^do it, capcom
Wow, arduous trying to get here all day to see what you all thought. In an early page, whoever said that mixed emotions were perfectly valid is 100% dead-on imo.
For those who thought that the leak was just a little tooooo convenient (and hey, it did seem that way) sorry, but check out Seth’s reaction:

“They are real…and they are gorgeous.” (quoting Terry Hatcher on Seinfeld about her boobs-go Seth!)
Hsien Ko is barely scraping “good” in XF3, at least compared to the rest of the cast, lol.
It was sort of odd. I figured we’d get Psylocke for sure, and though impossible, I hoped for Typhoid Mary. Still, what we have is fine.
Excuse me?
I don’t even play Wesker and could care less what happens to him in UMvC3, but everyone before this post just made a lot of very valid points as to why Wesker is fine and doesn’t need to be nerfed.
Wesker is overrated and just looks flashy.
Just because Phoenix is super powerful and can’t cross you up with a teleport doesn’t mean Wesker shouldn’t be able to cross you up in the corner either. That logic makes absolutely no sense. There’s a very valid gameplay reason why Phoenix can’t cross you up in the corner and it’s because she’s so powerful. It’s called balance.
Wesker is well balanced between his safe normals and his unsafe teleports.
Wesker honestly has nothing else to him besides his reset game and a few gunshots here and there.
Also in regards to your meter statement, a lot of characters in this game can build a good amount of meter quickly. Zero can easily build 2 meters in one combo easily. Wesker builds average meter, he just doesn’t have a use for it because his hypers suck so it builds up quickly. I don’t think this is something to complain about
AIR HYPER MONGOOSE BEAM
I am so glad you posted that. I resisted the temptation for some reason because it was in my head the entire time making my post, but anyways, thank you, my good sir.
I don’t use Wesker lol
Strongest character in the game doesn’t need to cross you up in the corner to be the strongest character in the game.
I don’t understand what you’re saying at the bolded part. People are doing teleport and then S right after? Wat?
Tasky combo isn’t absurd. Either is Doom.
Your logic is flawed.
Roster: C’mon, we all know the real name of this game series is “Fan Service VS Fan Service 3” and the only way to create the perfect roster would be to divide the whole damn thing in 3 sections:
First 1/3) Current Favorites,
Second Third) Most memorable entries from MvsC2, even if they are ancient history
Last Third) What the $uits think is necessary to push their precious franchise plans and movie tie-ins.
When Seth gets back to the Capcom USA offices I imgaine he is ltierally going to kill someone. Whoever leaked the roster made his job for the next few months about 100x more difficult and awkward. And I don’t blame him, Seth is way too chill a guy to have to put up with this crap.
(Subdivide by sex, race, villain vs hero and game/comic of origin)
Lay the formula out for all to see, and let the damned fans vote em in
My partial UMVC3: Arcade Edition (or whatever adjective the third edition has) wishlist:
Everything from UMVC3
Mega Man X
Gene
Captain Commando
Jin Saotome
Gambit
Psylocke
Cyclopse
Venom
All alternate costumes on disc, unlocked
Knowing Capcom, Arcade Edition will probably have only 4 characters, and all the costumes will have to be paid for through the store just like in SSFIVAE (even though the charade that we were paying to “download” those disappeared quite a while ago). Even so, if one of those characters is Mega Man X I will probably buy it since it’s likely going to be the last version of MVC3.
I feel awful for Seth, he’s probably one of the nicest guys who works at Capcom, but at the same time I’m relieved I don’t have to wait for months now to know the full roster.
Can someone explain to me how the victim of repeated TACs now losing meter is going to make for a better match? Why the push for a perfect and never-ending stream of tagged aerial combos? Is that all the match is supposed to be? Boring ass phuck.
The leak has errbody all stirred up!!!
I feel where you are coming from, but it kind of sucks to know in advance, ya know? I fucking lost it when I saw the 4 characters revealed, but at the same time, agreeing with what you said, it is nice to not get my hopes dashed and be waiting for a dawn after the final sunset.
Right now, I split the new characters into two sections.
The Favorites - Dr. Strange, Vergil, Nemesis, Strider, Frank West, Ghost Rider
The Cult Favorites - Iron Fist, Rocket Raccoon, Phoenix Wright, Firebrand, Hawkeye, Nova
This is how I see it. Although Gambit, Venom, and X would have been great, they chose not to include them.
no one in their right mind would make a “sexy wesker” comment without having that in their heads. lol.
btw, how the hell do you think they’ll do Wright’s moves? it would be cool if they made use of the magatama, like in a level 3. imagine if he caught you with it-- a green lifebar (like in the game) appears on the left side of the screen, then chains and several locks appear over your opponent as Nick makes them shatter with sheer logic. shit, that would be so boss.
I was very disappointed not to see Lord Raptor anywhere, Red Arremer doesn’t look as awful as I thought he would be but ol’ Zabel was with him in Dormmy’s ending too. What an annoying tease.
Lets just be honest wesker needs some nerfs besides a small health nerf, i would say
-No launcher should have THAT HUGE OF A HITBOX and be safe on block (same with storm)
-there is absolutely NO reason anti-air gun should give you 10 years to combo after it, thats just stupid
-i honestly think his teleport is fine just nerf his retarded xfactor speed boost
-fix maximum wesker’s dumbass cross-up properties
and to everybody saying Wesker is “overrated” or “not that good” you are fighting ASS wesker fact he was considered the best character in the game by Jwong and Floe at a point for a reason.
just to let everybody know i play wesker and i love him but hes just another one of those derpy “pick up in 5 mins and be good with them” characters and that shit needs to be toned down, look what they are doing to Logan
I’m actually pretty happy with the leaked roster. Happy enough that I’ve pre-ordered the game. Frank West was the character I was realistically hoping for, and I got him. Strider Hiryu, who I went in wanting to hate, looks legitimately interesting since he’s not primarily about chip damage lockdowns anymore. Firebrand is also a neat addition to the roster and I’m eager to at least give him a try. Phoenix Wright intrigues me, I’m curious to see how he’ll fight (I’m envisioning a defense-based character of some sort, lots of counters/reflects?).
Of the leaked twelve, I have complaints about only three. That means I’m happy with or at least willing to tolerate 75% of the new additions, which is a very good percentage. The only things I would have changed are replacing Hawkeye for Ms. Marvel if they wanted another Avenger (Taskmaster already stole most of Hawkeye’s gimmicks), Nemesis for Nina from Breath of Fire 2 (which I grant is unlikely as hell anyway, and would unfortunately have disappointed folks like Dueck who are outright ‘my dream came true!’ over Nemesis’ inclusion), and Vergil for… …anyone. Any Capcom series that doesn’t have a rep yet; I’m not picky. And considering I admit Nina-BoF2 was basically a long shot in the first place, that’s a trio of complaints I’ll learn to live with.
The leak was enough to get me to buy the game, because 8 of the 12 are interesting enough either on paper or in practice that I’m either eager to see them or willing to tolerate their inclusion, and another of the 12 was my ideal character; Frank West’s inclusion makes this game even more exciting to me. Put another way, my problem with UMvC3 won’t be who to put on my team, it will be who not to put on my team; I have at least a dozen characters I’m considering.
