The UMvC3 Tron Bonne Changes

Definitely, think Expo isn’t till later on in the month, though.

Not sure about block. It’s definitely not cancellable on hit or whiff, though.

Probably not, then, if it’s not cancellable on hit.

Also, did you test cancelling both the boulder lift as well as the throw?

Random thought, but maybe when they said you can cancel the throw, they meant something like feint-cancelling. Maybe holding onto the rock, and cancelling by pressing S? Not sure what that’d be useful for, but it’s a possibility.

I get the feeling Tron might need assists to perform well on point in UMvC3…

she already needed assists to perform well on point in vanilla :confused:

Wait…So…

She can’t use Beacon Bomb mid-combo…

She can’t Bandit Boulder cancel any more…

Hitstun scaling nerf and j.H nerfs hit her hard anyway…

Sorry MvC2 Roll, pretty sure you’re no longer the worst character in the series.

She got ONE buff… Rapid-fire servbots.

TIME TO FUCK UP ER’RYONES DAY WITH THESE LITTLE FUCKERS! AMIRITE!!!??? :smiley:

:confused:

if the servbots were never ending (meaning you could just continously throw servbots and cancel one to another one), it’d be a justified buff.

But right now, it’s ridic what they did with her.

from what i know of it, it sounds like it can only pop out 3 :confused:

however, I have no hands on experience, so if anyone with actual UMvC3 experience knows otherwise, correct me

it’s 3.
The only noticeable thing about it is that you can change the trajectory mid-special, so you can do:
Medium, Medium, Light to set up an incoming character for example

Or you can try some completely crap keepaway with heavy heavy light

have you found any practical uses with it? DOES it help Tron zone an any fashion? or is it as useless as we all assumed?

Apart from the incoming character example, seemed kinda pointless.

More testing in one week at mcm…

Might be more useful if the servbots stay out longer. If they stay active until the servbot reaches the ground, M-M-M servbots would almost form a modok-like wall for a good amount of time.

That’s always been the problem with that move, even in MvC2. The servbots just don’t staybout long enough to really act as any sort of deterrentnto the opponent, or to let Tron get in after firing them off.

H servbot launcher always pissed me off, because if it worked like M launcher it might actually be usefu
Since the servbot would hang in the air the longest (possibly long enough to rush shit down…maybe) but NO, that servbot has to fall like a rock because… Why? In all honesty, why does it have to fall so much faster?

It’s a move that needs a reevaluation. I think theynput it in because it’s part of her move set, but didn’t think aboutwhat it would, or would not, add to her game. It’s silly

Good lord. I was someone who actually used Tron for Tron for a while (as in, not just spamming her assist), decided to come here and see what direction she’s going in for UMvC3, see if I could use her on my new team. Then I read these playtest reports and…

…Wow. I cannot for the life of me imagine how this makes sense. Seth likes to tell us that Capcom stays out of affecting the metagame and exploration wherever possible, but… I think in this case they might have to come on down from their ivory tower and tell us what amazingly unfair things Tron can do in UMvC3 that these nerfs are good for the game and balance her out. Because as things stand right now, I’m at a loss as to what value Tron is supposed to have on a team. Drill/Grab games will only go so far, and that’s assuming the drills really are safe now. …Are they?

well, drill have always been “safe-ish”, at least on raw block. but once you get pushblock involved, Drill game goes down the shitter. And as for her Grab game, that’s something every character can counter if they watch their shit, and compared to some of the top tier, it’s not even all that special. If you’re talking about her Command grab in regards to her grab game… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I honestly think Tron got THE worst nerfs in the entire game. Even worse than pheonix and Wolverine combined. and the sad thing is, she didn’t even deserve them.

That’s what I was referring to, yes. The HCB+Atk command grab, and how Seth during the pre-release period of regular MvC3 was talking about how drill (block) to grab would be a staple part of her game. I don’t think that’s how it turned out.

It didn’t turn out that way because push block is really strong in this game, and Trons drill is easy as he’ll to push block.

If they made it somehow go through push block (which would be appropriate, it a god damn drill) so push block ONLY negates chip, without the push, it would then be good for that mixup.

Also, her grab range is ass. A lot of the grapplers in this game have ass range on their command grabs. The only character with a traditional grab with good range is SENTINEL. Seriously, WTF!?

Tron’s command grab is just terrible. I really only use it to punish bad players who don’t pushblock + are using someone slow enough for the grab to beat out. Even then, she can’t do anything off of it without assists or X-Factor, so there’s really no point.

I was so excited when I saw tron had a command grab… But i never get to use it :’(

When you go can you test all 3 versions of beacon bomb in combos. I find it strange that this move will only cause an opponent to tech quickly even when there’s an anti-air version of it.
