Ultimate mvc3 iron man

Ahaha yeah its sad to hear stark say"no problem i got this!" every round and 3 sec after IM is dead XD
Vizard seems much stronger with IM as second. He did a nice crossup S + wesker gunshot moments ago.

I think people just need to spend more time with Iron Man in general. I don’t think he’s that bad at all at anchor. Of 50 characters he’s maybe like the 30th worst anchor at worst and XF2/3 always gives you enough durp to kill down one person no matter what.

The more important thing is to build your team up strong from the front if you have Iron Man as anchor or have your 2nd character have a strong assist for Iron Man that you can tag/DHC into. That way your team won’t be as one dimensional as just ā€œsit on Iron man anchorā€ team. Especially if that 2nd character is a solid anchor themselves and TAC’s into him well for combo extension.

LOL. Yeah that shit cracks me up. Iron Man is way more confident in his anchor abilities than the people using him.

Either way I still think we got a lot to learn about Iron Man in all his spots so can’t get discouraged too much about early Iron Man play.

Especially when the character for a lot of the old Iron Man players feels like a 51st character with all his changes.

We’re here in London

I feel that his team doesn’t back IM up well anyway, so he is stuck dead last. Even if he isn’t, he will only be a liability, because vizard’s team need his assist to function, not his point game. I also think vizard is trying too hard to attack with him and rushes too much, it would have worked in vanilla because IM was pretty much a slower Magneto with longer normals, but in UMVC3, IM’s rush down game is not there without assists (namely drones). He should sit back, stay in the air, and mix ADD attack and the odd box jump and let them come to you. But what do I know, maybe he knows something I don’t know that will make anchor IM more effective.

I live reasonably close to London (1 hour train, although it will take me 40 mins to walk to the station:(), I guess online is the way to go then, but maybe weekend afternoons, when I am not at work and football is not on, then I will come down.

Indeed. Even if i tend to play him as second now, i won’t stop trying to improve his anchor game XF3 iron-avenger is just too stylish to be thrown away :wink:
My main problem now is to erase all vanilla data i have about IM, and start anew, try new tech etc.
I’m still doing double jump mixups to catch people of guard sometimes^^ Damn muscle memory XD

I just still haven’t mastered sj uf ADD yet is all lol… i always get d/b…
and I never have the life lead to just sit back sadly.

how far are you from Potters Bar? there’s an arcade opening up soon.

I live in Milton Keynes. I don’t know where Potters Bar is:(

well, that’s all we have for today, my friend got the pci card today and I helped him with his test stream.
I promise I’ll get better!
but I’ll need help.

cause right now, I feel mighty fraudulent… :frowning:

Potters Bar is North of London, not too far out of it. But It’s closer to you than Piccadilly Circus.

I will need to research on how to get there lol. Bad sense of directions and not having a car is very bad for travels. Google map isn’t helping at all!

Oh yeah I like your box jump SB, it look decent for chip and pressure and I didn’t know you can get another jump attack after that as well.

Hey don’t worry, its cool to see IM footage, even when you lose, you can use the video feedback to analyse and make your game better.
Please keep up the good work :wink:

I’ll be playing again tomorrow at CTB III in Killeen, Texas. Playing on my own stick this time so hopefully my execution will be pretty decent, While I’m fairly good compared to most Austin players, Houston has a really solid Marvel scene so we’ll see how things go. Wish me luck, I’ll need it with this character…

good luck. hopefully you can post up the games… idk where the url stream for that is, but i doubt i’d be able to watch it live since my timezone is completely different to that of the states.

C’mon son, I have played against you several times you have a godlike team your weak point i notice you never raw tag when the opportunity present itself leaving spencer or wesker to die with half red health. Wesker is for frauds but your wesker is probably one of the best wesker i have played.

If you play solid you won’t need luck, he’s your second spot on your team any ways so you wanna be doing most of the work with Spencer before it gets to him any way. Even then Doom is still solid anchor and Iron Man + missiles can do work. Just keep Spencer alive and the rest should work out. The best teams are ultimately the ones where the point character can run through teams easily before the other 2 characters come out. That way there’s less clean up.

Drawing the first kill is the biggest thing that will make you successful in this game regardless of your team.

So I need to find more opportunities to tag out? (my team lacks really safe DHC’s so) I generally wait to get a hit and THEN tag them out 100% safely…
But I guess what I’m saying is that I leave my characters hurting for too long.

Thanks for the Wesker complement… honestly that one is very rare to recieve =(

been inspired by joker , saw a random video of him hit confirm from half screen with a j.h while i already knew it was posible even in the last game, it was very slick

just need to get out of the habbit of trying to double jump whenever i see that h connect

I have been running jokers team in fact(kinda embarrased about this) I don’t think he’s great by any stretch but im finding things that work far better than I relised

need to get a ton of new habbits worst one is for a while , whenever I saw somebody crocuh blocking a drone I will try n tri dash then go"oh yer " while i get bopped

Ended up getting 4th at Central Texas Brawl last night, landed some cool TAC combos on stream, I was doing Krispy pretty consistently throughout the tournament but I don’t know if you’ll see it in any of the streamed matches, once the archive comes up I’ll try to link to specific match times.

EDIT: http://www.twitch.tv/boomgorillas/b/306897469

Part 5 starting at 55:30 I play losers quarters through finals in a row. Not my best play but I think i play better here for the most part than I did at ufo, including what I would consider a pretty hype combo at around 59:30.

Word…I’m trying to put together some TAC stuff between Iron Man and Dante so it’ll be interesting to see. Krispy Kreme is pretty standard hit confirm stuff so good to hear.
