they try to air dash you just throw out that really fast fire ball super out. rinse and repeat.
Sounds like a pretty good standard team. Yea those fuckin buttons are wierd but i think once you get the game they shouldnt be a problem.
Coming from someone who never really played tvc, but played a LoT of mvc2, I must say I see elements of both honestly. Hard to say which it is more built from. I will say that I’m not playin mvc2 again for a long time, cuz the button setup is definitely an adjustment! Like pressing what Would be fierce and getting medium attack, or what would be assist 1 to get fierce (hard attack or whatev). Id say the buttons and wavedash being a little different are the main adjustments coming from mvc2 that may be easier for someone coming from tvc. But within a week the buttons should be a non-issue!
BB demo is down. Manager said he hasn’t been able to get it on since last night. Can’t handle the ridetaking.
Yeah, the button layout is wacky. Also, your partner seems to auto-attack if you do an air exchange, I haven’t quite figured out ways to do anything cool from it.
Dante and X-23 are ridiculously fun. She-Hulk is a combination of Fuerte and Maki from CvS2! Ryu is Ryu. Wesker is a beast, has silly teleport shenanigans, and hits like a rhino. Chris has a lot of weird wannabe-Cable type moves…he feels like he could be a bizarre rushdown Cable. Phoenix is…well, I don’t know yet. She has a sick amount of projectiles that are stupid fast, traps, teleports, dashes, etc. I just don’t know if it makes up for that health, because if she gets tapped once it’s over.
A few other thoughts: some combos feel really fast, while others feel very ‘dial-a-combo’-ish. Red life does not disappear when an assist gets snapped/tagged in, but instead slowly goes down like in Vampire Savior. Hitstun decay feels very awkward and makes longer chains feel less intuitive.
I wish I could’ve made it out to the SLC yesterday. If anything is going down today, keep me informed. If there’s a reason I have to leave early (which will be very late) it is because I have free entry to some shows at the Engine Room and one is tonight. It is looking like I might have to skip out on this one.
Mike i know you’re on that marvel
but i wanted to let you know i fixed teh xbox
pick up your damn phone lol
Fun fact: Start+Select resets training mode. Hold left or right and it’ll reset with your opponent in that corner.
For the button line up will it be like this?
top 3 - low medium high attack
bottom 3 - launcher assist 1 assist 2
is that it?
If not will tourneys let us rearrange our buttons you think?
There’s an option to turn button layout select on during the character select screen, which would probably be standard for tournies. The layout you described is the standard (I think), and the other is more of a mvc2 layout.
Nice edit GMike, hahahaha.
Yeah, that layout is the easiest to use so far.
well the game is built from the tvc engine according to seth killian so it should play a great deal more like tvc than mvc2.
Im still trying to figure out if i want to roll with
L M H
S A1 A2
or like a KOF style thing with assists
L M A1 ----- L M A1
H S A2 ----- S H A2
Not to sure which yet but I think it would be better to have assist buttons away from the normal buttons.
The button layout is easy definitely feels more like TvC then anything. Id even venture to say its more like arcana because the S button is very very distantly related to the E button in relation to normals. Logan it shouldnt take you more than a day or 2 to get them down. When i first stepped on TvC it didnt take that long to grasp.
After doing about an hour in mission mode at BB. I want to add
TaskMaster, Akuma, X-23, Capt America, Dante, Sentinal on alt teams. All are fun.
Mvc 3 buttons
There ya go
Hmm I think ill go with that then, but if i start accidently using the wrong assist then ill go with the aforementioned alternate layout. Thats the only thing im really worried about.
I’m doing Wolverine, X-23, Sentinel.
Running this one myself. It’s extremely close to an AH3/Melty/GG style setup, just with assists. The faux-MvC2 style was awkward and almost unusable.
