“I need more power!”
I’M MOTIVATED
Games barely holdin the T rating as it is with shuma runnin around fighting characters like Morrigan and Tron, and Chris with his sexual language
Don’t forget Felicia. And Iron Man’s “borderline” flirting with Tron.

I know I just set myself up for that one, but because I don’t like to delete posts unless necessary, this’ll remain as a reminder of my lack of foresight.
Gameplay looks generic as fuck for a DMC game, but then again it isn’t a DMC game. It’s another dull hack and slash by a team that have only produced terrible hack and slashers. You have uttered blasphemy Swedish Chef. As penance you are sentenced to 40 lashes and 3 hours of DMC3.
Dante, the Iggy Pop of Devil Hunters. Seriously though, stoic Dante was a BAMF and DMC2 had the most interesting set up of all the games. It had mystery and atmosphere, just not gameplay.I actually like to think of his cameo in Nocturne/Lucifer’s Call as canon so I can enjoy a post-apocalyptic DMC game that actually played well. It’s sad when Dante’s second most enjoyable outing wasn’t even part of his own series. One of these days someone will make a DMC game that doesn’t suck. One day…
This is spos’d to be punishment?
Penance, to cleanse his filthy heathen soul. Claims to have never played a DMC game and extolls the virtues of that… that mockery!? To the stocks with him!
So to get back on topic, when the hell are we gonna get a Marvel 3 without invincible assists? The whole “bait and attack” doesnt work if they dont take dmg or if the point character is someone like Dante who’s teleporting behind you. And snapping them in is wasting a meter just for a potential kill (which you’ll probably have to use XF on as well).
Why punish someone when you can show them the path to enlightenment?
Really? I thought it looked like a Bayonettaish version of DMC, more vertical action and whatnot. Seems coolio to me so far, except the “Flock of Seagulls” Dante.
What?
This game needs real invincible assists.
To my knowledge we have Turnabout Wright (you deserve it if you get there) Gold Hsien-Ko (Same as Wright only worse assist but easier to get+ takes damage) Haggar (I beat it out all the time now, doesn’t have hard knockdown) Skrull and Hulk (beaten pretty easily, don’t really lead to combos)
This game needs real invincible Shoryus/Shadow Blades etc. Punishable on block, of course. The pressure is wayyyyy too safe and braindead, but the old invincible assists of Vanilla were just too much.
I agree. Invincible assists are good, but as long as you can punish them if they fuck up.
Add more invincible assists while removing the invincibility during the taunt before they leave the screen and we’re good to go.
Exactly. And its not like Tron or Psylocke where you’re getting a full combo for connecting. If done correctly, at best you could get an air loop or a super maybe but it’d be character and spacing dependent, plus the assists don’t put them in hitstun for very long so if you blocked an attack and the assist hit them, you’d be in blockstun before you could convert to a combo.
As long as you’re not getting retarded damage off of hard knockdowns I don’t see any problem with invincible assists. It’s not even punishability, it’s the hard knockdown/comboability + invincibility that made them retarded.
Hm, if I was in charge of making the assist I’d have the opponent flip out and air reset if they were hit by the uppercut. Like how Hulk’s is now, only with actual invincibility.
I agree, however, the problem with invincible assists is that they can be used as a crutch. Sure they stop rush down, but they also provide free (and safe) pressure. Dont know mix-ups? Cant perform any cross-ups? Dont know how/dont want to risk a throw? Just press that assist button for a easy way of trying to get a hit on your opponent. Wright takes no dmg and honestly its not that hard to get 3 pieces of evidence. Hsien-ko takes dmg but she still plows through you if she’s close (and I dont see who would call her from full screen). Haggar isnt bad but if used after a teleport so that you cant punish the teleport or Haggar, its just dumb. If Wright could be hurt and Hsien-ko’s didnt take up nearly half a screen it wouldnt be that bad.
Like if Ryu’s SRK was invincible, it wouldnt be bad bc it’d be hard to combo off of and it only hits like right in front of the opponent.
Well, I done goof’d.
If Ninja Theory can marry their peerless performance capture with Capcom’s free-flowing combat, DmC is going to be fucking AMAZING.
But I’m pretty sure they’re going to drop the ball on the combat.
Any guy who dares to replace a mythical figure such as Dante with his own image to troll people all over the world deserves my respect. So as long as the gameplay is relatively good, and they don’t give me a Tameem Vergil, my Bison Dollars are on this game.
eh, neh. It’s already looking like garbage. Bad developer, not to metion the atrocious redesign of Dante. Get outta here with that.
They are terrible, terrible developers who utterly fail at combat design. Every Ninja Theory is a bland, unchallenging, homogenous mess and DmC looks no different.
Let that be the last time this thread hears of them. They’ve ruined enough without adding UMVC3 general to their list.
