I’ve noticed that the commentators also do that regardless of whether Firebrand is kicking the opponent’s ass or not.

For the most part I agree, though there is a definite correlation between poor post quality and later join dates. That’s not to say that all bad posters are post 09 or that all good posters are pre 07. However in general people who have been serious for fighting games longer signed up on SRK longer ago and thus have more experience in both playing and discussing things related to fighting games.
Even they did get used it,it controls the momemtum for MODOK. Jamming bomb trains people to stop pressing buttons, and become obsessed with blocking. They might be able to block the jamming bomb state, but they won’t be able to control the character. Most importantly, Jamming Bomb effects stay out if you tag out or DHC. If you DHC into the jammed Character, you have to do the jammed motion…
The only reason why this move isn’t cheap enough is because MODOK’s doesn’t have powerful mixups like Magneto. If a character like Magneto had this move…:wow:
True true, but insulting on the basis of join date is foolish, and I am sure you agree.

I do, I find little need to insult people on forums in general. Most of the time they just disagree with me in a way that doesn’t effect anything as they aren’t part of a legal body or Capcom or anything else that will influence my life.
Lol seriously who cares. If someone makes fun of your join date then just ignore them.
You are right about the Assists order but There is an exception to the rule. If Thor is ever your second character his cross over attack is pretty ridiculous. It ground bounces leads to a full combo.
I agree to an extent. Innovation is indeed what will change the metagame, but it will never be crucial to winning tournaments simply because the basic BNB will not stop working. Don’t get me wrong, MVC3 is a blast, but its been dumbed down so much that basic stuff will ALWAYS work. Add the fact that DLC is always possible with balance changes and things probably won’t get found out much like Jill who got “nerfed” supposedly. And then of course there’s X-factor which will ALWAYS be a random factor in the game. To reiterate I do agree with you and wish that things would develop more but in a game like (U)MvC3, there will never be a need for innovation unless we want to see combo videos or if a pro is determined to bring a low tier character into the limelight.
And just to play devils advocate here, I don’t remember Wolvie, Wesker, Akuma, Or Phoenix ever losing effectiveness over the 7 month period of the games original lifespan. If you’re speaking of Sentinel, yes his overall derpness went down, but he was still high tier and was usually used in tournament play.
Also to weigh in on the Heavy Ranking discussion … I played Nemesis(launcher)/Strider(varja)/Dormammu(Dark Hole) for about 2 or 3 hours and I will say I like Nemesis more than I originally thought but still do not think he is better than Thor. He is good enough however for me to make a team around him which I will be doing over the next few days. Nemesis on point is scary his standard BnBs do more damage than Thor’s do but Thor has much greater reset potential. I do Love :f:+:h: tentacle poke it is annoying as hell outside of that his armor still starts to late and you can be hit out of just about everything his normals range from decent to downright horrid. I do like his X factor reset options they lead to death for everyone Not named Thor even in level 1 x factor.
As far as Anchor Tier I think the list would be a complete toss up but Thor and Sentinel would be the best options while Nemesis and Hulk would be the worst. I also think Nemesis Thor and Hulk are better than sent on point they all have room for some error where as sentinel does not.
He ran both, dunno what you’re talking about.
After playing a bit more with Zero in actual matches, I can definitely say that he’s a LOT better than in Vanilla. His new combo extensions boost his damage to retarded levels and his mixup/reset game is easily the most retarded i’ve seen in this game.
His mobility is also way too good now. Lightning>Buster>Air Dash>Command Dash = I believe I can flyyyyyy
Buster hard knockdown nerf seems like one of those things that had to happen, especially with what I can only imagine would be endless loop of setsuizsanxxbuster, launch repeat. I love a good Zero though, so stylish.
lol @ ppl picking trish for counter picking wesker. that bitch is no problem with vajra assist. i used to be one of the non-believers but fuck it. wesker with doom beam, and vajra assist takes care of most weskers issues. this guy is fucking godlike and i do firmly believe he will remain top 5 throughout this game lifespan.
sad thing is, that team is actually pretty legit. well, vergil/dante/wesker.
What’s funny is with those assists, they solve literally ZERO of his bad matchups from the first one xD
Ooh, I got douche chills from that pun haha!
Dormammu Magnus and Strange says fuck Wesker!
we don;t drink dat shit.
Strange probably doesn’t…but yeah, those two do. Now that tridash offense isn’t negated by full combo from gunxxteleport, he might have an issue or two with the big rushdown. cough Storm cough
zero is just a fag in genral so it’s whatever with him lol.
Sad thing is every order works extremely well, but Dante/Vergil/Wesker looks like the cheapest. Unblockables all day, yeahhh
And so is Dante…and Viper…and Vergil…and Firebrand…woops, guess Wesker isn’t top 5 =/
