Hello everyone. How did the tournament/casuals go?
unfortunately I couldn’t make it this time =/. But I guess that’s alright since I am still practicing with my Morrigan/Vergil/Amaterasu team
Gonna have to go ahead and say nobody is right. The game is scrubby and it does reward mashing. vanilla marvel 3 was more balanced. now when a wesker teleports he can OS tech and spam S. All teleport characters can do this. So now as wesker you can now raw teleport and be safe. Unless your character has God like anti airs you’re fucked. Which honestly most characters don’t. sf4 /skull girls here I come. Nice attempt capcom to balance this game lewl.
OS throw to make something safe is stupid when the only punish is a THROW.
I can almost guarantee wesker will receive changes if not just out right nerfs. Capcom wants team diversity, no one wants to see the same few characters all the time(though imo its impossible to completely stop this, you can only limit it). Remember sentinal in vanilla? Stay free albert
He gets a pass by he wears sunglasses and thus is supa coo
Yeah… I feel the weirdness of UMVC3 is ridiculous… but gosh darn it I enjoy playing it so much >_>
so i found out how to always cross people up with maximum wesker. all you gotta do is qcf + ATKx2
although sometimes it bugs out and they can block it forward??? i really hope they patch that out theres too many bugs.
I think we all need to collectively stop complaining about things and just swallow it (no homo). I know I’ve been one to bash marvel, but ultimately, if you aren’t winning in an
"easier" game, then you aren’t going to win in a harder one. To quote Torrin:
The game sucks and it always will suck no matter how hard they try to fix it, brian if youre really gonna play sf4 I think you should 
skullgirls sucks btw IMO played at Evo and Seasosns beatings. Maybe I’m just a full retard and hate everything new !
Tbqh I don’t mind wesker, our dads are bffs.
no cuz ur dom imos
So many things wrong, so little time to point them all out…
I haven’t even bought Ultimate yet, so I haven’t personally faced his new form yet, but there’s obviously a problem with Wesker. I don’t think he’s as retarded OP as some people make him out to be, it’s just that he’s brain-dead easy. At this point, it takes more skill to play Wolverine, which is saying ALOT. I highly doubt a new ‘OP’ character is coming out unless there’s gonna be a patch. I think there’s certain characters that can beat Wesker that people aren’t using, and they won’t complain about those characters, they’ll praise that there’s finally an answer to LVL 4 XFACTOR Wesker.
No way. When I win it’s all me. When I lose it’s lag, the game itself, or my opponent cheated. There is no spoon.
Let the record reflect that I love the shit out of wesker because he is broken, and that if they nerf him, I’m just gonna jump on the bandwagon for the next broke character.
Either that… or felicia because she’s GDLK!
I think the best statement for this situation is what someone told me when I refused to play AE over ST…evolve or die
that might’ve been me isaac, cause i know i’ve said that before
No.
lets all bash mvc3 herp
My issue is that wesker was already an extremely popular, easy, and strong character in vanilla… and then they gave him the shades buff, which imo completely overshadows the ‘nerfs’ he got in ultimate.
I do really hope that they at least undo the throw teching bullshit. As it stands now, if you EVER get hit by a throw, it’s your own fault for not mashing H hard enough, and that is downright retarded from a design standpoint. Yeah (air)throws were kinda dumb in vanilla too, but they also served a purpose in allowing some things like teleports to be punished, and there was a degree of precision needed to make sure you actually got the throw if you wanted it instead of whiffing a j.H and then getting thrown yourself. I can’t wrap my head around what reason they would have to make throws and teching work the way they do in ultimate.
The thing is if you want to be heavy into the scene (and by heavy I mean you want to get better and win tourneys not walk around screaming “swag” all the time) then you have to “shit or get off the pot” there’s too many people in the bay area that are constantly teetering back and forth whether they want to go hardcore or be casual.
Another problem with the Tampa scene for as long as I’ve been a part of it is that the scene as a whole gives up too easily. People will get hype for a game when it comes out till they either realize it’s harder than it really is and/or they get blown up by someone that did their homework and never touch the game again. This has happened with tekken 6, HDR, mvc3, mk9, etc. People were hype for umvc3 and now look, people here want to right it off cause of wesker and the game is only out 2 weeks. Yes, wesker may be an issue, but Ill take him over Phoenix any day.
I think we need to get a list of who serious about going hard in 2012 and for what games, that way we know who to train with and maximize our time. I don’t have that much time to begin with and if I’m gonna go hard then I don’t want to waste what little time I have with people that aren’t serious about this.
Don’t get it twisted, I like hanging out as much as the next guy, I just want my piece of the pie.
I know I just recently entered the tampa bay area scene. But I entered it because I am serious about improving my game, I don’t know how far I will go with it but I want to try. I am still an avid SSFIV:AE player, a UMVC3 player, and BBCS player and that will probably stay that way for quite a while (until SFXT comes out, and I may give skullgirls a try)
Sure, right now things look grim because Wesker is OP and overused but I am not going to let the bother me, because it has only been a few weeks new technology is yet to be found (that and capcom might patch him)
