Perhaps it’s because Viper wasn’t announced until very recently?
Ice shot can’t possibly be an overhead. First - it’s a projectile, second - that would be way too strong/abusable given the nature of the move.
By the way, I’m going to assume Wesker’s Samurai Edge assist hits low, but it doesn’t hit jumping opponents. Team him up with someone who has both a good overhead and a good anti- air grab (she-hulk?) and you can make for some scary unblockable 50-50’s in the corner. Opponent is either going to want to jump to avoid being sandwiched between an overhead and a low, or stay grounded in fear of being tagged by air grab super.
viper and doom for a chip team imo, you can throw trish or amata or someone else like that to do some dirty lockdown setups too. or chun li to be a battery for viper.
Wesker’s Samurai Edge does indeed hit low, and Spiderman could cover that overhead/ anti air grab.
also ryu looks like hot garbage
Team Lame It Out - Dormammu/MODOK/Trish
who is boring as fuck.
fucking capcom ruins everything
Team rush & keep away: wolvie-deadpool-dormammu
Shame to see no one in here looking at Logan as a viable character. Those mvc2 ghosts still haunt us all…
I think wolves is gonna be pretty strong. Just trying to keep the hype low for him…lol
I personally am looking at wolves, spiderman, x-23. Not in that order mixed and matched with morrgian and Spencer.
For zoning I’m liking, Chris/deadpool dorm and a random AA maybe hulk for power.
IM will be top tier for sure he’s being slept on right now.
IM has insane DHC potential with Proton Canon, I don’t know why nobody’s talking about him.
He’s too much like hte old one, so there’s not much interest. There are a few like that, probably really good but nobody thinks about them 'cuz they’re, well… boring.
I’m definitely not sleeping on IM and Logan. Of out of all the marvel characters I’ve faced in the game, I fear those two the most. Once they get in, it’s just really hard to keep them out of your face. Both of them also do really good damage.
Nickguy is totally in love with IM too.
Who cares how boring a character is if he/she is good and can pile up the wins for you?
In a speculation thread before the game comes out? Plenty of people.
As long as a character is potentially good (maybe even great) and has some, if not all, of the tools needed to make it a viable choice in high level/tournament play, I couldn’t care less if they’re considered vanilla in comparison to everyone else. I know that I’m not alone in this sentiment…even if it is strictly theory fighter at this point.
Though upon further consideration I can ee why Iron man isn’t being talked about. The stuff we know about him is sort of understood, there isn’t really much to discuss, new characters leave a lot more room for discussion and debate.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m just as curious about the old Marvel heads and wondering how they’ll fair in this game. I like some of the tweaks they’ve made to Cap, Spiderman, and Wolverine for example.
A lot of people. Having fun can still be a big part of the game even if you play competitively.
