Ask this Dante player. He’s a 360 player who uses a keyboard to play. Clearly, it’s not impossible. Besides, one of the benefits of PC gaming is that you can control the game however you want. Mouse and keyboard, controller, fight stick, racing peripherals, etc.
You can use Xbox360, PS3 controllers and arcade sticks on the PC. So if you have either console you are good to go. And what kind of keyboard got 2 keys as max input? …
go play an emulator and try pressing more than 2 keys at once and see how much you can move.
That’s playing on his xbox though. on the pc it’s different I believe, at least with emulators it is. Plus you point out one example of someone who was able to adapt very well, but how practical is that really? Of course you’re gonna have some individuals able to perfect anything, doesn’t mean it’s something that’s widely possible.
Ok, so I was just playing some Arcana Heart 3 (on PC, before you start shouting about it being on Xbox) using my keyboard. I held down 4 keys and I could still move in any direction I wanted, up+left/right as well. It’s not limited to 2 keys by the keyboard, but by whatever emulator you are using. And I don’t intend to play uMvC3 on a SNES emulator, so I don’t get how that is relevant.
I’d also imagine that most people who plan on buying this have a pad/stick already, or are used with playing fighting games on a keyboard. Can’t say I see avarage joe 30+ buying this game to play casually, and then complaining that he can’t perform advanced combos due to the keyboard.
People are finding very weird reasons to argue against a port that in no way make them unable to play on their own platform. Most mainstream games are released on all three platforms (Nintendo is sitting in its own corner), so I don’t really understand the reluctance to do the same with fighting games.
I doubt people making this request have thought that far ahead and are all people accustomed to playing fighting games on keyboard. That’s your assumption. A lot of times people make arbitrary suggestions without thinkin through on the mechanics of how it will all come together. It’s possible that many do and will get controllers, it’s also possible that they don’t and won’t realize how difficult it is until the time comes to play.
I probably wouldn’t, but I have a friend who would buy it in a heartbeat so there’s probably a market for it out there.
Plus like it was previously said, the mods for this game would be amazing.
People could get X and finally shut the hell up about him.
Modding this game would make it delicious. I swear, I shall go to town with my Sarah Palin skinned Sentinel barfing lazor beams out of her mouth.
It works with Street Fighter IV. That involves inputs of three buttons or more at the same time. It was ported to the PC with keyboard controls and had no issues whatsoever. Why does everyone keep forgetting about that?
The keyboard button input restriction is not a PC specific issue. The actual keyboard hardware is to blame due to the layout of the button grid.

You have a really cheap keyboard. Besides do you play fighting games on a keyboard, I’m guessing no.
This might as well be posted on a BLOPS forum for the level of PC knowledge people have. Heck I’m trying to get my dad to upgrade to a $130 llano chip which is a processor + integrated graphics and I’m positive it’s more powerful than the old as dirt internals in an xbox.
I’d Steam download this in a second, and that’s worse case scenario. They already adapted RE5 for PC to my knowledge the hard work for MvC3 is already done, it’s an easy afterthought. We can finally see decent framerates and probably even improved online.
P.S. I’m a bad example of cheap PC Gaming, I have two 6950’s 
Problem with capcom ports to PC is normally the lack of support IMO. That and missing content (mainly DLC).
On keyboards : We really should have kept PS/2 for keyboards, too bad USB basically took over. So the next best thing is that they need to start making USB keyboards that aren’t complete ass (outside of mechanical and a few select rubber dome keyboards, which tend to be “too expensive” for most).
Agreed, Ps2 keyboards are too hard to find these days. I just went with a Black Widow Ultimate. Loud, but amazing…
Well your guess is wrong, why would I be speaking on the matter unless I have played fighters on keyboards. So keep your half ass assumptions to yourself. Talking about PC knowledge, processors are secondary to RAM and Graphics Cards when it comes to gaming, idiot. MY processor is like ten years old, but with the right complimentary components I can play just about any current PC game. And what does RE5 have anything to do with MVC3? Or are you gonna give some meritless remark on how porting that game helps give them the “experience” to go ahead and do so with UMvC3.
Getting 10 FPS on low is not playing a game, just letting you know.
Another wannabe know it all who thinks he knows everything.
lol okay enjoy your P4 with 4GB DDR2 max and an extremely bottlenecked GPU with PCIE 1x.
Fuck yeah man, it would help make the scene bigger and make running tournaments easier.
At least in my country.
Nice google retrieval. I bet you buy new processors on a yearly basis, like a sap.
Actually no I didn’t google I just know what I’m talking about. And no I went from a Pentium D to an i7 920, so again you’re wrong.
