I miss you guys 
GGs last night Jason, Pat, and Chris.
Strider gets announced and Sev is nowhere to be found. Ainât that ironic?
Strider, Firebrand, Hawkeye, and Ghost Rider confirmed, then 8 more leaked from Capcomâs website. Bunch of posts on Eventhubs with links and pictures, SRK will probably have them shortly.
From the trailer, it shows that they changed the HUD, made air x-factor possible, and added some stuff to existing characters: Ryuâs beam super bouncing off walls, Taskmaster has some forward slash attack, Spencer with an air-to-ground smash OTG, and some other stuff. It also seems like damage has been slightly reduced, along with x-factor damage (though I could be imagining that since the new health bars kinda suck). There are a bunch of great gameplay videos available for the new characters. A few comments :
-Striderâs Ouroboros is a level 3, so the MvC2 style Doom/Strider chip traps wonât really be possible. That being said, it does a ton of damage, so I still see it being important to his game.
-Hawkeye plays much faster than you would expect from a keepaway type character. He has tons of different types of arrows with various properties, and can OTG easily with specials and supers.
-Ghost Riderâs range with his normal chain whip attacks is ridiculous. One of the videos shows a pretty simple looking combo off of a jumping whip from almost full screen away that does tons of damage. His level 3 is a command grab that looks totally badass.
-Firebrand seems like the new Wolverine. Easy-looking combos in the mold of: ground string, air string, solo relaunch (off an OTG i think), air string, super (OTG). He also has a ground dash special, a dive kick, a self power up super, and a level 3 that summons a demon companion.
Overall I like the look of the new characters a lot (though Hawkeye is a bit bland). The new HUD sucks though. Iâm interested to see how they changed current character balance (some people have noted that Wolverine in the videos looks slower than his current form).
Few more things:
-Horizontal Air Exchanges look like they remove a bar of meter from the opponent, down gives you what looks like an entire bar, and up doesnât seem to do much of anything.
-You no longer regenerate health in X-Factor while being comboâd
-X-factor in general seems weaker
-Seems like everyoneâs getting new moves.
-Dr. Strange/Iron Fist/Virgil
No Megaman X and the cancellation of MM Legends 3 is giving me an ulcer, though. Also Gene.
Those 3 are definitely great choices. Nova could be cool. I dont know what they plan to do with Phoenix Wright in terms of his attacks, since he isnt from an action game⌠I hope Nemesis is another âbigâ with high health, super armor, etc. Kinda wish there were other characters instead of Frank West and the raccoon, but whatever, Iâll give them a chance.
Goodbye Wesker. Hello Ghost Rider.
And yes, Ghost Rider can combo FROM FULL SCREEN starting with a j.H. Plus, two flaming head characters on one team is funny.
Well⌠seeing what characters they chose to add killed my hype a bit. Nobody theyâre adding is of my tastes. Dang it. Oh and I see âghost ride the whipâ becoming a popular phrase amongst SRKists.
GGs at Hastings, Squabb I need to play your Cody with Ryu sometime. I also need to remember not to jump so damn much!
Damn dude, you posted this the one day I didnât check the forums :-/
Itâs Marvel baâŚ
Am I the only person annoyed that we just got this game and theyâre already talking about a full retail release of a new version? Better be free ala CS2. It wonât be though.
On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how the game turns out now that a few things have been addressed.
-
No more DHC glitch (WHEE!)
-
Much needed character balancing (WHEE!)
but most important:
- MOTHER FUCKING ROCKET RACCOON!
My theory on why they felt they need a new release: Some of the changes needed (X-factor rebalance and removal of DHC glitch) required major changes to the game engine. Hoping the rebalances are a free download, but I understand if I have to pay for the new characters. $3.50 per character isnât a bad deal, considering most other games are $5+ per (BB, MK9, and even MvC3)
I hate to say it, but Ghost Rider sold me. I remember reading the series Mark Texeira did artwork for in the early 90âs when they made Danny Ketch the new GR. Also:

When innocent blood is spilled, a spirit of vengeance is bornâŚ
I donât really mind since fighting games tend to be good values in terms of hours played per dollar spent. I donât really buy many other games though, so that might just be me.
In other news, Poison is in SFxT
Agreed⌠Especially with that X-Factor,looks less brokenâŚ
Firebrand and ghostrider look really interestingâŚI hope Blade is one of the 20 add-onsâŚ
Ghost Rider and Dormmammu look like they should be Brothers.lol
