I think you just stole my team! We both also play Gouken in AE, and Reptile in MK9 -.- What the fuck.
Not much people taking him seriously, most people I see playing him can’t even realize he can’t combo sweep into launcher, they keep trying the entire match
It’s like people are completely writing off this character before the game drops.
Also, is there any move that could leave open potential for air grab resets?
He’s different. So we’ll actually have to take him to the lab to find even the simplest BnBs. We’ll have to wait for Maximilian’s assist me on him to drop before we see anything real. Hopefully the next one will feature Danny.
Until then, we wait. And we don’t judge.
IF needs to be played on point because it’s clear he needs all the assist help he can get. I really don’t know who to pick as an anchor for IF/nova but that;s part of the fun of mvc right?
I think his place is either first or second. Second because he may be better on point but he does have two great assists (possibly three if people can figure out good crumple setups)
It’s much like Wesker, he’s arguably best on point, but his assist is so good that you really can’t say that anyone doing it different is doing it wrong.
I’m honestly waiting to see the possibility of running IF/Strange/Nova. I think Nova wouldn’t be a bad anchor in general and depending of the usefulness of his assists he could have good flow with IF. as for strange, his assist functions seem to mesh really well with danny so far, but only time will tell. I’m personally fine with running either doom or spencer as anchors since I think they both can add to IF’s overall playstyle.
as for the people writing off IF, its because they think that if your in marvel without an air dash or teleport your crap tier. honestly IF will be a different character to play than most, as he’s a ground based rushdown character in a game play mostly in the air. I think if he’s dominant enough in this role he will be absolutely deadly. he might be free to firebrand though 
I’ve only read The Immortal Iron Fist and I really like Danny.
But the Iron Fist in Marvel 3 does not look like Danny at all, at least I haven’t seen him with this kind of outfit.
Im hoping that Iron Fist turn out to be like spencer in that no one liked playing him and then we found out he was good.
The outfit he is wearing in MvC3 is his original one in the comics. According to some guy from Marvel, they preferred that the game creators would have used the current one, but for some reason Capcom asked to use the classic outfit.
9001x LOLs
I can see you are classy gentleman with a refined taste. I salute you!
It’s his classic look, not the best choice but it does look great in this game, I thought it would look terrible if they went with this one but doesn’t look like it.
And you know, they need to charge for the better costume lol, it’s the Capcom way of doing stuff
The outfit he has in UMvC3 is his classic outfit, I think we’ll get his modern outfit as an alternate DLC. If not that…then something along the lines of this!
And I can’t see Danny being terrible in the game, maybe low tier, but not bad, no character looks bad in this game, even Hsien Ko is now probably the only invincible BS assist. In vanilla people would just use Tron or Haggar that requires no meter, but now if they want the BS assist they’ll have to play Hsien Ko, she’s now useful por something other than assisting teams that like the character (no other reason to play her really)
This game’s low~mid tier is pretty balanced, what killed the variety was the superiority of the top tier, not how bad the rest of the cast was.
I think the shirtless outfit is a better choice because DLC Costumes don’t have alternate colors in this game, so we need something as different from regular outfit P1 as possible. So my guess is either topless Danny or the jacket
i mean it’s alright if Iron Fist doesn’t seem to have much air-capable fighting abilities, i’m sure he’ll have other parts of his move set and gameplay to make-up for his lack of discipline throughout the air. seems like through-out all of the mvc3 universe though, timing is the most strict portion of the game, as far as i can say. i’m not really concerned for his well-being as he should evolve through the uses of each individuals intelligence towards his benefits… and i strongly disagree with all the forum-posters claiming he has quite the chance of ending up as low tier. the power ups are new, and as far as i can see- he seems to be controversial, yet in the perspective i am viewing him- he has ultimately, the most unique gameplay style thus far. maybe not AS unique as super-skrul, but i don’t seem to lose hope so easily… especially for a video game that’s made it as far as marvel vs capcom. all hype aside, danny rand seems to be my playable character of choice… that, or the narrator of all the street fighter game’s who would call out “round one… FIGHT!” i’m sure that dude would be BOSS compared to Phoenix Wright.
FIGHT! > OBJECTION!
any day.
Will all the damage nerfs people seem to have gotten as well as the health nerfs a lot of characters have gotten, Iron Fists damage will be to much to ignore. Dealing that damage will be tough but i’m more than willing to make that work.
I just wanted to bold so people know what i am talking about right off the bat.
Again i posted this in the nova thread, but to elaborate i said the three things that instantly makes a character viable
- Self OTG and Combo’s that require very little meter while gaining alot of meter that hurt alot
- Mix-up abillities and the abillity to get in very quickly
- The ability to combo off throws.
Now luckily Iron Fist has 2 of 3, but the reason why people are concerned is because he has no air game at all, and that really hurts characters, no projectiles and harder to use. I do think that he will be viable, but its why nemesis is worrying too is because he is 2 out of three as well.
well icytor, disagreeing with what you’ve just stated… did YOU happen to make the game yourself? are you with capcom, or marvel? are you developing any of the players abilities throughout the game? take it as a hint, he has a lot of untapped hidden potential just so you know… he can’t be weaksauce grounded for life eagermcbeaver stuck in the days of world war one. don’t take kindness for weakness, and please, just please, do not take his lack-of-air-mobility as anything other than a distraction to your mind to not even tap into what his real potential is like. speaking for marvel, i believe i have a lot of demanding affection for how Iron Fist will turn out to play, and from what a bunch of people have barely gotten their hands on, and not really enough amount of gameplay footage on Danny Rand, i must say, sooner than later- Iron Fist will have the potential to be atleast B- tier. i just got a good feeling for the dude… seems like the “one’s and two’s and three’z” of what makes a player viable is just an effected opinion. why don’t you go try making a video game and see how it turns out? don’t assume what makes what, just because of opinions and judgement. capcom and marvel have come a long way, and it’s only strenous effort to downgrade a player for what you can only physically see.
I really want to use Iron Fist in my team so lately I have been thinking about a possible team I could use with him. Here is my initial thought on a team I could use
Iron Fist / Dr. Doom / Nova
Fist, Potentially the Best Character in the Game and the better Iron Fist.
Sound like a good team to me.
