To me the shadow mode sounds extremely lame… trying to make a cpu play like a great player is a farce. All it can do is copy their combos and movement patterns. Great players aren’t great b/c of that… they are great b/c they’ll have impeccable timing in doing exactly what you didn’t expect them to do. G’luck getting a puter to do that…
That and I refuse to squander more money on DLC unless it includes some kind of patch to the actual game mechanics… which is where they ought to be putting their time atm anyways…
WTF is going wrong now with MVC3?? That shadow mode is complete GARBAGE and waste of money. I started liking this game for the first 2 weeks and now seems like I’m having a second opinion about it. Waste of money on that shadow mode crap and I’ve notice that when I got to 4th Lord seems like all the good players all of a sudden come into play. I swear, I can’t even seem to get 3 straight wins and I keep bumping the same people regularly. I know I’m not the best out there but this game is really becoming a HUGE disappointment super quick. The more add-on crap mode they put in the more garbage this game is becoming. Anyone feel that same here??
It’s about money. Fixing problems with a game costs money… while selling more addons to a game that has problems… makes money. Not hard to see where capcom comes from is it?
They MIGHT fix a few things… but they WONT do it til they’ve unleashed enough DLC packs to resell you the GOTY or SUPER edition or wtver b/c that’s more money… so they might at that point justify to themselves tweaking peoples complaints.
Pretty easy to see the formula they been running with ever since SF2…
Like the 7 versions of SF2
Like the 3 (soon to be 4) versions of SF3
Like the (already!) 3 versions of SF4
Trust me… though you’ve already bought the game… you wont get to play a really ‘playable’ version for about 2 years (and that’s only gonna be if you buy it again.)
While the Shadow Mode was free. They had the FUCKING nerves to add that instead of spectator…Spectator is an IMPORTANT add-on. Not something they should wait to release.
I bet if capcom released a DLC product that shot turds at you from the blueray drive while you played… you’d be telling us how much more exciting it is than just playing.
But since your such a genuinely nice guy who never trolls… and I’m an understanding fellow devoid of sarcasm let me ask how many next gen VS series games capcom created so far. OH… this one… that we are talking about. Meaning the point of your statement was…
The game was rushed to release, it’s missing quite a few rudimentary modes that are now standard FG material, no excuses can account for the sad state of reality. Aside from spectator mode still MIA after it’s first DLC release, is the continual overlooking of integral problems in the matchmaking mechanism. I still cant search for same region ranked/player matches, along with a slew of others who’s problems with the matchmaking vary, coupled with the mighty boot back to the online main menu :gasp: To think, their first patch did not only cover ANY aspect of the troublesome online experience -nor of any trivial infinties found- , but made tidy room for the DLC shadow mode ? !
If that isn’t a slap to the consumers face, I don’t know what is.
I’ve been a loyal capcom customer for oh… about 20 years now… and after mvc3 I’m completely disenfranchised with them… fuck them. The netcode is buggy as shit… not even accounting for the fact that the netcode can’t even keep up when it IS working right. Arbitrary lag left n right in situations where marvel 2 would be fine even though its faster and more precise.
Meanwhile I remember s-kill’s statement to sandord n yipes at some demo that got taped “gentlemen right now you have to play tvc style but eventually you will be able to set your stick up mvc2 style”… fucking bullshit… strait up lie apparently.
Meanwhile even the basic mechanics are suspect. Most supers seem to have about 40% extra hitbox that you can’t even see. Most of the characters seem to have the same damn combos apart from animation. Pointless OTG mechanics where you can’t roll but can do OTG combos (cookie cutter ones) wtf is the point? If theres no roll guessing game don’t make 75% of the cast do launch, sj.basic series xx divekick OTG, relaunch. That’s lame as hell. If no one can roll how about inventive combos? But no… they literally designed all the combos for this game by hand and yet they came out lame? Really?
Even playing the game feels like my creativity is utterly stifled compared to marvel 2 where I can string together anything the physics allow… vs doing some prebuilt combo.
What was it about the TERRIBLE sales of TvC that made them go “hell ya we’ll make it just like tvc”? Fuck it all… I get more pissed about this game every time I play, talk, or think about it. Thanks for ruining my year capcom. I’m so done with you. And while I’d love to play some 3rd strike online… I ain’t buying that shit. I already own 2 different fucking versions of that… not paying for it again. Fuck off capcom. Your the biggest cash whore I’m aware of ever existing in the realm of video games.
I already found your problem. You set yourself up for the disappointment it’s like some of you guys actually believed that MvC3 was going to be as good as MvC2 which was probably one of the biggest flukes in fighting game history.
My problem is it’s like they didn’t even try to make it like marvel 2 or even marvel 1… its literally TvC with marvel characters instead of tatsunoko ones.
After the downgrade from 3rd strike to SF4 and the same thing with Guilty Gear to Blazblue I honestly don’t expect much from fighting games anymore. Still though from the sounds of it a lot of you guys are focusing to much on how this game isn’t MvC2 rather then how this game is MvC3. Try to enjoy the game for what it is and you might see the game in a different light. I can enjoy both SSF4 and MvC3 because of this but it doesn’t always work. I still think BB is one of the worst fighting games in existence.
the layout is whatever, you can fix it. when i was playing the game i ran
L H A1
M S A2
its the closest to MvC2 the game will get, and it works pretty good.
i didnt even mind the exaggerated groundbounce, the 50 fucking year window of opportunity to do an OTG (seriously, X-23’s OTG attack is ridiculous…she goes BACKWARDS, crouches, SLIDES FORWARDS and you cant tech roll or anything lol wtf), the combos looking NOTHING like normal vs series combos, the obtrusive hitsparks making it impossible to tell whats a high attack or low attack, the slow physics or the clunkiness that 3d models bring…no, i wouldve gotten over ALL OF THAT and learned to love the game if not for…
i dont like the combo system. there really isnt much more to say about it other than that. its not satisfying.
The point isn’t to map your keys to look like MvC2’s layout but to actually have the buttons.
LP HP A1
LK HK A2. However, I don’t know how the launcher/exchange is going to work. Only way I can see it if they do the motion like Tatsunoko vs Capcom. If the game didn’t have launcher button. I swear that players wouldn’t mash in this game. They mash and try to do an aerial combo into an unrollable OTG > special -_-’
well if anyone was assuming capcom meant dedicated punch/kick buttons, they were fooling themselves, i mean it was the tatsunoko guy making this game lol
yeah, the combos in training mode look neat (especially wolverine/iron man/dooms) but in a match you end up resorting to just keepaway sentinel spit+doom missiles. and the lack of lasers in this game really hurts…i know i joked about it before, but seriously, this game needs more beams. one of the few true beams in the game is one of the best moves (spit) we need some MOB and AHVB up in this bitch.
whatevs though, mvc3 fans want this to be a pro-mvc3 thread, and the mvc2 thread isnt the place to bitch about the game. lol
wish I can remember this dudes name I fought the other day but he had the best chris I’ve seen online, actually the only chris I’ve played that was decent lol.
