Half of it is trolling. (Trolling: The more you know!) The other half is my astonishment of people who hate things because they don’t know what those things are. Being upset at the inclusion of Rocket Raccoon because you’ve never heard of him is silly. I hadn’t heard of him either when he was announced (and I’ve seen Thor threeve whole times), so I decided to read up on the furry critter. I soon learned that Rocket Raccoon is bad hyphen ass. And even if he wasn’t so god hypen like, at least I learned something new.

Knowledge: It’s what’s for dinner.

I wonder if they gave Frank his 3-move infinite again. :wgrin: j/k

@ Curly: Ok…umm…so what you’re saying is that before his announcement you, too, knew little to nothing about him, and so you read up on him. I find that funny considering that you were the one who shat on our knowledge of Marvel due to our lack of awareness in regard to RR. Hmmm…that doesn’t sound very Marvel-l33t to me. Tsk, tsk.

For the record, I read up on him, too – right after he was announced. Does that now mean I know stuff about Marvel? My troll is win because I used the term “l33t”.

Who cares about Marvel characters when I’m gonna be styling on you with Vergil/Strider

Team BROS4LYFE

B4L, son! lol

Dennis would use Vergil. He looks like a problem…a problem for ROCKET RACOON™

I’m already afraid of Dennis. I don’t think I’ll be able to take the abundance of fraternity bro-love that his team is gonna exude.

Yea, I read the entire back story for RR… that’s what made me hate him. It’s not the fact that he’s a raccoon at all, it’s the fact that his story is horrible and sounds like it was wrote by a guy on shrooms… like more than Miyamoto was on when he created the Mario universe.

Speaking of Mario…

Look close and you can see my junk. Now you can never unsee it!!!

This alone is reason enough is reason enough for me to play and get good at this game so I can make brock rage over losing to the VIOLENT VARMINT™. Also, I recall brock claiming something along the lines of “I will play Spiderman no matter how ass he is.” So allow me to add the grain of salt that I take your comment with and deliver to your storage facilityhere.

Also quite hyped that the concept team of Team Space Case (RR, Skrull, Nova) may have some potential.

Hey, I said that when I didn’t think I was going to like, nor take MvC3 seriously at all.

When I actually liked the game after playing it, I decided that in order to take the game seriously, you have to have one of the following on your team: Wolverine, Dante, Magneto, Phoenix, Wesker. I chose Wolvie cuz he was the easiest to learn.

I have no shame in my game. Top tier Marvel forever.

i miss mvc2. i want to have a mvc2 night at my place sometime soon. add booze and music from the yeah yeah yeahs.

Good luck… I’d like to have a TVC night, but I’m just pissing in the wind. lol

but there will b booze and playlists from yeah yeah yeahs! isnt that enough to attract players??! lol.

Sooo…how about some sort of UMvC3 release party guys.

Lets get something crackalackin.

Also I wanna come to town sometime soon, lets plan a game night.

Marcus and I can likely host that weekend, I’ll have to ask him about it.

I’ll be busy grinding away at work on my concept team of Deadpool/Ghostrider/Hawkeye. I think I might have to put GR on point instead of DP for safe DHC reasons. I dont think I’ll be able to safely go from DP gun hyper to any of GR’s hypers safely. The spinny chain and bike both look very unsafe on block. Or maybe put Hawkeye 2nd… but the concept of the team is to abuse the shit out of Hawkeye assist, then have him for lvl 3 XFC, which I’m hoping he gets a really good speed boost for. Maybe Deadpool will have to be my anchor? Fuck… I don’t know at this point. What I do know is that you can easily DHC into Hawkeye Golden Arrow hyper safely, while Ghostrider and Deadpool dont have safe hypers, outside of Deadpool Happy Happy Trigger from full screen.

Either way, I’ll be doing my best to figure out how to make that team work. Maybe I’ll be replacing one of the team members… but I really don’t want to. As far as pure damage goes, they would DHC into each other well, especially with Deadpool new teleport cancel ability setting up for close up hyper combos… but like I said, I’ll be grinding to figure it out all week at work when it comes out. Then maybe Marcus and I can host that weekend.

Rocket Raccoon has one of the coolest themes in MVC3 that I’ve heard YET:

I have an exam the day after the release of UMvC3, but I will definitely play afterwards.

Kinda wish this was franks theme but the theme from when he fights the chainsaw clown is cool too.

I agree. It sounds like something from Lord of the Rings. Or since he’s a Raccoon, Redwall.

I think RR’s theme is sort of a cool combination of the Daily Bugle theme and the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier theme.

Dr. Dooms theme was always my favorite for some reason.
