I hate to disagree but Phoenix is pretty much dead weight now. I have run across her about 12 or so times online and I respect them for sticking with her but its really a joke. I play either Thor/Nova/Strange Hawkeye/Strange/Nova or Firebrand/Strange/Dormammu/ and she is a complete joke now. No matter what she does if Nova Hawkeye Strange or Doamammu is on screen shes toast. She still is a problem for Thor but I have new ways of getting in with him and if she falls for it shes toast in 4 hits… Strange and Hawkeye just bully her so hard its not funny. Where as Nova and Doamammu just pimp her out on the weekend. As Far as Dr strange I completely agree with that he is by no means an easy button character. The only decent combo I have is his air impact palm loop and it took me a while to get it consistently. I have some decent ground combos with him and the fact that l mystic sword pretty much makes everything safe is sexy and helps a ton. No one is going to pick the Dr up and just wreck with him like they did with jean it takes work.

I have yet to see a Phoenix in Ultimate. Online or on a stream. What happened? I thought she was ā€œeveryone’s favorite x-men characterā€ and they only played her because of that.

I know Strange doesn’t have an AD but he so looks like he deserves one. I dislike his teleports. But if he had a tridash he would be broken.

I think I like RR because he is like Konoha. Except in a game people will actually play with me.

You know, the worst part about fighting a Wesker player is when he uses his taunt while he is without his sunglasses. It’s as if they think they are Gods that can beat you without the sunglasses buff (they can, but you know, they are so stuck-up).

Phoenix Wright is really good… you just have to have an assist to cover you while he’s on point, land objection, and go for damaging combos. Throws also help you, and when you have 3 levels of meter, the opponent is too scared to even do anything, since the Hyper is instant.

He also has a pretty decent Keepaway gameplay, you just have to get the best pieces of evidence (which, for me, works a lot).

I think I see your problem, it’s that extra :b: at the end of your directional inputs. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but what you want is :b::d::db:+:atk: , with the attack button syncing up with the down-back (or down-forward for a regular dp). I used to have a similar problem when I first got MVC2 back on the dreamcast, because for some reason when I’d played street fighter on the snes I’d taught myself to do forward then fireball in order to do a dragon punch, which kind of worked on the snes street fighter even though I was technically doing it wrong. I guess now that controls are more exact, you really need to do the more correct input.

Now, even more odd, can someone tell me why I can do Wesker’s raw teleports without skipping a beat from either side of the screen, yet I have trouble doing Strider’s teleports just because in my head I’m thinking of them as being backwards, even though I’m technically doing the same inputs over the course of a side-switching match?

Someone on PSN should come fight my hawkeye!:sunglasses:

The issue is even if she’s your favorite x-men character, you try using her. the argument before was that she was usable without going dark. one air action, health below 400,000 (lower than ALL characters bread and butter combos, hell less than most magic series with supers, some mashed supers deal over 300,000 now), technology to take bars away, lower bar building in general, how feasible is it that you’d see people not getting frustrated because the wrong part of their character was weakened.
If and when dark phoenix is accessed she’s still a problem, its just that reaching her went from easy, to not worth the effort ( for now). Imagine if dante could only use 3 specials per combo, or wesker only had one gunshot per combo.( i know some only use it once but meh)

I’m sure Phoenix players are out there, just not nearly as common. She’s a solid character it’s just that before you could have he as anchor for funsies and now it’s build your team around her or die.

not really an issue i guess the odds just went from like 70-30 to 30-70(not speaking in terms of teirs etc) in favor of phoenix losing.

Nope. Wright in Turnabout Mode is 100% broken. If you have the cell phone in TM, you basically instantly win because you can rapid fire and chip someone to death in seconds. If they make a move on you, throw out the level 3. Seriously, the finger is good, but people are massively underutilizing his zoning tools.

Alright where is that HnH mode, i want me some parrys.

How long did it take for event mode to come out?

Strider/Capt Intro

Strider: " " (doesn’t matter)

Capt: ā€œYou remind of Batroc the Leaper, which means you don’t stand a chance.ā€

SSSSHHHIIIIZZZZZ. Okay then Capt.

I’m a former pad player, so I may be of assistance. First of all, using a control stick is so much easier than the pad. Just had to throw that out there, DP’s become super easy. Dante’s vanilla Beehive was cake on analog, yet I could hardly do it on a stick. To actually contribute something, there are two possible flaws with those motions. Possibility #1 is that the :qcb: is too far apart from the :b:. In other words, do it faster. Possibility #2 is the above, but to make it easier for the game to differentiate the :rdp: and :qcb:, make your inputs look either like this ( :rdp: ) or, if you slide your thumb, this ( :b::db::d::db: ). I know I couldn’t do DP’s in Marvel when I first got my stick, but I corrected it by dropping the :f: from the end of my DP’s. Now I have no problems with that.

Edit - Someone beat me to it. Didn’t even see that, lol.

Man, always the Wesker and/or Akuma players. Play my brand new Zero/Vergil/Strider team, guy loses, then (barely) wins one then taunts. Then I pick my main Zero/Dante/Doom team and beat him 4 times in a row and taunt every game. I can’t even practice teams online against randoms.

If someone wants to play later add me on XBL: Kawaii X Usagi. I’ll post again when I’m ready to play. I need to lab a little. I have no idea how to control Vergil/Strider. No airdashes means I have no idea what I’m doing lol.

Man, I have nobody to play with, my arcade stick is stuck in an impounded vehicle, and my internet keeps cutting out so I can’t even play online. I need more friends who like fighting games (AKA ANY)

Dicking around with Frank and Strider in training mode is awesome and all but doing it on a ps3 controller is not… Oh well, the game is awesome and I’m really impressed by the new characters. Nearly all of them are fun to play, Firebrand especially. He seems pretty goddamn crazy good, but that might just be me being a scrub.

This. So much.

The fingers isn’t what you should be afraid of, in fact you can easily run away from it. If a Wright player just keeps using the fingers, they’re playing him wrong. The real terror comes from his evidence.

Think of it like a real trial, you can’t just point and object, you need evidence to back it up. This is the whole design of Wright after all, you play Ace Attorney in Marvel.

He’s not a pick and win 100 games instantly character, give it/him time its only week 1.

I don’t see how Ds is heir to Jeans anchor throne either, DP jean is a monster, and Strange is his own monster.

Here’s an interesting theory I thought of, regarding Mega Man.

During September, Lupinko mentioned two characters in Street Fighter x Tekken that are completely mind blowing and unexpected, and then hinted both appearing in a trailer. People thought it was NANCY, or Cody and Guy, but I don’t think it was speculated much. I then looked at one of the trailer, got a crazy thought, but since I didn’t have time/cared much to share it with anyone I just forgot about it.

Why do I bring this up now? Becase Lupinko tweeted this

Yellow Dude = Pac Man
Blue Boy = Mega Man
Now here’s the thing, these are the characters I exactly thought up before, and what do you know, they both appeared in one of the trailers! Lupinko also tweeted this.

So think about it…all the fans going mad and all that…because the reason why Mega Man isn’t in UMvC3 is because he’s going to be in another Capcom fighters, Street Fighter x Tekken?
Please don’t take this seriously, it’s just a theory I thought of that I wanted to share. And mind you, I really don’t care about Mega Man, I’m just sharing this with anyone so people stop bitching about Mega Man and know the POSSIBLY real reason why he isn’t in UMvC3.

Wouldnt happen to have of, or know where to see a video of her new ending?

Anyone notice that the victory screen art seems to reference poses from so and so characters have made in the past?

Like Magneto: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/Magslee.PNG

Or Viewtiful Joe: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1a/RedHotRumble.jpg/256px-RedHotRumble.jpg

There are some others I can’t remember but yeah.

if you play wesker you should be castrated
